I've read a number of Wikipedia articles about the Church. I've even edited some of them. An interesting fact about Wikipedia: there are, or used to be, a number of highly hostile individuals who camped out on LDS-related articles and diligently edited them to keep them as Mormon-hostile as possible. It's a sometimes useful source, but it's far from infallible. 16 hours ago, Tacenda said: Brigham exterminated people. Learned this just today because I hadn't read as throughly as before, maybe you have the same situation and didn't know, but I do want some imput on why LDS seem to not be bothered. And I apparently got my answer as far as you are concerned. So just because someone is dead, we don't talk about it? That's not what I said. Perhaps you should read my post again. 16 hours ago, Tacenda said: ETA: Have you read the entire article? If you had you probably wouldn't have said half of what you did to me. I've read a lot more than you suppose. 16 hours ago, Tacenda said: Oh, and I just love how you think you know me. That's a remarkably adolescent rejoiner.

While the Lorenzo Snow story is interesting, it should be noted that we only have a third-hand source for it (his granddaughter told his son who told the story years after President Snow's death). Doesn't mean it didn't happen, but third-hand stories are what they are. And which "others" are you referring to?

Was not the granddaughter still alive or was the son the only source of the story? In 1832, Jesus Christ appeared in a vision to Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon. Both men saw and conversed with him (D&C 76:14) and also witnessed a vision of the kingdoms to which mankind will be assigned in the life hereafter. The Lord also appeared to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery in April 1836 in the Kirtland Temple shortly after its dedication and manifested his acceptance of this first latter-day temple (D&C 110:1-10). The sixth President of the Church, Joseph F. Smith, saw the Savior in a vision in 1918, as recorded in Doctrine and Covenants section 138. This vision showed the Savior's visit to the spirits of the dead while his body was in the tomb between the time of his crucifixion and resurrection. Joseph F was an apostle and President at the time. I realize Sidney Rigdon was not an apostle, but he was a member of the Presidency. I think Oliver was an apostle for awhile if memory serves. Feel free to correct me. 1
