That's Joseph Smith
Founder of Mormonism
Using a method of execution as the symbol of Christianity was pretty weird, anyway.

>>129258888
It's not Joseph Smith it's Moroni the ancient Book of Mormon prophet who gave Joseph Smith the gold plates.

>Using a method of execution as the symbol of Christianity was pretty weird, anyway
no it's not, it's the symbol for the ultimate sacrifice that God made for us. just convert to Catholicism, or at least don't try to convert people in Catholic countries. go to china or the middle east or something, maybe it'll be a good gateway to the Truth.

Because it's a blasphemous cult that has nothing to do with Christianity. You're actually better off being a scientologist. Mormon mandatory tithing costs more than Scientology.

>>129257740
Because their founder was a conman and wanted criminal. Like a Jew he was caught selling fake bank notes and had to flee across the country.

Ive been in contact with a few Mormon missionaries lately and have come to discover that the LDS church was truly founded by a rapist and swindler.

The whole order is structured in that the common Mormon has to kill themselves to receive their sealings and a place in heaven, while anyone the church deems worthy is capable of earning a "second sealing" basically saving them a spot in heaven-- no matter what.

Mormons have to go through these weird masonic rituals in the temples that most people aren't even allowed to enter.

The whole religion reeks of evil.

>>129260486
How?

>>129257740
Fuck off shill. You have tons of missions to subhuman religions of the world. Visit Utah - plenty of cucks with gook and dindu adopted "kids"

>>129260537
Weird, than why don't I see Mormons committing mass suicide?

>>129260537
The second anointing allows church elites to commit ANY sin while on earth and they still are locked in to become gods in the afterlife. Truly a weird fucked up religion.

Joseph Smith is an ettin

>>129259429
Angel Moroni.
In Mormon text he brought the golden plates to Joseph Smith which is where the 3 books comes from, book of mormon, doctrine and covenants, pearl of great price.
They believe they are a continuation of the Bible.

Pretty based with minimum amounts of feminist bullshit, only men can hold preisthood status. Plus plenty of QTs.
But their rules fucking suck.

I'm talking about the book of Abraham, which Smith allegedly translated from an Egyptian scroll years before hieroglyphics were decoded. The translation was later found to be completely made-up.

>>129263661
He couldn't translate them because the Rosetta Stone wasn't found yet. Afterword the book of Abraham was properly translated as pagan burial rituals.

At least the places and tribes in the Bible, such as the Hittites and Assyrians and philistines, were real.

There is still zero archeological evidence that a Lost tribe of israelites migrated to the new world. Zip, zero, zilch. It's not comparable.

i didnt take "kill themselves" literally. more like "bend over backwards" if he meant it literally them this is false.

this is true unless they kill someone according to D&C 132

thats why seminary is next to the high school, not on it. the church owns the land that the seminaries are on. if you are in HS you dont sign up for seminary, you sign up for "school release" or whatever they wanna call it so you technically arent in school

Saying "it was a metaphor" after implying cult like suicide doesn't cut it. It is intentional misdirection, and therefore a lie.
The concept of a "second sealing" is more complicated than that and that's part of the problem with explaining Mormon theology, if you don't understand the basics, taking about anything higher is not going to make any sense. So they can just post whatever and it sounds crazy because no one understands the base. But to stay on topic, """Church elites""" aren't receiving second sealings, as it talks about in DC132, making what he said not true. The only people who would ever receive a "second sealing" are people who wouldn't "go do whatever sins they want after" anyways.
Last part is fair enough I guess, I don't know very much about masons. But I could say the same thing about a catholic mass, or a baptism from the viewpoint of an outsider.

> if you don't understand the basics, taking about anything higher is not going to make any sense.

but i do understand the basics. i was mormon for a very long time. saying that "well those people are good and wont sin anyway" is bullshit. the fact that they CAN and that its possible is troubling.

> I don't know very much about masons
joe ripped A LOT of things from masons.

its hard man i know. but you gotta come to terms with the fact that joe smith was a con man and someone in your family bought into it. i know the church is neat and they are good people but it is founded in bullshit. i know it makes you feel good but you can get that feeling from truth. i was hardcore mormon and my obsession led me to learn everything i could about it. once i learned and took a step back its plain as day that its all rubbish.

Is it feasible to live in Utah without joining the Mormon church? Basically, I would like to enjoy all the benefits of a peaceful, calm white society without having to buy into the religion.

You will have conversations started with, "What ward do you go to?" So be ready for that.
Honestly, might as well join the church. Just be honest with them and tell them you don't believe in the supernatural aspects and refuse to give them 10% of your income. They won't deny you anything except temple access.

If you are single and under 30, they try to set you up with other singles. You can go to wards with nothing but young single adults (YSA wards)

>>129268926
There are wards called YSA (young single adult). If you are between ages of 20-32, they will really push you to go there instead of your normal ward.
And people really push marriage early. Being 23 and unmarried for a woman is considered old maid status.
The women are not like catholics and protestants, they shame the ever living shit out of sluts. The most you will find in a Mormon girl is that she had kissed a guy. Some obviously do fuck pre marriage because that exists everywhere but it is quite rare.
The concept of Mormon marriage is nice as well. They make it more spiritual versus some sort of show off display that all Western marriages are nowadays.

ITT: no short supply of Mormon internet brigaders pretending to respect Mormonism from an outside perspective.

Just admit you've come to the door of /pol/ to preach to us about Joseph Smith and his golden plates so we can awkwardly smile, pretend to be part of the same general belief system and then tell you we really must be getting back to dinner.

my tag changed but I'm the anon from before.

Not gonna lie, I got triggered by this
>you gotta come to terms with the fact

You have no idea who I am and you do not understand anything. I don't believe you were deep into mormonism because you don't show a basic understanding of the doctrine. You sound like a child who is still resentful towards his parents for trying to force the church on them.
Arguing the nit pick-y stuff doesn't matter to me, its all explained away with confirmation bias, for and against the church. What matters to me is that I believe it has been personally revealed to me by God that I am on the right path and am following the right teaching.
The church itself has helped my life more than it ever hurt it. The mormons may be weird about a lot of stuff, but they are right about most things. And, most importantly, I've seen the leadership warn of the troubles of the near future many times, see pic. (also 2008 financial crash) Mormons protect themselves, their culture, and their country, and thats good enough for me.
I believe God still speaks to us, and will personally reveal truth to the individual and provided an way to find the truth. If the Book is true, the rest is true. And I honestly don't care about your opinion outside of that.

>live just outside stockport
>polite knock at my door last sunday
>open to find two typical american looking mormons
>they speak
>holy shit actual american mormons

Told them I am not religious but that I was very happy to meet them. Gave them a lift back to the village centre where they were parked, both great guys. They are coming to the village fete at the end of the month.

I don't see why american liberals get so buttblasted over their existance.

>>129269778
>I hope that if the US did collapse, mainstream LDS people would exterminate the FLDS.
Why, what's so bad about them?

>>129270228
>american liberals

because being far-left and most likely atheist makes them not understand things and so they fear it and then they throw an uneducated hissyfit.

>>129270228
Nobody gives a shit about the Mormons, there is a social contract between them and the rest of the US that as long as they confine the widespread practice of their religion to Utah we will ignore whatever it is they are doing.

mormons all white??? most of the mormons ive met are tongans.

@19thCenturyMormonism

My first gf was mormon. The type that has the temple in her profile picture and constantly professes her love for the church to everyone she meets. She gave me blowjobs almost every day.

>>129271173
See what happens if Mormons try to take root outside their Meccah.

That rash of federal raids on polygamists is an example of how the feds keep the spirit of that arrangement alive.

FLDS are the ones who practice polygamy and wear the old fashioned 1800s clothes. There's only about 10k or so, but that's too many for my taste. If people see Mormonism as a cult, FLDS is like branch Davidians of Mormonism then.

>>129264513
some sources say that Moroni is actually not even anywhere in the bible.

>>129271408
The polygamists represent 19th century Mormonism. The LDS church is all over the US.

nice testimony faggot. fuck off with that bullshit. i bet you "felt the spirit" typing that.
the following are not "nitpicks" and the only rebuttal you have is "muh testimony"
>Joseph Smith lied, raped, stole and incited violence his whole short shitty life
>your current leaders are souless, corporate hacks, the same "rules for thee and not for me" as any other megachurch since ever (how did Tommy Monson buy multiple large houses in wealthy areas? Never had a job outside the church. Same with Gordo, and many others of the quorums)
>the book of mormon is plainly, unambiguously, irrefutably fiction.
>your church gives less to charity in the last 25 years than the yearly donations of much smaller corporations, despite multi multi billion dollar holdings
i could go on for hours but I'm bored. you shouldn't be here. you can't reconcile your beliefs with exposing yourself to even the tamest corners of this website. go confess to your bishop about looking at porn and maybe don't take the sacrament for a couple weeks.

>>129270199
Dude i understand what youre saying. the church does a lot of good things. they teach values that will help you in life like anon said >>129267867. mormons arent the only ones who believe in the family unit. I said this before but Harry Potter has archetypal truths in it, doesnt mean it should be a religion.

>Arguing the nit pick-y stuff doesn't matter to me
its nit picky that joseph smith taught that jews sailed here from jerusalem? thats the entire basis of the book. its nit picky that the book is not historically accurate? that is hasnt been backed by any archeological evidence? that science has since proven through genetics that native americans came from asia, not the middle east? how is this nit picky, this is flat earth delusion. I have my BoM i got when i was 8 years old on my lap and it say that jews are the "principal" ancestors of native americans. thats because i got mine before 2006 when they changed it to say "among" which still isnt even true.
i get that you went on a mission and saw some real shit that changed your life and gave you a testimony, we all did. but joe smith wrote a book thats a complete fraud. a fairy tale from the 1800's. the basic premises are true, that because he took them all from the bible. a story about corruption being bad is true no matter who the cast is.
>If the Book is true, the rest is true.
if you really mean this then do some research. theres no such thing as anti mormon doctrine, just truth

oh and my parents werent mormon

Seems like a few of you didnt take out your endowment before 1991.
There were several changes made to the ceremony that year, including the new films that are played.

They were called penalties. the signs you make are direct relation to them but the exact verbiage was removed.
you basically pledge that if you reveal the secrets in the temple that you will be cut across the throat, chest and groin.

speaking as a goy who did it. And the further you go back in time the weirder the temple ordinances were. lots of changes have been made.

>>129257740
the whole CIA is driven by mormons

>>129273683
I like asking the missionaries if they know what the five points of fellowship are. or doing the penalty signs in front of them.
"it's from the endowment"
"no it's not, you shouldn't trust anti mormon lies"

>>129274917
I have yet to have ever found ANYONE who can even debate this. half of members will juat flat out lie that it used to be there. Its just sad that they lie to their kids like that too. My brother atleast told his son about how it used to be, but what do you know. Poor kid got into huge trouble for trying to talk about it.
Mission president flat out lied to him and sent him home over it.

>>129257740
Is that supposed to be a colored old pic of the temple? because its surrounded by buildings in Salt Lake City. Also It is one of the ugliest structures ever built, goddamn thing looks like it was made out of concrete.

>>129268352
Lol

>>129257740
Are those churches even made of stone? They look plastic.

>all white
just no, latinos are the #1 converts

>>129277114

and almost all of them dont show up to church anymore after.
for most missionaries its just a numbers game, and they put the blame on the convert at that point since they have the gift of the holy ghost.

I will say its a numbers game for the church aswell, they like to present their number of converts at general conference each year like its a special achievement
if they wanted to be honest about those numbers. they would list the number of converts that are still active after one year.

>>129257740
because there not edgy, they are very clean cut, suit and tie, and respectful of women and i fucking hate that

>>129278026
its a fascade.
They care quite a bit about their public image, given issues they have had in the past with it.
They will ignore or deny basic tenants in order to appeal to a wider audience. As far as they can anyway without the whole thing falling down.

>>129277807
>and almost all of them dont show up to church anymore after.
who cares? it's mormon tales of how great the niggerish natives are that will fell their religion

they already gave up on the mark of cain

Utah is so underrated. Beautiful, clean AF, very little crime, very friendly people. Literally one of the most geographically diverse and impressive states in the country. Probably 305 days of pure sunshine per year.

>>129281277

Has literally nothing to do with Mormonism.

>>129257740
>So /pol/, why aren't you a Mormon yet?
You really don't understand the idea of trying to do what's right at all, do you. To you it's all just expedience and outward appearance. The notion that we are trying to side with truth and genuine fairness is beyond the capacity of your tiny little brain.

>>129257740
Literally only the Salt Lake temple looks like that. Most others are pretty bland.
