Seekers who visited here recently.

You have found the true Mormon church, a small group of primitive Latter Day Saints that has been in continuous existence since 1830, but remained in the Midwest when Joseph Smith was martyred in 1844.  We support the Prophet Joseph’s written revelation appointing a successor named James Strang on June 18, 1844, just nine days before the Prophet Joseph was killed.  The Prophet James was ordained to that sole office by angels the same hour that Joseph was killed, and with witnesses later found brass records buried in a Wisconsin hill.  The closest associates to the Prophet Joseph were numbered with us, including his wife, his mother, his only surviving brother and his sisters, three of his apostles, the bishop of the whole church, the Nauvoo stake president, and the Book of Mormon witnesses.   The Prophet James was martyred in 1856 and our members have become few in number as prophesied in the scriptures.  After Brigham Young argued that the Prophet Joseph would not have a successor, a minority of members elected Brigham as their president anyway en route to Utah in1847.  That new organization grew rapidly in the West, changed dramatically, and are a modern worldwide organization today.  They no longer claim new prophecies, visions, revelations, or translations.  You should join us if you prefer the Mormons in the days of the Prophet Joseph.  Since 1830, we have had no membership requirements except faith, repentance, baptism, and confirmation.  We are the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

 

Continuing Faith

of sins, it is necessary only to have
