- Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum Smith were killed by a mob in Carthage, Illinois. Join professors Casey Paul Griffiths and Scott Woodward as they travel to places in Illinois such as Nauvoo, Warsaw and Carthage. In these locations they explain the external and internal challenges the Saints were facing, such as the Nauvoo Expositor and Warsaw Signal newspapers. Casey and Scott then explain in detail what exactly happened in Carthage Jail the moments before Joseph and his brother were murdered by a mob.
Terrible human being.
I'm sorry to tell you, dear Americans, that you are the result of a deception. joseph smith was not polygamist and did not write the book of abraham...this can be seen from the church newspapers Time and season. Even the newspapers of the time declared that John Smith wrote the book of Abraham. I am correcting many lds doctrines in the book of doctrines and covenants by comparing them to the church newspapers and you can clearly see a lot of manipulation.
I can't find the real Joseph Smith Bible. May God have mercy on you because you are manipulating history and making false statements.
The only prophet to die with a gun in his hand after killing two men.
Name the two men who you claim Joseph Smith killed or admit you lied.
@@henochparks Name 10 candy bars or admit that joseph smith was an amish saul goodman
@@santbot Got caught lying! Tell us why you hate Mormons so much you lie about them like the Nazis hated and lied about Jews. Seek a good mental health care professional.
@@henochparks name one lie nazis said about Jews
@@jamesturner8603 Since it is clear you are ignorant or a Neo Nazi and do not know Nazi history The Nazis claimed Jews were subhuman and responsible for destroying the worlds economy through out history just to name two. That is why the Nazis killed six million Jews and wanted to kill 12 million more but were stopped. Do you want to kill Mormons?
At the 530 mark that building was not built until the 1850s, and the later building was not built until the 1870s or later. The Warsaw Signal or whatever it was called (it changed names often) paper, at that time, was actually down at the river at the foot of main street.
Funny how he’s the martyr, but he burned someone else’s property and tools of free speech and was rightfully punished for it? Like if someone came up to me and destroyed my phone for posting this comment, they’d go to jail. What a coward. I feel really bad for people born in to this religion. I came out of a repressive religion myself but the lies that lds was founded on are truly shocking and harmful to this day.
So Abigail...in writing, you are condoning the murder of two men who were in the custody of the State of Illinois. Even if Joseph was the kind of person you believe him to have been, are you OK with cold blooded murder? Go back to your repressive religion to get some morals. Wow
it is utterly unfathomable; makes me sick. agreed!
Praise to the man who communed with Jehovah.
Amen!
Yes, Joseph Smith and Muhammed both certainly did that.
@@wyattearpswoman838 Jehovah and Allah are not the same. Try a little harder next time
HAHA Joseph Smith never saw god or Jesus. His first vision that included both god and the father was written 18 years after the event supposedly took place. And by that time it was the 5th version.
@@outlawedmedia4336 Please tell me you’re joking. That’s not even a real argument.
I lived in Burlington, Iowa for many years. An 82 year old man was baptized while we lived there. He grew up in Warsaw. He told me he remembered as a 5 year old boy hearing the old men in town playing checkers outside a store boasting about killing Joseph Smith and his brother, Hyrum.
Smith reaped what he sowed as he boasted in the dark planting his seed to the young, old or married. Those who boasted to kill are used from the evil to join with the girls that Smith was good.
@@thereddalek6513 It sure was. Joseph Smith Jr. was finally allowed to rest from his trials and tribulations and go straight to everlasting glory with Jesus Christ and the Father.
Nothing but LDS propaganda. If you want the real story look for "The Untold Story of the Death of Joseph Smith" by Aaron Shafovaloff.
Just watched the video. It was long winded without anything of interest. Nothing in the video is unheard. Somethings are rumors somethings are well established. Please explain to me what part of THIS video is propaganda?
Propaganda? Maybe. But Bill McKeever and Robert Bushman need to update their 2006 info. Joseph was NOT a polygamist and his death was likely an inside job. Many people betrayed Joseph. Why didn't John Taylor or Willard Richards testify at the murder trial?? Did they have something to hide? Perhaps the truth is more shocking than you realize. czcams.com/video/5-iNtzo6icI/video.html czcams.com/video/F5heXE5xS5w/video.html
@@MichaelMantion seriously, these Anti Mormons are soooo PRESSED to bring down the church bc it didn’t go THEIR WAY 🙄
@@MichaelMantion The whole thing friend. Mormonism is a made up religious system. Joseph Smith was an evil man who led and continues to lead people astray from God.
@@MichaelMantion the fact that the truth is glossed over or missing. when you are ready- really look into the reasons---until then, you will only listen to your sunday school teacher who is not telling the whole story.
Great video, gives me the desire to understand and learn more come and visit these historical places.
Deep deeper about Smith pulling down girls young, old or married and you will dig up a sex maniac.
Come on now. So you saying under all that pressure that he went to the window to draw the gun fire away? Nah thats bs. He tried to run and jump out the window to save himself like anyone scared would.
Interesting how much information is manipulated to make him look like a saint.
Thank you Casey. I love this video, so complete Well done.
Satan agrees with you. Keep worshipping Smith and you also will find yourself dressed in flame.
Love this! I left church for 15 years however in 2018 I had a literal Come to Jesus moment. I felt so impressed to research my Moms family through her genealogy and all I had to work with was her maiden last name. BROWER...The very same Ariah Coates Brower who helped make the death masks of Joseph and Hyrum Smith..The Spirit of Elijah was all over my journey to learn not only about my Moms ancestors but also my Biological Fathers Italian family who are all Catholic. Worlds collided..Fast forward, I realized that MY ways were not the LORDS ways and that's exactly when my testimony of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints pierced my very soul. It feels GOOD to be HOME🙌🏼
My 5th Great Grandfather was the one who made those death masks! Thank you for this captivating video.
Hello, cousin!
That is so cool 😎
To me the death mask features do not match up with the recently discovered photograph of J. Smith. Do you have an opinion about the comparison of the two.?
Ariah Coates Brower? He's my GGGG Grandfather!
JS was killed in a gunfight at the jail. He killed two men before being killed himself. Read the history!
Really? Thats awesome! Prophet AND warrior! Joseph reminds me of prophets like Joshua and David or Captain Moroni. Epic!
@@fightingfortruth9806 bro literally is obsessed with a guy who married children
Joseph Smith didn't really die like a hero though did he? It seems to me less like a sacred "martyrdom" and more like a desperate violent affair. Rather than facing his end stoically he shot people and then died trying in a last ditch futile effort to escape out of the window.. Kind of like if Jesus instead of carrying his cross to Golgotha manically tried to stab the Roman soldiers around him with a pocket knife and then tried to sprint away only to get feathered with arrows as he tried to jump over the side of a cliff.
He tried to fight them off as a last ditch effort in self defense, and then died fighting.
I'd rather go down like that. That mob was of a very devilish background, and you defend them?
How am I defending the mob? I'm just saying that Joseph Smith's actions don't really correspond to what you would expect of someone supposedly chosen by God. More like a cornered animal than anything else. Probably for the best though the mob did finish him off, if the Mormons had come and sprung him from jail as he had actively planned and hoped for then it would have almost certainly led to a war with many deaths. He was kind of an Asshole when you look at his historical actions without the rose tinted religious lens and was more than happy to let people die on his behalf.
@@nimbledick9869 Oh, they do, he was targeted by a devilish mob. It's not the best that the mob finished him off, are you crazy? Are you some satanist or what? If he lived, he would've done everything he could to protect his people. Sure, he did act like a jerk at times, but I believe that they were excused when he started developing the LDS church. He cared more about his followers than himself, which begins a problem, but it's better than not caring about anybody.
Seems more like his goal was to set up a Haram with himself at the top, he was either severely mentally ill or actively "evil" in both the moral and religious sense. I think most likely a bit of both. Pretty much the entirety of Mormonism has been disproved through Archaeology and through the Mormon scriptures themselves which are full of anachronisms in ways that the New Testament is not. Joseph Smith had far too many convenient revelations that have made Mormonism a vehicle for abuse that has made people miserable for nearly 200 years. Satan isn't the one who questions Joseph Smith's teachings, Satan is the one who attempts to apply them.
@@cxarhomell5867 no he didn't he died running and then tried to use his Mason distress signal
Joseph was arrested because he burned down a printing press which was going to report on his polygamy.
#1The Navuoo city council ordered the press to be destroyed because it solicited rioting, an illegal act, not Joseph Smith . #2 Destroying a press, i.e. destroying property is not a capitol crime, nor is polygamy. Thus killing Joseph Smith, and Hyrum Smith and also attempting to kill Willard Richards and badly wounding John Taylor , all innocent men, is murder and attempted murder. Why kill those not on the council? Joseph Smith was under house arrest. The killers had to threaten to kill Federal troops to commit murder. The killers were Southern Freemasons who had rioted and killed anti slavers before, Joseph Smith was running for President to end slavery. He and his fellow anti slavery Mormons were targeted too. Best study up.
@@michaelparks5669That's why native Americans were used as slaves?😮
@@KathyStrickland-nh9vx are you on drugs?
@@michaelparks5669 Lots and lots. Read something other than what your church only approves of. You people are being constantly lied to. History substantiated things your church covers up.
@@KathyStrickland-nh9vx when you delete our comments.... we got it you ant mormons hate us.
To the people who believe he was trying to stop slavery, this is ridiculous because in his own teachings he taught that people with dark skin were cursed and considered them lesser and that only blond haired blued whites were pure lol. Contradiction after contradiction.
He could believe that and also be an abolitionist, Abraham Lincoln was very racist but still an abolitionist.
@@benjaminvandenberghe9726 literally not true tho, but year keep believing your prophet who married children
Joseph didn't die willingly, so can the term martyr really be used for him?
He died while trying to escape martyrdom...
@@chainsaw3577 Exactly. He also didn't die because he stood up for his beliefs, he died because he lied about his beliefs, and the people knew the truth.
@@chainsaw3577 the whole problem with Mormon history is the stories keep changing and the doctrines keep changing.
@@barbwire7449 Like any corporation, when product sales sag, the company repackages and redesigns the product...!
Where can I find a version that wasn't produced by the Mormons?
Basically a con man and polygamous pedophile was killed by a mob. Non-Mormons don’t care about it all that much.
would an outside perspective be more or less bias in your opinoin?
My 5th Great Grandfather made those death masks. It’s a really cool story!
I visited Navuoo and Carthage years ago. As I stood in that room listening to our guide I cried very sad tears. It was a deeply emotional experience for me…..watching this video I had those same emotions. Although very sad, I’m grateful for the opportunity to see it again and hear you teach us. Thank you so much.
Yes, so sad knowing the cover-up that Smith reaped what he sowed as he boasted in the dark planting his seed to the young, old or married. Those who boasted to kill him are used from the evil to join with the girls that Smith was good.
Tom Cruise should star in a film about the final days of Joseph Smith
And Bill Cosby could serve refreshments to the cast and crew...
And Warren Jeffs could be the technical advisor.
Wow! Fantastic video! Thank you for sharing this tremendous work.
I love that all of you wonderful amazing professors do what you do so we can glean more from church history and the scriptures. Thank you so much.
Yes, just like wonderful Artist that pulled Smith's head out of his dark hat and painted a lie with Smith deciphering the plates sitting up looking like a professional at a table. Smith was only a professional at seducing girls young, old or married that I see no naked truth.
Fantastic stuff. Thanks so much for doing these videos, they do a lot of good.
God said what is evil will be called good and what is good will called evil. Smith was an evil sex maniac after a good time with girls young, old or married. The mob that pulled Smith down was probably betrayed husband's and parents. This mob knew what was evil that you call good.
This is a great video for many reasons, but I want to specifically point out the high production quality! Very well done, and thanks for sharing!
The quote at 540 is Sharp's commentary below after printing a letter from a Fosters.
What happened to JS? You can fool some people sometimes, but you can't fool all the people all the time...
I m so thankful for Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum that I am bless with a strong testimony of the Book of Mormon and the true Gospel of Jesus Christ .

Remember 36-year-old Joseph Smith married 15 year old Fanny Alger behind Emma Smith's back... This is well documented. Completely disgusting!

What I didn't get is why Emma would deny that he married all those women. Was she blind? In denial? Or a liar?

@@michaelparks5669 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is it true that Joseph Smith used the Freemason distress call when the mob was upon him but none of the Freemasons in the mob would rescue him?
I am a freemason. Yes the men that killed him were southern freemasons . They were pro slavers. Joseph Smith was running for president to end slavery. the mob had killed anti slavers before. Their types killed Abraham Lincoln.
Freemasonry is different today. Many of the Founding Fathers used Masonic Lodges to ferret out the details of the Constitution in secret. Many people in the past centuries were members. Albert Pike, look him up, and others subverted what Masonry was in past centuries. Still many good people in masonry currently. They help lots of people.
Love the video, it is so adventurous! Your are such a great storyteller Professor Griffiths!

The gunshot through the door didn't hit Hyrum at his nose. Hyrum was over in the Northeast corner of the room and his back was turned to the door with his head laying next to the east wall according to the testimony and coroners letter. The gunshot in Hyrum's back produced no blood (unlike the video you played). The bullet in his back went straight through him hitting his watch but a bullet from the window would have traveled at a 90 degree angle. Hyrum according to the record would have had his back turned to the door so the gunshot to his back from the window doesn't make sense. You place Hyrum on his stomach which is correct but Willards and John say that Hyrum was on his back.
Willard Richards wasn't behind the door hinges in his testimony he is on the left of the door. No one is in the door hinges. The coroner says that Willards might have told him he was in the door hinges which contradicts Willard and John's testimony. Even in that video you have Willards switch to the left of the door with no one in the door hinges 16:25
"Dr Richards for Taylor’s cane; all sprang against the door:- the balls whistled up the stair way -[see T. and S. 598.]- and in an instant one came through the door, Joseph, Taylor and Richards sprung to the left of the door and tried to knock aside the guns of the ruffians, Hyrum was retreating back in front of the door, and snapped his pistol, when a ball struck him in the left side of his nose and he fell on his back on the floor with his head one or two feet from the north east corner of the room saying “I am a dead man.” (Historian’s Office, Martyrdom Account, Draft pages 53- 54)
"cutting away a piece of flesh from his (John Taylor) left hip as large as a man's hand, and were hindered only by my knocking down their muzzles with a stick; while they continued to reach their guns into the room, probably left handed, and aimed their discharge so far round as almost to reach us (Joseph & Willards) in the corner of the room to where we retreated and dodged, and then I recommenced the attack with my stick."
The bullet in John Taylor's wrist happened after he fell into the room according to him. John would have had his hands in front of him to crawl under the bed. There is no way a bullet would strike him in his wrist and not travel down his arm if he is facing the door. John crawled he didn't roll under the bed.
You positioned Joseph Smith wrong in the window. Joseph's right arm and leg were out of the window with his left leg and arm in the room according to William Daniels. Joseph's head was to the north and feet to the south holding onto the window with his left hand and foot. The gunshot to Joseph's right hip and thigh couldn't have come from someone shooting him in the room while he was at the window.
Willards was shot in the left earlobe. How do you explain that if he was hiding in the door hinges the whole time?
The mob does come back into the room after Joseph is placed at the well. "I was in excruciating pain. He put me in a cell and threw me under the mattress. He they may kill me...said is it possible Joseph is dead pray you may live and tell the story. they returned and found no one in the room and they absconded" (Transcript of Thomas Bullock’s Longhand Summary of
John Taylor’s Sermon, June 27, 1854)
Smith declared martial law and called out the Nauvoo Legion to rescue him... among the "mob" were disgruntled ex-Mormons as well as freemasons intent on not letting Smith escape jurisdiction as he had in Missouri and Ohio.
Those in Nauvoo who recalled the Legion may well have had a hand in Smith's death.
@@chainsaw3577 You mean escaped jurisdiction by being declared not guilty for the same crime twice already? I guess they must not have had double jeopardy yet. As Mayor, there wasn't anyone with authority to reverse Marshal Law or recall the Legion, if Joseph Smith Jr. had called them. Clearly he did not. He knew exactly what was going to happen to him, and left it in God's hands. Reading the books he so believed in for comfort, the Bible and The Book Of Mormon.
Wonderful video. Thank you dear for putting this together.
Oh my goodness. So well done. Thank you for the inspiring message - I can’t deny either the experiences I’ve had and the feelings I’ve felt and the thoughts I’ve had. Thank you, Joseph and Hyrum. Thank you Emma and family.
There's no thank you Smith in Hell only torment.
"Every man and woman must have the certificate of Joseph Smith, junior, as a passport to their entrance into the mansion where God and Christ are." Joseph Smith, October 9, 1859. In fact, Joseph Smith does NOT have the authority to forgive your sins and let you go to God's heaven. No, he DOES NOT have the authority. Even the Pope doesn't have the authority to forgive your sins. You get forgiveness from Lord Jesus Christ, the One who died on the cross (that he died for YOUR SINS) and three days later he rose from the dead. Joseph Smith was a false prophet, you can visit his grave but Jesus' grave isn't there because He is alive and sitting on His throne in Heaven.
Finally the truth is spoken! He doesn’t speak on Joseph Smiths many wives. Youngest 14. He had multiple wives so he could have sex when he was away from home. His wife had boyfriends. The so called prophets know this. Just like the Boy Scout leaders abused boys and the prophets covered it up. Don’t make the mormans out to be something they are not. Joseph would have been took care of as soon as he would have looked at my 14 year old daughter. Then you show pictures of him that look nothing like him.
Totally unbiased
Because anyone who has ever tried to keep someone from entering a room doesn't know that opening it gives them the advantage? Saying he opened the door, when all those men were on the other side, is amazing. They would have been in that room had that actually happened.
Great and thank you for this presentation, very informative. I know there's always speculation but thanks for keeping it real.
@@Outdoorsguy1212 Thank goodness he Joseph was the real thing then.
Real lies are increasing now days.
Playing stupid games wins you stupid prizes.
That applies to you too, kid.
2,000 year ago the religious establishment tortured and murdered their own God for not having the “correct” theology. Prophets don’t stand a chance!
“If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.”
- John 15:18-20
Except they did NOT seem to be killed for their religious beliefs, but rather for their treason and violence.
@@archangel_one I’m sorry but you are mistaken. Throughout Joseph Smith’s life he was repeatedly beaten to a pulp, poisoned, imprisoned and forced to listen to tales of slaughter and rape, and even fed the human flesh of dead saints before he was eventually murdered in a 100:4 men ambush. As for treason, those allegations were a joke and desperate last-ditch attempt of his enemies to seek a legitimate death penalty. When that failed they chose murder instead. That is a martyr of biblical proportions.
Is there any accounts of any of the mobsters involved in this assassination? Any diaries? Anybody got arrested?
A great book documenting these events and the trial afterward which led to no convictions is called "The Carthage Conspiracy" by a young Dallin Oaks.
@@Outdoorsguy1212 Could you state your reference for this statement? According to several references cited in the book I referenced, there may have been 3 wounded after his gun misfired a few times, but no deaths recorded. There was a trial with five people of the mob indicted, but no one was convicted or held accountable for the murders of Joseph and Hyrum.
Also- There is a book I read a few years ago- "The Fate Of The Persecutors Of The Prophet Joseph Smith". Excellent source!
I will never be able to go there in this life. I'm glad to have gone there with this video. Thank you brother Joseph and Hyrum
You’ll see them in hell. Believe in Jesus as Lord and Savior who gave His life for your sins on a rugged cross. Repent I say!!!!!!

Joseph Smith was a true prophet of Jesus Christ, martyred to seal his testimony. I believe.
@@gemmeerobinson1803 thanks for helping fulfill prophecy. God told Joseph Smith Jr., “your name shall be had for good and evil in all the world.” Woe unto you and your family.

Ye go to strange men and women to learn doctrine rather than those who are OPEN IN PLAIN DAYLIGHT! Woe unto you.
Why on earth did you watch this? Seriously though, so many leave the Church, BUT THEY JUST CANT LEAVE THE CHURCH ALONE.
I’m so grateful for these videos: Thank you 🙏.
These two "historians" and their dramatizations almost make me want to cuss. What silliness this is ! Dramatic music playing, soft dramatic words supposedly spoken while all this confusion is going on. Hyrum shot many times through a second story window while he is in the middle of the room? Are you kidding me? Joseph firing a gun 6 times with a single loader gun? Why did you leave out how they got their guns. Why didn't you talk about the liquor that was provided them which they drank and felt mellow? Well, you characters have a master to serve, which is the almighty church, and had to make this event almost as earth shattering and spiritual as the crucifiction of Jesus. Joseph Smith is the greatest charlatan in American history, and the church continues with his lies.
Well said

Once again, thank you brethren. That was beautifully and poignantly done. I appreciate all of your work.
Satan smiles at his deceived.
Says it all (6 seconds into video) in the first image on the wall of the jail. It displays the upsidedown stars which is symbolic of the baphamet pentagram.
Very true. Even their imagery was stolen from free masonry a satanic founding. They don't have the cross because none of their belief system is based on Christ.
No wonders why when they came to Utah. The arm them self to the teeth. And declare war on those who want them dead. It was the last time they were gonna be abused and chased away
How many wife do he have ?

The attack against Church leaders (Joseph Smith in particular) at Carthage was a political assassination as much as anything. Governor Ford of Illinois didn't like the fastest growing city (with more permanent bldgs. than Chicago at the time) being guided by a charismatic abolitionist. The Saints were known for voting in block and were buying land in Illinois and Iowa placing them strategically on both sides of the Mississippi. They were poised for phenomenal growth.
After being advised by the President of the United States to protect themselves, Joseph formed the Nauvoo Legion which immediately became the largest and most well equipped militia in Illinois. They were never deployed.
Thank you both so much! I love learning motor about the background of the history! ❤️🇨🇦
So far you have not said why he was killed!! Major failure!!!
Wonderful presentation! Thank you so much!
Why would people not believe in someone's visions? Very sad to murder because of someone's beliefs. I believe people say when they say they had a vision. That's sad to kill innocent Christians.
i think bc not all visions is of God, no offense
He was murdered because he started an immoral sex cult. Smith started his sex cult when slavery was abolished in the US
Women who couldn't pay their bills in those times were also enslaved. SMITH started a sex cult implemented marring multiple wives and enslaved them to precreat to have his cult grow as fast as possible claimed to the Gov the multiple wives was his religion. He ran around and took married women and also child brides he was pedifile by the way after the mobbed killed him most of the women left. So good to reason they were held by threats and abused and how could get help Smith was the Mayor. So the angry mob was assebl3d by men who had wives smith stole and took as his own and held captive or their children he marred and held captive ___ I'm not what' the fascination is with smith life and glorifying him his life and death spending money on statues of smith morning of his death and studying his lif3 ___;we got video after video of Smith glorifying him as the son of God. Taken the place of Christ. If a org people celebrating and glorifying a man thwt started a sex cult and was pedifile your going to attract pedifiles and folks with mental problems thats what cult attrack woth bizzare teachings. Smith had to isolate his group then ipliment the bizzare teaching of multiple wives and child bridew as coming from God. So the folks he gathered had mentwl illness or he abused them used fear tatics to threats and abuse to keep these women and others assembled. His type of behavior was not accepted. Again not sure why the church glorifies his life . Smith ordered the printing press to be burnt because they were exposing him. So Smith knew what he was doing was wrong not only did he have knowledge it was wrong but he didn't want outside his caged area what he was doing making it avaliable to him to leave his camp go out and either capture girls or manipulated other women up to his isolated sex cult. And was their people inside the printing press when he ordered it burnt down ...?. He was violent and used threats.AND WAS manipulating and basically a criminal. The book of Mormon was written while smith was in jail so are we saying Smith ordered the printing press to be burnt because they were exposing his immorality and pedifile sex cult he was running then God cam3 to him while he was jail to write the Book of Mormon to glorify Joseph Smith ?..?
Why is the background music so much louder than the guides' testimony? Which is more important?
Yes
I have not seen any contemporary first person evidence that JS or HS taught polygamy. Could you share that info?
Their prophet at the time, went across their journey many men died leaving masses of women without a husband, their prophet said God told him and it was okay to marry more than one wife for a period of time so they had provision. It was not meant to be ongoing practice
Where are the gold tablets?
Never was any.
Now c'mon. I strive to listen to things objectively but they said that Hiram was shot IN THE FACE and then in the back and fell. He then managed to utter that this was the death of him 😐 How... How was he still having a conversation after he was shot in the face - his nose area to be more precise..
Well done, wonderful video, thank you for making this and sharing it with us.
Most Mormon leaders are volunteers and those who serve missions pay out of their own pocket. What do they do with all that money?
Thank you for taking the time to make this. We enjoyed it!
Satan say's the same thing. Is Satan your Father?
Satan enjoyed also with Smith eternally doomed.
How did he stay alive as long as he did?
Water Bug. Joseph stayed long enough to accomplish the mission Jesus tasked him to do. He organized a church with 6 members and established the Standard of Truth:
“The Standard of Truth has been erected; no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done.”
Joseph Smith Jr.
Running from the law and accountability, on the money and blood of his adherants.
One day we will know the truth of all things.

About 30 years ago a 12-year-old Deacon came up to the podium in a fast and testimony meeting and spoke of his family’s summer vacation to Nauvoo. While there they visited the Carthage Jail. This boy said, “I stood on the spot where Joseph Smith died by the well and I felt happy there.” Then he closed his testimony and went back to sit with his family. I thought, “Why on earth would he feel happy while standing on the spot where the Prophet died?!” At that moment the Spirit whispered to me, “That spot is hallowed ground. There are angels there.”
I have yet to visit the Carthage Jail, but I hope to someday. When I do, I will stand on the hallowed ground where the prophet died, I will feel the presence of angels and I will feel happy there.
And he felt the presence of Angels because I'm sure they were there waiting for Joseph to take his spirit into Paradise. I'm sure they still hover there at times, visiting as we do.
@@brianmccutcheon3205 You know this how? A spirit whispered to you? Or maybe it was you gleaning truths from CZcams? 🤣 Or believing what YOUR preacher tells you to believe? Or maybe you're old enough to have met Joseph Smith? Wow, what's your secret?
@@haroldcounts7460 Basically as hallowed as the cross that many Christian churches hallow.
They were fallen Angels to deceive like Smith my confused one.
Lol keep dreaming
this is a major slay casey paul griffiths
"Casey and Scott then explain in detail what exactly happened in Carthage Jail" ... mm they were there?
As a child I believed what I was taught about Joseph Smith, Christopher Columbus and Santa Clause. I don’t believe those things anymore.
Uh, Joseph Smith and Christopher Columbus were real people. Joseph Smith was a true Prophet of God as well. The Book of Mormon is another witness of Jesus Christ being the Son of God and I have received a witness from God of its authenticity. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is God's and Jesus Christ one and only true church here on earth. Join God and Jesus Christ in their Kingdom and join their true church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and learn all that they have to offer. Learn of their glory and mercy, learn of the plan they have of you.
Nice! Your truth is treasure that Smith never found.
@@gemmeerobinson1803Joseph Smith Jr. was only hired to hunt for treasure because he had already found the Golden Plates, though he hadn't been permitted by the angel to take them yet. And the treasures he found were laid up in heaven. Greater treasures than you will ever know, unless you smarten up and repent.
@@bartonbagnes4605 There was no Golden Plates. There was no Book of Abraham from a dead Egyptian burial papers. There is no planet named Konob that God keeps girls pregnant forever. There's no one that lives on Mars taller than quakers. God is not flesh but spirit. Smith is not in Heaven. There were no battles proven that Smith said did. All the battles in the Bible proven. Smith was full deceitfulness. He deceived girls old and young in bed. He married other guys wives secretly preaching girls panties off.
Now here you are here preaching I'm wrong for hating snake bites. Smith is in Satan's brimstone bed having a hot time. I hope you don't intrude.
Nice video and very informative!
I know Joseph Smith was and a true prophet of God. Truth is truth and you can’t take away or add anything to it. Of course people will say whatever they want to say and believe in but I can’t deny what I know to be true and reveal over and over by the Holy Ghost to me. I know God lives. I know Jesus is the Christ and the Holy Ghost is real. I’ll do all I can to defend these truths even if it cause my life. I love this gospel and forever proud member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Thank you for posting these videos. Keep up the great work and will continue to support your work.
🙄 IF he was, and an example of the behavior that God endorses, then I certainly want nothing to do with that god. However, I'm pretty sure you just have no idea the extent of his ugly history that is well-documented. In a sermon in 1844, Joseph Smith explained how he was greater than Jesus, Paul, Peter--everyone since Adam--since no one had held a church together like he did. He was a deceiver and a criminal, and then he had himself crowned King of the Earth. Having something revealed to you by a spirit or an angel in no way proves that it is the _Holy_ Spirit or a _holy_ angel. Many spirits have gone out into the world, and the Bible already names the actual ruler of this world. Joseph died in a prison gunfight where his own party was returning fire. That is like the humble self-sacrifice of Jesus or the martyrdoms of the Prophets and Apostles of old? Hardly. I pray that you will wake up to a greater truth that the church has always been trying to hide, despite 2 Corinthians 13:5 with a test in verse 8.
You flatter Smith like the wives of other husbands wouldn't do that married Smith secretly. Your a nasty Lady.
The BOM is like a dog tick sucking out the blood of Jesus saves. How can you say Jesus is real honoring a Cult that has a false Jesus?
@@ReluctantPostWow. What ignorance you have. In that one aspect Joseph Smith Jr. spoke truth. As he also did the many times he called himself nothing in the sight of God. The Book Of Mormon proves it is of God, for it condemns everything to do with Satan, and encourages to follow God and Jesus Christ's teachings. As Jesus Christ put it "If Satan fights against Satan, how then shall his house stand?" The Book Of Mormon fights against Satan, so it cannot be from Satan.
@@bartonbagnes4605 It certainly does not, and yes, it can be. What does the Scripture say--that satan presents himself as an angel of darkness or an angel of light? Those who were witnesses to the Book of Mormon _all_ later denied that Doctrine and Covenants are scripture, yet somehow their testimony in that carries no weight while it is supposed to be accepted in the first instance. The history and fruits of the LDS church are more than proof of its profoundly deceptive nature. What did Jesus and the Apostles teach and live out regarding wealth, for example? The opposite. What did they teach and live out about honesty? The opposite. What did they teach and live out about violence against one's enemies? Precisely the opposite of JS, Jr. and his Danites as well as Brigham Young, even founding Utah as being pro-slavery as its governor. The LDS stands in utter contrast to the teachings of the actual Jesus (not a pro-created son from a god mother nor brother of Lucifer) as well as to the teachings of the earliest Christian writings in both doctrine and lifestyle. Jude 3-4; Phil. 3:17-19
What an incredible job you’ve done with explaining and recreating this event. Certainly something our family appreciates
Satan agrees, Nice Whitewash!!
Yeah! Smith was a true Poopit.
May God have mercy on us all ,amen!
How did a prisoner have a gun?
He was under house detainment pending an investigation. not a prisoner.
@@michaelparks5669 He was in Carthage jail arrested for a capital offense. That is not house arrest. They even have tours there.
@@yolandaotto2117 You are ignorant. #1 The Nauvoo city council shut down the press. Not Joseph Smith. #2 They had the right to do so if the press intended to incite riot. Which it did #3 Destroying a press is not a capitol offense. Clearly you know nothing of law. #4 Smith was under arrest in a upper room of a building pending an investigation. #5 The mob killed and attempted to kill men who were not even related to the alleged charge. #6 The mob were Southern Masons who were proslavery. Smith and the Mormons were anti Slavery. in fact Joseph Smith was running for President to end slavery. #7 The mob had stop Mormons from voting anti slavery . #8 They had killed anti slavers before and announced they were going to drive the Mormons out. Best study up.
This did not come off as historical
Yet everything in it is historical fact, though they left out some details that would make the mob look even worse.
Great video thank you! Where is the new Carthage video clips from? Thanks
Those were some pretty unusual times back then.
So interesting, thank you. ❤️ very brave men.
This is such HOGWASH! There is no way that this happened in any way, shape or form. I really encourage you guys to watch "Who Killed Joseph Smith." This documentary is really interesting and i think it shows a more accurate account of what took place in that Jail.
It was an inside job for sure.
Liar
@@mikedaprice6220 "Inside job for sure"
Thus the yell of Masonic code phrases by Joseph when he went to the window and raised his arm to the square ... "O Lord My God" is a Masonic cry for mercy / help ...
It has been widely speculated that the men in the "mob" were actually Masons angry that Joseph had included their secret handshakes as "signs and tokens" in our own "endowment" among many other stolen masonic rituals ... stealing and revealing their Masonic secrets was a criime puniishable by deatth ... so they made Joseph pay the price ...
Hey man. Thanks for mentioning that documentary about who killed Joseph Smith. You used the word "hogwash" for this video which I very much viewed as PR a video for the LDS church.
I watch the documentary and it was very compelling. I liked all the theories which were presented. Katherine's testimony about an event prior to JS death is especially important. I have never heard her words before when I was a church member. LDS Witholding??. Then you add notes from the coroner and some other puzzle pieces. It makes for a compelling theory. I believe it. Men seeking power can do awful things. If you haven't seen it, maybe you want to watch the documentary, " Who killed Joseph Smith"???? It is on CZcams and it is about 1 hour and 30 something minutes long. Thanks again.
@@ralphwiggam7630 What garbage you spill. . The men in the crowd were pro slavery. Some were Masons. The issue was the pro slavers were looking for an excuse to end the Mormons who were anti slavery. Tell us which secret Masonic rites are LDS Temple rites. Are you a Mason? No you are a fake
Wow. They actually admitted Joseph was armed. I remember a time when the people around me would leave that part out.
Do you have a problem with that? That every single detail in every single story isn’t given in perfect detail at all times? It sounds like you were lazy in learning about it. Wouldn’t YOU want to be armed if you knew you had a 95% chance of being attacked?
@tylerfielding5311 Lazy? Have you ever been a member of this church? Have you ever had your church history books taken by church leadership to screen them? Do you think any of the material mentioned he was armed in the 90s, 2000s? Do you think CZcams existed back then?The point is that the crowd was shot into, and they don't mention it often. It is a very important detail. It's a detail that changes the perception of him. It's fine to defend yourself, but he is not on par with early church martyrs. It's important to tell the whole truth.
ad hominem attack? Yeah pretty lazy argument.@@tylerfielding5311
I'm sorry to tell you, dear Americans, that you are the result of a deception. joseph smith was not polygamist and did not write the book of abraham...this can be seen from the church newspapers Time and season. Even the newspapers of the time declared that John Smith wrote the book of Abraham. I am correcting many lds doctrines in the book of doctrines and covenants by comparing them to the church newspapers and you can clearly see a lot of manipulation.
I can't find the real Joseph Smith Bible. May God have mercy on you because you are manipulating history and making false statements.
I saw that decades ago, it's just schools are very cringe about details alas.
Where's the museum that has all the artifacts from the nephites and Jeradites? The armor, weapons, the battlements?
I think the Danites/Daughters of Zion took them home, maybe?
Chariot wheels, horse bones (600 BC), steel foundries, steel mines, jewish ancestry in Native Americans... You know. Stuff that would be really easy to find.
@@harroldhenderson If it helps, I think I've found evidence for the Land of Morons.

Very well done video
this vid is dope, love the production quality
When all that's in a town is a Tavern, a Church, and a General Store - You use the Tavern as the meeting place for a mob - EVERYBODY drank back then, tavern or not; you try farming with your hands for 20 years
When Joseph went to the window, he called outside to the men assembled below, "Oh Lord My God"...which was the beginning of the Masonic Sign of Distress which he did not complete because they killed him. Otherwise they would have been duty bound to help him.
Also you need to speak about the vivid flash of light that struck down the mobster raising his knife to mutilate the prophets' body as it laid by the well. Many of the mobsters saw it and witnessed the knife wielder become paralyzed.
I think that lightning story was actually disproven in court
Any thing that was said about that the courts disproved
I understand more so, than I ever did before, of the tremendous cost in Blood, Sweat, and Tears to bring The Book of Mormon to the knowledge of the people. The past few days, I have religiously studied to the end of The Book of Mormon (next are the Books of Ether then Moroni). I have come to appreciate as to the depth of power that flows out of this remarkable volume of Holy Scripture and into my personal life. Thus giving me the impetus for personal change. As I study more and more, I learn greater and greater. Quite literally propelling myself via Heavenly Fathers TARDIS to these highly blessed days, of the early Restored Church.
And unfortunately we have to be prepared to protect ourselves families loved ones community from evil forces to know and to be more determined than your enemies...
I pray god will heal all mormons and they will understand how they have been deceived
theyre fine dude. Theyre just stricter Christians.
@@Kman3773 with a false prophet...they are not stricter Christians
@@jenniferboht961 you make false claims then hide your erroneous posts.
@@michaelparks5669 I rewrote it because it was not clearly written...no errors and nothing hidden
@@michaelparks5669 but while you are talking about false claims...where the temple on temple lot that Joseph Smith prophesied about or the American government being destroyed if they didn't fix the wrong of Missouri?
Fate of the Persecutors by Joseph's mother. It does list those involved and the gruesome deaths they suffered before their deaths. There was also a bounty on Joseph's head from Missouri. Joseph was never charged in Missouri of treason not did they get their day in court. They were constantly threatened. And once they were able to get free of Liberty Jail, then Missouri somehow put a bounty on his head as fugitive from justice. But there was never any charges leveled against Joseph. In fact those calling for Joseph's blood in Missouri was warned against killing Joseph without due process.
Casey and Scott: thank you for this beautiful video about this sublimely important thing. 💛🙏🏼
Casey I really like the way you teach amd enjoy all your videos
Wow, the hate remains strong. Why do opponents of the LDS church care so much?
maybe because the jig is up and the truth needs to be said over that huge voice of cult members.
Because toxic teachings need to be removed from our society.
They know it's true in their hearts.
@@itsdutchintime1907not true
There are some details left out here about this Joseph's death.
He did burn down the expositor.
I hope the Lord was there with Joseph and Hiram and took them to heaven.
@@brianmccutcheon3205 go home
Joanne Marconi he definitely took them both home ( back to heaven) to rest!
@@lisapaige6530 They are there watching the fruits of their labors. The church that started with 6 souls has grown into a worldwide church of 16.5 million members. He was truly a prophet of God. By their fruits ye shall know them.
