SEPTEMBER DAWN: Dean Cain as Joseph Smith

had

I thought Smith has dirty blonde hair.

This is a very inaccurate portrayal of the events at Carthage Jail... lol

Dean Cain doesn't even look like Joseph Smith.LOL

yeah alba.....

It took much more than that. I defended Mormonism for years, and it just does not stand up to scrutiny. All answers depend on avoidance and obfuscation.

Also, the gun was denied by official church sources for decades until it could no longer be denied. Now it's "so what"? That's called minimization.

So Alba, are you an apologist? You have doubts, don't you? That's why you try to find answers, but they are not satisfying - even to you?

Good luck. Leaving is not easy. But it's worth it.

If the Church denied the gun until recently then why was it in B.H. Robert's "History of the Church" which has been around since nearly the beginning? It was never hidden, it it was it would have never been published anywhere.

If I am an apologist it is all on my own. I have no connection with the Church in any capacity other than an ordinary member.

Any doubts or questions I have are in regards to everything including the Church. It is natural to be inquistive and to re-examine your positions.

To be totally honest, of everything I have read or been told about the Church, NOTHING has ever been presented to me that I could not either debunk or to find the logical flaws. After awhile I just quit reading that stuff because it just irritated me that people could still bring up the same lame arguements.

I'm not leaving the Church.

No, they didn't leave the gun out on purpose. I am LDS and YES, I know he has a gun. I live in the UK and I am aware the gun were mentioned in Ensign, and also at tyhe museum in Salt Lake. So, nothing to hide really. If there's something missing in the film, I wouldn't quit church because of a movie nitpick. It's just A MOVIE.

As far as the idea of the church trying to create the noble death of Joseph Smith, you have to take into account that if they were trying to cover up the fact that he did use a gun then why is it on display at the church history museum in SLC? and it is clearly labeled as the gun he used in trying to escape. Even if you go to Carthage Jail where it took place an entire account both pro and con are given. one cannot simply watch a movie and form a judgment based on its content. it requires study.
