today was the death of joesph smith, i am unsure wether to use the word martyr.
i think i will.

today joesph smith was martyred by an angry mob.
the terror of their voices, curling in the corner of the cell, having to wait to be shot or knifed.

there are 100s of faith promoting rumours about the man, and 100s of stories about him as a fraud.
i think he is now impossible to know as a man.

remember emma and the children, and pray for his soul, for he thought he saw god, and he told of that message.
