Just watched the video. It was long winded without anything of interest. Nothing in the video is unheard. Somethings are rumors somethings are well established. Please explain to me what part of THIS video is propaganda?
Propaganda? Maybe. But Bill McKeever and Robert Bushman need to update their 2006 info. Joseph was NOT a polygamist and his death was likely an inside job. Many people betrayed Joseph. Why didn't John Taylor or Willard Richards testify at the murder trial?? Did they have something to hide? Perhaps the truth is more shocking than you realize. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5-iNtzo6icI.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F5heXE5xS5w.html
@@MichaelMantion The whole thing friend. Mormonism is a made up religious system. Joseph Smith was an evil man who led and continues to lead people astray from God.
@@MichaelMantion the fact that the truth is glossed over or missing. when you are ready- really look into the reasons---until then, you will only listen to your sunday school teacher who is not telling the whole story.
Funny how he’s the martyr, but he burned someone else’s property and tools of free speech and was rightfully punished for it? Like if someone came up to me and destroyed my phone for posting this comment, they’d go to jail. What a coward. I feel really bad for people born in to this religion. I came out of a repressive religion myself but the lies that lds was founded on are truly shocking and harmful to this day.
So Abigail...in writing, you are condoning the murder of two men who were in the custody of the State of Illinois. Even if Joseph was the kind of person you believe him to have been, are you OK with cold blooded murder? Go back to your repressive religion to get some morals. Wow
"Every man and woman must have the certificate of Joseph Smith, junior, as a passport to their entrance into the mansion where God and Christ are." Joseph Smith, October 9, 1859. In fact, Joseph Smith does NOT have the authority to forgive your sins and let you go to God's heaven. No, he DOES NOT have the authority. Even the Pope doesn't have the authority to forgive your sins. You get forgiveness from Lord Jesus Christ, the One who died on the cross (that he died for YOUR SINS) and three days later he rose from the dead. Joseph Smith was a false prophet, you can visit his grave but Jesus' grave isn't there because He is alive and sitting on His throne in Heaven.
Finally the truth is spoken! He doesn’t speak on Joseph Smiths many wives. Youngest 14. He had multiple wives so he could have sex when he was away from home. His wife had boyfriends. The so called prophets know this. Just like the Boy Scout leaders abused boys and the prophets covered it up. Don’t make the mormans out to be something they are not. Joseph would have been took care of as soon as he would have looked at my 14 year old daughter. Then you show pictures of him that look nothing like him.
I'm sorry to tell you, dear Americans, that you are the result of a deception. joseph smith was not polygamist and did not write the book of abraham...this can be seen from the church newspapers Time and season. Even the newspapers of the time declared that John Smith wrote the book of Abraham. I am correcting many lds doctrines in the book of doctrines and covenants by comparing them to the church newspapers and you can clearly see a lot of manipulation. I can't find the real Joseph Smith Bible. May God have mercy on you because you are manipulating history and making false statements.
To the people who believe he was trying to stop slavery, this is ridiculous because in his own teachings he taught that people with dark skin were cursed and considered them lesser and that only blond haired blued whites were pure lol. Contradiction after contradiction.
HAHA Joseph Smith never saw god or Jesus. His first vision that included both god and the father was written 18 years after the event supposedly took place. And by that time it was the 5th version.
#1The Navuoo city council ordered the press to be destroyed because it solicited rioting, an illegal act, not Joseph Smith . #2 Destroying a press, i.e. destroying property is not a capitol crime, nor is polygamy. Thus killing Joseph Smith, and Hyrum Smith and also attempting to kill Willard Richards and badly wounding John Taylor , all innocent men, is murder and attempted murder. Why kill those not on the council? Joseph Smith was under house arrest. The killers had to threaten to kill Federal troops to commit murder. The killers were Southern Freemasons who had rioted and killed anti slavers before, Joseph Smith was running for President to end slavery. He and his fellow anti slavery Mormons were targeted too. Best study up.
@@michaelparks5669 Lots and lots. Read something other than what your church only approves of. You people are being constantly lied to. History substantiated things your church covers up.
Come on now. So you saying under all that pressure that he went to the window to draw the gun fire away? Nah thats bs. He tried to run and jump out the window to save himself like anyone scared would. Interesting how much information is manipulated to make him look like a saint.
These two "historians" and their dramatizations almost make me want to cuss. What silliness this is ! Dramatic music playing, soft dramatic words supposedly spoken while all this confusion is going on. Hyrum shot many times through a second story window while he is in the middle of the room? Are you kidding me? Joseph firing a gun 6 times with a single loader gun? Why did you leave out how they got their guns. Why didn't you talk about the liquor that was provided them which they drank and felt mellow? Well, you characters have a master to serve, which is the almighty church, and had to make this event almost as earth shattering and spiritual as the crucifiction of Jesus. Joseph Smith is the greatest charlatan in American history, and the church continues with his lies.
I’d like to bear my testimony, All I have to say is that I was raised in the Mormon church and as a child I believed in everything that I was taught I grew up poor , My mother had 3 open heart surgeries, and my father had severe confidence issues, we moved around quite a bit, I was an only child, and now that I’m older I think about those difficult times , Out of all the different wards we were in I can honestly say that most of them were very judgmental, I specifically remember one time when my mother and father wanted to go to the temple in Cardston , but because they couldn’t afford to pay tithing for the last few months they were denied by the bishop. Not only they felt humiliated and embarrassed, they were told that they were not worthy of being able to experience going to the temple. I was 15 at the time and I was very angry, both of them were so devoted, and I realized that I never wanted anything to do with the church. Both of my parents eventually became inactive and we relocated once again, but this time I was really happy because I knew that they would never go back and finally I could be able to be a normal person just like everybody else who were much better people than religious people. I believe if you have a conscience and you have morals, there’s no reason to go to a religious establishment who tells you how to live your life.
That's why I always feel so much sorrow. I was friends with Mormon boys and they were ALWAYS being bashed by their so called church leadership. Hardly one of them could even afford bread. And the leaders were constantly trying to have sex with their mothers. But they were the nicest guys I ever knew. Thank God they all got out. They had good lives after that fresh hell that is the Mormon church.
2,000 year ago the religious establishment tortured and murdered their own God for not having the “correct” theology. Prophets don’t stand a chance! “If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.” - John 15:18-20
@@archangel_one I’m sorry but you are mistaken. Throughout Joseph Smith’s life he was repeatedly beaten to a pulp, poisoned, imprisoned and forced to listen to tales of slaughter and rape, and even fed the human flesh of dead saints before he was eventually murdered in a 100:4 men ambush. As for treason, those allegations were a joke and desperate last-ditch attempt of his enemies to seek a legitimate death penalty. When that failed they chose murder instead. That is a martyr of biblical proportions.
@@santbot Got caught lying! Tell us why you hate Mormons so much you lie about them like the Nazis hated and lied about Jews. Seek a good mental health care professional.
@@jamesturner8603 Since it is clear you are ignorant or a Neo Nazi and do not know Nazi history The Nazis claimed Jews were subhuman and responsible for destroying the worlds economy through out history just to name two.

Perversion of the Gospel GALATIANS 1:6-10: 6I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; 7which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8But even if we, or an angel (Moroni?) from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! 9As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed! 10For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ. Satan disguises himself as an angel of light: 2 Corinthians 11:12-15 12But what I am doing I will continue to do, so that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the matter about which they are boasting. 13For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds. Saved by Grace alone through faith, no of works Ephesians 2:8-9 8For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Joseph Smith didn't really die like a hero though did he? It seems to me less like a sacred "martyrdom" and more like a desperate violent affair. Rather than facing his end stoically he shot people and then died trying in a last ditch futile effort to escape out of the window.. Kind of like if Jesus instead of carrying his cross to Golgotha manically tried to stab the Roman soldiers around him with a pocket knife and then tried to sprint away only to get feathered with arrows as he tried to jump over the side of a cliff.
He tried to fight them off as a last ditch effort in self defense, and then died fighting. I'd rather go down like that. That mob was of a very devilish background, and you defend them?
How am I defending the mob? I'm just saying that Joseph Smith's actions don't really correspond to what you would expect of someone supposedly chosen by God. More like a cornered animal than anything else. Probably for the best though the mob did finish him off, if the Mormons had come and sprung him from jail as he had actively planned and hoped for then it would have almost certainly led to a war with many deaths. He was kind of an Asshole when you look at his historical actions without the rose tinted religious lens and was more than happy to let people die on his behalf.
@@nimbledick9869 Oh, they do, he was targeted by a devilish mob. It's not the best that the mob finished him off, are you crazy? Are you some satanist or what? If he lived, he would've done everything he could to protect his people. Sure, he did act like a jerk at times, but I believe that they were excused when he started developing the LDS church. He cared more about his followers than himself, which begins a problem, but it's better than not caring about anybody.
Seems more like his goal was to set up a Haram with himself at the top, he was either severely mentally ill or actively "evil" in both the moral and religious sense. I think most likely a bit of both. Pretty much the entirety of Mormonism has been disproved through Archaeology and through the Mormon scriptures themselves which are full of anachronisms in ways that the New Testament is not. Joseph Smith had far too many convenient revelations that have made Mormonism a vehicle for abuse that has made people miserable for nearly 200 years. Satan isn't the one who questions Joseph Smith's teachings, Satan is the one who attempts to apply them.
Wow this was missing so many important details. It's like this is trying to romanticize the event and smoothe out what really happened. This is not ok when real history should be shared.
@@gemmeerobinson1803 thanks for helping fulfill prophecy. God told Joseph Smith Jr., “your name shall be had for good and evil in all the world.” Woe unto you and your family. This wicked and corrupt generation has damned themselves! Jealousy and fierce, sharp hate still resonates today when you people have NEVER tried to believe in God nor understand His Church. Ye go to strange men and women to learn doctrine rather than those who are OPEN IN PLAIN DAYLIGHT! Woe unto you.
Love this! I left church for 15 years however in 2018 I had a literal Come to Jesus moment. I felt so impressed to research my Moms family through her genealogy and all I had to work with was her maiden last name. BROWER...The very same Ariah Coates Brower who helped make the death masks of Joseph and Hyrum Smith..The Spirit of Elijah was all over my journey to learn not only about my Moms ancestors but also my Biological Fathers Italian family who are all Catholic. Worlds collided..Fast forward, I realized that MY ways were not the LORDS ways and that's exactly when my testimony of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints pierced my very soul. It feels GOOD to be HOME🙌🏼
@@chainsaw3577 Exactly. He also didn't die because he stood up for his beliefs, he died because he lied about his beliefs, and the people knew the truth.
I do not like the negative comments. I just watched this. Although put together well, and i mean no disrespect to the gentleman in this video but JS was not a martyr. He did fight back as anyone would.
To me the death mask features do not match up with the recently discovered photograph of J. Smith. Do you have an opinion about the comparison of the two.?
Because the Bible is Christianity but through the lense of political control from the Roman empire. The Bible was compiled and edited by the council of nicaea. Constantine wanted to keep peace, so he merged Christian religion with Roman Pagan culture. From the time the Roman catholic church took control of the Christian movement they had over 1500 years of absolute control and manipulation of the Bible. If the Bible was all that was ever needed or was given, then literal millions of documents, relics and manuscripts hidden in the Vatican archives would hold no value.

I lived in Burlington, Iowa for many years. An 82 year old man was baptized while we lived there. He grew up in Warsaw. He told me he remembered as a 5 year old boy hearing the old men in town playing checkers outside a store boasting about killing Joseph Smith and his brother, Hyrum.
Smith reaped what he sowed as he boasted in the dark planting his seed to the young, old or married. Those who boasted to kill are used from the evil to join with the girls that Smith was good.
@@thereddalek6513 It sure was. Joseph Smith Jr. was finally allowed to rest from his trials and tribulations and go straight to everlasting glory with Jesus Christ and the Father.
I visited Navuoo and Carthage years ago. As I stood in that room listening to our guide I cried very sad tears. It was a deeply emotional experience for me…..watching this video I had those same emotions. Although very sad, I’m grateful for the opportunity to see it again and hear you teach us. Thank you so much.
Yes, so sad knowing the cover-up that Smith reaped what he sowed as he boasted in the dark planting his seed to the young, old or married. Those who boasted to kill him are used from the evil to join with the girls that Smith was good.
I know that Joseph Smith was a Prophet of God in word an deed. The witness I have received supercedes logic, reasoning, and worldly wisdom. He, second to Jesus Christ, is my hero. When all looked bleak, Joseph didn't renounce what he knew to be true. He endured even unto the end. And nothing anyone can say will begrime and tarnish my adoration of such great a man. I adamantly testify that Jesus Christ is indeed the Living Son of the Living God. And that He wrought out a perfect atonement for us and restored His Gospel by bringing forth the Book of Mormon fo us. He loves us all. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
So you worship Joseph Smith? You should read Deuteronomy 18:20-22, the test of a false prophet. I will be praying for you. The Gospel is found in 1Cor.15:1-4.✝🩸💜
Also, it always cracks me up how many haters, revilers, and “false priests who oppress” are in the comment sections of Church videos. I believe in Jesus Christ, I know Him! Joseph Smith WAS and still IS His Prophet of HIS NEW TESTAMENT Church. Joseph is a true Prophet and NO OTHER MAN could do what He did. Woe unto this wicked and corrupt generation of pharisees. A tank of vicious vipers, the Spirit has stopped striving with much of this generation… “Many leave the Church, BUT THEY JUST CANT LEAVE THE CHURCH ALONE.”
Smith that only flew in beds of girls, girls girls like a snake. Then you condemn others being snakes for exposing Smith the sex Maniac. Married wives secretly behind hubby's back sounds like a psychopath he was.
I understand more so, than I ever did before, of the tremendous cost in Blood, Sweat, and Tears to bring The Book of Mormon to the knowledge of the people. The past few days, I have religiously studied to the end of The Book of Mormon (next are the Books of Ether then Moroni). I have come to appreciate as to the depth of power that flows out of this remarkable volume of Holy Scripture and into my personal life. Thus giving me the impetus for personal change. As I study more and more, I learn greater and greater. Quite literally propelling myself via Heavenly Fathers TARDIS to these highly blessed days, of the early Restored Church.
And unfortunately we have to be prepared to protect ourselves families loved ones community from evil forces to know and to be more determined than your enemies...
At the 530 mark that building was not built until the 1850s, and the later building was not built until the 1870s or later. The Warsaw Signal or whatever it was called (it changed names often) paper, at that time, was actually down at the river at the foot of main street.
Reading the anti-Mormon rants here, I don't know _what_ motivates the raw hatred in their posts, but I do know _who_ plants the seeds of enmity in their hearts, and his time is short. He thus plants the seed of hatred in the hearts of men and cultivates it until it becomes murder, and the enemies of God thirst for the blood of his prophets and it burns inside them. If one examines the false prophets who have lived throughout the history of men, you will not see the deep-seated hatred and animosity one sees against the true prophets. Muhammad, Ellen G. White, David Koresch--none will cause the blistering animosity of a _true_ prophet. Thus it is that, if possible, Satan will marshal his forces against those of God until those prophets are murdered. In Revelation 11, we read of the future ministry of two prophets whom God will raise up in the last days. We read that they will be overcome and will be murdered on the streets of Jerusalem. We also read that the nations of the Earth will rejoice when they are dead! Satan knows it is difficult to motivate a man to murder. He must first plant the seed of hatred, and we see that many anti-Mormons carry this seed in their hearts and they allow it to grow. There are many religions with whom I disagree, but never do I allow that disagreement to grow to the point I see in the posts of anti-Mormons here and elsewhere.
You're outside truth Joseph Smith was a false prophet sexual pervert who was a predator who went after other people's wives that underage girls the fact you can't acknowledge that truth is because you not interested in the truth You don't know Jesus Christ your heart is far from Jesus Christ which is why you support the liar Joseph Smith the reason why God made them call that Mormon because all you need to do is remove the m and you see that it is a path of morons .

He destroyed the newspaper for speaking against polygamy & calling him a “ theocratic king.” The people were outraged! The freedom of speech. Joseph was mad because it told the truth. BTW Jesus is …” the truth, the life & the way.” Joseph hated the truth. All the people who shot him were not punished by a court of law! Amen! I’m so glad.
The attack against Church leaders (Joseph Smith in particular) at Carthage was a political assassination as much as anything. Governor Ford of Illinois didn't like the fastest growing city (with more permanent bldgs. than Chicago at the time) being guided by a charismatic abolitionist. The Saints were known for voting in block and were buying land in Illinois and Iowa placing them strategically on both sides of the Mississippi. They were poised for phenomenal growth. After being advised by the President of the United States to protect themselves, Joseph formed the Nauvoo Legion which immediately became the largest and most well equipped militia in Illinois. They were never deployed.
Brian, the bill of rights only applied to the federal government at that time. The video explains the legality of the action. It was perfectly legal. There was no violation of the constitution.
@@edwintaber6465 - the purpose of the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution in 1870 was to make the states bound by the bill of rights. Before that the bill of rights only prohibited the federal government from violating people’s rights. It did not bind the state and local governments. This is what the US Supreme Court said. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incorporation_of_the_Bill_of_Rights. I am not making it up.
Destroying the physical printing press was not legal, and for that the Nauvoo City Council was liable, not just Joseph. It was by order of the city council that the press was destroyed, which city council included non-Mormons. But destroying the actual newspapers was legal on the grounds that it was a public nuisance, likely to incite rioting and violence towards the Saints. And DRC 53 is correct about the 14th amendment; the implementation of the 14th amendment is what made all the states subject to adhering to the Bill of Rights found in the U.S. Constitution. Up until that point they were not.
The Nauvoo Expositor was printing libelous material which was pushing the limits of constitutional speech and why it took the city council two days of deliberation to make a decision. For example, you can't yell fire in a crowded room. Given the history of bigotry against the Saints and just coming off of an extermination order in Missouri, the fears and concerns of more violence were very real.
When Joseph went to the window, he called outside to the men assembled below, "Oh Lord My God"...which was the beginning of the Masonic Sign of Distress which he did not complete because they killed him. Otherwise they would have been duty bound to help him. Also you need to speak about the vivid flash of light that struck down the mobster raising his knife to mutilate the prophets' body as it laid by the well. Many of the mobsters saw it and witnessed the knife wielder become paralyzed.
Uh, Joseph Smith and Christopher Columbus were real people. Joseph Smith was a true Prophet of God as well. The Book of Mormon is another witness of Jesus Christ being the Son of God and I have received a witness from God of its authenticity. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is God's and Jesus Christ one and only true church here on earth.

Why would people not believe in someone's visions? Very sad to murder because of someone's beliefs. I believe people say when they say they had a vision. That's sad to kill innocent Christians.
He was murdered because he started an immoral sex cult. Smith started his sex cult when slavery was abolished in the US Women who couldn't pay their bills in those times were also enslaved. SMITH started a sex cult implemented marring multiple wives and enslaved them to precreat to have his cult grow as fast as possible claimed to the Gov the multiple wives was his religion. He ran around and took married women and also child brides he was pedifile by the way after the mobbed killed him most of the women left. So good to reason they were held by threats and abused and how could get help Smith was the Mayor. So the angry mob was assebl3d by men who had wives smith stole and took as his own and held captive or their children he marred and held captive ___ I'm not what' the fascination is with smith life and glorifying him his life and death spending money on statues of smith morning of his death and studying his lif3 ___;we got video after video of Smith glorifying him as the son of God. Taken the place of Christ. If a org people celebrating and glorifying a man thwt started a sex cult and was pedifile your going to attract pedifiles and folks with mental problems thats what cult attrack woth bizzare teachings. Smith had to isolate his group then ipliment the bizzare teaching of multiple wives and child bridew as coming from God. So the folks he gathered had mentwl illness or he abused them used fear tatics to threats and abuse to keep these women and others assembled. His type of behavior was not accepted. Again not sure why the church glorifies his life . Smith ordered the printing press to be burnt because they were exposing him. So Smith knew what he was doing was wrong not only did he have knowledge it was wrong but he didn't want outside his caged area what he was doing making it avaliable to him to leave his camp go out and either capture girls or manipulated other women up to his isolated sex cult. And was their people inside the printing press when he ordered it burnt down ...?. He was violent and used threats.AND WAS manipulating and basically a criminal. The book of Mormon was written while smith was in jail so are we saying Smith ordered the printing press to be burnt because they were exposing his immorality and pedifile sex cult he was running then God cam3 to him while he was jail to write the Book of Mormon to glorify Joseph Smith ?..?
7:47 those was not accusations, it was true, he did teach that. This is propaganda They make him sound like Jesus man I'm glad I left, this is laughable when you know the history
Did this guy mention the fact; the main reason he was imprisoned is because the State of Illinois charged him with treason for unlawfully declaring marshall law?
About 30 years ago a 12-year-old Deacon came up to the podium in a fast and testimony meeting and spoke of his family’s summer vacation to Nauvoo. While there they visited the Carthage Jail. This boy said, “I stood on the spot where Joseph Smith died by the well and I felt happy there.” Then he closed his testimony and went back to sit with his family. I thought, “Why on earth would he feel happy while standing on the spot where the Prophet died?!” At that moment the Spirit whispered to me, “That spot is hallowed ground. There are angels there.” I have yet to visit the Carthage Jail, but I hope to someday. When I do, I will stand on the hallowed ground where the prophet died, I will feel the presence of angels and I will feel happy there.
And he felt the presence of Angels because I'm sure they were there waiting for Joseph to take his spirit into Paradise. I'm sure they still hover there at times, visiting as we do.
@@brianmccutcheon3205 You know this how? A spirit whispered to you? Or maybe it was you gleaning truths from RU-vid? 🤣 Or believing what YOUR preacher tells you to believe? Or maybe you're old enough to have met Joseph Smith? Wow, what's your secret?
yea i dont buy there is golden plates and translate by using hat and then later on translate it without using the golden plates...sounds delusional to me
Yes, just like wonderful Artist that pulled Smith's head out of his dark hat and painted a lie with Smith deciphering the plates sitting up looking like a professional at a table. Smith was only a professional at seducing girls young, old or married that I see no naked truth.
The Book of Mormon adds nothing to christiantity. It is not of God. It contains many errors and has seen significant revisions. It also doesn't add much to LDS doctrine... The meat of mormonism is found in the "revelation" of Smith.
@@jujubeatz-mp1rw I agree The Holy Bible is truth. One can find God without the BoM, however the language in the BOM is direct. There are no contradictions to the Holy Bible. I felt like you all my life until age 55. Blown away!!! Praise God! It's his world and revelation his miracle.
@@Outdoorsguy1212 Could you state your reference for this statement? According to several references cited in the book I referenced, there may have been 3 wounded after his gun misfired a few times, but no deaths recorded. There was a trial with five people of the mob indicted, but no one was convicted or held accountable for the murders of Joseph and Hyrum.
I’m so grateful for the example of the prophet Joseph and his older brother Hyrum. Praise to the man who communed with Jehovah. Many criticize and mock these Martyrs but they lived great and died great. Fools mock, but they shall mourn.
The best comedy and fiction is based upon kernels of truth and incomplete truths. I enjoyed this video and gently laughed it's campiness. The comedy is tempered by the fact that millions actually believe the narrative without knowing the true, full story of what Joseph Smith was doing against honest people and against his country. Get educated.
Why, oh why, do film makers have to put music throughout the film? It's distracting, annoying, and makes it hard to hear the voices easily. It lends nothing to the telling. I'm sure its about "mood", but i, for one, don't need someone manipulating my mood for effect. Music if between scenes is one thing, but the constant BA of round is noise.
Before watching the whole video, I'm going to answer the question... I think because their daughters went missing and were found married to Joseph Smith, Jr.
I am a freemason. Yes the men that killed him were southern freemasons . They were pro slavers. Joseph Smith was running for president to end slavery. the mob had killed anti slavers before. Their types killed Abraham Lincoln.
Freemasonry is different today. Many of the Founding Fathers used Masonic Lodges to ferret out the details of the Constitution in secret. Many people in the past centuries were members. Albert Pike, look him up, and others subverted what Masonry was in past centuries. Still many good people in masonry currently. They help lots of people.
I know Joseph Smith was and a true prophet of God. Truth is truth and you can’t take away or add anything to it. Of course people will say whatever they want to say and believe in but I can’t deny what I know to be true and reveal over and over by the Holy Ghost to me. I know God lives. I know Jesus is the Christ and the Holy Ghost is real. I’ll do all I can to defend these truths even if it cause my life. I love this gospel and forever proud member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Thank you for posting these videos. Keep up the great work and will continue to support your work.
🙄 IF he was, and an example of the behavior that God endorses, then I certainly want nothing to do with that god. However, I'm pretty sure you just have no idea the extent of his ugly history that is well-documented. In a sermon in 1844, Joseph Smith explained how he was greater than Jesus, Paul, Peter--everyone since Adam--since no one had held a church together like he did. He was a deceiver and a criminal, and then he had himself crowned King of the Earth. Having something revealed to you by a spirit or an angel in no way proves that it is the _Holy_ Spirit or a _holy_ angel. Many spirits have gone out into the world, and the Bible already names the actual ruler of this world. Joseph died in a prison gunfight where his own party was returning fire. That is like the humble self-sacrifice of Jesus or the martyrdoms of the Prophets and Apostles of old? Hardly. I pray that you will wake up to a greater truth that the church has always been trying to hide, despite 2 Corinthians 13:5 with a test in verse 8.
@@ReluctantPostWow. What ignorance you have. In that one aspect Joseph Smith Jr. spoke truth. As he also did the many times he called himself nothing in the sight of God. The Book Of Mormon proves it is of God, for it condemns everything to do with Satan, and encourages to follow God and Jesus Christ's teachings. As Jesus Christ put it "If Satan fights against Satan, how then shall his house stand?" The Book Of Mormon fights against Satan, so it cannot be from Satan.
@@bartonbagnes4605 It certainly does not, and yes, it can be. What does the Scripture say--that satan presents himself as an angel of darkness or an angel of light? Those who were witnesses to the Book of Mormon _all_ later denied that Doctrine and Covenants are scripture, yet somehow their testimony in that carries no weight while it is supposed to be accepted in the first instance. The history and fruits of the LDS church are more than proof of its profoundly deceptive nature. What did Jesus and the Apostles teach and live out regarding wealth, for example? The opposite. What did they teach and live out about honesty? The opposite. What did they teach and live out about violence against one's enemies? Precisely the opposite of JS, Jr. and his Danites as well as Brigham Young, even founding Utah as being pro-slavery as its governor. The LDS stands in utter contrast to the teachings of the actual Jesus (not a pro-created son from a god mother nor brother of Lucifer) as well as to the teachings of the earliest Christian writings in both doctrine and lifestyle. Jude 3-4; Phil. 3:17-19
As far as we know, this is absolutely 100% correct. However, he should have received due process, proper protection, and a fair trial. But perhaps this was impossible due to his, for all intents and purposes, crime syndicate?
I think the part that is overlooked is that Joseph Smith had a *boom stick* smuggled in by a follower. All evidence shows that Hiram Smith *bang banged* first as Joseph tried to escape. "Beware of false prophets who come in sheep's clothing yet are like ravenous wolves inside".
I believe he and his brother was killed by insider’s in the room with him. Joseph had promised multiple people that they would be in line too run the church, Then when he was “appointed “ king by the council of fifty he blessed his son to be his successor. This angered guys like Young, Taylor and others. They conspired to kill Smith under the cover of instigating the mob that they knew were upset about the things he had done and was campaigning he would do as President if he were elected.
@ karlyoung5089 Joseph did not fight for his life, he threw up the masonic symbol of distress and tried out the masonic pass code distress, then he jumped out a window.
Humm product one marriage record from a US state of these alleged marriages. Produce a name of one of the fathers or brothers who help kill Joseph Smith. Tell us what laws permit killing men who have more than one wife. Tell us what laws permit killing men who were with Joseph Smith who were innocent of any crime. Tell us were the murders are going in the next life.
Don’t forget that he had a printing press destroyed that was revealing his womanizing. Oh, and marching his militia through neighboring towns while dressed up in a generals uniform. I’m not saying he deserved to be killed for it but… that’s very provocative behavior. Certainly not like the “lamb to slaughter” story we were all taught.
The gunshot through the door didn't hit Hyrum at his nose. Hyrum was over in the Northeast corner of the room and his back was turned to the door with his head laying next to the east wall according to the testimony and coroners letter. The gunshot in Hyrum's back produced no blood (unlike the video you played). The bullet in his back went straight through him hitting his watch but a bullet from the window would have traveled at a 90 degree angle. Hyrum according to the record would have had his back turned to the door so the gunshot to his back from the window doesn't make sense. You place Hyrum on his stomach which is correct but Willards and John say that Hyrum was on his back. Willard Richards wasn't behind the door hinges in his testimony he is on the left of the door. No one is in the door hinges. The coroner says that Willards might have told him he was in the door hinges which contradicts Willard and John's testimony. Even in that video you have Willards switch to the left of the door with no one in the door hinges 16:25 "Dr Richards for Taylor’s cane; all sprang against the door:- the balls whistled up the stair way -[see T. and S. 598.]- and in an instant one came through the door, Joseph, Taylor and Richards sprung to the left of the door and tried to knock aside the guns of the ruffians, Hyrum was retreating back in front of the door, and snapped his pistol, when a ball struck him in the left side of his nose and he fell on his back on the floor with his head one or two feet from the north east corner of the room saying “I am a dead man.” (Historian’s Office, Martyrdom Account, Draft pages 53- 54) "cutting away a piece of flesh from his (John Taylor) left hip as large as a man's hand, and were hindered only by my knocking down their muzzles with a stick; while they continued to reach their guns into the room, probably left handed, and aimed their discharge so far round as almost to reach us (Joseph & Willards) in the corner of the room to where we retreated and dodged, and then I recommenced the attack with my stick." The bullet in John Taylor's wrist happened after he fell into the room according to him. John would have had his hands in front of him to crawl under the bed. There is no way a bullet would strike him in his wrist and not travel down his arm if he is facing the door. John crawled he didn't roll under the bed. You positioned Joseph Smith wrong in the window. Joseph's right arm and leg were out of the window with his left leg and arm in the room according to William Daniels. Joseph's head was to the north and feet to the south holding onto the window with his left hand and foot. The gunshot to Joseph's right hip and thigh couldn't have come from someone shooting him in the room while he was at the window. Willards was shot in the left earlobe. How do you explain that if he was hiding in the door hinges the whole time? The mob does come back into the room after Joseph is placed at the well. "I was in excruciating pain. He put me in a cell and threw me under the mattress. He they may kill me...said is it possible Joseph is dead pray you may live and tell the story. they returned and found no one in the room and they absconded" (Transcript of Thomas Bullock’s Longhand Summary of John Taylor’s Sermon, June 27, 1854)
Smith declared martial law and called out the Nauvoo Legion to rescue him... among the "mob" were disgruntled ex-Mormons as well as freemasons intent on not letting Smith escape jurisdiction as he had in Missouri and Ohio. Those in Nauvoo who recalled the Legion may well have had a hand in Smith's death.
@@chainsaw3577 You mean escaped jurisdiction by being declared not guilty for the same crime twice already? I guess they must not have had double jeopardy yet. As Mayor, there wasn't anyone with authority to reverse Marshal Law or recall the Legion, if Joseph Smith Jr. had called them. Clearly he did not. He knew exactly what was going to happen to him, and left it in God's hands. Reading the books he so believed in for comfort, the Bible and The Book Of Mormon.
Please read and pray that God will reveal his truth to you through the Holy Spirit by his Word: [Rom. 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under the law, but under grace. Rom. 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believes. Col. 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holiday, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days. Gal. 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by works of the law shall no flesh be justified. Phil. 3:9 And be found in him (Christ), not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: Rom. 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:]
@@Jeffertoya It certainly makes more sense than any of that gibberish you just spouted. Haven't you ever heard that if you're the only one laughing, then you don't understand what's going on? Not even the others criticizing this are laughing.
@@bartonbagnes4605 no. It doesn’t make sense. It’s a hollow platitude. It’s like a maroon 5 lyric, it sounds like it is saying something but it’s vacant of actual communication. There is far more evidence of the criminal Joseph Smith than there ever was of the Prophet. Even the church history does a poor job of the behaviors that would label Joe a false prophet EVEN BY LDS STANDARDS. Nah, sometimes people don’t laugh with you because they are too ill-informed, willfully-ignorant or fundamentally-dishonest to get the joke.
So much ignorance and hate on here. Joseph Smith was an inspired leader of his time. The revelations that he brought forth are remarkable to say the least. He received over 100 that came in answer to prayer. These revelations answered pressing questions and laid the foundations for Church Government. Whatever faith we belong to let's look at doing good and refrain from passing judgement. Remember, If God himself does not propose to judge a man till he's dead, then why should we. Bill
@@Braveheart-1300 lol. I’m talking about stuff that can be verified as “revelation”. I know he had a few “prophecy’s” that didn’t pan out so I was curious to see if he had anything that did.
Do some research outside of official Mormon websites. And you will see, Joseph Smith was a polygamist and practice polyandry also. he was marrying 14 year-old girls and doing a lot of other weird things. Including, Masonic rituals. Plagiarizing other books and other theories. It’s a long list of things he was doing that weren’t good. He was also a treasure seeker, which was actually illegal.
the prophet was doing some unholy things, but who can blame him? Who is free from sin throw the first stone. I love this church but I don't believe he died a martyr, he died for breaking the law and trying to escape the law. He was human. Polygamy was illegal. He ruffled too many tai fathers. The world desperately needed the restoration,
I know Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God! I know that Joseph Smith did see God the Father and Jesus Christ and was called to be a true prophet. He received Priesthood Keys and authority from ancient prophets and apostles. He translated the Book of Mormon by the gift and power of God. I KNOW all this to be true!!
You BELIEVE it to be true. You can’t know things without evidence. You’ve been lied to. You believe the lies. He didn’t translate the Book of Mormon through any divine power. He “translated” it by looking at a seer stone in a hat. We were told he was given the power of god to translate the plates using iron and thimmum. However, church essays have contradicted this account and told the truth, that it was a seee stone in a hat. So he didn’t even need the plates to translate off them because he didn’t translate them. Just like he didn’t translate the papyri that turned into the pearl of great price. Lies upon lies upon lies.
You know all this to be true and you have been deceived. Who deceived you? Your very church and its leaders conspired to hide real evidence and real truth from you. The LDS church maintains its righteousness because it still has all of the evidence and documentation for anybody to see. But they discourage research, and ex-communicate any who are brave to look behind the veil. So the church trusts you will remain as sheep and not question your indoctrination. Thus their wealth and power remains.
I am not L.D.S. but i am glad you feel strong in your chosen belief. Christs commandments were simple love God and love eachother. Don't let the hate and victriol in these comments bother you. They can't claim to be followers of Christ with so much hate in their hearts.
It's almost funny-reading all the antis in here, blasting all their ilkish condemnation at the Saints, and they knowing (at least partially) that we make covenants that we will work to abolish pride and envy from our lives....hence our general avoidance to return fire. But no worries- the separation of the just and unjust has begun!
I m so thankful for Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum that I am bless with a strong testimony of the Book of Mormon and the true Gospel of Jesus Christ .
No wonders why when they came to Utah. The arm them self to the teeth. And declare war on those who want them dead. It was the last time they were gonna be abused and chased away
@@chainsaw3577 Men are exalted in the last days, before which they serve under God. If you’re going to quote Mormon doctrine, believer or not, research it first so your argument is at least accurate
The Prophet Joseph Smith was known by thousand's of followers to be an Honest and decent man not the scoundrel many then and now accuse him of being. There is no doubt he threw himself into the gunfire and out the window to protect his friends and the future of the church which was with those friend's. This is Highly Sacred ground !! This is the best documentary that has been made on the Martyrdom ! Well done !!
@@merricat3025 Such a great con man, he conned God, who is the source of all wisdom, to give him greater wisdom than Solomon, as they are still discovering new things he "guessed" right in The Book Of Mormon.
Because anyone who has ever tried to keep someone from entering a room doesn't know that opening it gives them the advantage? Saying he opened the door, when all those men were on the other side, is amazing. They would have been in that room had that actually happened.
So many hateful comments. The Angel Moroni’s prophecy was so true - that good and evil would be spoken of Joseph throughout the world. Very unlikely as he was such an obscure and unimportant Farm boy. That prophecy should not have been fulfilled, but yet here we are. I am grateful for the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and I am grateful for Joseph Smith’s sacrifices. The restoration has blessed me and my family more than I can say. I am so grateful for the book of Mormon and the restored church of Jesus Christ. I hate to think who I would be without it’s guiding influence.
@@lisapaige6530 They are there watching the fruits of their labors. The church that started with 6 souls has grown into a worldwide church of 16.5 million members. He was truly a prophet of God. By their fruits ye shall know them.
