The Commercials, an interesting read

Post by _Joseph »

One post on the topic:
I'm just an everyday sort of guy
I live in western Illinois, America's heartland
I'm basically a story writer, I love to be creative
Everybody likes a good yarn! Right?
When I was younger I bounced between jobs, gold digger, glass looker
But then I started writing and I knew I'd found my calling
I've written three books and I've developed a loyal following
Although my readers are very loyal they are a small group
So I've had to go deeper, better penetrate my marketplace
I started a small bank......that didn't go so well...for the depositors anyway he he he
I set up subscription fees, real estate investments and I even bought an Egyptian mummy.
I'm a real family guy, I think a man should take care of his women....woman I mean. I only have one wife...I'm completely normal in that way...you know....just having one wife...who is for sure way older than 14 years old.

My name is Joseph Smith Jr., and I'm a Mormon

Please list for us every book you've read about Joseph Smith.
I guarantee I've read more.

Please list for us every research paper you've written about Joseph Smith.
I guarantee I've written more.

You are not an authority on Joseph Smith. The only things you know about him are what the demagogues say. Perhaps you should take the time for find something out for yourself before you insult him.

In order to prove it, Joseph Inc. must first list his work.

I suspect that he has not written any, however.

What about the above is inaccurate, Simon? Would you prefer "treasure seeker" to "gold digger"?

Or are you seeing an error because the Kirtland Safety Society was technically a quasi-bank?

Or do you not like the "he he he" in the Kirtland Safety Society reference because Joseph Smith also lost money in that venture?

Or is it something else?

You issued a request and attached a claim. Why is proving your own claim contingent on Joseph meeting the request?

In no way, does his list provide proof for your claim.

That's what I thought. Just hot wind from you. "Ooooh! Look at me! I've written all these articles!" It wouldn't surprise me in the least if you're just making this up whole-cloth---i.e., that you're a bald-faced liar.

But, by all means: go ahead and link to one of your articles. Put your money where your mouth is.

Similarly, before you object to someone insulting him, please list all these books you've read and research papers you've written. Otherwise, you are not an authority on Joseph Smith, and the only things you know about him are what the Correlation Committee says.

Doctor Scratch Perhaps you are unaware of the difference between published articles, and written articles?

In any case, I do not understand your hostility.
