Joseph Smith and his activities is the subject here not the Catholic church. What's amazing is your best defense of Joseph Smith is "look at all the bad Catholics" pfft. "Glass looking" a business what a laugh, it was a scam nothing more. As to Paul, at least he repented of his past Joseph Smith just moved on from cheating men out their money to cheating them out of their daughters and wives.
The only thing worse than a former Mormon attacking the LDS church is a catholic who attacks the LDS church while overlooking the negatives of their own church. And you fit this bill to a tee. The catholic taliban over on the catholic taliban site were infamous for this.
If you want to talk about what you hate about the Catholic churches' history and people then start a thread about that. You started this one to talk about how wonderful Joseph Smith is and when others don't agree you start throwing dirt at others.

"Or for that matter, any prophet before he got the calling"
Trouble with JoetheCoxman is what he used his power for after he built it up.
A sexual predator is just that whether the scum calls itself prophet of head of the IMF.

I know café from the catholic board. She made it a habit of calling me a hypocrite and a liar. She routinely attacked the LDS church on that board while ignoring the negatives of the catholic religion. And you are too far off the mark also.
I was banned from the catholic taliban board for defending the LDS church and for calling out the hypocrisy of catholics who bashed the LDS church over history and doctrine. And so anytime café mentions the LDS church in a negative way, she needs to own up to the history and problems in the catholic faith. No faith is perfect, nor are their leaders.
Well if you'd quit behaving like one the problem would solve itself. Nothing I said about the LDS church was anymore an "attack" than what you've said about the Catholic church and most of my posts there confronted posters like you. You see my posts there were simply calling out the hypocrisy of LDS posters who like you bash the Catholic church. You are the most hypocritical of the bunch.
Again about your being banned, for 3 years and 5000 posts you sang the same song and were not banned. You were banned because you lied, simple as that.

Re: I admire Joseph Smith.
why me wrote:Joseph married Emma Hale on January 18, 1827, and was described as a loving and devoted husband. They had eleven children (two adopted), only five of whom lived past infancy. During the thirty-nine years of his life, Joseph established thriving cities in Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois; produced volumes of scripture; sent missionaries throughout the world; orchestrated the building of temples; served as mayor of Nauvoo, one of the largest cities in Illinois, and as general of its militia, the Nauvoo Legion; and was a candidate for the presidency of the United States. He was a controversial figure in American history—beloved of his followers and hated by his detractors. Joseph was persecuted much of his adult life and was killed along with his brother Hyrum by a mob in Carthage, Illinois, on June 27, 1844.

And of course he is still being hated as can be seen from many posters on this board.

They do if an angel with a flaming sword threatens to kill them.
Does anyone else think that threatening someone with death if they don't have sex sounds kinda like rape?

Thank you! I've been trying to put a name to it for about a week now.
