Witchcraft/Sorcery in the Mormon Church?

Question

I've heard from a person that used to practice whitchcraft and was also a Mormon, that whitchcraft practicing goes on in the Mormon curch and that the founder of the Morman Church Joseph Smith, practiced sorcery/whitchcraft? Do any ex-Mormans know this to be true? I wouldn't trust a currrent Morman to admit to this if this is actually a truth.

To "SAINTROSE"--You're right. I don't trust you. Yet, you posted you fraudulant response anyway. Don't waste my time.

To DR. RED PLUM--Sorry to dissapoint you, but I am a college graduate that graduated with honors and I am going to law school in the fall. No kids either. although I'm sure your trailer in the trailer park, is fulled with illigitamate kids

Oh, DR. RED Plum---P.S, I'm not embarrassed at all. YOU should be embarrased with your slurs and your stereotypes--shows what a small mind you have. But I'm sure you are not to blame as you haven't seen the insides of an institution of higher learning, and never will.

Answer 1

If you really want an answer to this question then try looking at the freemasons for your witchcraft and wierd practices......Joseph Smith and his brother Hiram, both became freemasons and were taken through the rituals to the 33rd degree in one day.........seek information on the freemasons and you will have your answer. This site might help a little.

Incidentally...the founder of the mormon Church...Joseph Smith was in jail for counterfeiting and immoral practice when the jail was stormed by an angry mob who wanted to kill him...and they did. He was no martyr....he did not die for the cause of the mormons

Answer 3

The mormon church practices the most virulent form of white witchcraft the earth has known. The mormon church will be stupid to acknowledge such connection. Acknowledging such connection will doom the church. Instead the mormon church includes the sacred name of Jesus Christ in its title for better camouflaging its true nature. However in: Mormonism: Temple of Doom by William-Schnoebelen, he describes the absolute correlation between Witchcraft and Mormonism. The 2 demonic outfits mesh hand in hand. In fact many witchcraft practitioners and sorcerers consider mormonism as the highest form of criminal witchcraft. The whole Bible is, from beginning to end, nothing but a repudiation of the practice of witchcraft. Joseph Smith reintroduced witchcraft to the body of the Christian Church against the edict of God. Joseph Smith was raised in a house that practiced sorcery, they called in the church history book, as the "faculty of Abrak" as in Abra kadabra.
Mormonism is a fistula on the body of Humanity.

Answer 4

The articles that I have seen certainly testify of the fact that Joseph Smith practised witchcraft. I am told that there is evidence in his diaries and the diaries of people close to him . There were articles about of his family having come from Salem and were practising a type of folk magic.. As I have not read any original text this may all be true or not. Anyway I have met some missionaries from rural areas who may have been practicing folk magic. Anyway one of the things they say when they meet you is that you should feel a tingling sensation on your ears or nose or other extremity or a burning in the chest. These are things that witches say will happen to you when they are making spells. This is first hand eye witness experience of mormon missionaries claiming that one should feel these sensations when enquiring whether the Book of Mormon is true.

Answer 5

Ok kiddo you got it. I am an "ex-Mormon" who is now a witch! The 2 are not compatible. My Mormon family accepts me for who I am and don't say nasty things about what I believe. And where do people get off saying that Mormons are not Christians? Why do you think it is called
The Church of JESUS CHRIST. Latter Day Saints? Smith did not practice witchcraft nor do Mormons. Every denomination of Christianity has its quirks so why pick on them? How about that denomination in Kentucky who are snake handlers and drink poison? What about the denominations that do not allow dancing or allow their women to cut their hair or wear anything but dresses? If I had to convert (revert?) to Christianity I would go to the LDS. They are some of the most giving, honest, caring people I know (aside from other witches), But as it is, I refuse to accept that women are not equal to men, and that is the stance of most Christian denominations.

Answer 6

The whole of New England was populated with stories of 'Buried Spanish Treasure', especially on the rock-hard dirt of Vermont and New York. Most of the settlers there were emigrants from the Massachusetts Colony, not formerly educated, and were recently freed from the State run Anglican Church. Any 'spiritual experience' was fair game, and magic folklore, superstition and the occult was as common as new-age environmentalism is today. The Smith family was continually experimenting with Methodism, Presbyterianism, Unitarianism, plus 'divining' for lost objects or treasure chests.

Joseph successfully combined aspects from all sources, including the occult and pagan, plus off the wall christianity.

Answer 7

I am not Morman now and I never have been, but I have close family and friends that are. I asked them and they said they have never heard of this. I also asked ex-communicated Mormans and they said the same. But, like all groups of people, be it reliougs groups, a group of friends, any group, they all have diferrent opions and hobbies.
Mormans get a bad rap for lots of things. Just because one "Morman" does it, doesn't mean they all do it. :)

Answer 8

No it's not true. Granted Mormans do have some strange beliefs but they do not practice witchcraft and neither did Joseph Smith.

Answer 9

Some ex-Mormons often trend to become anti-Mormons, so you won't get any right question. we all know that witchcraft is not something that comes from God so the church is not related to that because the purpose is to follow Jesus and his example. If this "Mormon" woman did witchcraft, she was not a good Mormon and it doesn't means that all Mormons do that. Maybe she told you that about the rituals and Joseph Smith just to justify herself.

Answer 10

I am not aware of any Mormons who practise or condone the practise of witchraft. Now it is historicialy true that Jospeh Smith used stones to try and find buried treasure. For which he was convicted of see state of new york vs. Joseph Smith. Some have tried to claim that the name had been altered and that is was actually a Mr Stowell who's name should have appeared on the court docet. However whoever forged the new document was unaware of Oliver Cowdery's testimony. Oliver Cowdery mistakenly claimed that Joseph Smith had been found not guitly. Which proves it was Joseph Smith not Mr. Stowell who was charged with fraud. Oliver Cowdery was one of the three witnesses of the book of Mormon. It makes complete sense that he would have engaged in this practise as his father Joseph Smith senior was also known for digging for buried treasure and for counterfeiting. His father escaped prison by turning state evidence. Joseph Smith was murdered (an evil act) while he was in prison for having a local newpaper printing press (the navou expositor) detroyed when they printed unflattering comments about him (June 7 1844).
