there were like 4 different versions he said, all were roughly the same but slightly different descriptors were used in one of them, and the modern church zeroed in on it and decided, "THAT is what Joseph saw!"
and what did his journal say
so he was a nut
it's called the Joseph Smith Papers, you can just google it even
why would i even bother
but off the top of my head, it said the gods appeared to him in a pillar of flame, old testament style, not a pillar of light like the LDS say
just a small detail really, I could reread it again
I actually believe Joseph Smith entirely - to the point that I am forced to disbelieve my church
which is rather ironic
why have you not taken control of the cult you are apart of yet? @Exilarch
Are you an atheist @Parasite
well, because I do not believe it works like that
sounds like your local church is full of dummies
and you are the smart one
they all are, I move all over the country and go to mormon churches while I travel
it's not like it is a local phenomenon
no i am not atheist
it's systemic
ahhh
following the chain of command?
most of them have barely studied the book of mormon at all, much less read all of it
even fewer of them have actually read the entire 4 books we believe in
bible, book of mormon, doctrine & covenants, pearl of great price
anyone who remotely believes in the Joseph Smith story is fair game
channel their false spiritual energy into a brighter future
move these people man
there are huge volumes of writing by brigham young and people high in the church, quite well documented, something like 8000 pages of it. The number of mormons who even KNOW about it is so small that it rounds to zero
has the alt right pagan-christian split been resolved yet?
i saw that there was such a thing
the number of people who actually read it all... well, let's put it this way, if I actually read it all, I might literally be the only one
if I did that, I might be literally the most studied mormon on the face of the whole earth
so do it
I am, it's just a lot of material
it'll take years to finish
but I'm getting demoralized
well bring people with your interpretation
I'd like to
bring them to the white light of Aryanism
Brigham Young unambiguously stated that nordic people were God's chosen race
i honestly figured you best as a cult leader.
