("Unknown to Smith"...so the Mormon god "calls" Sherman through Lds leaders, but they don't have a "clue" that Sherman is dying? I thought the way the Mormons interpret Amos 3:7 would "kick in," that the Mormon god doesn't do anything without cluing in his "prophet"?)
This sounds a lot like the D&C passage where Smith says David W. Patten would go serve as a missionary. But then Patten dies in Missouri Oct., 1838. Without serving as a missionary, and letting this D&C passage serve as yet another Smith false prophesy.
From the column: As the saints were being forced from Kirtland, opposition leaders sought to use a printing office to manufacture anti-LDS tracts. That printing office was destroyed by fire to prevent that, and historians believe it was the ever-faithful Sherman who set the blaze to thwart Smith’s enemies.
Wow! (We don't seem to hear these details from the Mormon historians and others who tend to describe 1838 Mormon history details in a very lopsided fashion...like this article that appeared in the Deseret News based upon a Mormon History Association conference going on this weekend...Setting the record straight on the 'Hawn's' Mill Massacre [See posts #1 & #23]
And what was it with that portion of Mormon history that whenever anybody wanted to tell the truth about Mormonism, the knee jerk reaction was for Mormons to destroy printing presses? (Missouri, 1838; Nauvoo, IL, 1844 -- sanctioned from the highest hierarchical levels within Mormonism?)
Three years ago this very day, the Flying Inmans were so "dubbed" on a FReeper thread!

No dissent, no freedom of the press, no 1st Amendment rights allowed ???
So much for the mormons being the ‘saviors” of the Constituition...
It appears they were more like saboteours of the Constitution...
As the saints were being forced from Kirtland,

By their mormon god...
the mormon god drove the mormons out of OH MO because of their sins
D&C 98:18-19: “Behold...am not well pleased with many who are in the church at Kirtland; For they do not forsake their sins, and their wicked ways, the pride of their hearts, and their covetousness, and all their detestable things...”
D&C 50:4 — what Smith told the LDS church at Kirtland in May, 1831: “Behold...have looked upon you, and have seen abominations in the church that profess my name...”
“...the inhabitants of Zion are terrible...” (D&C 45:70)
Also, Smith said that the affliction, persecution and being cast out of the land of inheritance (D&C 101:1)
was because God “suffered the affliction to come upon them, wherewith they have been afflicted, in consequence of their transgressions...” (D&C 101:2)
This sounds a lot like the D&C passage where Smith says David W. Patten would go serve as a missionary. But then Patten dies in Missouri Oct., 1838. Without serving as a missionary, and letting this D&C passage serve as yet another Smith false prophesy.

Didnt Joey Smith once “prophecy” to someone they would go on a mission to the moon ???
Ignorance is as ignorance does
You don’t really grasp the Lord s way and you love measure ith the world yardstick
I have no trouble understanding one called for a mission and continue on in the other realm.
