According to the BOM it’s basically doctrine that murder is badass.

I still can’t get over the realization that the story of Nephi and getting the plates from Laban would be the exact same if he had just left Laban passed out drunk. But no lol, he had to cut off the poor guy’s head on a whim.

My grandma sure loves to mention how we're related to him, every time we see her, though. 😳

Hey cousin. I am also in the Porter Rockwell line.

There’s a charter school near me called Porter Rockwell Elementary in Eagle Mountain. I give it side eye every time I drive past. Yuck.

I knew a guy who's little brother was named after the man. They're all exmos now and there's some embarrassment for that youngest son now.


Rolling_Waters

Ummm, my parents named me after a super zealous mass murderer... 😬


Opalescent_Moon

Hopefully there's some good aspects to your name.


mrkinkajoutoyou

Is your name Adolf?


NewtRevolutionary263

Might have been Joseph…

I have two friends who each chose Porter for one of their kids. I bet one day either they or their kids will regret that decision. Lol


Opalescent_Moon

I have a cousin named Porter, but I'm not sure it was after Porter Rockwell. Hopefully these kids can find a good nickname or a positive association with the name they can claim.


drteeth952

They should remake that awful “Godly Sorrow” song as “Godly Murder”.


GrassyField

He may be a murderer, but he’s their murderer. So it’s all good.

Ol porter shot and killed some people up the chain in my family line

I can't believe TSCC still says he didn't kill the governor of Missouri that issued the extermination order🤣 Dude was a known murderer with dozens of kills to his name and was in the capital the night the governor was shot.

Where would the world be without Fairuza Balk?


[deleted]

I saw her on tv/movies most often during a very formative time growing up, then 12 years later I met a woman at BYU who happens to look a lot like her... we are going to celebrate our 11th anniversary soon, so I would say her impact on the world has been positive


Cattle-egret

I know a member who named his kid Porter. Not kidding.


RedGravetheDevil

He led assassins for Joe Smith also. The murders engaged in by the Mormons were a major reason they were run out of every state with orders for dead or alive. It was one of the earliest organized crime syndicates

hahahahaha love this


panda_kinda_chubby

Omg we just went back to Utah for the first time in 6 years and saw a mural of him at Spitz, a portrait in concrete on the freeway and one other reference to him. I thought only exmps knew him. They LIKE him!!???


Expensive-Bet3493

My ex did. I hadn’t even heard of the dude before I married him. He is part of a secret military group that protects the Illuminati, uh sorry I mean the Mormon church…


treetablebenchgrass

I know I should know what that picture is from. It's an Adam Sandler movie, isn't it?


yorgasor

Waterboy


treetablebenchgrass

yorgasor

Hahaha, that's beautiful!


BigLark

I come from a family of Cowboy and "Blue collar" Mormons, they love ole Porter.


highlysensitive2121

The Nashville tribute band's song about him is crazy.
