I'm shocked and disgusted by what I have learned about Joseph Smith and why none of this has ever been mentioned in my 35 years attending church. As I watched the news the other day I was struck that the FLDS leader Jeffs is the 2006 version of Joseph Smith. Smith must have been viewed by his contemporaries much the same way we see Jeffs today....perverted, controlling, greedy, self-important and blasphemous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23230416.post-1147631539080164192006-05-14T11:32:00.000-07:002006-05-14T11:32:00.000-07:00I was taught, as a Mormon child, that Noah had two...I was taught, as a Mormon child, that Noah had two of every kind of animal in the Ark. But the quiz game "QI" on BBC TV had that as a question. It turns out that nowhere in the Bible does it say Noah only took two of each animal. He took more than 2 of some types, so the mormons even got THAT cocked up!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17774822085901274565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23230416.post-1146559459218721612006-05-02T01:44:00.000-07:002006-05-02T01:44:00.000-07:00Yes, this is exactly what I am going through now. ...Yes, this is exactly what I am going through now. It seems as though I cannot get enough. I faintly remember hearing events in the church history mentioned, but I paid no attention as if it were a fairy tale. Now I mourn at some of the events that I read about dealing with the church history. More particularly as I was reading last night about the doctrine taught by Young about the "blood atonement". Quite astonishing. I admit the church has come a long way since those times, but to think that that is how it all began.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to getting past the feeling of being lost and like christfollower mentioned being able to trust again.Trixie Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06179422062643805752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23230416.post-1146225234607925052006-04-28T04:53:00.000-07:002006-04-28T04:53:00.000-07:00Just wanted to say "Amen" to this.

Like you I have to wonder what else might not be true. More than anything my trust is gone, and trust is the foundation of any relationship.Bob Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01011901559691393063noreply@blogger.com
