I'm not a fan of shooting ducks in a barrel, so I will again take my leave, and probably won't be back unless you once again endeavor to butcher Mormon history and I feel the need to correct you. With my departure I leave this gift: My advice at this point is if you want to have legitimate discussi...

Why yes, he did commit a crime that he was convicted of (he plead guilty). Ever hear of William Bagby? Joseph assaulted him. He did the same to Calvin Stoddard in Kirtland: In 1835 Joseph assaulted his Brother in Law, Calvin Stoddard and was taken to Court. From the Painesville Telegraph: Kirtland,...

Or doesn't it bother anybody in here that Joseph Smith is charged with treason, then murdered, for doing something that when his ENEMIES did it, with considerably more damage done, those enemies were actually rewarded for doing so? This paragraph is problematic. And I hate when people break things ...

Would I be classed as an "anti-Mormon" and an "anti-Missourian" because I blamed both sides for what happened? I don't know what anybody ELSE does. I call an anti an 'anti,' not because of WHAT is criticized, but HOW it is criticized. As to the issue of blame, I have a real prob...

It's not a refusal. I HAVE read all the posts. I answered them, didn't I? I don't know what you are referring to and it's not unreasonable for me to ask you to clarify/be specific. You obviously haven't read them, because you are asking for something for which the answer is right there in black and...

20-30 years ago, "Anti-Mormon" was someone who claimed the Joseph Smith was a money digger, married teen aged girls and women who were already married, plagiarized the temple ceremony from the Masons had an affair with Fanny Alger, was part of a massive fraudulent banking scheme in Kirtla...
