In the decades I've attended Mormon churches, I've never once heard the word "polygamy" inside the buildings. Mormons teach their kids the following: [i]Joseph Smith prayed to god asking which church was true. God told him that none were true, and to start his own church. Like Jesus, people did not want to listen to him. Joseph Smith died as a martyr. [/i] SOURCE: Grew up Mormon- most of my family is still active. [/quote] Billy, Thats just effing Crazy to me? They lose me at The angel Moroni gave him golden tablets in the N.Y. woods? wtf? Plus they were all Stone seers or some shit like that. Bizzaro Scientology stuff. imho [/quote]

Turns out as they were moving from N.Y. headed west
At one city (Nauvoo, IL) Joseph was like a town leader and he told his followers that much like Moses in the promised land. They (Mormons) were the CHOSEN people and were destined to OWN the land? Part of his "United order." WUT>>?? YES apparently he was that blatant.
Can you imagine some blow hole rolls into the city you live in and you find out he is saying HIS PEOPLE are destined for THE LAND YOU LIVE ON? Much like Moses and Elijah. Yeah, Well thats what he did.
To add insult to injury and what got him and the brother killed was apparently a newspaper in Nauvoo was started to specifically criticize polygamy and the Mormon problem. In fact that was their first issue >>> criticizing them <<<. Joseph was a city councilman and he actually called for the destruction of the press AND the building???? HELLO and he even declared Marshall (spelled wrong just to piss off GLP grammar nazis) Law.
OK. Duh.. what a jerk!! Add to that him finding a couple golden tablets in a N.Y. forest with the angel MORONi and youve got the makings of an extraordinary cult.
I dont get it! I dont get all the Mormon practitioners with a documented history like they have?
