The above story -- and these two stories -- all just within one week's time:

BYU grad, Ex-LDS missionary arrested: Arrest made in LDS church fires in South Salt Lake

LDS Teens Arrested: LDS Church Vandalized

I have decided to post the obligatory - so what?, before anyone else.
(Ok, the so what? I'll answer that. Kids are kids, they do stupid things....a lot. However lds, especially those on FR, seem to think that their kids never do anything wrong or juvenile. That somehow lds kids are above the "stupid animal tricks" of other young people or that the pressure of being "perfect" as dictated by lds leaders doesn't contribute to the shenanigans. )

Were Christians blamed before the mormons were caught ???

(Lds are starting to redefine the word fire works...and hey, why not? They redefine almost every other word)

No wonder Joseph Smith repeatedly said Lds were going to place he called "everlasting burnings"

I would say of all the teachings that was most horrific about what Smith taught, the following, which he "broke out" late in his life...was the topper...1844:
"...you have got to learn how to be Gods yourselves...going from one small degree to another, and from a small capacity to a great one...from exaltation to exaltation, until you...are able to dwell... (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pp. 346-347)

Well, "until you...are able to dwell" where?
WHERE were the "ghost-lights" -- the demon-lights of Smith telling him where he & his followers would dwell???
The answer is right there on p. 347 of Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith:
"until you...are able to dwell in everlasting burnings."
"The spirits...are blessed in their departure to the world of spirits."
"Enveloped in flaming fire, they are not far from us..."
Whoaaa.

Smith must have felt the guilt gnawing at him from no assurance of forgiveness of sins; but he wouldn't let go of his "everlasting burnings" teaching late in life: "Those who have done wrong ALWAYS have that wrong gnawing them. Immortality dwells in everlasting burnings." (ToPJS, p. 367)

These spirits craving their own "immortality" as false gods wouldn't let go of Smith...
...and actually occasionally told him the truth...
...as they did about "everlasting burnings"... and "enveloped in flaming fire"
...They had the last laugh at Smith's -- and his followers' -- expense.

Make no mistake, Mormons. There's a fiery everlasting pain that accompanies outer darkness. The longevity words in the Book of Mormon used to describe heaven ("everlasting," "eternal") are also used to describe hell in the Book of Mormon. However long heaven; the BoM characters concluded "ditto" about hell.
