Denial of the Danites
Posted in History of Mormonism, tagged Danites, joseph smith, Sampson Avard, vigilante on 06/13/2018| 1 Comment »
Matthew 5:44 “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you”.
Joseph Smith was a busy guy, and had left a trail of evidence showing his activities were typically less than godly. Today’s post is about the events of when Smith and friends organized their vigilante crusade, and the Church’s subsequent denial any such thing existed.
Today we have the benefit of the Church’s own track record to see how they’ve denied this activity, just as Smith denied ever practicing polygamy.
Listed below are excerpts from both sides of this issue. For further info, links are provided to get you where you need to be.
One thing is absolutely certain.
Either Joe Smith lied in his journals the Church willingly published, or the Church has lied by denouncing historical facts.
Be sure to check out our article Mormon Danites v. Biblical Danites & find out why these two groups weren’t following the Lord.
TodayinMormonHistory.com “– 180 years ago today – Jun 10, 1838 — The “Danites” are organized during a clandestine meeting when Jared Carter, George W. Robinson, and Sampson Avard, “under the instruction of the [First] [P]residency, formed a secret military society, called the ‘daughter of Zion.’” (more…)

Mormon Danites v. Biblical Danites
Posted in Mormon Dilemmas, tagged biblical Danites, Danites, false prophet, Hosea Stout, John D. Lee, joseph smith, Mormon Danites on 06/17/2015| Leave a Comment »
Judges 17:6; “In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.”
The bible verse above is fitting for both sets of Danites we’re looking at today. Both had problems with following God and did what they saw fitting in their own eyes.
Controversy has always been a staple in the subject of Mormon Danites and it begins with the simple fact of when they were first organized. Some believe the ‘Armies of Israel’ were the original Danites, and on the other end of the spectrum is the argument Danites were only a part of Mormon folklore.
Polygamy and Mormon Church Leaders Hosea Stout Intro
Posted in Polygamy & Mormon Church Leaders, tagged Danites, false doctrines of Mormonism, Hosea Stout, polygamy and Mormon Church Leaders, underage brides on 02/17/2015| 2 Comments »
Hosea Stout abandoned his Methodist faith in lieu of Mormonism in the early days of the Church and fulfilled each and every role given to him during his 50+ year tenure. From polygamy, to the priesthood and powerful US government office positions; Mr. Stout certainly didn’t lack ambition.
Blood Atonement in Mormonism
Posted in Blood Atonement, tagged Brigham Young, Danites, joseph smith, Mormon blood atonement, Mountain Meadows on 10/02/2014| 4 Comments »
Today we’re publishing a new page on the blog that you can find over on the right sidebar. Woo-hoo!
In all seriousness, this is a subject matter that isn’t pretty, but needs to be told. Ignoring, hiding or denying that blood atonement wasn’t part of Mormonism is disingenuous and exploiting it is just as bad.

Journal of Discourses 2:186; “I will take the Government of the United States, and the laws of Missouri and Illinois, from the year 1833 to 1845, and if they had been carried out according to their letter and spirit, they would have strung up the murderers and mobocrats who illegally and unrighteously killed, plundered, harassed, and expelled us. I will tell you how much I love those characters. If they had any respect to their own welfare, they would come forth and say, whether Joseph Smith was a Prophet or not, “We shed his blood, and now let us atone for it;” and they would be willing to have their heads chopped off, that their blood might run upon the ground, and the smoke of it rise before the Lord as an incense for their sins. I love them that much. But if the Lord wishes them to live and foam out their sins before all men and women, it is all right, I care not where they go, or what they do.” – Brigham Young, Salt Lake City, February 18, 1855

William Adams Hickman
aka Brigham Young’s Destroying Angel
April 16, 1815 – August 21, 1883
If you like to read about the old west with stories of murder, mayhem and intrigue the stories about William Adams Hickman, aka “Wild Bill Hickman” is right up your alley. This man’s life was filled with all of the descriptions above and when you throw a little religion and polygamy into the pot it makes for a great t.v. mini-series.
Mormon Dilemma 862 Danites and Joseph Smith

Today we’re exploring the extracurricular activities of the Church and what if any knowledge Joseph Smith had of this group. You’ll notice how he denies they exist and also how he knows they exist, but isn’t complicit in any wrong doing.
The Restored Church, pp 197-198; “Such a band as the “Danites” did exist, as historians affirm; but that Joseph Smith had nothing to do with it and exposed the participants when he became aware of it, is equally well-confirmed…The organization had been for the purpose of plundering and murdering the enemies of the Saints.” – William E. Berrett
