Bitter Fruits of Apostacy. Could we be any more hypocritical?

God has the right to create and to destroy, to make like and to kill. He can delegate this authority if he wishes to. I know that can be scary. Deal with it.

I think it would be morally right to lie about your religion to edit the article favorably.

The easiest way to engage in a cover-up is to smear your opponents. What if the Kirtland bank collapse hadn't happened? Sounds like Joseph Smith had his own "enemies list".

And here I thought it would be another thread about the Temple protests in November.

Quote from Smith's mistress:

Sister Eliza R. Snow recalled: “Many who had been humble and faithful to the performance of every duty—ready to go and come at every call of the Priesthood—were getting haughty in their spirits, and lifted up in the pride of their hearts. As the Saints drank in the love and spirit of the world, the Spirit of the Lord withdrew from their hearts.”2

This was a woman that was never legally married to Smith - nevertheless was married to him in mock ceremonies twice. The first without the knowledge of Smith's only legal wife, the second to deceive Emma into thinking that he had no previous relation with her. A woman that aspired to share the bed of Smith without his wife's knowledge?

What spirit is this woman actually describing?

Under what spirit did she state these words?

A lying and whoring spirit?

How can this woman remain the jewel of Mormonism?

Didn't she marry Brig. Young too?

That she did. What a trophy to do a wife that was done by your predessesor. I can see why Emma had no desire to go West.

You are the bitter fruit, inc. You had the unmitigated gall to apostacize.

I agree with you. Until you leave the Church or stop trying to tear it down you can't be much more hypocritical.
