On March 20, 1826, Joseph Smith Jr. appeared in civil court in Bainbridge, New York. He was accused of being a "disorderly person or an imposter." This meant perpetrating fraud. Relatives of a farmer by the name of Josiah Stoal (sometimes spelled Stowell) claimed that Smith was paid money after convincing the elderly Josiah that he could find buried money, salt mines, and other things of value by divination.

Confucius say: "Better to obtain information from horse's mouth than horse'ass."

You "scholarship" is pathetic, sloppy, and dishonest and you cleasrly have an ax to grind.

Why else would you waste so much time digging up lies and garbage? I doubt that you are worried about my eternal salvation, but if you are, don't be. Rather, worry about your own and the fact that you have borne false witness on four posts here.

Perhaps if you repent you will be allowed back into the Church and even have your priesthood and temple blessings restored. Your rants here are a poor way to go about it, though.

Reply if you wish, but you now have been warned by one having authority to do so. I have nothing further to say to you on this matter...
