APOSTATES AND PROUD OF IT ☭

"Nothing less than a complete apostasy from the Christian religion would warrant the establishment of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints." History of the Church (vol. 1, pg. 11) Joseph Smith - Founder of Mormonism

NON-MORMON CHRISTIANS ARE PAGANS ☭

"...the time came when Paganism was engrafted into Christianity, and at last Christianity was converted into Paganism rather than converting the Pagans. And subsequently the Priesthood was taken from among men, this authority was re-called into the heavens, and the world was left without the Priesthood—without the power of God—without the Church and Kingdom of God." Journal of Disclosures (vol. 22, ch. 16, pg. 44) Brigham Young - Mormon Leader

ALL DENOMINATIONS ARE WRONG ☭

"My object in going to inquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right--and which I should join. I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong, and the personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in His sight: that those professors were all corrupt; that "they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me; they teach for doctrines the commandments of men: having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof." History of the Church (vol. 1, ch. 11, pg. 5-6) Joseph Smith - Founder of Mormonism

BIBLE CAN'T COMPETE WITH MORMONISM ☭

"Take up the Bible, compare the religion of the Latter-day Saints with it, and see if it will stand the test." Journal of Discourses (vol. 16, pg. 46) Brigham Young - Mormon Leader

BIBLE FLAWED BEYOND RECOGNITION ☭

"I believe the Bible as it read when it came from the pen of the original writers. Ignorant translators, careless transcribers, or designing and corrupt priests have committed many errors." History of the Church (vol. 6, pg. 57) Joseph Smith - Mormon Founder

JESUS CHRIST - FATHER & POLYGAMIST ☭

"Jesus Christ was married at Cana of Galilee, that Mary, Martha, and others were his wives, and that he begat children." Journal of Discourses (vol. 2, pg. 210) Orson Hyde - Mormon Leader

MACULATE CONCEPTION ☭

"The birth of the Saviour was as natural as are the births of our children; it was the result of natural action. He partook of flesh and blood—was begotten of his Father, as we were of our fathers." Journal of Discourses (vol. 8, pg. 115) Brigham Young - Mormon Leader

POST-MORTEM BAPTISMAL OF THE LOST SOULS OF AMERICA'S FOUNDING FATHERS ☭

"I will here say, before closing, that two weeks before I left St. George, the spirits of the dead gathered around me, wanting to know why we did not redeem them. Said they, "You have had the use of the Endowment House for a number of years, and yet nothing has ever been done for us. We laid the foundation of the government you now enjoy, and we never apostatized from it, but we remained true to it and were faithful to God." There were the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and they waited on me for two days and two nights. I thought it very singular, that notwithstanding so much work had been done, and yet nothing had been done for them. The thought never entered my heart, from the fact, I suppose, that heretofore our minds were reaching after our more immediate friends and relatives. I straightway went into the baptismal font and called upon brother McCallister to baptize me for the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and fifty other eminent men, making one hundred in all, including John Wesley, Columbus, and others; I then baptized him for every President of the United States, except three; and when their cause is just, somebody will do the work for them." Journal of Discourses (vol. 19, ch. 19, pg. 229) Wilford Woodruff - Mormon Leader 09-16-1877

GENTILES ARE IMPURE ☭

"Again, if a pure Gentile firmly believes the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and yields obedience to it, in such a case I will give you the words of the Prophet Joseph—"When the Lord pours out the Holy Ghost upon that individual he will have spasms, and you would think that he was going into fits." Joseph said that the Gentile blood was actually cleansed out of their veins, and the blood of Jacob made to circulate in them; and the revolution and change in the system were so great that it caused the beholder to think they were going into fits." Journal of Discourses (vol. 2, pg. 269) Brigham Young - Mormon Leader

CHRISTENDOM LACKS WHAT BENEFITS ME ☭

"We declare it to all the inhabitants of the earth from the valleys in the tops of these mountains that we are the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—not a church but the church—and we have the doctrine of life and salvation for all the honest-in-heart in all the world. Who else has got it? Is it to be found in the creeds of Christendom? It is not." Journal of Disclosures (vol. 12, pg. 173) Brigham Young - Mormon Leader

MODESTY ☭

"Now, I ask all who hear me, why the learned men who are preaching salvation, say that God created the heavens and the earth out of nothing? The reason is, that they are unlearned in the things of God, and have not the gift of the Holy Ghost; they account it blasphemy in any one to contradict their idea. If you tell them that God made the world out of something, they will call you a fool. But I am learned, and know more than all the world put together." History of the Church (vol. 6, pg. 308) Joseph Smith - Founder of Mormonism

WILLFULL IMPEDIMENT ☭

"I have many a time, in this stand, dared the world to produce as mean devils as we can; we can beat them at anything. We have the greatest and smoothest liars in the world, the cunningest and most adroit thieves, and any other shade of character that you can mention. We can pick out Elders in Israel right here who can beat the world at gambling, who can handle the cards, cut and shuffle them with the smartest rogue on the face of God's foot-stool. I can produce Elders here who can shave their smartest shavers, and take their money from them. We can beat the world at any game. We can beat them, because we have men here that live in the light of the Lord, that have the Holy Priesthood, and hold the keys of the kingdom of God. But you may go through all the sectarian world, and you cannot find a man capable of opening the door of the kingdom of God to admit others in. We can do that. We can pray the best, preach the best, and sing the best. We are the best looking and finest set of people on the face of the earth, and they may begin any game they please, and we are on hand, and can beat them at anything they have a mind to begin. They may make sharp their two-edged swords, and I will turn out the Elders of Israel with greased feathers, and whip them to death. We are not to be beat. We expect to be a stumbling block to the whole world, and a rock of offence to them. Journal of Disclosures (vol. 4, pg. 77) Brigham Young - Mormon Leader

MORMONISM - FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH ☭

I feel to bless this people, and they are a God-blessed people. Look at them, and see the difference from their condition a few years ago! Brethren who have been on missions, can you see any difference in this people from the time you went away until your return? [Voices: "Yes." (lol)] You can see men and women who are sixty or seventy years of age looking young and handsome; but let them apostatize, and they will become gray-haired, wrinkled, and black, just like the Devil." Journal of Disclosures (vol. 5, pg. 332) Brigham Young - Mormon Leader

BIBLE INCORRECT...AND A BIT CHILDISH ☭

"You believe Adam was made of the dust of this earth. This I do not believe, though it is supposed that it is so written in the Bible; but it is not, to my understanding. You can write that information to the States, if you please—that I have publicly declared that I do not believe that portion of the Bible as the Christian world do. I never did, and I never want to. What is the reason I do not? Because I have come to understanding, and banished from my mind all the baby stories my mother taught me when I was a child." Journal of Disclosures (vol. 2, pg. 6) Brigham Young - Mormon Leader

ALIENS ON THE MOON...AND THE SUN ☭

"Who can tell us of the inhabitants of this little planet that shines of an evening, called the moon?... when you inquire about the inhabitants of that sphere you find that the most learned are as ignorant in regard to them as the ignorant of their fellows. So it is in regard to the inhabitants of the sun. Do you think it is inhabited? I rather think it is. Do you think there is any life there? No question of it; it was not made in vain." Journal of Disclosures (Vol. 13, Ch. 1, Pg. 271) Brigham Young - Mormon Leader

OUT OF THIS WORLD ☭

"He [Adam] was the person who brought the animals and the seeds from other planets to this world.... You may read and believe what you please as to what is found written in the Bible. Adam was made from the dust of an earth, but not from the dust of this earth." Journal of Disclosures (Vol. 3, Ch. 2, Pg. 319) Brigham Young - Mormon Leader

ADAM AND EVE WERE ALIENS ☭

"Mankind are here because they are the offspring of parents [Adam and Eve] who were first brought here from another planet, and power was given them to propagate their species" Journal of Disclosures (Vol. 7, Ch. 1, Pg. 286) Brigham Young - Mormon Leader

PHEW! ☭

"You don't know me; you never knew my heart. No man knows my history. I cannot tell it: I shall never undertake it. I don't blame any one for not believing my history." Joseph Smith - Founder of Mormonism

YOU ARE NOT WORTHY ☭

"I could explain a hundred fold more than I ever have of the glories of the kingdoms manifested to me in the vision, were I permitted, and were the people prepared to receive them." Joseph Smith - Founder of Mormonism

PARASITE ☭

"Mormonism is the pure doctrine of Jesus Christ; of which I myself am not ashamed." Joseph Smith - Founder of Mormonism

ANTI-CHRIST ☭

"Noah came before the flood. I have come before the fire." Joseph Smith - Founder of Mormonism

REMEMBER - HE IS A PROPHET! ☭

"In your hands or that of any other person, so much power would, no doubt, be dangerous. I am the only man in the world whom it would be safe to trust with it. Remember, I am a prophet!" Joseph Smith - Founder of Mormonism

JOSEPH SMITH SUPERIOR TO JESUS ☭

"I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him, but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet." (vol. 6, pp. 408-9) Joseph Smith - Founder of Mormonism

BOOK OF MORMON > THE BIBLE ☭

"I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book," (History of the Church, vol. 4, p. 461). - Joseph Smith, Founder of Mormonism
