Violence in Early Mormonism - Was It All Unjust Persecution?

50.99999999999999999999999% can be most.

That’s still a lot right. Good for you.

[Elsie]

Looking at some of the Mormon properties still in Illinois and Missouri, seems they managed to keep some of it, didn't they.

Yeah; that MURDEROUS Protestant LYNCH mob of land stealers wasn't very efficient; was it!

[Osage Orange]

I doubt that Catholics and Jews are big enough haters to join into lynch mobs. I know that protestants are.

Do you have any idea who killed Jesus?

Come on, now, tell the truth, don’t you wish you and your boys could catch me out somewhere so you could take care of me?

ROFLOL!!...........You are hoot, dude.

[metmom]

I guess the folks that wound up with the land considered it a great deal since they got it at unimproved prices and only had to kill a few pesky mormons to get it. What a deal!

Like the Mountain Meadows massacre? Only had to kill a few pesky non-Mormons?

[Elsie]

At least I can spell when I post something. Have a good one!

I can bet that THIS will come back to bite!

[Elsie]

They actually got a trial, by the way, not cold steel and hot lead from the Mormon Legion.

Is THAT the bunch that was afraid to handle the US Gummint back in 1890 and helped WW to decide to cave on the POLYGAMY issue?

Well...we know who it ain't.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Yikes!

[ejonesie22]

But it was I tell you!

fact that after some years of peaceful coexitance after the initial issues and some internal struggles within the LDS, leader Sidney Rigdon pronounced:

hat mob that comes on us to disturb us, it shall be between us and them a war of extermination; for we will follow them until the last drop of their blood is spilled; or else they will have to exterminate us, for we will carry the seat of war to their own houses and their own families, and one party or the other shall be utterly destroyed..."

Had nothing to do with the Missouri troubles or starting a small war. It's all those damned protestants, the mormons were just foolin' around playin' army...

Seems the fault was two sided no matter who you are.

[ejonesie22]

Yeah, well it was before mechinization really took hold. Poor innocent souls...

[metmom]

I concede victory!

Well, since I was taught to respect my elders, I won't burst your bubble. Old people are entitled to live in their own fantasyland is they so desire. There's so little they have left to get any satisfaction from.

Enjoy.

I say they were protestants. Those that were tried were protestants. You lose again.

So, the complaints against Smith were raised by Mormons themselves that led to his arrest, but you know, without a shadow of a doubt, that all of the people who were at the jail were "Protestants."

???

Is the evidence for this that they had to show their "Protestant Union Card" at the police line in order to be admitted to the mob?

I agree with ejonesie22 - I wish he was tried.

The Masonic and Satanic symbol question that I raised on this thread was not, as you suggested, a "distraction", but a burning question that I had for you for quite awhile. Since you refused to post to me, but then changed your mind, I decided to ask you. You said you won't answer, and that's fine.

The questions, however, still remain.

[SkyPilot]

So exactly how do you KNOW that the *lynch mob* was Protestants?

See post #172.

[ejonesie22]

Inquiring minds want to know...

See you at the Protestant Lynch Mob committee meeting...

[Old Mountain man]

I question why Billy Graham makes anti-semitic statements too, but that is off the subject of this thread, isn’t it?

ADL Accepts The Rev. Graham's Apology

Rev. Graham apologized and confessed to that sin.

Well, there we are.

So......what about those Masonic and Satanic symbols on Mormon Temples?

Also, what can you tell me about THIS?

[SkyPilot]

See you at the Protestant Lynch Mob committee meeting...

I heard it was 'Pot Luck' next Thursday, but I can't decide whether to bring rolls, a side dish, or dessert?

What are you bringing?

[MHGinTN]

Apparently OMm wants ‘string cheese’ ...

[ejonesie22]

I am in charge of stretchy rope...

[Old Mountain man]

We do not put satanic symbols on our Temples.

Why did Billy say what he said?
