That sounds bad. It would make a good movie though.

Yes, that is true. I know some of the story. Then to think how they left Illinois and went into Iowa. They went somewhat South and then made plans to cross the mountains and head West. They still continued to suffer, and were bound and determined to find their special place on Earth. Joseph Smith was murdered. Go into the Western States and find the Mormon Trail. There is strong evidence there on the Mormon Trail, how the Believers in this Religion, walked with God , heading West. People are buried along the trail. The wagon wheels are still there. I walked in the Mormon Trail, and after that I have gained great Respect for this Religion. I am not a Mormon, but realize how they struggled. So stop to think , what others did to them. The Christians suffered, along with the Jewish Faith. Society needs to stop and think. AND do not pick on someone elses beliefs.

There were "Danites" in Missouri, for a brief time. However, I want PROOF of these "avenging angels" in Utah. Everyone accuses the Mormons of these acts (aside from the Mountain Meadows thing, which actually happened), but no one can offer any proof. But then, with anti-Mormons, if someone says something against the church, true or false, it's just true for them. THEY need provide any proof for their heinous accusations against our church, yet, they keep harping on us, SHOW US PROOF!!!
It's like this:
Anti-Mormon 1: Did you know that Mormons sacrifice virgins in their temples?
Anti-Mormon 2: Really?
AM1: yep, they do!
AM1 & 2: Hey, Mormon, how many virgins did you sacrifice in your temple today?
Mormon: we don't do that!
AM 1&2: PROVE IT!
Mormon: I can't, you know that.
AM 1&2: Yep, that's cause you do it.
Mormon: prove we do that
AM 1&2: don't have to. You do it. We say so.

It is a shame Smith was not killed sooner. I know I will receive thumbs down for this and possibly flagged but it is the truth.
Just as Saul failed to kill every man woman and child in the promise land and thus we endure those false religions from that region Boggs failed us in Missouri and we must endure this false religion. The Mormons were reported to have planned burning of several cities and so hanging Smith would have been a reasonable response.

Well i guess I should not mention the 120 unarmed women children and men that were massacred by mormons at Mountin Meadows, or the countless hundred of apostate mormons and anti mormons murdered by the churches avenging angels in utah.

Yes that is a true story.
But about the Danites?
Mormons who also killed for Brigham.. They Killed people who they felt were no longer good for the church, heretics, and those who spoke out against the Mormon ways?
All religion is steeped in the blood of the innocent.

People are always fighting other people over religion. It's not right but that's how it's always been.

Okay. It's not like they were the only religion ever persecuted.
