Why does it always end up about sex? When people believe you are a prophet and you take a liken to another man's wife or daughter, no problem, get a revelation from God and take her for your own.  Both Muhammad and Joseph did it.  One of Muhammad's wives was only six years old.  Joseph Smith claimed many young teenagers who were easily brainwashed.  He dreamed up a means by which he could be sealed to other men's wives in a "celestial" marriage and still allow them to continue to be married to the present husband on earth.  This polyandry business was a clever invention by Smith.  Many of these men went on to practice similar polygamist marriages themselves.  The bible story about Abraham having sex with his wife's maid (Gen. 16) which turned out to be a nightmare, Joseph Smith put a new spin on it in Doctrine and Covenants (132:34-35) claiming that it was actually God's idea.  This was Smith's way of convincing his followers that what he was ...

The MORMON NEGRO BLESSED OR CURSED? by Dale Brown Prior to June 9, 1978 when Mormon president Spencer W. Kimball had a revelation that granted blacks the priesthood, they had a serious problem in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Unless you were of the chosen race "white and delightsome" like it’s founders, you were considered "loathsome" and cursed with "a skin of blackness"(1 Nephi 12:23). In fact the Book of Mormon teaches "cursed shall be the seed of him that mixeth with their seed; for they shall be cursed even with the same cursing"(2 Nephi 5:21-23). Mormon scripture claims that the virgin Mary was "exceedingly fair and white" (1 Nephi 11:13). The church was founded during a time of much civil unrest in America. The debates over black slaves ultimately led to the war between the northern and southern states. There was much bigotry, some of which spilled over into the religious arena. The Book of Mormon, ...

La Voz looking like a Mormon publication.  Full color front cover article and two articles inside, one which offers English language lessons at a Pasco LDS church.  With Kennewick, Washington having its own Mormon temple and dozens of churches in the area they are making a desperate effort to reach the increasing Hispanic population.  Thousands of Hispanics have been drawn to the Columbia River basin as a result of large agricultural businesses in the need for farm labor.  If the LDS church can only get these people paying tithes and wearing magic underwear they can get a temple recommend and get them performing temple rituals for dead ancestors in effort to get them into Mormon heaven.  A perfect business model for the Mormon empire.  They are not likely going to tell them right away that the Mormon Jesus is the Devil's brother or that they should strive to become gods.  That would blow their cover.

Melchizedek is one of those mysterious characters in the bible that cults like to have fun with.  He first appears in Genesis 14:17-20 where Abram (later called Abraham) returns from a battle and Melchizedek, the king and priest of Salem, blesses him with bread and wine.  Abraham in return offers him a tenth of the spoils of war.  The fact that Abraham paid him this tithe shows his respect for this mysterious priest of the Most High.  Then by the priest honoring Abraham with a blessing of bread and wine suggests his spiritual superiority over Abraham.  The New Testament picks up on this theme where this priestly king is compared to Jesus who abides a priest forever or perpetually (Heb. 7:1-3). One might note that kings and priests are two different offices in the bible and only Jesus, and this mysterious Melchizedek fit the picture. The Mormon claim is that Joseph Smith restored a Melchizedek priesthood to the church which they claim had disappeared some tim...
