    About this ebook

    The Mormon Church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) admits that it stands or falls on the validity or otherwise of Joseph Smith's claimed First Vision. This booklet examines each aspect of Smith's official account and compares it with historical evidence, including his own earlier versions of events, along with all his other writings – to arrive at the only possible conclusion. Was the vision a first time, first hand, divine experience or was it made up as Smith went along and just part of an elaborate hoax? This work is made available in the interest of truth and integrity for those who want to know or share the truth which is supported by hard evidence. The ePub version may be copied and shared (see copyright conditions). This booklet is also available to read free as an article at: themormondelusion.com web site.

      Meticulous research—myriad details: more proof of Joseph Smith being a con artist than you could shake a divining rod at! The worst is that the church calls this “lying for the Lord” and works hard at maintaining this blatant deception. I’m hoping these American cults from upstate New York will soon drop away into history, where they belong!
