Joseph Smith: BoM Indians are Israel’s Descendants

Posted in Book of Mormon, tagged , , , on 03/18/2026| 1 Comment »

March 18 — Discourses of Joseph Smith, p. 243 “What the Book of Mormon Is.

The Book of Mormon is a record of the forefathers of our western tribes of Indians; having been found through the ministration of an holy angel, and translated into our own language by the gift and power of God, after having been hid up in the earth for the last fourteen hundred years, containing the word of God which was delivered unto them.

By it we learn that our western tribes of Indians are descendants from that Joseph who was sold into Egypt, [Gen. 45:4] and that the land of America is a promised land unto them, and unto it all the tribes of Israel will come, with as many of the Gentiles as shall comply with the requisitions of the new covenant. (HC 1:315*.)” — Joseph Smith, January 4, 1833

Joseph Smith and Lucifer Compared 2025

Posted in Joseph Smith & Lucifer Compared, tagged , , , , on 01/16/2026| 1 Comment »

 January 16 — Originally, this article was published in 2011. While looking through our websites, I noticed it had mysteriously become attached to another article, ‘Joseph Smith, Nephi and Moroni’. Yikes!

Long story short, we’re cleaning house, as they say! Today we’re republishing ‘Joseph and Lucifer Compared’ as its own little self in hopes it’ll clear up any confusion.

This article, ‘Joseph and Lucifer Compared’, was one of the first things I discovered after making the exodus from my beloved heritage. Personally, the discovery was a heartbreaker and sent chills down my spine as I continued reading the evidence of what Smith had done. It became another proverbial nail in the coffin as I began seeing Mormonism for what it really was and is: demonically inspired evil.

Again, I want to make it abundantly clear we don’t publish these things to be sensationalistic. Mormonism doesn’t need any showmanship added to its menagerie of doctrinal shockers. It does more than an ample job of that all on its own. Rather, we publish these things to inform both Mormons, and Christians alike. We pray it’ll open the eyes of those who don’t know and help my people come to their senses the good Lord instilled them with. Here we go! (more…)

View of the Hebrews and Book of Mormon

Posted in Mormon Dilemmas, November, Witnessing Tip of the Day, tagged , , , , , on 11/13/2025| 3 Comments »

 November 13 — Studies of the Book of Mormon, p. 240 “Did Ethan Smith’s View of the Hebrews furnish structural material for Joseph Smith’s Book of Mormon? It has been pointed out in these pages that there are many things in the former book that might well have suggested many major things in the other. Not a few things merely, one or two, or half dozen, but many; and it is this fact of many things of similarity and the cumulative force of them that make them so serious a menace to Joseph Smith’s story of the Book of Mormon’s origin.” – B.H. Roberts, Mormon Seventy and LDS Historian (more…)

Moroni, Who was He? 2025

Posted in Moroni, tagged , on 09/22/2025| 3 Comments »

September 22 — My prayer for the ministry of Life After has been that we would be in God’s will at all times for all things. Whenever I think about the doctrines of Mormonism in light of what God has given and shown to me, my heart is sickened.

Therefore, our purpose at Life After Ministries is to always tell the truth while informing the public and offering a different solution; that being the way to the real Heavenly Father. I will be asking a series of questions throughout this investigation, and they will be listed at the end for quick reference as well. (more…)

Comparing Joseph Smith to Christian Men

Posted in Facebook, tagged , , , on 09/14/2025| 3 Comments »

September 14 — This photo came up in one of the Christian Facebook groups I follow today. Many thoughts came to my mind when I saw it, thoughts that I don’t want to share in this article. Now that I’ve had some time to think about it, one thing that comes to my mind is the song some of us learned from Sesame Street, “One of these things is not like the other”. (more…)

Joseph Smith’s Martyrdom

Posted in Martyrdom of, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on 06/27/2025| 6 Comments »

 Martyrdom:  the act of extreme suffering; torment.

Martyr:  a person who willingly suffers death rather than renounce his or her religion. One who makes great sacrifices or suffers much in order to further a belief, cause or principle.

The definitions of martyr and martyrdom above serve as the foundation of what we’re looking at today. The Mormon Church has emphatically defended their position that Joseph Smith fulfilled the requirements of martyrdom. I thought it’d behoove us to look at how people in history have become martyrs for the Lord and compare those with the case of Joseph Smith. (more…)

Christian Religion Brought Back by Mere Boy

 May 4 — Christian Religion Brought Back by Mere Boy. History of the Church, Vol. 1, p. XLII “But if men through apostasy had corrupted the Christian religion and lost divine authority to administer the ordinances of the Gospel, it was of the utmost importance that a new dispensation of the true Christian religion should be given to the world. It should also be observed at this point, that Joseph Smith, then but a boy, scarcely removed from childhood, was not himself pronouncing judgment upon the status of Christendom. It was not he who declared the sects to be all wrong, their creeds an abomination, and the professors thereof corrupt.” (more…)

Joseph Smith’s Invitation to Polygamy

Deuteronomy 17:17 “Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.”

Although he insisted that the practice of polygamy remain secret, Joseph Smith introduced his teaching about plural wives to thirty families of his close followers among the 15,000 Mormons living in and around Nauvoo.[38] When he denied from the pulpit having plural wives, at least 100 other polygamous adults sitting in the congregation knew about the secret doctrine. … (more…)

LDS Church Rewrites Joe Smith’s History

Posted in April, First Vision of Joseph Smith, Witnessing Tip of the Day, tagged , on 04/03/2025| 2 Comments »

 April 3 — LDS Church Rewrites Joe Smith’s History 1832 — Joseph Smith’s First Vision “…from the age of twelve years to fifteen I pondered many things in my heart concerning the situation of the world of mankind, the contentions and divisions, the wickedness and abominations, and the darkness which pervaded the minds of mankind. My mind became exceedingly distressed, for I became convicted of my sins, and by searching the scriptures I found that mankind did not come unto the Lord but that they had apostatized from the true and living faith, and there was no society or denomination that was built upon the gospel of Jesus Christ as recorded in the New Testament. I felt to mourn for my own sins and for the sins of the world, for I learned in the scriptures that God was the same yesterday, today, and forever, that he was no respecter of persons, for he was God.” [emp. added] (more…)

 March 16 — Alma Plagiarized Jesus, Peter and John in 73 BC. Alma 38:8-9 “And it came to pass that I was three days and three nights in the most bitter pain and anguish of soul; and never, until I did cry out unto the Lord Jesus Christ for mercy, did I receive a remission of my sins. But behold, I did cry unto him and I did find peace to my soul. 9 And now, my son, I have told you this that ye may learn wisdom, that ye may learn of me that there is no other way or means whereby man can be saved, only in and through Christ. Behold, he is the life and the light of the world. Behold, he is the word of truth and righteousness.” — c. bc 73 (more…)

When Nephi Became Moroni

Posted in Moroni, October, Witnessing Tip of the Day, tagged , , , on 10/11/2024| 3 Comments »

Jude 4 “For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.”

 By and large, members of the LDS Church today believe Moroni was the angel who showed up one night telling Joseph Smith about the golden plates buried in the earth near his home.

“He called me by name and said…that his name was Moroni…”

Today when members read Joseph Smith’s History in the Pearl of Great Price, Doctrine and Covenants 128:20, the narrative tells them Moroni visited Joseph Smith. They also read the same thing in History of the Church 1:11. See image.

4 Reasons to Reject Restoration Claims

Posted in Christianity v Mormonism, September, Witnessing Tip of the Day, tagged , , , on 09/15/2024| 3 Comments »

September 15 — 4 Reasons to Reject LDS Restoration Claims. There are a number of reasons faithful members of the LDS Church should question Joseph Smith’s first vision. His so-called chance meeting with God, and Jesus in human form while praying in the ‘sacred grove’ raises many questions. Today we’re looking at a few of those.

By no means is this an exhaustive look at Mormonism. The topics listed simply come from questions/comments on our FB page, and LAM blogs.

In all sincerity, we pray Mormons will think about the following contradictions and reject what their church is doing…

Reason to Reject #1 — LDS Hymns (more…)
