William Godbe, the leader of the Godbeites
The Godbeites were members of the Church in Utah during the
Brigham Young years that persecuted the members of the very Church they belonged
to. In an effort to bring these individuals back into the fold, what did the
Church do as a show of fellowship?
a.
Called them as bishops
b.
Called them on missions
c.
Exempted them from paying tithing
d.
Invited them to a Church sponsored barbeque
Yesterday’s answer:
a.
That Joseph Smith killed a number of individuals at the Battle
of Crooked River
Not all who came to
see the Mormon prisoners were friendly. Some came to taunt, jeer, and accuse.
Alexander McRae said some were angry with Joseph and accused him of killing a
son, a brother, or some relative at Crooked River, which seemed strange to him
since the Missourians had reported only one man killed there.
