Poetry - Road to Recovery

[phil_a_lethes]

I Fervently Searched, Pondered and Prayed
And was Heart Brokened in so many ways
(almost to the brink of Suicide)
And have come to the conclusion that Joseph Smith has deceived me,
in so many ways….

Numerous First Vision Versions,
Was it an Angel, God the father, Jesus or Both?

Seer Stones in Hats and Jupiter Talismans,
Deprived of these stories as a youth is morally wrong.
(Book of Mormon stories that my teacher failed to teach to me)

Choose the Right – Follow the prophet Joseph who lied about Polygamy and sealed this doctrine with his life. (Huh?)

Polygamy, Angels with Swords and 14 year-old brides,
Eternal Increase and Never Endless Eternal Wives....
Plus marrying other men’s wives.

Non-Existent Gold Plates, False Kinderhook plates,
Masonic Rituals and Biblical Scriptures Plagiarized

Adam-God theory, Blood Atonement…
and the Mountain Meadows Massacre.

Then there's the Book of Abraham...
Nothing more than an Egyptian "Book of Breathings"
Nothing to do with father Abraham...
Just another part of Joseph's Grandest SCAM!!!

No more pay, pray and obey
from now on I'll rely upon DNA to show me the way.

Search, Ponder and Pray
Then close your eyes and run away,
You won’t have eyes to see what Joseph Smith has done,
Just keeping praying and paying until your pocket is bare,
You’ll get a refund in eternity if Joseph lied to you here.

I do not think Jospeh is currently collecting the money, hummm wonder who is?
I have a friend who shared with me, how stunned she was when she found that her ex mormon husband had been harassing (that part did not surprise her) the wives of his friends, he was even putting into court record motions, which stated his friend was not really married to the woman he was harassing, this friend had committed BIGOMY. The Mormon church leaders thought nothing of this. Said the ex was a faithful temple worthy fellow.
