Joseph Smith, when he was 14, was confused about which church to join since there was great contention at that time. It is a fact that there were many different denominations coming through to obtain converts to their particular persuasion.

Now hed be confused about which Mormon sect to join since there are many different groups of Mormonism today...
He would be more comfortable with the fLDS...
and the RLDS have the temple lot in Missouri...
but there is that SLC thingy...
Maybe he could just go to SLC and condemn Tommy and the boys for their backsliding and apostacy...
and take over as king and theocratic dictator again...
Polygamy forever again in Salt Lake City...
BTW why didnt he just join his mothers Palmyra Presbyterian Church ???
Later he joined that one and a local Methodist church...
He got excommunicated from the Methodist church and he and his whole family were shown the door of the Presbyterian church for blasphemy but HEY !!!
He had a church to join...
There’s only one Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints - that’s the one I belong to. The others are break-offs and not affiliated with the LDS Church. By the way, as you may know, I used to be a Southern Baptist. Have you ever looked up how many different sects of Baptists there are? It’s quite amazing.
But back to the LDS Church and your contention that there are all kinds of “Mormons” parading around out there calling themselves “Mormons”. Here’s the deal: They are NOT Mormons. Of course, you know this already, but it’s fun for you to link my Church to polygamists and the like. It mattereth not.
Jesus Christ is Lord who suffered and died for me. He is my personal Savior. Amen.
