Mormons warned against criticizing Church Salt Lake City a mormon officials have warned members not to criticize the Faith s leaders or its doctrines and likened increasing attacks by outside critics to a Day when christians were cast into roman  elder George p. Lee of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter Day saints said mor Mons will face increasing persecution As the second coming  falsehoods arc swirling everywhere about the True saints of god Lee a Mem Ber of the Church s first quorum of seventy said in remarks prepared for the Church s 155th semiannual general con Ference. Is this not Akin to a Day when christians were cast into roman Arenas Arenas filled with ravenous Lions in recent months elected officials in is Rael and Micronesia have passed resolutions critical of the Church and ministers of other faiths in the Caribbean have publicly warned their members not to listen to mor Mon missionaries. Letters and diaries written by Church founder Joseph Smith s Early followers and discovered by mormon scholars have been used to support claims that Smith was a charlatan who was involved in cult magic and searched for buried treasure. Smith founded the Church in 1830 after declaring that an Angel had Given him ancient Gold plates from which he translated the Book of mormon. The Book is regarded As holy scripture by mormons. After Smith was murdered by a mob in Illinois in 1844, mormons fled to what is now Utah. Elder James e. Faust of the Church s Council of the twelve apostles said Church members place their souls in danger when they criticize their religious leaders or Church teachings. I cannot help bul wonder if a member of the Church does not place himself in some spiritual peril when publicly disparaging the prophetic calling of Joseph Smith or his successors or any of the fundamental settled doctrines of the Church Faust said. He said mormons must realize that Secu Lar learning cannot answer All the questions they May have about their Church. Some May want to justify their criticism by claiming but it is True. My answer is How can you be sure spiritual truth must be bonded to Faith and righteousness to be fully understood Faust said.
