What the Mormons DO NOT Want YOU To Know!
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as "The Mormon Church" wants you and your family to join their church. But they won't tell you the WHOLE story! The won't share with you the following FACTS:
1*Joseph Smith boasted that he had done greater works than Paul or Jesus.
2*Joseph Smith prophesied, twice, that Christ was returning in the year 1891. How many failed prophecies that a true prophet can have?
3*Joseph Smith prophesied that a Mormon Temple would be built in Jackson County Missouri BEFORE all those living in 1832 were dead. There has never been any Mormon Temple in Jackson County Missouri as of 2011, and there are currently no plans for any. All those living in 1832 are long dead. Yet another failed prophecy of Joseph Smith.
4*Joseph Smith had up to 32 polygamous wives: including two sets of mothers and daughters, a 14 year old girl, and his own foster daughters (the Lawrence sisters).
5*Joseph Smith publicly condemned polygamy and denied he had more than one wife at a time when he had up to 32 plural wives: 11 of which were the wives of other living men.
6*The Book of Mormon claims that the ancient Americans had oxen, asses (donkies), sheep, and cattle (cows), but archaeologists declare none of these animals ever existed in the Americas until they were brought over by the Spanish, French, and English in the 16th century.
6*The Book of Mormon claims that the Lamanites ("lay-man-nights"), or American Indians, are the descendants of Lehi (lee-high) the Jew and Ishmael the Arab, yet DNA testing shows that American Indians are related to Siberian peoples and have absolutely NO (zero) Semitic ancestry. None whatsoever.
7*The Book of Mormon teaches that the reason why American Indians ("Lamanites") have red skin is because God cursed them "with a skin of blackness" so that white people would not inter-marry with them and thus inherit their "filthy" mannerisms.
8*The Book of Mormon teaches there is only one God, that salvation is by grace, that Hell is "unending" and condemns "secret combinations" including secret oaths; all of which contradicts Mormonism. The Book of Mormon makes no mention at all of men becoming gods, a Heavenly Mother, salvation for the dead, baptism for the dead, eternal marriage, degrees of salvation, or secret temple rites in order to get to the highest heaven; which are all part of Mormonism.
9*From 1848 until 1978, the Mormon Church banned all "Negroes" from all Mormon Temples and the Mormon priesthood, because they were considered to be the "cursed children of Cain" and that Cain was a white man until he killed Abel, then God changed him into the first Negro, and he married his sister and God changed her into the second Negro. This was called "The Curse of Cain Doctrine". After threats from the U.S. Government to cancel the Church's tax-exempt status in 1978 (with no tax-exempt status the Church would lose billions a year), the Mormon Church president had a "Revelation" allowing black Mormons into their temples and priesthood. The Church now (2011) declares it "never taught" that blacks were the cursed children of Cain (this is called: "The Curse of Cain Cover-Up"). Before June 8th 1978, the Mormon Church leaders taught that at best "Negroes" can become servants of white Mormons in the Celestial Kingdom (highest heaven) because they were the cursed children of Cain and were "banned" from the temples and priesthood (called "The Priesthood-ban").
*10 Although The Book of Mormon teaches that Mary was a "virgin" both before and after Jesus was born, and that Jesus was conceived "by the power of the Holy Ghost", many Mormon leaders have taught that God the Father is an Exalted White Man who "stepped down" from His throne and "joined" with his spirit-daughter Mary (who was also his wife) and "begot" Jesus in the exact same way a mortal man begets a mortal son. Many older Mormon men believe that when they become Gods they will create their own planets, and have many wives and spirit-children, and they will "go down" and literally/physically "beget" saviors with their most beautiful spirit-daughters in the same way and manner that God the Father did with his spirit-daughter-wife Mary. Most younger Mormons have never been taught this. This "Doctrine of Heavenly Incest" has not been openly taught by Mormon leaders since 1972.
11*Mormons believe they will become Gods and Goddesses, and create their own planets, and have spirit-children; this "Exaltation" being a reward for being faithful members of the Mormon Church, and upon going through a secret Masonic-like ritual called "The Endowment Ceremony" where Mormons are taught secret words and hand-shakes they believe they will give to Angels after death that will lead them to the Celestial Kingdom. These secret hand-shakes come directly from York Rite Freemasonry. The Endowment Ceremony has been changed dramatically many times. Masonic-like penalties (symbolic movements representing the slashing of thoats, cutting out of hearts, and dis-embowelment) and the "five points of fellowship" (also from York Rite Masonry) as well as a Protestant Minister playing the role of a hirling of Lucifer were removed from the Endowment in 1990 by Mormon leaders (without explanation). There is no nudity nor "blood oaths" nor immorality in Mormon temples, and there are also no "oaths to Lucifer" in Mormon Temples as some have falsely reported.
12*Brigham Young, the second President of the LDS Church, taught that the law of God for inter-racial couples was "death on the spot" and "this will always be so" and that the children of such unions should also be killed.
13*While Church president, Brigham Young owned tobacco farms, a beer hall, whiskey distilleries, and rented some of his homes in Salt Lake City out as brothels. He died in 1877 one of the wealthiest men in America. He had up to 27 wives and 56 children.
14*Brigham Young taught that the Blood of Jesus does not cover all sins, but that thieves, adulterers, blasphemers, counterfeiters, sex or marriage with a "Negro", and apostates (those leaving the Mormon Church) had to have their throats cut from ear-to-ear and their blood spill on the ground for them to enter Heaven. This was called the "Doctrine of Blood Atonement".
15*John Taylor, the third president of the Mormon Church, taught twice that "Negroes" were the representatives of Satan upon earth.
16*Joseph Fielding Smith, the 10th president of the Mormon Church, taught in 1930 that Cain became "the father of an inferior race" and that the black skin of "Negroes" was "emblematic of eternal darkness". He also taught in 1962 that men would never land on the Moon.
17* In 1890 the U.S. Government threatened to confescate the private property of Mormon polygamists (all Mormon leaders), and then the Mormon Church President issued a "Manifesto" claiming to end plural marriages in the Utah Territory, but history shows that Church-approved plural marriages continued in secret long after the Manifesto.
18*Joseph Smith claimed to have translated "The Book of Abraham--Written by the Hand of Abraham" from some old Egyptian papyrus he had bought, but in 1967 the ancient papyrus was found and discovered to be a first century A.D. pagan Egyptian document called "The Breathing Permit of Horus" that has nothing at all to do with Abraham.
19*Many of the neighbors and childhood friends of Joseph Smith later wrote letters or swore in affidavits that Joseph Smith used to fool farmers out of their money by pretending to see buried treasure on their property with a "peep stone". Joseph Smith was arrested twice for being a "juggler" (a 19th century Yankee term meaning "con-man"). He was never convicted was "warned" to get out of town and not use his peep-stone to fool ignorant people again. Joseph Smith later claimed to find the "gold plates" with his peepstone which later become "The Book of Mormon". The Angel Moroni (more-row-nai) later "took back" the gold plates to heaven--depriving us any proof of their existence.
20*Many of the friends and neighbors of one Rev. Solomon Spaulding wrote letters and swore in affidavits that "The Book of Mormon" was based upon one of the novels of Solomon Spaulding (who died in 1816) titled "Manuscript Found in the Wilds of Mormon" which they claim was written in the same style as the Bible and included so many "And it came to pass" phrases that they referred to Solomon Spaulding after he died as "Old Came to Pass". A novel discovered in 1901 titled "Manuscript Found at Conneaut Creek" was not the source of The Book of Mormon, but was an earlier novel Spaulding had written. He was struggling financially, and wrote novels as a way to make MORe MONey.
21*From 1980 to 1985, a Mormon man named Mark Hofmann (who was a secret atheist) forged hundreds of documents in his basement in order to "fool" Mormon leaders (who are believed to be Prophets and to have "The Spirit of Discernment" whereby to try to fool them would be like trying to fool God--it can't happen). Hofmann sold many of these forged documents to Mormon leaders, who accepted them and him as genuine and hid the most damaging documents in their then-secret Vault. Later, he killed two innocent people in order to hide his deception. He later confessed to forgery and murder. You can read more about this by going to ww.google.com and typing in "Mark Hofmann". WHERE WAS THE "DISCERNMENT" OF Mormon LEADERS? The Church taught these men cannot be fooled, but yet they were "fooled" dozens of times over a five year period!
22*The 15 told leaders of the Mormon Church are called "The Brethren". Mormons are told from birth that these 15 men are Prophets~Seers~Revelators, yet none of these men actually prophesy, or see visions, or receive "Thus Saith the Lord" Revelations. They are "prophets" who don't prophesy, "seers" who don't see, and "revelators" who don't revelate. They are "prophets" in name only. Mormons believe that by blindly following "The Brethren" they will be "Exalted" in the Celestial Kingdom where they will become Gods and Goddesses and create their own planets and rule over them for eternity.

I will over the next decades (however long I live) be distributing these tracts for FREE to various churches. The tract will NOT be copyrighted, and churches will be encouraged to make copies of the tract and distribute them to their members.
Why? Because, for over a decades I tried to DEFEND the Mormons and Mormon leaders. I was a FOOL! I defended people who dispised me because I was poor and because I did not "think" like them (i.e. I was not a selfish hypocrite like them). I sacrificed many years and money to defend the Church, while the Church itself was accusing me of "trying to make money off the Church" (a false accusation) and Mormons accused me of everything under the Sun except murder! I realize I was a DEEP FOOL, and that Mormonism is a LIE. Therefore, I will oppose it to my very last dying breath. My "contribution" to exposing Mormonism may be small, but it is all I can do. "By their fruits ye shall now them" and I came to know the Mormons. Their "fruits" are bad. Lying. Hypocrisy. False accusations. They are closer to the followers of Lucifer than the followers of Christ. True, 10% of Mormons are pure-in-heart, but the rest are not. They must be opposed.
