” Joey Smith got himself killed by angry men he had abused..”
Wrong, Joseph Smith “abused” angry men by teaching the truth, they couldn’t handle the truth, and in their jealous rages, murdered he and two other good men. Interesting that anger comes from the Devil, as does dis-obeying the Law of God, as revealed in the Ten Commandments. If those men were “abused” being the good Christians they professed to be, they should have turned the other cheek. Yea, spilling innocent blood, men who were in a prison, being protected by armed guards, yea, those poor abused angry men .... I feel their pain...... NOT
You don’t know much about what really happened do you? Smith was threatening and tried to kill William Law and Sidney Rigdon for exposing his practice of polygamy after he publicly denied it.
Smith died in a gunfight, not as a martyr. Martyrs don’t fight back.
Regarding your comment : “Interesting that anger comes from the Devil” again that is a lie Mormon leaders tell the membership. Jesus got angry, if anger (or even uncomfortable feelings) only comes from the devil then Jesus sinned and Christians know He never sinned.
ROFL. Smith was FAR FAR from innocent. I do not condone his lynching, however it is not as the LDS paint it - a martyrdom of an innocent man.
The truth is out there if you really want it.

So are you saying that the 10 Commandments of the Judeo-Christians are one big lie ???
Joey Smith got himself killed by angry men he had abused..
Lets see now ...heres some of them
1. There were the men Joey Smith had robbed and ripped off
2. There were the men who were Fremasons who objected to Joey Smith abusing their secret rituals for his own gain and glory
3. There were the men who were the husbands brothers and fathers of the young women Joey Smith had seduced and committed adultery with..
4. There were the men who owned the private newspaper office and printer that Joey Smith had destroyed..
5. There were the men who lived in Nauvoo who objected to their Constitutional rights being violated when the corrupt politician Joey Smith called out his private army and decleared martial law and shut the town down..
6. There were the men who were members of Joey Smiths religion that objected to him being a controlling theocratic dictator and crowning himself king of the world and trying to take everything they had and running their lives..
7. There were the men who had given up everything and followed Joey Smith to Nauvoo to find that he was just a low class theiving criminal who couldnt stay out of jail of other mens bedfrooms...
Take your pick...
after Joey Smith shot his own brother in the back and murdered 2 men outside, he was put down like the rabid dog he was..
Which group shot back and gave him justice in the death penalty doesnt really matter...
It was ultimately The LORD Jesus Christ who destroyed him...
God got rid of the atheist Joey Smith one month after Joey Smith had boasted he was greater than Jesus...
God does get angry at His enemies..
