There is a problem with this video near the 2 minute mark... Not only did Joseph Smith Jr get hired on by Stowell/Stoal, but so did his father, Smith Sr. Why is that being left out? Both names are on the contract, both were being paid.

Isaac got my relatives into mormonism. They were most likely one of the families that lived on this plot. This was between 1835-1841.

He is my great great great grandfather I don’t know exactly how many generations back he goes

He must have been ashamed.

Wonderful presentation. FYI: After the standing book press you show the lying press. This was not for cutting off the edges. This was to saw 5 notches in the very edge. This was to create small holes in which to stitch the pages together. The pages were cut with a plane a plow AFTER they were sewn together.

Wow! Prayers.

❤❤❤ Woooow! Praise Jesus! Prayers.

I dont remember hearing this before. Now i want to go there 🙂

Thank you.

I was walking in the forest one day and poof I found a big 🧩 piece 🧩 of marble with 💩💩💩 on them and a magic lantern,. I rubbed the lantern and wwaaalaaaa magic underwear 🩲😅🤡 popped out with magic tokens and instructions for secret handshakes so I am a profit now. But I must go to the moon and get profit from the eight foot tall people on the moon who dress like pilgrims, I figure they are bigger so I'll profit size 20 percent from them.

Magic underwear secret handshakes secret tokens Boloni didn't bury jack 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩 made up fairy tale. Have to be a sorry idiot to fall for this Boloni hahaha 🤡🤡🤡 hahaha Moronmen

Neat

I have to hand it to the LDS church, you sure know how to play the victim card. The reason he was tarred and feathered was because he was screwing around with the little girls. What you failed to mention is that there was a doctor there to castrate him. I can't remember why that didn't happen. If it had happened, everyone would have been a lot better off. Smith went on lying and screwing other men's wives and young girls. He caused problems everywhere he went. Now, look where the corporation is. Making billions of dollars a year and still guilt tripping people into drinking their Kool-Aid. Thank goodness for COVID, for the first time in Mormon history, families actually stayed home and took care of each other. They spent hundreds of hours on the internet finding out the real history of Mormonism. Thank you Jesus! Get these people out of this horrible cult!

Joseph Smith would hide money and steal tools and livestock to get his dupes to believe in his "finding hidden treasures." His adventure with Stowell wasn't yet finished, and his son (nephew?) Horace saw that Smith would bankrupt his gullible father and filed charges on Smith. The author claims "acquitted" but Smith was required to pay court cost - meaning he had lost the case. An off-record agreement was likely made where Smith was to leave the jurisdiction in exchange for a guilty verdict. Josiah Stowell represents a man who wants to be deceived in his quest for greater riches, as the men narrating and appearing in this film.

I'm descended from Isaac Morley. The Mormon religion is a terribly negative force in the world, filled with subjugation of women, male (and white) superiority, and crazy superstitions. Old grandpa Morley was a crackpot.

I love this story. My 5th great grandfather was Newel Knight through his son Samuel.

I notice that all of the “Prophets” are white men

Joe was caught messing around with the 17yr old daughter and they had a doctor their to cut his balls off, because he was sleeping around, now tell the truth, lies lies and lies, Mormons lies......

Joseph Knight Sr. was coerced and shamed into being baptized, with threats of going to hell if he did not. Joseph Smith Jr. is a documented liar who also STOLE Joseph Knight Sr.'s wagon when hunting the golden plates The plates are total trash BS. I do not think there is any way that Joseph Knight Sr. would have gone along for the ride if he knew that Joseph Smith Jr. was hurting children such as the teenage wives and wives of other men; who all were also coerced and shamed. Shame on Joseph Smith Jr. And shame on Joseph Knight Sr. for going along with it. Shame on all you commenting here without being honest.

still, its worth the investment of a few minutes for any homeschooled mormon history buff. its even amusing at times.

this video skips so very much of the most important and interesting span of brighams pre-mormon life (1801-1832).

The only monument in the world built to honor a pedophile.

Thank you. I have had the privilege of visiting such a sacred place. It means so much to me. 💛😇

stoned out his mind no doubt and vehemently hounded by demons, joseph records that he has received the plates, which in turn begins to lead millions to a slippery slope called HELL.

Thank you for your kind efforts and in sharing the 3 parts. We will be serving as a missionary couple in the Ohio historic sites mid- October. 🤩🌺💕

Joe was a predator! He took almost 50 married woman from their husbands to marry him! Many were young teenagers, Sisters and a mother and daughter duo! Gross! He truly was demonically anointed.

Seems that the church needs to reroof that building. The shingles are looking worn.

This is mostly a very nice video with deep insights into Joseph Smith and Josiah Stowell. However, at the 12:22 mark, Anthony Sweat's painting of Joseph looking into a hat is blasphemous. Please redo the video and delete this scene. Joseph and Oliver always said that the translation was done with the Urim and Thummim--a device given to the brother of Jared and handed down through the generations to Moroni and Joseph Smith. At the 7:47 mark, a sign is displayed stating, "Joseph Smith in 1827 dug for and claimed to find some of the plates for the Mormon Bible 1/2 mile up this creek." This sign is in the Afton, New York Barn Museum. I called the Afton Historical Society at 607-693-1408. The lady said that this sign was located between Afton and Ninevah, NY (5 miles downstream on either highway 7 or 26) by a creek that drained into the Susquehanna River. It was removed because the sign was grossly incorrect. The plates were located in the hill Cumorah near Palmyra, NY over 100 miles northwest of Nineveh as the crow flies. How many other events and facts have historians gotten wrong?

Mormonism = white people cult 🤣

My inlaws worked on this restoration.

Eliza also wrote pràise to the man

'Honest face'

I too am very grateful for the making of these videos!!!! For I also will not get to go back there probably from Utah…

Thank you very much for this!!!!!

Yes, thank you so much very much for this great video! I think Martin Harris was great for all he did during the beginning and formative years of our church. I got to see and kiss his gravestone in Clarkston, Utah! Where he was buried.

Thank you to any and all that were involved in making this film about the bringing forth of the golden plates by Moroni to the hill Camorra in Palmyra, New York, and Joseph Smith‘s role in all this! Thank you to Lloyd D Newell, Craig Ostler, Susan Easton Black, and others!!! This was very well done and very illuminating! I was raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia, not too far from where this all happened! But I knew nothing of it at all when I lived back there! I didn’t join the church until I was 45 in the suburbs of Anchorage, Alaska! That’s where members of the church and the missionaries from our church found me! To all those people I am extremely indebted! And our two sons both ended up going on missions! This is the true church… That has all the truth! Other churches have truths in them, but not all the truths!! I love Heavenly Father & Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost!! I testify of them and their love for me and everyone else on this earth, and those that have already passed on! I testify of the truthfulness of the gospel and the Bible and the Book of Mormon!

Emma wasn't in the bed. It was a 16 year old mirinda Johnson. Whom joseph eventually married. Now back in those times you don't just get dealt to by the mob in those days for nothing. Especially a white man in those times. Think logical

My grandparents used to have a neighbor and his wife who always made me think of this house. They only came out at night, like the Johnsons. They had a pile of garbage (including a refrigerator that never worked) on their front porch, and when the town got after them for it being a health hazard their answer was to hang blinds off the gutter so no one could see it. Brilliant solution. I used to tell people "They probably sleep in that refrigerator during the day."

Martin Harris is this all too often remembered for losing the 116 pages of Book of Mormon manuscript. We must look at his entire life. He was a man of great faith and found great favor with the Lord and his prophet. He sacrificed his farm, home, marriage and family for the cause. He was excommunicated but was rebaptized four years before his death. He repented of his mistakes as should all of us. I find no fault with this man.

I love seeing these special places, because I never had the opportunity to travel there. I feel the spirit and Koseph Smith and Jesus Christ, even just listening on line. I KNOW he is a Prophet of our Father in Heaven. Growing up I learned this, and thought the whole world knew it and believed it. It didn’t occur to me that I had to believe because it was just a given fact. I didn’t know there were other people who thought him to not be a real prophet. But O am thankful I had that assuredly . What a blessing.

Thank you.

Love to see these Church History sites so fascinating. Many many thanks for sharing. God bless.

It says that Martin took the characters in February of 1829. Wasn’t it in 1828?

Thank you so very much for making and producing and filming this video about Colesville and the Knight family and Joseph Smith & the beginning of the church! Well done!

Really enjoy seeing these Church History sites . Probably won't see them personally myself so these videos really help to make the scriptures and church history come alive. Many many thanks for their production

What exact kind of magic mushrooms was he foraging up on that hill all those years and are they still there? Palmyra was the ancient city of the Temple of Baal and demon worship. It fits perfectly.

Joseph Knight Sr. (through Joseph Knight, Jr) is my 5th great grandfather

Thank you so much as I study the Doctrine and Covenants to know and understand the sacrifices these pioneers suffered for me to have the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in my life today. I’m so grateful for their testimonies and their sacrifices. Thank you.

He was sleeping with one of the Johnson daughters and they wanted to castrate him understandably. Then polygamy can justify his actions. I only follow Jesus. This dispensation doesn’t call for any human definitely not Joseph Smith

I remember when my Grandmother died. I was a young man in high school.
