Well mormons clam that the local Christians drove the mormons out of some states...
The truth is a bit different...
According to Joey Smith 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)
So wheres the “slander” and “lies” when we Christians post the truth about the mormons and their walkabouts ???
OH!! They wuz gonna KILL us all and BURN us out and MAIM our children!
We just HAD to flee!
FACT: Lot's of mormons stayed behind and prospered and flourished, acquiring all the land and buildings that B.Y. decided to ABANDON on the ill-fated handcart journeys.
Prophet my butt!
