ROTFLOLWTIME!

I cannot imagine what “good men and women” you are defending.

Joey boy ought not be counted among them, nor Brigham Young.

I find it amusing that telling the simple truth about Smith’s well and widely known, and heavily documented lifelong affinity for, and involvement with the occult

(as late as 1844 he was showing off a pocket full of “seer stones” to the “Quorum of the Twelve, and told Brigham Young that he thought “every man ought to be entitled” to have one)

- his many run-ins with authorities over his treasure seeking escapades, his mother’s familiarity with the “abrac” amulet,

and literally dozens of other examples - far from being anecdotal - constitute “character assassination”...?

Kind of like his shooting death during a jailbreak effort constitutes “martyrdom” of a saint...yeah and if Joey was a martyr, then we might as well call Judas a martyr as well. It is no more of a stretch. Judas was known to help himself to the monies the group held, so, too was Joey boy. (He went further, sending men out on “missions” afield in order to facilitate assignations with their wives.)

It is hard to tell which one lived a life that did more to betray Jesus’ teachings.

At least Judas had some remorse for his actions in this life. Smith apparently had little or no sense of shame - unsurprisingly!

A.A.C.

That is a truly sad statement for anyone to make.

Your respect for the dead is ... nonexistent?

Sigh, all this has been slapped up and shot down in the past, must every Anti think they have the original idea to read the anti sites?

Be original! come up with your own stuff, OK?

constitute “character assassination”...?

Yes, because they are not true.

Kind of like his shooting death during a jailbreak effort constitutes “martyrdom” of a saint

I grew up near Nauvoo spent summers there. There was no jail break.

yeah and if Joey was a martyr, then we might as well call Judas a martyr as well.

Suicide is not martyrdom. Death by cop is not martyrdom either.

It is no more of a stretch. Judas was known to help himself to the monies the group held, so, too was Joey boy. (He went further, sending men out on “missions” afield in order to facilitate assignations with their wives.)

All posted with out link or shred of proof (since there is none) My My what a sad state antis are coming to.

Well if you know what you are saying is false, then your in the running, happy?

At least Judas had some remorse for his actions in this life. Smith apparently had little or no sense of shame - unsurprisingly!

Yeah, It's tough to have a since of shame while doing the right thing... we should all work on that.

LOL! This character assassination was brought to you by...

Satan, yes you too can be part of the effort to posthumously destroy a man's good name by repeating lies, don't worry, you don't have to make them up we have the father of lies on the board, he can crank them out, you just slap your name on and repeat, it's easy like all Satan's plans we do all the work for you! Why not try it, it's easy!
