Conference Report, October 1937, p. 18 “I would rather lose my right arm than break my word of honor.” — Reed Smoot
Mark 8:36 “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”
You can see how Mr. Smoot’s comment means nothing in a post we published in 2013 where he said temple endowments never change.
Here’s how dictionary.com defines honor —
‘Honesty, fairness, or integrity in one’s beliefs and actions
In other words, you need to tell the truth.
Sadly, Mr. Smoot had no intention of doing such things.
As always, we’re asking our Christian friends to pray for members of the Church and in a loving manner share the truth about their church’s past with them.

Just for fun, ask a mormon what they think of the ‘oath of vengeance’ which was removed from the temple ceremony in the early 1930s. A little committee removed it…not ‘god’, a committee. Reed Smoot had a few problems with his senate election/confirmation bc of polygamy and that aforementioned oath.
I wish they had a love instead of just like option! Thanks for the insight and reminding our visitors of the true history behind Mr. Smoot’s activities.
Honor??? The whole LDS is based on nothing BUT lies. Their history is based on a pack of lies. Joe Smith told so many lies it’s a wonder his nose wasn’t 6 feet long!
