      What is FAIR? 
       Leland,    August 4, 
      2005    Thanks for the response. Other than Christ,  there is no one 
      without sin, so who can hold the priesthood for any length of time?  
      Bob  Well Bob, a correct 
      understanding of the Gospel makes it plain. I will try to explain using 
      sources that you have told me already that you say 
      that you believe.The question is do all people really believe what God has said to his prophets 
      in the scriptures, or do 
      they just ignore with disbelief the things that they don’t want to hear 
      about.
 Jesus said: “Be ye 
      therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is 
      perfect.”    Matthew 5: 48
 So Bob, did Jesus ever give us any commandment that he 
      thought was impossible for us to keep? 
            You say that nobody is without sin.  I will 
      agree, but you don’t understand what sin really is. The word we call sin 
      in the English language, is from the Hebrew word “chata” which means to 
      miss the mark, to err.  Think of using a bow to shoot an arrow at a 
      target.  Unless you hit what we call the Bulls eye, in the center you 
      have missed the mark, and erred, or sinned.
 Bob, I think that you are 
      perfect in 2nd. Or 3rd grade math. I doubt if you 
      ever miss the mark in spelling at 5th. Or 6th grade 
      level either.  So what commandments do you know about that you can 
      keep and be perfect as Jesus commanded? I think that you do not kill. I 
      think that you do not bow down to any graven images as Exodus 20: 4 tells 
      us. So there you are perfect.  Now what you need to do is to learn 
      about the rest of Gods commandments and keep all of 
      them. The Gospel is so designed that as you move up from one level 
      of Priesthood to another, you have to become 
      more perfect in more 
      things. Until you arrive at the 
      point in this life that you can receive the Promises from God that your calling and election is sure.  
      And that you will share in the glories of the Celestial kingdom, and that 
      all the covenants that you were told about in the Aaronic endowment will 
      be fulfilled and come to pass.
 You will remember that you were told 
      then that “all these blessings are based upon your 
      faithfulness.”   So 
      if you are NOT faithful, you don’t get the blessing.
 
 So Bob if you will remain 
      faithful to God, then I personally can tell 
      you that he absolutely will 
      fulfill his promise to you. Do you really believe D&C 
      93:1
 “Verily, thus saith the Lord: It shall come to pass that 
      every soul who forsaketh his sins and cometh unto me, and calleth on my 
      name, and obeyeth my voice, and keepeth my commandments, 
      shall see my face and 
      know that I 
      am.”                     
      How do you feel about this one? D&C 130: 
      3 Do you really believe it?
 “John 14:23—The appearing of the Father and 
      the Son, in that verse, is a personal appearance; and the 
      idea that the Father and the Son dwell in a man's heart is an old 
      sectarian notion, and is false.”
 
 Do you really believe this. 
      D&C 52: 14-19 “And 
      again, I will give unto you a 
      pattern in all things, that ye may not be deceived; for Satan is 
      abroad in the land, and he goeth forth deceiving the nations— (Can you follow a pattern?)
 
 15 Wherefore he that prayeth, whose spirit is 
      contrite, the same is accepted of me if he obey mine ordinances. 
        (Bob, the LDS Church can’t even teach D&C 132 the first 
      six verses, or obey them. They make 
      excuses for NOT obeying Matthew 4: 4)
 16 He that speaketh, whose spirit is contrite, 
      whose language is meek and edifieth, the same is of God if he 
      (she) obey mine ordinances.  (Only an 
      idiot would expect to cut a square and then fold it into a circle. Or try 
      to fit a square peg into a round hole.)
 17 And again, he 
      that trembleth under my power shall be made strong, and shall bring forth 
      fruits of praise and wisdom, according to the 
      revelations and truths which I have 
      given you.   ((If the 
      pattern you have does not fit the revelations and truths given, 
      then you just can’t get the results.
 Just try to bake a cake and 
      use salt in the recipe instead of sugar, and see how well you like the 
      results. Or use dirt instead of flour. People 
      think they are smarter than God and will just not follow the recipe 
      he has written in the scriptures.)
 18 And again, he that is overcome and bringeth 
      not forth fruits, even according to this pattern, is not of me. (Read 
      what fruits 
      are in 2nd. Nephi 3 It tells us 
      19 times in just that one chapter what fruit is. Verses 4,5,6,7,11,12,14,18,19,21.)
 19 Wherefore, by this pattern ye shall know the 
      spirits in all cases under the whole heavens.”    D&C 52:14-19
 
 The Prophet Joseph Smith tells us: “There are a 
      great many wise men and 
      women too in our midst who are too wise to be 
      taught; therefore they must die in 
      their ignorance, and in the resurrection they will find their 
      mistake. Many seal up the door of heaven by saying, So far God may 
      reveal and I will believe. All men who become heirs of God and joint heirs 
      with Jesus Christ will have to receive the fulness of the ordinances of his kingdom; and those who 
      will not receive all the ordinances will come short of the 
      fullness of that glory, if they do not lose the whole.”

 Bob read 
      all of my links on Calling and Election Sure to see that the LDS Church people only have 
      two 
      Priesthoods. That a man must have more than one woman sealed to him to 
      qualify for the Highest 3rd. Priesthood they don’t even 
      understand about.     CLICK HERE to those Links. Quotes are from former LDS Authorities they now 
      reject.   So how do they explain these scriptures? 
 “O ye 
      pollutions, ye hypocrites, ye teachers, 
      who sell yourselves for that which will canker, why 
      have ye polluted the holy church of God? Why are ye ashamed to 
      take upon you the name of Christ? Why do ye not think that greater is the 
      value of an endless happiness than that misery which never dies—because of 
      the praise of the world?”     Mormon 8: 38
 “For do we not read that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and in him there 
      is no variableness neither shadow of changing?”   Mormon 9: 9   “For I know that God is not a partial God, neither a 
      changeable being; but he is unchangeable from all eternity to all 
      eternity.     Moroni 8: 
      18  
 “I perceive that it has been made known unto you, 
      by the testimony of his word, that he cannot walk in crooked paths; neither doth he vary from that which he hath said; neither hath he a shadow 
      of turning from the right to the left, or from that which is right 
      to that which is wrong; therefore, his course is one eternal round.” 
           Alma 7: 
      20
 “But thou art the same yesterday, today, and forever; and thou hast 
      elected us that we shall be saved, whilst all around us are elected to be 
      cast by thy wrath down to hell; for the which holiness, O God, we thank thee; and we also thank thee 
      that thou hast elected us, that we may not be led 
      away after the foolish traditions of our brethren, which doth bind 
      them down to a belief of Christ, which doth lead their hearts to wander 
      far from thee, our God.” Alma 31: 
      17    “And I do this that I 
      may prove unto many that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and that I speak 
      forth my words according to mine own pleasure. And because that I have 
      spoken one word ye need not suppose that I cannot speak another; for my work is not yet finished; neither shall 
      it be until the end of man, neither from 
      that time henceforth and forever.”      2 Nephi 29: 9    Bob, just ask any of 
      the Mormon Church leaders today and they will tell you that I am 
      full of dung (shit). Because they don’t believe 
      their own scriptures that God can speak 
      to some poor, crippled farmer with more than one woman sealed to 
      him. They think that God has lost his voice.  I would 
      almost agree because he has been screaming at them so long. Millions of 
      people would rather die than believe what God has said to his 
      prophets.  See D&C 64: 
      38-39 that says: “For it shall come to pass that the inhabitants of 
      Zion shall judge all things pertaining to Zion.
 And liars and hypocrites 
      shall be proved by them, and they who are not apostles and 
      prophets shall be 
      known.”      Doctrine and Covenants 64: 38-39  
      
 “And the rebellious shall be pierced with much sorrow; for their 
      iniquities shall be spoken upon the housetops, (TV) and their secret acts 
      shall be revealed. And the voice of warning shall be unto 
      all people, by the mouths of my disciples, whom I have chosen in these last days. 
      And they shall go forth and none shall stay them, for I the Lord have commanded 
      them.”           Doctrine and Covenants 1: 3 -5
 
 Bob have you kept the 
      commandment: “Behold, I sent you out to testify and warn the 
      people, and it becometh every man who hath been 
      warned to warn his neighbor. Therefore, 
      they are left without excuse, and their sins are upon their own heads. 
      He (she) that seeketh me early shall find me, and shall not be 
      forsaken. Therefore, tarry ye, and labor diligently, that you may be perfected in your ministry to go forth among 
      the Gentiles for the last time, as many as the mouth of the Lord shall 
      name, to bind up the law and seal up the testimony, and to prepare the saints for the hour of 
      judgment which is to come; That their souls may escape the wrath of God, 
      the desolation of abomination which awaits 
      the wicked, both in this world and in the world to come.”

 Bob, after I received 
      a revelation last week and then called you for permission to put our email 
      correspondences on my web site, I called Salt Lake City and asked some of 
      our people to go to the “FAIR” meeting in Sandy. They said OK. Thursday 
      8/05 I got up at 4:30 am. And drove to SLC and met them at the 
      Conference in Sandy.
 In two days we talked to many people and gave out 
      free bookmarks.
 Many good people were there and I thought of Joseph’s 
      quote: “For there are many yet on the earth among all sects, 
      parties, denominations, who are blinded by the subtle craftiness of men, 
      whereby they lie in wait to deceive, and who are 
      only kept from the truth because they know not where to find it.”  Joseph 
      Smith,
 Teachings of the Prophet Joseph 
      Smith, selected and arranged by Joseph Fielding Smith [Salt 
      Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1976], Pages 145-146
 
 I told Scott Gordon the 
      President of FAIR (The Foundation for 
      Apologetic Information & Research (FAIR) www.fairlds.org and a few others 
      who were standing near him to watch for Gordon B. Hinckley to die in 
      December and shortly after his death that millions in the USA would die in 
      the surprise attack.
 I am afraid that he and those others will just 
      procrastinate like Alma tells :
 
 “And now, 
      as I said unto you before, as ye have had so many witnesses, therefore,
 I beseech of you that ye do not 
      procrastinate the day of your repentance until the end; for after 
      this day of life, which is given us to prepare for eternity, behold, if we 
      do not improve our time while in this life, then cometh the night of 
      darkness wherein there can be no labor performed.
 34 Ye cannot say, when 
      ye are brought to that awful crisis, that I will repent, that I 
      will return to my God. Nay, ye cannot say 
      this; for that same spirit which doth possess your bodies at the 
      time that ye go out of this life, that same spirit will have power to 
      possess your body in that eternal world.
 35 For behold, if ye have procrastinated 
      the day of your repentance even until death, behold, ye have 
      become subjected to the spirit of the devil, and he doth seal you his; 
      therefore, the Spirit of the Lord hath withdrawn from you, and hath no 
      place in you, and the devil hath all power over you; and this is the final 
      state of the wicked. 36 And this I know, because the Lord hath said he dwelleth 
      not in unholy 
      temples, but in the hearts of the righteous doth he dwell; yea, and 
      he has also said that the righteous shall sit down in his kingdom, to go 
      no more out; but their garments should be made white through the blood of 
      the Lamb.”  Alma 34: 33-36   ----- Original Message

 Bob, your 
      assumption is correct, that “your” priesthood can only be taken away by 
      your “Un-righteous acts. If you ever did sustain the LDS Authorities in 
      their apostasy, then God would say “He is for the devil, and not me.” He 
      would say “amen” to you, that’s the end. See the 
      “Excommunication Link” on my home page. The reason we 
      re-confirm the priesthood is because “Baptism” washes away “the past” 
      completely. John Taylor prophesied the day “would” come when the men in 
      the Church would “NOT” have the authority of the Priesthood. It was in 
      that Musser Book you had for awhile. He said that in 1886. Priesthood is 
      the authority to act for God. Any un-righteous acts out of line with the 
      commandments are not valid. See DC 121: 34-38   AND verse 39 ! ! 
      that is why I try to “prove” everything with quotes for persuasion, and 
      pure knowledge. See verses 40-41   You are well off I think, 
      just hold onto the Iron Rod. Bless you.

  Leland,Thank you for your 
      informative and detailed reply.
 My question was directed more to what 
      happened to the priesthood, which is without beginning or end of days, 
      etc.    I've read your writings, quotes et al many 
      times.  I have also taken your direction in requesting a witness as 
      to your prophetship, priesthood etc.
 I have earnestly sought such and 
      to date, still await the witness.
 My question is more directed 
      to "what happened to my priesthood"?
 I was ordained an elder 
      8/29/1970 which was before the Kimball/Canaanite issue.
 If I had 
      the Melchizedech priesthood and, later, someone else did something contary 
      to an ordinance, why would my priesthhood be taken away? It appears, then, 
      that my priesthhood and subsequent exaltation is controlled by the action 
      of others.
 You 
      baptized me again and laid your hands on me for the Aaronic. I saw no harm 
      in such as I saw such was a confirmation of the lesser priesthood I 
      already had.  If I already have the priesthood, why is it necessary 
      to get it again and why even have this priesthood if it can be taken away 
      by others actions?  Sincerely,   Bob   ----- Original Message -----

 Nothing has changed in almost 2000 years. Leaders 
                today 'say' they have the 'priesthood',
 when their own 
                former prophets say that they don't. Is the priesthood removed 
                from the earth? If not, who has it?  Bob

      question
 Bob, here are some good thoughts on Priesthood. I 
      saw your email when I got home but my web server was down all day (2 days) 
      because of phone problems with the Quest lines.   Some of my comments are in blue plain 
      to see.   Others in red are 
      Joseph’s.These are from the Teachings of the Prophet 
      Joseph Smith and the page numbers listed. Realize 
      that “any” priesthood authority has to conform with what has already been 
      revealed and not overstep the bounds of that authority.
 You have the proper authority to officiate in any “Aaronic” 
      capacity. To baptize, bless the sacrament, slay a lamb, or other Aaronic 
      duties. Following are all 
      quotes from Joseph, they are all true and correct.
 
 “All are bound by the principles of virtue and 
      happiness, but one 
      great privilege of the Priesthood is to obtain 
      revelations of the mind and will of God. It is also the 
      privilege of the Melchizedek Priesthood, to reprove, rebuke, and 
      admonish, as well as to receive revelation. 
      If the Church 
      knew all the commandments, one-half they would condemn through prejudice and ignorance.”   Page 
      111
 Today there are no revelations to the 
      Church, so now what does that mean! !
 Have you ever seen any written revelations from any of those 
      authorities?
 The LDS have prophets that don't prophesy, 
      Seers that can't see, and revelators that reveal nothing.
 
 “The Priesthood is 
      everlasting—without beginning of days or end of years; without father, 
      mother, etc. If there is no change of ordinances there is no change of 
      Priesthood. Wherever the ordinances of the Gospel are 
      administered, there is the Priesthood.”     Page 158
 
 “Now for 
      Elijah. The spirit, power, and calling of Elijah is, that ye 
      have power to hold the key of the 
      revelations, ordinances, oracles, powers and endowments of the 
      fulness of the Melchizedek Priesthood and 
      of the kingdom of God on the earth; 
      and to receive, obtain, and perform all 
      the ordinances belonging to the kingdom of God.”    Page 337
 Bob I have 
      received every “key” necessary from Jesus Christ except the keys to the 
      resurrection. And I have not received that ordinance yet.
 
 “The power of Elijah is sufficient to make our 
      calling and election sure; and the same 
      doctrine, where we are exhorted to go on to perfection, not laying 
      again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of laying on of 
      hands, resurrection of the dead, &c.  We cannot be perfect 
      without the fathers, &c. We must have revelation from them, 
      and we can see that the doctrine of revelation 
      far transcends the doctrine of no 
      revelation; for one truth revealed from heaven is worth 
      all the sectarian notions in existence.”  Page 338
 Bob CLICK HERE to see a couple of dozen revelations I have been 
      given.
 
 “Where there is no kingdom of 
      God there is no salvation. What 
      constitutes the kingdom of God? Where there is a prophet, a priest, or a righteous man unto whom God gives His oracles, there is the kingdom of God; and where the 
      oracles of God are not, there the kingdom of God is not.”  
           Page 
      272
 
 “Yet the Melchizedek Priesthood 
      comprehends the Aaronic or Levitical Priesthood, and is the grand head, and holds the highest 
      authority which pertains to the priesthood, and the keys of the Kingdom of God in all ages of 
      the world to the latest posterity on the earth; and is the 
      channel through which all knowledge, doctrine, the plan of 
      salvation and every important matter is 
      revealed from heaven.
 Its institution was prior to "the 
      foundation of this earth, or the morning stars sang together, or the Sons 
      of God shouted for joy," and is the highest 
      and holiest Priesthood, and is after the order of the Son of God, and all other 
      Priesthoods are only parts, ramifications, powers and blessings 
      belonging to the same, and are held, controlled, and directed by it. 
      It is the channel through which the Almighty commenced 
      revealing His glory at the beginning of the creation of this 
      earth, and through which He has 
      continued to reveal Himself to the children of men to the 
      present time, and through which He will 
      make known His purposes to the end of time.”  
          Page 166 
            Now!
 
 So is God asleep? Or does he think that the death of millions is not 
      important?
 “Now for the secret and 
      grand key. Though they might hear the voice of God and know 
      that Jesus was the Son of God, this would be no evidence that their 
      election and calling was made sure, that they had part with Christ, and 
      were joint heirs with Him. They then would want 
      that more sure word of prophecy, that they were sealed in the 
      heavens and had the promise of eternal life in the kingdom of God. 
      Then, having this promise sealed unto 
      them, it was an anchor to the soul, sure and steadfast. Though the 
      thunders might roll and lightnings flash, and earthquakes bellow, and war 
      gather thick around, yet this hope and knowledge would support the soul in 
      every hour of trial, trouble and tribulation. Then knowledge through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the grand 
      key that unlocks the glories and mysteries of the 
      kingdom of heaven.
 Compare this principle once with 
      Christendom at the present day, and where are they, with all their 
      boasted religion, piety and sacredness while at the same time they are 
      crying out against prophets, apostles, 
      angels, revelations, prophesying and 
      visions, etc. Why, they are just ripening for the damnation 
      of hell. They will be damned, for they reject the most glorious 
      principle of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and treat with disdain and trample 
      under foot the key that unlocks the 
      heavens and puts in our possession the glories of the celestial world. 
      Yes, I say, such will be damned, with all their professed godliness. Then 
      I would exhort you to go on and continue to call upon God until you make 
      your calling and election sure for yourselves, by 
      obtaining this more sure word of prophecy, and wait patiently for 
      the promise until you obtain it, etc.” 
             Page 
      298
 
 “The other Comforter spoken of is a subject of great 
      interest, and perhaps understood by 
      few of this generation. After a person has faith in Christ, 
      repents of his sins, and is baptized for the remission of his sins and 
      receives the Holy Ghost, (by the laying on of hands), which is the first Comforter, then let him continue to humble 
      himself before God, hungering and thirsting after righteousness, and 
      living by every word of God, and the Lord will soon say unto him, Son, 
      thou shalt be exalted.
 When the Lord has thoroughly 
      proved him, and finds that the man is determined to serve Him at all 
      hazards, then the man will find his calling and his election made 
      sure, then it will be his privilege to receive the other Comforter, which the Lord hath 
      promised the Saints, as is recorded in the testimony of St. John, in 
      the 14th chapter, from the 12th to the 27th verses.  Note the 16, 17, 
      18, 21, 23 verses:  "16. And I will pray the Father, and He shall 
      give you another Comforter, that he may 
      abide with you forever; "17. Even the Spirit of Truth; whom the 
      world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him; but 
      ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
 "18. I will 
      not leave you comfortless: I 
      will come to you. * * *
 "21. He that hath my 
      commandments, and keepeth them he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth 
      me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
 "23. 
      If a man 
      love me, 
      he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, 
      and we will come unto him, and 
      make our abode with him."
 Now what is 
      this other Comforter? It is no 
      more nor less than the Lord Jesus 
      Christ Himself; and this is 
      the sum and substance of the whole matter; that when any man obtains this last 
      Comforter, he 
      will have the personage of Jesus Christ to attend 
      him, or appear unto him from 
      time to time, and even He will manifest the Father unto him, and 
      they will take up their abode with him, and the visions 
      of the heavens will be opened unto him, and the Lord will teach him face to 
      face, and he may have a perfect 
      knowledge of the 
      mysteries of the Kingdom of God; and 
      this is the state and place the ancient Saints arrived at when they had 
      such glorious visions—Isaiah, Ezekiel, John upon the Isle of 
      Patmos, St. Paul in the three heavens, and all the Saints who held 
      communion with the general assembly and Church of the Firstborn.”

 The 
      people in the LDS Church don’t really believe Acts 2:17-19 about 
      the handmaidens.
 “The sacrifice required of Abraham in the 
      offering up of Isaac, shows that if a man would attain to the keys of the kingdom of an endless life; he must 
      sacrifice all things. When God 
      offers a blessing or knowledge to a man, and he refuses to receive it, he 
      will be damned. The Israelites prayed that God would speak to Moses 
      and not to them; in consequence of which he cursed them with a carnal 
      law.What was the power of Melchizedek? 'Twas not the Priesthood of 
      Aaron which administers in outward ordinances, and the 
      offering of sacrifices. Those holding the fulness of the Melchizedek Priesthood are kings and priests of the 
      Most High God, holding the keys 
      of power and blessings. In fact, that Priesthood is a perfect law of 
      theocracy, and stands as God to give laws to the people, administering 
      endless lives to the sons and daughters of Adam.
 Abraham says to 
      Melchizedek, I believe all that thou hast taught me concerning the 
      priesthood and the coming of the Son of Man; so Melchizedek ordained 
      Abraham and sent him away. Abraham rejoiced, saying, Now I have a priesthood.”

 “The law revealed to Moses in Horeb never was revealed to the children of Israel as 
      a nation. Elijah shall reveal the covenants to seal the hearts of the 
      fathers to the children, and the children to the fathers. The anointing and sealing 
      is to be called, elected and made 
      sure. "Without father, 
      without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days nor end 
      of life, but made like unto the Son of God, abideth a priest 
      continually." The Melchizedek Priesthood holds the right from the 
      eternal God, and not by descent from father and mother; and that 
      priesthood is as eternal as God Himself, having neither beginning of days 
      nor end of life.   The 2nd Priesthood is Patriarchal authority."

 "The Holy Ghost is God's 
      messenger to administer in all 
      those priesthoods. Jesus Christ is the 
      heir of this Kingdom—the Only Begotten of the Father according 
      to the flesh, and holds the keys over all 
      this world.Men have to suffer 
      that they may come upon Mount Zion and be 
      exalted above the heavens.  I 
      know a man that has been caught up to the third heavens, and 
      can say, with Paul, that we have seen and heard things that are not lawful 
      to utter. (Aug. 27, 1843.)  —DHC 5:554-556.   Page 323

 "Do not watch for iniquity in each other, 
      if you do you will not get an 
      endowment, for God will not bestow it on such. But if we are faithful, and live by every word that proceeds 
      forth from the mouth of God, I will venture to prophesy that we shall 
      get a blessing that will be worth remembering, if we should live as long 
      as John the Revelator; our blessings will be such as we have not realized 
      before, nor received in this generation. The order of the house of God 
      has been, and ever will be, the same, even after 
      Christ comes; and after the 
      termination of the thousand years it will be the same; and we shall 
      finally enter into the celestial kingdom of God, and enjoy it forever". 
           Page 
      91    "The question is frequently asked, "Can we not be 
      saved without going through with all those ordinances?" 
      I would answer, No, not the fulness of 
      salvation. Jesus said, There are many mansions in my Father's 
      house, and I will go and prepare a place for you. House here named 
      should have been translated kingdom; and any person who is exalted to the highest 
      mansion has to abide a celestial law, and 
      the whole law 
      too.
 But there has been a great difficulty in getting 
      anything into the heads of this generation. It has been like splitting 
      hemlock knots with a corn-dodger for a wedge, and a pumpkin for a beetle. 
      Even the Saints are slow 
      to understand.         Unwillingness of Saints to 
      Learn     Every law ‘must’ 
      be lived here in the flesh.
 "I have tried for a 
      number of years to get the minds of the Saints prepared to 
      receive the things of God; but we 
      frequently see some of them, after suffering all they have for the 
      work of God, will fly to pieces like glass as soon as anything comes that 
      is contrary to their traditions: they cannot stand the fire at all. How 
      many will be able to abide a celestial law, and go through and 
      receive their exaltation, I am unable to say, as many are called, but few are 
      chosen. (Jan. 20, 1844.) 331—DHC 6:183-185.  Views of 
      the Prophet on His Candidacy for President of the United States “I would not have suffered my name to have been 
      used by my friends on anywise as President of the United States, or 
      candidate for that office, if I and my friends could have had the 
      privilege of enjoying our religious and civil rights as American citizens, 
      even those rights which the Constitution guarantees unto all her citizens 
      alike. But this as a people we have been denied from the beginning. 
      Persecution has rolled upon our heads from time to time, from portions of 
      the United States, like peals of thunder, because of our religion; and no 
      portion of the Government as yet has stepped forward for our relief. And 
      in view of these things, I feel it to be my right and privilege to obtain 
      what influence and power I can, lawfully, in the United States, for the 
      protection of injured innocence; and if I lose my life in a good cause 
      I am willing to be sacrificed on the altar 
      of virtue, righteousness and truth, in maintaining the laws and 
      Constitution of the United States, if need be, 
      for the general good of mankind. (Feb. 8, 1844.) —DHC 
      6:210-211.”       Page 331-332
