MORMONS

JUST THINK ABOUT IT

~Why is it okay for Smith to practice polygamy but not Jeffs?

~Why is it okay for the Church to leave the teachings of D&C 132 in their writings if they dont believe in it anymore?

~Jeffs is accused of arranging marriages of young girls to much older men who are practicing polygamy. This is obviously against the law; however, Joseph Smith did the same thing.

~Jeffs was also accused of unlawful flight from the police. Smith went from Palmyra, to Missouri, then Ohio and to Nauvoo. After Smiths death the church then fled to Utah after being persecuted by the town.




To reiterate my point to all this; what is the difference between what Jeffs has done in 2006 and what Smith did in the 1800s? The Church is always telling its members to live their religion and to obey so that they will go to heaven. Seems to me that Jeffs was just living his religion. According to D&C 132:4 it says youll be damned if you dont obey. For behold, I reveal unto you a new and an everlasting covenant; and if ye abide not that covenant, then are ye damned; for no one can reject this covenant and be permitted to enter into my glory.

Bruce McConkie said this in Mormon Doctrine, pg. 118; Celestial marriage is a holy and an eternal ordinance; as an order of the priesthood, it has the name the new and everlasting covenant of marriage. Adam was the first one on this earth to enter into this type of union, and it has been the Lord's order in all ages when the fulness of the gospel has been on earth.

Whenever I receive e-mails or calls from Mormons they always make sure to tell me that they do good works for the Lord and proof of their Christianity are their good works they will then quote Matthew 7:20 which says Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

My answer to that is youre absolutely right! Take a good long look at Warren Jeffs, the product of Joseph Smiths righteous god. The people that lived 175 years ago didnt like the things the LDS Church stood for anymore than we do today.

I know that if youre a Mormon reading this, youre probably insulted. For this I can honestly say I wish it werent that way. I know that its offensive when you feel that you are the doctrines of Mormonism. I can also tell you that we dont publish these articles or bring to light news of the Church to bash you with it, or to antagonize. It has never been my intention, nor will it ever be that way for us here at Life After Ministries. We do however, want to encourage you to pick up the references we quote to take a look for yourself and know that we are always in prayer for you!

Joseph smith and Warren Jeffs used church to get laid..lmao

[MrNirom]

The way Joseph Smith practiced polygamy and the way Warren Jeffs practiced polygamy is not the same. Joseph did it with a much higher understanding of what it meant for people to be sealed together. How families could be sealed to families. Back then.. even men were sealed to men which is not a practice that is done anymore.. but Joseph had a much higer understanding. Of course when one does not believe that Joseph was a prophet.. you can compare him to anyone you like.

[theTruthNotLies]

MrNirom..tell me you are not serious!!! I see that you are a 52 years old man..maybe a father, or even a grandfather..would you let your daughter marry a man with 34 wives,Mr Joseph smith..or maybe Brigham young  with 54 wives..Sir..they were after sex...please try to search a little more about all the lies the cult is teaching you

[MrNirom]

Sex Sex Sex.. that is the only thing you can see. No one throws out Christianity because Moses or Abraham or Jacob or Solomon with his 700 wives and 300 concubines. But everyone gets their panties in an uproar because these women agreed to be the wives of these men. They could have married someone else. The women could have easily chosen a man with no wives as her husband. My daughters are adults and make their own decisions without my approval everyday. Do you control your children?

[theTruthNotLies]

Dude,if you want to compare the bible with the BOM , why dont you just follow what the bible says?You guys have a different God, a different Jesus...IN the 1800's polygamy was Illegal in the USA, and how can you compare Moses with joseph smith?? hahhahah The women married Joseph smith for fear...he told them OR YOU MARRY ME OR GOD WILL PUNISH YOU...what a great prophet he was..about the kids,sorry just have a son..hahahahha

[exmoagogo]

Mr Nirom, Omiolo, Canadianbacon, Backyardprofessor and Rommelator are all competing for the most obnoxious Mormon armchair defender on Youtube.

So far it's a tie between all of them. However, you can bet that if they go out with the missionaries they put on a nicey nice kissy kissy face for the unsuspecting slob taking the discussions.

[chacabenchaca]

"Sex Sex Sex" it was the only thing Joe Smith could think about when he wasnt pre occupied with thought of stealing MOReMONey or coming up another lie to cover the last lie he had told. "Sealed" to other men, an indication of Joe's Homosexuality more than anything else. Thanks for pointing out just how messed up Joe really was.

[IExposeMormonism]

truth of Mormonism is in a Mormon book!! on polygamy: "The Nauvoo Endowment Companies, a Documentary History" it tells of zillions of marriages performed After Joe took his dirt nap. Lucinda Morgan Harris, widow of William Morgan of "The Morgan Affair" (Search it, it's a important Freemason ritual murder)she married Joe for eternity and current husband Harris for time.After Joes death. B Young and John D Lee witnesses. Or Tholson, "Adam God Theory". He shows its critical Importance to Mormonism

[ohloody]

@theTruthNotLies Amen to that.

Joseph Smith robbed The Holy Bible's ideal ways of life and made it his.

The Bible is truely a good book to follow to live a peacful life.

J.S. took it and taught it to LOST people and added all this other junk to make himself and his followers some good money.

Mormons knock on doors like they're trying to sell Kirby vacuums. i aint buying that nephite junk. ITS A BUSINESS!!!

[KakkoiGuy1]

Yes. Smitty was a horn dog. However let us be careful not to bash LDS so that we may have good ground to sow the true Gospel of Jesus. Most of them were born into Mormonism so they know no better. Please be aware that they need the Biblical Jesus just like we did when we were lost.

[blueskunk12]

The difference is that everyone knows what Jeffs did, but the LDS Church tells everyone lies about Joseph Smith.

When I try telling Mormons what Joseph Smith was really like, none of them believe me.

[whackemwithit]

What i do not understand is why it is acceptable or even coveted for men to date and sleep with countless women some at the same time, but to actually want to take care of those women that one has had such intimate relations with is wrong. Where has our society gone no wonder gays think that heterosexuals have ruined the institution of marriage

[TGTeresa]

I think it's interesting that members of the FLDS will go to jail for what they believe in and the LDS just re-write the rules so they don't have to.

[sldeyo]

I just explained this yesterday to a lady. I wish i would have known about this vid earlier! oh well, I'll share anyway! :)

[johnmentia]

Do you often speak in the third person, Paul? Does that somehow give you more credibility?

[Dragonflykiss]

the only thing i will reference ((which should say enough)) polygamy was and is illegal in the US.....hmmmm i seem to recall a certain "Article of Faith... " number twelve... which states! "We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law."

[Dragonflykiss]

its funny and sad cause it s true. sadly, their is a group of people that buy into both FLDS and the modern day RLDS ((reformed)).
