L Ron Hubbard makes more sense than Joseph Smiths book of mormon.
“Many Mormons need to learn their own history”
Yes, Glenn Beck is so darn stupid; he doesn’t understand anything about history. Poor Glenn.
They can depend on the lack of historical curiosity of the American public. In the 1880s, the Government came close to shutting down the Church in Utah. But who wonders why? No just because of polygamy, but because of the political power of the Church.
He may know but he is not telling.
That would be a Mormon response.
Of course I can fly to Rome, Egypt or the Holy Land...
I don’t understand post #65
I know...
Please let me know.
"Book of Moses has only 8 "known" chapters" I'm talking First Book of Moses.

Exodus 34:27 “And the Lord said to Moses, ‘Write down all these instructions, for they represents the terms of my covenant with you and with Israel.’”
Exodus = 2nd Book of Moses.
Congratulations Sandy, you finally got one right.
Why no, Ma'am; FR is NOT a good place to be learn the things we want you to know about MORMONism.
You know, I believe in freedom of religion as much as the next guy, but if Romney does run, arent the Dems going to make hay out of planet Kolob and the magic binoculars?
I like the story on how ol' Joe got a hold of the original Book of Abraham. Apparently some carnival event with an Egyptian mummy exhibit was traveling by and the exhibitor was compelled to sell to Joe the only known document in existence from the very hand of Abraham.
I wonder if Joe also bought the original Magna Carta and Code of Hammurabi then for the price of a bottle of snake oil.
The problem comes with any church saying they are the ONLY TRUE CHURCH. That is what all cults have in common.
Speak louder, I can't hear you over the voice of the Apostle Paul - who, apparently in your estimation, is a Cultist.
Galatians 1:6-9 I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.
So why should anyone heed your opinion?
JESUS: Hey Smith! Remember that boast you made about doing more than even I had done to hold the 'church' together?
JOSEPH SMITH: Where am I?
JESUS: Don't you remember? A few seconds ago you were in that jail.
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh; yeah; but where am I NOW?
JESUS: Don't you remember? Does bang - bang ring a bell?
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh; yeah - that crummy gun I had was about USELESS!
JESUS: I hope you left instructions on how to hold your church together.
JOSEPH SMITH: Dang! I knew there was SOMETHING I was forgetting!
JESUS: Looks like there's a power struggle going on down there.
JOSEPH SMITH: Yeah; there was always SOMEone who wanted the power that I held - especially over the LADIES - wink wink.
JESUS: No need to worry about that now; remember what my friend Matthew wrote down?
JOSEPH SMITH: This? At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven (Matthew 22:30)
JESUS: That's it.
JOSEPH SMITH: I thought that was mistranslated.
JESUS: Nah - it was right.
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh well; it was fun while it lasted. My buds will still get it on with the girls.
JESUS: Uh; I'm sorry; in just a few more years; your followers will cavein to the United States government and abandon the 'Eternal Covenant' that you came up with.
JOSEPH SMITH: ME!? YOU are the one that told me to do that!
JESUS: Sorry; but you must have mistranslated what I told you. What part of Do NOT commit ADULTERY did you not understand?
JOSEPH SMITH: mumble....
JESUS: What did you say?
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh, nothing.
JESUS: Well; it was interesting talking to you; but now I must get back to perparing a place for those who believe in Me.
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh, yeah; the Celestial Kingdom.
JESUS: No...
JOSEPH SMITH: The Telestial one?
JESUS: Nope.
JOSEPH SMITH: SUREly not the TERRESTRIAL one!!
JESUS: Nope. Didn't you read that the mind of man had NOT conceived of it? Paul wrote it down in 1 Corinthians 2:9.
JOSEPH SMITH: I thought that was mistranslated.
JESUS: No; it wasn't.
JOSEPH SMITH: You SURE?
JESUS: Yes. Now I must be going: what did you say your name was again?
JOSEPH SMITH: Joseph Smith.
JESUS: Hmmmm. According to my Heavenly FAITHbook, you didn't sign in as one of my friends - sorry, I never knew you.
JOSEPH SMITH: But....

I guess a 'false cult' would be one who shares the TRUTH!
A 'true cult' would be one that spews LIES!
Very TRUE!
And...
Many CHRISTIANS need to learn their own history as well!
