Journal of Discourses 9:312; “All those who believe in their hearts and confess with their mouths that Joseph Smith is a true Prophet, at the same time trying with their might to live the holy principles Joseph the Prophet has revealed, are in possession of the Holy Spirit of God and are entitled to a fullness.” – Brigham Young, Great Salt Lake City, July 13, 1862

Mormonism’s Ugly Underbelly – Fulfilling Smith’s Prophecy by Breeding with Native Americans

People often ask us at LAM if anyone knew what Smith and his friends were up to in the early days of Mormonism.
The answer to that is a resounding, YES!
Books and pamphlets were written exposing the Church’s nefarious deeds. Conferences were held, meetings scheduled, and an all out propaganda machine was in full swing denouncing what Smith and company were doing. For many, it wasn’t just the fact he was spreading a false gospel, oh no. Many were up in arms because of the wanton sexual licentious they engaged in, reminiscent of the days in Sodom and Gomorrah. People were horrified learning about the spiritual wifery, and swapping wives amongst themselves for a higher status.
Many dubbed their activities as nothing less than prostitution on the Western Frontier.
Today we’re highlighting two of the more well known ‘anti-Mormons’ of the time; John Bowes, and John Hyde, Jr. We’ve pulled a quote from each of their books to give readers an idea of what others thought of Mormonism.

Titus 1:16; “They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate”.
Chances are that most everyone has known somebody living in open rebellion towards God, their parents, or society at large. It might be someone whom you dearly love, or your coworker, or maybe it’s the person looking at you in the mirror each morning.
Today we’re catching a bird’s eye view of more than one hundred experts who’ve known a thing, or two about Mormonism. Their insight provides valuable proof of what many members of the Church need to come to terms with in his/her own life. Rebelling against the One True God of the Bible.
We’ve seen hundreds of quotes by Mormon leaders who claim they know God, but in reality they’re following a man who schemed his way into society with a vocabulary lifted from the KJV Bible.
Never Listen to Outsiders

Answers: Straightforward Answers to Tough Gospel Questions, pp. 215 – 216; “There is an important point in all of this, Elder,” I said. “Never let anyone outside the Church tell you what the Church teaches. You were sent out to teach, not to be taught (see D&C 43:15). The doctrines of the Church will always come to you through the channels that the Lord ordained, and the Lord didn’t ordain anti-Mormon literature as one of those channels.” – Joseph Fielding McConkie
