I am afraid you will probably have to contact the Mormon organization in Salt Lake City for copies of those old publications — or the Library of Congress. I read these articles as a teenager when my mother had a subscription to this magazine. Over the years, boxes and boxes (and boxes) of papers and magazines of hers were thrown away. These magazines were of no value to me at the time but oh how I wish I had them now so people who think LDS is a very slightly weird Christian denomination could see that it is not, and make a better informed decision as to who to vote for, or not (which may very well be for Romney.) I fully understand the desire to get obama out no matter what! I just think we Christians should have full disclosure before we vote. We do need to consider the possibility of a “mormon caliphate.”
So, those magazines disappeared, along with Joseph Smith's golden plates? And the body of Christ? You put the argument forward; it is customary to support it with the writings.

Oh, please. That's nonsense and worse. The mormon and anti-mormon dialogue on this forum has convinced me that one organized religion is as silly as another.
We will know the truth, soon enough.
