So you deny that your founder Joseph Smith was a convicted felon?

(Not only that, but Smith died in a jail shootout, having two loaded weapons he was firing when they shot this criminal element...he shot others in that process...perhaps including his brother, Hyrum)

Hyrum died from a bullet from the front...but he also had an unexplained wound on his backside...and the jail was on an upper story...

Smith was a dangerous character...
...Even to his brother...
...To his associates' wives (stole 11 of them while they were still married to their husbands)...
...To the peace of Nauvoo (as Mayor, he ordered the destruction of a printing press via his hundreds of mobocrats on the loose)...
...To the citizens of Illinois (ran the largest militia in the state)
...To the governor of Missouri (Boggs had an assassination attempt on his life -- linked to Smith's bodyguard, Porter Rockwell, who was arrested for the crime)
...To the citizens of Kirtland, Ohio (Smith slipped out of town in the middle of the night after a bank ownership failing there)

I'm telling you, if the Mormon Public Relations operation was as good in the 1820s through 1840s as it is now, Smith couldn't have even been hired by Lds, Inc. as a professional rockhound!

I'm prepared to wait for my answer until Hell freezes over if necessary.
