Joseph Smith predicted the demise of the government of the state of Missouri. That never happened......

[Cold Steel]

The question could have been more politely put, but in this case the initial poster is simply ignorant of prophecy or its fulfillment. During the War of 1861, the state of Missouri was fully routed and decimated. Many of those who had murdered and driven out the saints of God were themselves driven out of their homes. Union troops operating under General Order 11 turned out women and children into the cold, often raping the women, killing or confiscating livestock and pets and burning the homes after ransacking them. Men who were too old or boys too young to fight were often hung indiscriminately in retaliation for cut telegraph wires by Confederate sympathizers. Gen. Alexander Doniphan, a non-Mormon who had befriended and protected Joseph Smith, described much of the aftermath.

Demise means: "Termination of existence or operation: the demise of the empire."

Missouri was never demised. The Bible has never made a wrong prediction. The book of Mormon has. This is one the many..........Does that not make you think that maybe Joseph Smith was a false prophet?

I prophecy a "demise" from this discussion board very soon.

I think R.O.U.S and Gravity and yshwa4life are all alts of one person.

1) logs on/off at nearly the same time

2) very vague profiles

3) starts a controversial topic and puts quasi-based information

4) except he hasn't yet on this topic, all alts wind up preaching EV doctrine

Same overtones and signature. I may be wrong, but seriously doubt it.

After reading through this topic it occurred to me that I am one of the few people left alive on the planet who remembers being told second-hand accounts of battles of the US Civil War. My great-grandmother, who was born in 1876, and with whom I lived for a time after my mother died, told me a few stories of cavalry action in Missouri that she had heard from either her father or grandfather, don't remember which, who had been participated in them (probably on the confederate side). I was too young to remember much of what she said, but I did get the impression from her that things were very chaotic in that state at the time.

Stargazer, thanks for jogging my memory of something I've been meaning to ask.

Does anyone have access to (or know where to find) a full transcription of Solomon Mack

Sadly, Arizona's lawmakers aren't too fare behind California's when it comes to questionable budget schemes.

It's not as bad as the time we sold the Grand Canyon to Utah.
