Excellent, Well Written Book!!!

This is a book that ALL active Mormons, inactive Mormons and non-Mormons need to read. In other words, EVERYONE should read "The Mormon Conspiracy"! If nothing else, the revealing truth behind where the tithing money goes, after it's paid by the church membership,is shocking. I recommend this book highly!!!

Think Missouri, not a very subtle conspiracy

Joseph Smith, Jr was in fact determined to set up a large Mormon ruled city/state extending out from Kansas City and guess who was to be ruler? This has never been hidden, concealed or denied and this fact cannot be relegated to the category of "conspiracy theory." This was a disaster for the good people that followed him there in faith and hope. I have not heard it lately but all through the 20th century I heard Mormons many, many times state that at some point the US government would fall and the "LDS priesthood step in to save the country." Also I often heard that at some point Kansas City would be destroyed by some disaster, natural or nuclear, so the LDS saints could establish the center stake. You can read in Doctrine and Covenants, Mormon canonical scripture, that Albany, Boston and New York City will be destroyed if inhabitants do not accept Smith's version of gospel. Nope, there is no subtle, surreptitious nor hidden conspiracy.

Perfectly accurate

This book is perfectly accurate. I am an ex-mormon and I can testify that everything in this book is true. Of course the author, Dr. Wood, makes a little mistake when he talks about the fact that students need a temple recommend to go to BYU. In fact, all they need is some sort of letter of recommendation, signed by an LDS authority (bishop, etc). It is not a temple recommend, but the process of getting it is almost exactly the same. I want to say that this corporation (it is hard to call it a church)is very dangerous. They are so rich and powerful. I remember one of my sons getting out of Sunday school a few months ago and handing me a drawing of the topic they had discussed that day: they had talked about tithing, meaning giving 10% of your total income to the church. My son was only 3 years old. It made me literally sick. I could not believe it. I had never even talked to my son about money. He was still a baby... I believe that the only topic that ought to be tackled in Sunday school with those "babies" is Jesus and the ways he loves us. NOT MONEY! That is just one example of their methods of brainwashing and conditioning. I would like to say that most mormons are very nice people. They have just been mislead and brainwashed ever since they were born. It is very sad. Most of them cannot even think on their own. Everything that their president says is gospel truth. They don't even know that, most of the time, he does not even write his own talks (general conferences). I know that because I worked for them. They scare me and that is why I wish to remain anonymous. No one can fathom the social and psychological pressure that you have to cope with when you are a non-mormon in Utah. The first amendment of the constitution is flouted every day in this state, yet the federal government never intervenes.

former mormon feels better about leaving

When I left the mormon church or "The Church", as its refered to in Utah, I felt free for the first time in my life. But from being raised in it for 18 years and coming from a long line of Mormon descendents (including a great-great-grandfather that was one of Brigham Youngs advisors) I couldn't help but wonder if I was doing the right thing. My original reasons for leaving were simple, I was fed up with being forced to believe in something that I never had a true testimony for in the first place. I felt I was old enought to decide for myself the difference between right and wrong without a bunch of geriatics telling me I was going to hell for drinking coffee. But part of me still wondered if I had made the right decision. After reading this book, along with Fawn Brodies "No Man Knows my History", I feel beyond a doubt that I've made the right choice. Doctor Wood does more than reash the history of the Mormon church with all its many inaccurasies. He looks at the modern role that the church has taken. I found it incredibly interesting to read about the financial and political holdings that the church has. Not to mention the horrible oppresion of women and minorities in its ranks. Every mormon needs to read this book and then (as the Book of Mormon states) pray about it to find that "burning sensation" that tells them if its true or not. Thank you Charles L. Wood for helping this former "Saint" come to terms with a decision that he made more than ten years ago.

A Perspective I have sought for years

From a Utah reader: "The Mormon Conspiracy" provides the reader with many cogent facts about the organization and history of the Mormon Church. I was born into a Salt Lake Mormon family in 1924. Prior to volunteering for the Army in 1943, our family lived for the Church and spent many hours listening to speakers' versions of salvation. The Army assigned me to a combat tank battalion, which gave support to an infantry division. This infantry division spearheaded many of the battles in the European Theatre of War. Spiritually. I believed there was a God over us. This gave me comfort even though there were no church meetings, no singing, no praying, no voices of eternal damnation if you did not worship the LDS way, no studying of the hard to understand book of Mormon and no testimony recitations about the Joseph Smith story. In France and on into Germany with combat forces, I experienced a spirituality that trusted in Christ and his teachings. That spirituality is what I cherish today. When I got back to Salt Lake, I found returning to the insipid routine of Mormonism frustrating and confusing, What ever moral guilt or sorrow I felt for having served in WWII was never addressed in the LDS Church. When my wife died in 1969, I got a temple recommend to have her posthumously married to me and my three minor children sealed to us for eternity, as prescribed by Mormonism. The temple ceremony was one of my life's greatest shocks. Not only was it an obvious cult ritual but also was personally abhorrent. Since this ritual, I have not been active in the Church. However, I have struggled emotionally with vague feelings, thoughts and troubled by the incongruities I have experienced in mentally questioning the Church's claim of legitimacy. In my view, "The Mormon Conspiracy" has pulled together historical and other data that reveals the true Mormon Church. Prior to reading this book, I read a few of the books and articles quoted in the endnotes. These did not give me all the information I sought. This book has helped me answer questions "Why is the official Church history told to members different from its historical truth? Why is the Church so overzealous in excommunicating members who research and publish their research about the Church's true history? Why does the hierarchy, "the brethren" continue to hide the true facts from its congregation? I believe the answers to my questions are found in the control of money and the power "the brethren" have in their appointed positions. I believe if the brethren communicated and educated "True Believing Mormons" about its true history, its organization and wealth, there would be a vast defection and flight from Mormonism. The evidence is overwhelming that the Book of Mormon and gospel is a fraud promulgated by Joseph Smith and the hierarchy who followed him. By giving a true history, the brethren, the power seekers, would lose the power and political pursuits for which they lust. They would lose control of people and
