I can not contest the fact that Smith was a false prophet. He was not imprisoned for his religious beliefs as Mormons say. He had political and other aspirations. The reason that he was imprisoned related to his financial and banking misdeeds. Which prison he would be in is speculation!

"Ages ago in the Great Council, Jesus was the prepared but meek Volunteer. As the Father described the plan of salvation and the need for a Savior, it was Jesus who stepped forward and said humbly but courageously, 'Here am I, send me.' (Abr. 3:27; see also Moses 4:2.) Never has anyone offered to do so much for so many with so few words!
"It is through the Prophet Joseph Smith, whom the resurrected Jesus called, that we learn these things and so much more about Jesus--long before Bethlehem and well beyond Calvary. "Whenever we speak of the
Prophet Joseph Smith, therefore, it should be in reverent appreciation of the Lord who called him and whom Joseph served so well."
-Neal A. Maxwell
LDS Hymn "Praise to the Man"
1. Praise to the man who communed with Jehovah!
Jesus anointed that Prophet and Seer.
Blessed to open the last dispensation,
Kings shall extol him, and nations revere.
[Chorus]
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.
2. Praise to his mem’ry, he died as a martyr;
Honored and blest be his ever great name!
Long shall his blood, which was shed by assassins,
Plead unto heav’n while the earth lauds his fame.
3. Great is his glory and endless his priesthood.
Ever and ever the keys he will hold.
Faithful and true, he will enter his kingdom,
Crowned in the midst of the prophets of old.
4. Sacrifice brings forth the blessings of heaven;
Earth must atone for the blood of that man.
Wake up the world for the conflict of justice.
Millions shall know “Brother Joseph” again.
PRAISE TO THE MAN!!!

ok, i know that this is going to sound stupid. i'm Catholic, so my information of Mormonism isn't too sturdy. I honestly have under no circumstances examine the Boof of Mormon or the Spaulding e book. I had under no circumstances even heard of the Spaulding e book til you stated it. you assert Joseph Smith is a faux prophet, and because maximum persons are no longer Mormons, it follows the final public of human beings accept as true with you. you're completely entitled to this thought, yet this is all it is, your thought. you will desire to settle for that no longer all of us shares your thought, and that they are merely as entitled to have faith what they suspect as you're to disbelieve it. I honestly have somewhat some know for the Mormon relatives i know in my opinion. I merely have not got the self administration to stay any such disciplined existence. No alcohol, tobacco, tea, espresso, swearing, etc - and in assessment to maximum human beings Catholics - they supply the effect of being to stay by making use of what they suspect. i choose human beings to understand my ideals, even though no longer unavoidably proportion them. i think of I owe it to all of us else to furnish them the comparable know. it isn't any longer as though they do something this is morally reprehensible. If the Mormons got here to my homestead to communicate faith, then if the timing became sturdy i'd enable them to in. If the timing became no longer sturdy, i'd furnish them the prospect to return decrease back at a handy time. regrettably regardless of the undeniable fact that, in the event that they needed some thing to drink, they might would desire to deliver it themselves. :-)

Just admit that you hate Mormons (not very christ-like by the way) and stop making all these stupid posts.
You hate Mormons, we get it.
