Joseph Smith 1826 "Looking Glass" Trial


Recommended Posts

Posted

Just read the Purple and Miss Pearsall accounts. I began to wonder if people are ignoring certain aspects, such as the chest that kept sinking or the testimonies which support that Joseph could see hidden things.

It just seems odd that people have spent reams of conjecture on the unknown final disposition of the trail without addressing the supernatural events testified too in the trial.

It wasn't a trial, it was an examination.

Yeah- they keep saying the same thing about the Church's financial records and Romney's taxes, too. ;):P Edited by selek1

Actually, my response- however tongue-in-cheek- IS on topic.

All three instances have a two common denominators- the first is someone with an axe to grind trying to use rumor, innuendo, and the courts to attack the faithful because of their beliefs.

The second is the axiom "Guilty until proven innocent."

According to.Gordon Madsen it was a trial, but at any rate this is not about none sense of apologizing for type of proceeding.

Selek your first comment is not on topic and adds nothing to dialogue and neither does your second comment.

Quite obviously, I disagree.

But as a matter of common courtesy, I'll bow out and let the thread develop as you and others desire- reserving (as always) the right to speak up if I see falsity or error being passed off as truth.
