Modern Cult Leader, A.J. Miller and his Prototype, Joseph Smith, Jr.

[Apologette]

Watching this video will give one an idea of how Joe Smith operated and how he was able to get over on his followers. Notice how modern cult leader, Miller, manipulates the Bible ("I didn't walk on water when I was Jesus or change water into wine). Of course he denies doing those things when he was Jesus in the first century AD (according to his claim), since he can't do them now. Also, note how Miller is "gathering" together his followers into a compound, just as Joey did in Kirtland, Missouri and Nauvoo (not to mention he was thinking of fleeing with the cult to Texas or further West just before he got killed as the law was breathing down his polygamous neck). The Miller cult has the usual sexual component, as well, which one always finds in cults - in this case it's labeled "soul mates." In Joey's case it was "plural marriage." Miller is a smooth talker, using a lot of pop psychology and emotionally manipulating what appear to be very emotionally weak, credulous and gullible individuals. The weeping men pretty much says it all. The followers are operating from their emotional base, certainly not thinking things through - such as the real Jesus' warning about those who would come in His Name saying , "I am he. Don't believe them." It's pretty clear that the followers have only a superficial understanding of the Bible, if any understanding at all.........and so it is with Joe Smith's followers - never encountered one who actually believed and studied the Bible at all (of course, Joe undermined it as much as possible for obvious reasons).

So, you want to see how Joseph Smith got over on his followers, look at this Aussie, A.J. Miller - the spiritual deception lives on in another, but similar, form:

in the end....sooner or later, it always with CULTS comes down to"sex"

Sex with other women is the core of the Mormon faith,,,it's what its built around, its the reason it was dreamed up,,,its the central dream that Mormon men share and why they maintain the church, and the reason people keep inventing and splitting off and starting their own CULT...

The chance to have sex with strange women....thats all that CULTS will sooner or later be all about.



Running around after skirts was what Mormon founder Smith was doing.
Its why the people started to object to his leadership
Its what caused the anger that Smith had to others that tried to tell the truth about him.
Its the reason he got into trouble with the law,,,its the reason Smith ended up in jail...

Its the reason he got shot and killed.



Even when Smith was on the run from the law and was hiding out in the homes of his friends,......Even then!...regardless of how he would preach that the Devil was behind the plots to destroy him, even then when it came time to turn in for the night, Smith would make his play for one or more of the young girls in the house!

And you would think that any self-respecting woman would read about Joseph Smith's philandering and pedophile behavior and be disgusted - why be in a cult when you know ahead of time your husband intends to replace you with a whole bunch of other honeys in the Mormon hereafter? And then you get to worship your hubby as "god" for eternity? Mormonism is a religion created by a perverted man, and it obviously panders to the unregenerate man's sexual fantasies. Islam is the same with its weird houris, females who will serve the faithful Muslim man in Paradise and never cease being virgins regardless of how often the exalted Muslim male goes to bed with his harem. The whole system of false religious systems, as you've pointed out, is always about sex in one way or the other. And I've even had one Mormon male who posts here tell me that he'd have handed over his 14 year old daughter to Joe Smith if he desired her as a plural. Such is the fallen nature of those who follow cult leaders and not Jesus.
