Joseph Smith Is Tarred and Feathered [LDS lesson in children's class ages 8-11]

He was really a creep. To blackmail his followers just to have intercourse with virgins. Tar and feathering was to good for him.

I'm surprise they didn't make him a eunuch.

they had a doctor there for that purpose

the doctor chickened out...

Fawn Brodie said that the mob of mormons “dragged Joseph... They stripped him, scratched and beat him with savage pleasure, and smeared his bleeding body with tar from head to foot.... they plastered him with feathers. It is said that Eli Johnson demanded that the prophet be castrated, for he suspected Joseph of being too intimate with his sister, Nancy Marinda. But the doctor who had been persuaded to join the mob declined...” (No Man Knows My History, 1971, page 119)

Wow. I didn't know that.

This is why I don't know how the rest of the morms here on Free Republic can still hold onto JS and his religion. How can they build their faith on a morally corrupt character?

Well, in the words of one of the last lds defenders on FR - who cares.
Apparently for lds the behavior of their founders are not an issue.
So sad.

Joey Smith was tarred and feathered by his own gang in March 1832 for having sex with Nancy Johnson

Eh ???

TEN YEARS before he claimed the mormon gods told him to, Joey Smith was already cheating on his wife, Emma...

Her baby died, does not sound like a celestial marriage to me. Of course Joseph Smith died before the baby. JS was shot trying to escape jail.

JESUS: Hey Smith! Remember that boast you made about doing more than even I had done to hold the 'church' together?

JOSEPH SMITH: Where am I?

JESUS: Don't you remember? A few seconds ago you were in that jail.

JOSEPH SMITH: Oh; yeah; but where am I NOW?

JESUS: Don't you remember? Does bang - bang ring a bell?

JOSEPH SMITH: Oh; yeah - that crummy gun I had was about USELESS!

JESUS: I hope you left instructions on how to hold your church together.

JOSEPH SMITH: Dang! I knew there was SOMETHING I was forgetting!

JESUS: Looks like there's a power struggle going on down there.

JOSEPH SMITH: Yeah; there was always SOMEone who wanted the power that I held - especially over the LADIES - wink wink.

JESUS: No need to worry about that now; remember what my friend Matthew wrote down?

JOSEPH SMITH: This? “At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven” (Matthew 22:30)

JESUS: That's it.

JOSEPH SMITH: I thought that was mistranslated.

JESUS: Nah - it was right.

JOSEPH SMITH: Oh well; it was fun while it lasted. My buds will still get it on with the girls.

JESUS: Uh; I'm sorry; in just a few more years; your followers will cavein to the United States government and abandon the 'Eternal Covenant' that you came up with.

JOSEPH SMITH: ME!? YOU are the one that told me to do that!

JESUS: Sorry; but you must have mistranslated what I told you. What part of Do NOT commit ADULTERY did you not understand?

JOSEPH SMITH: mumble....

JESUS: What did you say?

JOSEPH SMITH: Oh, nothing.

JESUS: Well; it was interesting talking to you; but now I must get back to perparing a place for those who believe in Me.

JOSEPH SMITH: Oh, yeah; the Celestial Kingdom.

JESUS: No...

JOSEPH SMITH: The Telestial one?

JESUS: Nope.

JOSEPH SMITH: SUREly not the TERRESTRIAL one!!

JESUS: Nope. Didn't you read that the mind of man had NOT conceived of it? Paul wrote it down in 1 Corinthians 2:9.

JOSEPH SMITH: I thought that was mistranslated.

JESUS: No; it wasn't.

JOSEPH SMITH: You SURE?

JESUS: Yes. Now I must be going: what did you say your name was again?

JOSEPH SMITH: Joseph Smith.

JESUS: Hmmmm. According to my Heavenly FAITHbook, you didn't sign in as one of my friends - sorry, I never knew you.

JOSEPH SMITH: But....

In 1858 Brigham Young would say later "If Joseph Smith, Jun., the Prophet, had followed the Spirit of revelation in him he never would have gone to Carthage and never for one moment did he say that he had one particle of light in him after he started back from Montrose to give himself up in Nauvoo."

"Joseph; I advise you not to go to that jail."

"Darn gnats!!"

"Joseph; I'm telling you to not to go to that jail."

"Flies are BAD today!!"

"Joseph; It ain't gonna be pretty if you ignore me and go to that jail!"

"Crummy mosquitos are EVERYWHERE!!!"

"Joseph! Do NOT go to that jail!"

"And those bedbugs really savaged me last night, too!"

"JOSEPH!! Wake up boy! Do Not Go To That JAIL!!!"

"All right Sheriff - here I am, so give me a nice room while my Lawyer, my Advocate, my Comforter presents the LAW to the Judge and I am VINDICATED!!!"
