Guest Starsky Posted February 1, 2004 Report Posted February 1, 2004 Sorry ...CAl messed this up royal...
Cal Posted February 1, 2004 Report Posted February 1, 2004 Who is this, Peace? 1) With a facination with rocks and minerals, he tried to con his neigbors into paying him to find hidden treasure, which he knew didn't exist, as he confessed such to his father in law. 2) Made up printing plates to make counterfit money, and organized a bank against state laws in order to hold the money. 3)As an adult he talked some of his best friends into letting him marry their teenage daughters. 4) Covered up his many polygamous affairs, and then burned down the press building when the owners threatened to write about it all in the their newspaper. 5) Claimed to be able to translate Egyptian characters, when no one else could. Later, when Egyptian was understood, it was discovered none of his character translations were accurate. 6) Sent missionaries away to England, and then married their wives when they were gone. SO--who is this person? Answer: Joseph Smith
Guest Starsky Posted February 1, 2004 Report Posted February 1, 2004 That is according to anti mormon history buffs.... There are hundreds, if not thousands of testimonies from close friends, neighbors and co-leaders who will tell you that what you have printed out is not truth, but slander at it's worst. There are two sides to every story....you just have found the worst possible. And do we know what was in the hearts of those who wrote these things?
Cal Posted February 1, 2004 Report Posted February 1, 2004 Peace--you don't have to take my word for it. Read the court records of the time--JS was convicted on the charges of conning his neighbors in his treasure hunting scheme. As to the rest--it's all well documented. Just do a little research of your own.

Court records LOL!Do you know how many people are put in jail daily...yearly....who are totally innocent?Get real...quit leaning to your own understanding and try and get a higher level of reception ...called the Spirit.
Cal Posted February 1, 2004 Report Posted February 1, 2004 Even church apologists admit that JS hunted for buried treasure and tried to get paid for doing it. The problem with tuning in to your "Spirit" to get information, is that everyone seems to land on a different frequency or channel. And they all seem to give a different version of the 'truth'. Very unreliable way to sort out fact from fiction.

It is also a fact that a perspective of any action can make that action into something evil or good.The only perspective I am interested in is the perspective of God.Men are too biased according to their own wants and needs...like you for instance...You have some real guilt issues driving you.
Guest Starsky Posted February 1, 2004 Report Posted February 1, 2004 NOw...you ######...I am going to repost this topic so that the issue at hand can be discussed, instead of your junky way of thinking.
Cal Posted February 1, 2004 Report Posted February 1, 2004 It is always obvious when someone has no rational response. They resort to insults.
Guest Starsky Posted February 1, 2004 Report Posted February 1, 2004 Take a look at your post below the posted topic. Obviously you are referring to yourself here.
Jenda Posted February 2, 2004 Report Posted February 2, 2004 I am closing this topic. If you want to restart it on a more positive note, be my guest.
