We express profound regret for the massacre carried out in this valley 150 years ago today, and for the undue and untold suffering experienced by the victims then and by their relatives to the present time,” Elder Eyring said.
__________________________________________
“express profound regret” for what ???
That the world knows ???
The embarrassment ???
The bad PR ???
That the 17 children who survived and were kidnapped by the mormons for two years until a large ransom of $10,000 was paid to Briggy Young, werent murdered too so they could not tell ???
No real WE ARE SORRY...
as one of the comments reads “The word “apology” only appears in the title of the article”
amd also the statement was not by the “president/prophet” of the mormons but by a Robert Gibbs type...
Last century Gov. Bond of Missouri apologized to Mormons for “Extermination Order.”
Illinois apologized to Mormons for abuses heaped on them by the State.
In both cases Mormons accepted the apology as rendered.
I simply responded to #7 that in fact an apology was issued by the Mormons It was. Period.
What exactly makes this massacre site “sacred ground” to the mormon church, since it wasn’t mormons who were massacred?

Head exploder isnt it ???
and yet the mormons wont let the victims families have uncontrolled access to the cemetery of their loved ones...
Its a sick situation...
For what reason did the mormons even bother to pay lipservice and deliver that pseudo “apology”???
I find you and a few others here quite amusing. I simply stated an apology was rendered. It was.
Was it sincere? Was Gov. Bond’s apology? The State of Illinois? Was Bill Clinton’s apology to Africa sincere?
Have you hugged a Mormon today?
Anti-Mormon legend has it that when the Elders caught Joe smoking and drinking,
__________________________________________
Why would that be an “anti-mormon legend” ???
The mormons smoked and drank during that time...
Both Joey Smith and Briggy Young sold liquer to their followers...
Both had dances and parties...
Smith had a bar in his hotel...
Briggy Young cheated one of his followers out of a successful brewery and made it even larger...
Young preached that he didnt smoke but he never ordered the mormons not to..he just said he didnt..
So why is there scant commentary in your various posts about J. Smith’s time in Hickory Grove, Penn?
Let me re-phrase that....Why is so little written about that period of time? Circa 1820-25. A very interesting period in American History.
Much of the land near Hickory Grove was granted to vets of War of 1812. 160 acres each (IIRC)in “wilderness” of Penn.
Was Gov. Bond’s apology?
______________________________________
What did Bond need to apologize about ???
The mormons were murdering and kidnapping women and stealing from the citizens in MO..
They were causing riots and controlling the voting booths...
Gov Boggs told them to quit it or leave...if they didnt quit it and they wouldnt leave, they would be made to leave...
Gov Boggs had a responsibility to protect the citizens of his state...
Joey Smith wrote about the crimes the mormons were committing in Kirkland OH and it was the same in MO and said that the mormon god was not pleased with the mormons..
D&C 98:18-19: “Behold...am not well pleased with many who are in the church at Kirtland; For they do not forsake their sins, and their wicked ways, the pride of their hearts, and their covetousness, and all their detestable things...”
D&C 50:4 — what Smith told the LDS church at Kirtland in May, 1831: “Behold...have looked upon you, and have seen abominations in the church that profess my name...”
“...the inhabitants of Zion are terrible...” (D&C 45:70)
Also, Smith said that the affliction, persecution and being cast out of the land of inheritance (D&C 101:1)
was because God “suffered the affliction to come upon them, wherewith they have been afflicted, in consequence of their transgressions...” (D&C 101:2)
Have you hugged a Mormon today?

Even better...
I’ve warned them about their false religion...
How about you ???
There you go again, using lds words.......you know how that upsets them.
Did a Mormon once cut you off in traffic or what?
In years past, yes, I have hugged a Mormon. Try it sometime. Or is/was that the problem?
Not all heroes wear tights and a cape...
The mormons are ghouls...and still involved in a cover up...
When those investigators examined some of the skulls etc they found bullet holes from guns...shot at close range...even tiny babies...
The Paiutes had bows and arrows...only the white mormons had guns..
When that was announced the investigations were stopped by the mormons with no reasonable explanation...
Good maybe they’ll move far away from the rest for their upset and towards Jesus...
I’ve hugged a man with AIDS...
Try it some time...
If there’s no Land of Oz maybe there’s no Dorothy, Tin Man,
etc. As Jesus said, ‘He that is faithful in least is faithful in much’.
Is that what happened to you ???
A Christian cut you off in traffic ???
You appear to be continually attempting to bait me, a Christian...
Now why would you be doing that if you were a habitual hugger of Christians ???
Was he a Mormon?
