I know the real Joseph Smith.
Don't believe everything Joe Smith wrote.

If you profess belief in the version of Joseph Smith's first visitation PENNED in his OWN hand you WILL be excommunicated because the official LDS required for membership version is DIFFERENT.

The problem was, the Joe Smith personally written up version was mislaid and was not discovered until the 1960's in the church archives. And obviously, the LDS hierarchy couldn't change their requirements by then. And it is DIFFERENT.

It is not that different. There are more than two and Joseph Smith did not use the same wording every time he gave an account of the first vision. The white salamander letter is a proven fake.
