But can someone tell me something about the Reformed Church a.k.a. Community of Christ. Is it better than LDS ? Not as sinister ?
And what about the Strangites? They are to "normal mormons" as "normal mormons" are to the rest of christianity - a strange offshoot. The Strangites are the "mormons" of the mormons so to speak.
For an Angel helped James Strang to find the Brass Plates whereof he wrote the Book of Laban. Then he was crowned at Beaver Island to King of the World and ruled 12000 subjects . . . and pirates.

Since the RLDS Church (Community of Christ) still believes in the Book of Mormon, and an entire Bible rewritten by Joseph Smith, they're just as wacky, if not more so. If you believe anything that's obviously false or made up, then it's either because you're ignorant of the facts and keeping yourself that way, or something else is keeping you that way. In the case of the latter, both Churches try to keep misinformation at a high...I mean how do you think the members would react to hear that Joseph was a convicted con man before beginning his writing...er...translation of the Book of Mormon?
The Strangites sound worse than the other two. I say leave it be. Stick to reason, my good man.
