Well, I haven’t ever been presented with that question before- in fact I’ve never had to answer questions about my Church before- but I know the answer, luckily. The Lord and Heavenly Father told him it wasn’t, and the reason he only mentions that one church at this moment is because his mother was a Presbyterian. He was breaking it to her that her church wasn’t the true one.
I can't help but wonder if the screen name "wildlybamboozled" is not tongue-in-cheek, and the more posts I see, the more it appears so.

Dear wildlybamboozled (and you are certainly that)
DUH...
no they didnt...
Joey Smith never identified the “two personages” as any such thing..
He just said one of the guys pointed to the other and said Yo this is my kid...Listen to him...
1. Who was the first “personage” ??? He is not identified...
2. So the second “personage” although supposedly a son of the first “personage” is not proven to be Jesus and is not named as such...
3. Listen to what ??? The kid played some cool Jazz or sumping ???
4. When people have a real visitation from God, they change their ways 180 degrees and dont go back to sheep stealing and womaning for the next few years like Joey Smith did..
5. God should have struck Joey Smith down for disobeying Him when Joey went straight out and joined one of the very churches that the “personage” had commanded him not to...
Dont both trying to reason away this logic...
Its for free...
Just take a deep breathe, a good swallow of coffee and for once in your life
THINK
And...
Just what did Joseph ‘learn’ to be UNTRUE about PRESBYTERIANism?”
Therein lies a problem, for thousands have been told something else.
There MUST be some way to find out the truth of the matter.
Has the LDS Organization, based in SLC ever published any data that would support JS' claim?
