Attacks on the character of Joseph Smith seemed to me as critising anyone else's flaws (he who is without sin, let him throw the first stone). I recognise that he was not perfect, but he was not as vile and repulsive as many anti-Mormon literature would love to present it. A good reference to critics and to investigators showing that, though not perfect, he DID what he claimed to do, i.e., get the golden plates, translate them by the power of God. I could understand that, if JS was a good man and he did what he claimed to do, most people would come to know that there was a prophet among them (there is still one) and they rejected him.<BR/><BR/>AlexGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
