Subject: Mormons are NOT allowed to read this Book!
Subject: Mormons are NOT allowed to read this Book!
This book contains the historical view and personal analysis of LDS and the foundational members of mormonism. It is written in truthful accounts and unbiased thoughts, therefore, branded "anti-mormon" by frantic leaders of LDS since it may cause critical thinking within the practitioner ranks.
Never forget the 5 Rules for Mormons in Good Standing:
Rule number one inside LDS: “Never ever say anything negitive about Joseph Smith, even if it is the authenticated actions of a scoundrel.” You, a member of LDS, must NEVER admit to Joseph Smith being wrong about ANYTHING. LDS members WILL revier Joseph Smith as deity at ALL times. As such, the Prophet, Seer and Revelator of succession will do NO wrong, say NO wrong, and act NO wrong.
Rule number two: You will pretend to not notice there is nothing to substantiate the Book of Mormon, or D&C, or PoGP, as inspired books. Even though there is no archeology, artifacts, written collaboration, or sociology to support the single source manuscript, you will speak reverently regarding the MIRICAL that they are. You MUST say they are the most correct of all books. You must never say that the BoM has been changed over 4 thousand times.
Rule number three: You MUST declare LDS as a Christian nuance. You will NEVER speak of our doctrine where we believe Jesus is the literal son of god and his goddess wife begotten in the pre-existence, the brother of all spirits born in heaven in the premortal existence, one of 3 gods in the godhead, the Trinity is three separate gods, first one to receive a spirit body, atoned for sin on the cross and in the garden of Gethsemane, and was a polygamist, having 4 wives and several children. Further, you will NEVER read, review, experience any unauthorized material regarding LDS history, BoM history, Mormonism etc. ONLY LDS approved material will be authorized for your consumption. Your opinion WILL comport to the current LDS narrative and nothing else no matter the source of your unauthorized conviction.
Rule number four: The Holy Ghost that testifies to your heart as a warmth in your bosom, WILL conform to the Prophet’s contemporary way of thought. You WILL have a testimony and share it when told to do so. You will reject rational thinking and critical thought in order to make room for the Mormonization of your mental agency. NEVER question the LDS doctrine, history, or Prophet’s word. You ARE a complete and total asset of the LDS rank and file. Pay your full tithe, and do what the Biship directs you to do. If you are so utterly weak and useless, succombing to “facts” and enemy thoughts, you had better DOUBT your DOUBTS.
Rule number five: Anyone who presents data contradicting the LDS narrative is ANTI-MORMON. You WILL defend LDS through ad-hominim argument, conjecture or volume assisted attack. You WILL flip the responsibility of proof of truth claims by placing the burden of proof on the evil anti-mormon(s). You will NOT look at, consider, or read any counter-mormon data. If an LDS member apostates, you WILL accuse them of sin or weakness and shun them. You WILL also scream in a shrill voice that “They can leave the church but they can’t leave the church alone!”
In reading this book the reader will discover why there is such a PR campaign necessary for the reputation earned by their founder.
" Joseph Smith, Jr., the pretended prophet, used to pretend to tell fortunes ; he had a stone which he used to put in his hat, by means of which he pro- fessed to tell people's fortunes.
" Joseph Smith, Jr., Martin Harris, and others, used to meet together in private, a while before the gold plates were found, and were familiarly known by the name of the * Gold Bible Company.' They were regarded by the community in which they lived as a lying and indolent set of men, and no confidence could be placed in them."
Great read for the seeker of truth as well as the LDS captives.
