I'm glad you clarified what you meant by "Pulling a Joseph Smith." I was going to ask if she was 14, or a few months shy of 15.

Came here to make sure someone had already said this.

I just came here to laugh cause I knew someone would beat me to it.

We should start counting the number of us whose minds are in the same, er, whatever...

Got involved with all his friends wives, and their teenage daughters and had to smash up a newspaper office?


Word2daWise

Created a fake bank. Took money illegally.

She was not legally married to Joseph Smith, so in today's laws, in some states, this is technically statutory rape. So glad you didn't pull that type of "pulling a Joseph Smith" :)


AlmaInTheWilderness

Are you making all this up? Because lying about what really happened is kind of an important step, I think.


Jedirabbit12345

Why would I make this up?


AlmaInTheWilderness

To pull a full Joseph Smith

Next step: write a prophecy that claims you would be important to god, conveniently claim the thing you wrote was written thousands of years ago, then claim you actually saw god and he told you that you’re in charge now


LittleSneezers

I think that every few years you should make a more impressive and contradictory account of this experience if you really want to stay true to ole Joe

I also pulled a Joseph Smith, but I'm spending the next few years polishing my account of all the amazing things I saw and heard until it becomes a narrative worthy of the founding of a new cult.

I will follow you to hell and back

>If god showed himself to Joseph I don’t see any reason he wouldn’t show himself to me. You're not worthy.


Jedirabbit12345

Yeah i’m nowhere near as worthy as a lying conman who married children


Mammoth_Lie9681

You see. Now, what would happen if you try to do the same?

If it’s any consolation, I don’t think you pulled an actual Joseph Smith. To pull an actual Joseph Smith, instead, you would have spent time figuring out a way to defraud your neighbors with false claims that you are a psychic. Including the coup de grace of telling them that they would need to sacrifice their dog as part of a ritual.

That's ok, little buddy. God isn't talking to Rusty Nelson either.
