The one in the white lab coat has the same interest!
But I believe that her's involves a taste test.
Did you know, Bert, that Joseph Smith went down in a gun battle??? (Did your tour hosts forget to mention that wee little fact???)
He used up one gun -- and had another loaded gun...
Are you consistent then?
If a prisoner were to today -- in your local jail -- get ahold of two loaded weapons...and he was to die in proximity to 200 armed men (non-prisoners)...all as he fires at least 6 shots...that's not a gun battle either...just because the ratio is 200:1?
Whatever your squeamishness about it, ya gotta understand it that it's usually portrayed as a martyrdom. I'm sorry, but sacrificial lambs don't go down shooting & killing people as did Joseph Smith.
When "others" are attempting to take over the position of POTUS, it damn sure IS my business...or do you think it's not YOUR business what Obama believes?
[The whole poking at the Planet Kolob seems a little underhanded ]
It’s a religious FRAUD in the context of a religious concoction that is RIDDLED with fraud.
Just like the other Islam.

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....
“Travesty....... your trash uses up all the band width of my monthly payment.
If you would cease the Mormon trash, the Freepathon would end early
Nobody reads the multocolored crap you post”
Yes, smith was murdered - but you leave out the 'rest of the story' don't you. Why was he jailed? He was jailed because he illegally ordered the destruction of a newspaper that exposed his polygamy and other less religious dealings as the 'general' of Nauvoo. Now how "tolerant" was that bert? smith also sent his danite raiders out to harass and kill those who left the mormon church in light of his extravagant living and dictatorial leadership - sounds real tolerant as well eh bert? Nauvoo was a dictatorship, nothing less, by smith. His jailing for treason was just the tip of the iceberg.
And since you mentioned scouting - until 1978 black boys in lds sponsored boy scout troops were not allowed to hold positions of leadership in the troop, such as patrol leader, sr. patrol leader, etc simply because they were black. How outstanding was that bert, wonderful contribution huh.
Finally, much of that 'westward movement' though interesting has been severly whitewashed. Gone is young's boondoggle 'handcart' escapade where he forced them to buy cheaply made carts and participate in poorly organized groups by "god's direction" as the prophet. Or his direction to slaughter a wagon train passing through southern Utah headed for Oregon as well as harassing several others.
Excellent people - right - as how nice they were to the flds who asked them for books of mormon a couple of years ago.
The Avatar of MORMONism?
The Zoot Suit of MORMONism?
Not even TRAYVON was 'murdered'.
JS had a GUN!!
He was jailed because he illegally ordered the destruction of a newspaper that exposed his polygamy and other less religious dealings as the 'general' of Nauvoo.
Bump for later ............................ FRegards
blah blah yadayada lielie......
Christian Taliban in action, continuing to deny the blood of Mormans on their hands, continuing to deface and defame Free republic with endless streams of vociferous drivel.
Spoken like a true liberal with the intelligence of a gnat.
Tell that to the families of the MMM.
