  As a 44 year old man who was born and raised in the LDS church and left it at the age of 30, I have struggled with my leaving of the church because I really believed it was true. I found my way back to Jesus of the Bible about 4 years ago, but I still quarrel with my boy-hood beliefs knowing that the information I have gained in manhood, which is contrary to my beliefs as a boy, are true. <br><br>And even though that has sent my life into a place of total chaos spiritually, I am in constant seeking, prayer and supplication for more truth to make the quarrels less tiresome to my soul. <br><br>Thanks for making this video brother

  To say there is so much hypocrisy within the LDS church, the teachings and the actions throughout the entire church history- is an understatement.

  I love it when Mormons say &apos;the Expositor called for mob violence!&apos; but they can&apos;t ever say where that is on the page.

  It’s interesting that they denounced and destroyed it but today the church uses it , cites it, as a source.

  Excellent video about a highly consequential newspaper. &nbsp;I recently bought a copy of the one and only issue of the Nauvoo Expositor (published June 7, 1844), which is reprinted by Edina Publishers and available for $6.99 from Amazon. &nbsp;A key issue addressed by William Law and his other co-publishers is Joseph Smith&apos;s false doctrine of plural Gods (as articulated in his infamous King Follett Discourse) -- a doctrine that the Expositor calls &quot;one of the most direful in its effects that has characterized the world for many centuries. &nbsp;We know not what to call it other than blasphemy, for it is most unquestionably, speaking of God in an impious and irreverent manner.&quot; &nbsp;I highly recommend that anyone interested in the life, teachings, and death of Joseph Smith read the Nauvoo Expositor.

  Whether Muhammad or Smith, the ones who suffer are the same - women and children. <br>The same three goals in every cult -s*x, money, and power. <br><br>Thank you for showing the portions of The Expositor. I like to pause the video and read all I can. It would be wonderful if you could attach an entire publication or articles that we could read. I find historical documents fascinating.

  Oooo very excited to watch the video!! Thank you for exploring this topic! I’ve always wondered what possessed them to burn the press down – reading the newspaper always felt so inaccessible so this is great! 🙌

  I am not sure we will ever know for sure what the youngest any of the girls were at the time of smith and the gang. After seeing Koresh and Jeffs I can only speculate into a place of making me sick to my stomach...
