Massacre remembered

Good. Let it be remembered.

And may we never forget the Shoah!

Go watch the movie "September Dawn" starring Jon Voight. You will see more History and Truth than you will ever get from the Mormon Church!

“MOUNTAIN MEADOWS MASSACRE HORROR CONTINUES 150 YEARS LATER” As we approach September 11th, Americans everywhere will reflect on the tragic event of that day in 2001; however, we had more than one terrible tragedy that happened on September 11th. As a nation, we are all aware of the horror of 9/11/2001; but few are aware of the horror of the First September 11th. Known as the Mountain Meadows Massacre, this horrific event happened September 11, 1857. On that tragic September day, 120 innocent men, women, and children were brutally murdered by as many as 100 Mormon men under direct orders from their Priesthood leadership.
The horror of this event lives on today. The Mormon Church refuses to acknowledge any complicity in the wretched event. What is even worse, they have purchased all the land in the area of the killings. Four mass graves still hold the remains of these innocent people. The descendants have tried for years to be granted access to these mass graves to properly honor and bury their dead; HOWEVER, THE MORMON CHURCH REFUSES TO ALLOW THEM THIS SIMPLE ACT OF DECENCY.
How is this possible in 2007? There is no question that the Mormon Priesthood ordered this massacre, and the Mormon Church will not allow the families to properly bury their dead. The descendants of these people petitioned the Mormon Church in 1999 for Federal Stewardship of this area so that they could access the graves and properly honor their dead. They were refused. In the Spring of 2007 another request was made; again denial. Mormon Prophet, Gordon B. Hinckley said,“it’s not in the best interests of the church to allow federal stewardship in the meadows.” Phil Bolinger, President of the Mountain Meadows Monument Foundation, meeting with Mormon representative, Marlin Jensen on April 25th said,“It’s not right for the people who had complicity to the killings to be the grave owner.” He followed up with a sage question,“I asked him,‘How do you think the Kennedy family would feel if the Lee Harvey Oswald family had control of the Kennedy tomb?”
I thought the Mormon Church was all about families. I guess they’re not if they killed them! This most despicable act in American history lives on by the Mormon Church thumbing its nose at the descendants of those its Priesthood killed. I interviewed four of the descendants of this massacre on our TV show “Truth Outreach.” The first of three programs will air on WTJR Ch 16 (Mon 8:30 pm, Tues 1:30 pm, Wed 10:00 pm) from Quincy, the week of August 19th; the second program the week of August 26th; the third the week of September 2nd. These programs were hard to film—they’ll be hard to watch; this is a horrid tale that needs to be told. If you want to right one of the WORST WRONGS in American history, stop by the Nauvoo Christian Visitors Center—we are collecting signatures on petitions demanding the Mormon Church to turn this killing field over to the Federal Government so the families can properly inter their dead. Only the angry outcry of the American public will force the Mormon Church to do the right thing. Tell everyone you know about this!

Let's hope that some will also remember the Shoah where millions of Jews were killed.

You claim it is a fact that the LDS Church leaders ordered the killings. Care to give any HARD EVEDANCE? And just saying no mormon acvts without direct orders from the prophet does not work for through out history that has been shown to be false.

"Wake Up, Ye Elders of Israel, and Live to God and none else; and learn to do a thing, do it. None of your business whether it is right of wrong." Heber C. Kimball Journal of Discourses, 6:32 This is but one example, there are many more!

The movie "September Dawn" was just released on DVD Jan, 2008, it is #4 in sales and rentals! More people will now learn about this horrible part of American history, thanks to this film. For more information about Mountain Meadows Massacre visit: http://1857massacre.com//
