Blaine: I remember we went through this once before, about Joseph being baptized into a Baptist Church, and it was never shown he was actually baptized--as I recall, he simply had allowed his name to be listed with other active persons in the church--I think his sister was a member. It was also later removed, as I recall, by the minister, for reasons I can't recall, but seems like the minister was out of sorts with Joseph Smith and did it to protect others from Joseph's influence. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2004 9:50 AM Subject: RE: [TruthTalk] Baptist Baptism
