"They dress very much like the Quaker style and are quite general in style, or fashion of dress.
"They live to be very old; coming generally, near a thousand years.
"This is the description of them as given by Joseph the seer, and he could `See' whatever he asked the father in the name of Jesus to see," (Journal of Oliver B. Huntington, Vol. 3, p. 166; as recorded at the Utah State Historical Society 1881).
"Astronomers and philosophers have, from time almost immemorial until very recently, asserted that the moon was uninhabited, that it had no atmosphere, etc. But recent discoveries, through the means of powerful telescopes, have given scientists a doubt or two upon the old theory.
"Nearly all the great discoveries of man in the last half century have, in one way or another, either directly or indirectly, contributed to prove Joseph Smith to be a Prophet.
"As far back as 1837, I know that he said the moon was inhabited by men and women the same as this earth, and that they lived to be a greater age than we do, that they lived generally to near the age of 1000 years.
"He described the men as averaging near six feet in height, and dressing quite uniformly in something near the Quaker style.
"In my Patriarchal blessing, given by the father of Joseph the Prophet, in Kirtland, 1937, I was told that I should preach the gospel to the inhabitants of the sea -- to the inhabitants of the moon, even the planet you can now behold with your eyes," (Vol. 3, pp. 263-264 Young Woman's Journal, a church publication)

My point remains : 7 ft Quakers is a part of this discussion because >....................................?cd:The 7 ft quakers statements are an issue because they reflect on the credibility of the so-called prophet J. Smith. To claim to recieve revelation from a God whom told J.Smith that there are quakers on the moon is a serious non-credibility issue on J.Smith part.It this is untrue why would anyone believe his other recieved revelations and build a church on those revelations? I am surprised that you have to ask this question.And I am surprised that my questions in other posts have not been answered regarding this claim. Did JS, in fact, make such a statement? Did he speak as a prophet of God? Is this a part of the formal teachings of the Mormon religion? Me -- I need book chapter and verse for such claims ------------------ not personal affirmations.\Cd: I will have to rely upon Kevin to supply the formal documents. My information comes from standing in front of the Mormon temple and talking to Mormons day after day- all day long- while hundreds of thousands of Mormons come to conference in SLC. They believe he made these comments. It is interesting that you fail to ask the Mormons for proof. I suspect our discussions on this site are going to be limited.
