Can any defenders of LDS prove that FLDS is false?
Looking at the poor picked on prophet of the FLDS church, Warren Jeffs has me pondering all that he endures to live what he feels is the true church of God.
The feds are still hounding him for simply living the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, as restored by Joseph Smith Jr.

I challenge any and all defenders of the mainstream LDS church to prove that the Fundamentalist CoJCoLDS is false.
Doesn't the persecution that they endure count for anything in terms of "truthfulness" of their religion?

Well, help him out if you feel bad.

Except he didn't.

So you want us to prove a negative?

No. If the religion that endures the most persecution is true then you should go get circumsized. Preferably with a rusty knife.

What has Warren Jeff's done that is different to how Joseph Smith behaved?

Rather than prove FLDS is true, let's find the truth within FLDS.

He had the audacity to do it in the 21st century. That's it.

Re: Can any defenders of LDS prove that FLDS is false?
Mormons can "prove" that the FLDS Church is false by saying: "I know that the LDS Church is the Only True Church because I prayed about it and God told me it was the Only True Church, so the FLDS Church cannot also be true!"
Fundamentalist Mormon: "Well, I KNOW the LDS Church is true too, but today is is called the FLDS Church. The LDS Church is in a state of apostasy. I know that because I prayed to God about it, and God told me that was true!"
Mormon: "Well, sorry, but you are delusional! God told you no such thing! Perhaps Satan told you that, and you think that was God speaking to you!"
Fundamentalist Mormon: "Well, sorry, but YOU are delusional. Satan told you that the LDS Church is still true, but it is not. Satan is deceiving you!"
Mormon: "But I KNOW IN MY HEART that the LDS Church is the ONLY TRUE CHURCH!"
FLDS Mormon: "But I KNOW IN __MY___ HEART that the LDS Church is in a state of apostacy, and the one true Church is the FLDS Church!"
"The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it." (Jeremiah 17:9)

Dear Porter,
I'm pondering your question over a nice, cold Planet Porter. It's been a long, hard day. This glass hits the spot.
Sincerely,
Zee

Is it not possible to prove negatives?

Came up with this:

When I am a Mormon god, I will name my first planet Planet Porter.
In your honor I will name the moon, "Z".

It is possible. It is just generally more difficult.
Oh, and no, the FLDS is not the Church Joseph created transplanted to present day.
I'd do another post comparing the two and showing the vast differences but it will just be ignored again. Can't have evidence against this silliness stop the idiots from yukking it up. Please continue.
