Summary: Connect the dots
Comment: For the naysayers who criticize the book they are most likely Mormons and as their history shows, they will fight vehemently against any negative press of the religion. Those who are not Mormon and criticize the book have no basis for their critique as in all liklihood, they don't know the full doctrine or true history of the church. The Mormons have spent massive amounts of money in the last 25 years to purchase a mainstream religious image. They have also stayed busy revising their history lest the average American actually know the real truth behind all those wonderful temples and really nice people of which the majority are nice. They really believe they are the chosen people of God to bring in the Second Coming.
So how do I know anything about the Mormons? I am a fifth generation Mormon descended from one of Brigham Young's wives and trust me their goal is a one world government with the Mormon Prophet and Apostles at the helm. I know because that is what was taught to me starting at age three, the general age your Mormon indoctination begins. With Mormons you get only one view of church history, that the Mormons were innocent and persecuted mercilessly in Missouri, Ohio, and Illinois. They leave out the part where Joseph Smith had an organized, armed militia that harassed perceived enemies with violence.
Dr. Wood presents a view of the Mormon Church doctrines and history that is accurate despite what even many Mormons themselves believe, as "The Authorities" make sure that only upper echelon men in the "Priesthood" truly know what the short and long term plans of this church are. For more information read "One Nation Under Gods" and you will find the Dr. Woods' book is not so far fetched. In fact you may even come to believe that the Mormon church is closer to it's radical goal of a Mormon global theocracy than you think. Just think a Mormon in the Whitehouse could it be? The answer is yes his name is Karl Rove.

Summary: Truth, Not Blind Faith
Comment: I really enjoyed reading this non fiction account of Utah government. I call it that because that's who runs this state, the Mormons, I know we live here.
I learned alot, but nothing that really surprised me, just confirmed a lot of suspicions. I've already read Under The Banner of Heaven and that was an eye opener! Because there were so many references to the truth in The Mormon Conspiracy I'll really dig into "the truth" concerning Mormons.

Summary: Awesome Book
Comment: Reviewer: A reader from CA
I just finished reading the book, The Mormon Conspiracy, and I felt compelled to write a review. I was skeptical of the testimony of Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon from day one, but was assured that it was only because I didn't know enough yet to understand it. I had always been interested in archaeology and I knew a lot about what Mesoamerica was like because of the archaeological data. So I knew that much of what was in the Book of Mormon was simply false. But I continued to pretend that I had a strong testimony of the truthfulness of everything the church leaders taught because I wanted so badly to believe and to be one of them. I went back to school to get an Associate's degree. Then in fall of 2001, I was working on homework in Critical Reasoning, one of my classes, when the missionaries stopped by one night and visited us. One of them asked me why I never attended church with my husband as I should. I told them that I had some problems to work out (my usual answer because it was easy to accept since I'm putting the blame for my lack of faith on myself and not the church). He then asked me if I believed that Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God, and I almost said automatically, yes (it's so ingrained in us to answer that way). But by this time my critical reasoning skills (which Carl Sagan had termed a "bologna detection kit") had been sharpened in my class, and I was beginning to have the courage to challenge illogical claims. I thought for a moment and said that I never knew the man and could not say whether he was a prophet or a fraud. He asked me to kneel down right there and pray about it. I said no, I had a better idea. Since everything I knew about Joseph Smith had come to me from the people who wanted me to believe that Smith was a prophet, I would research the man and find objective documented information on him and share what I found with them. I did my research and it was incredibly upsetting. At times I felt physically sick. I can't explain the turmoil going on inside me. Before long, I had read all about not only Joseph Smith, but everything else connected with him. The Mormon church is fond of saying, "And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free". That's probably the truest thing the church has ever said. I felt both elated that it wasn't me that was wrong, and angry that I had been lied to all these years-I suffered spiritual abuse at the hands of people I had put my trust in! I am currently a student, living on campus and majoring in Anthropology. I am learning in depth all about the ancient people of this hemisphere from Northern Canada to South America. More importantly, I am learning to be a scholar with a scrupulous intellectual honesty. A few weeks ago, I saw a review of The Mormon Conspiracy and decided that I would like to read it, and finally bought it and found the time to read it (in a day and a half). It scared the hell out me, to be blunt. I have been threatened with excommunication (on charges of speaking against the Lord's anointed and immorality) if I speak against the church to anyone else. One person that I think should read The Mormon Conspiracy is one of the students in my class, America Before Columbus. I feel so sorry for her because when the instructor was discussing the origin of the native people in this hemisphere and the hypotheses regarding how they got here (by way of the Bering land bridge and the ice- free corridor, and other possibilities) she suggested that they came over from the middle east on a boat. She stated that the Book of Mormon that tells exactly where the first people came from and how they lived. He told her (politely of course) that the Book of Mormon was very wrong and as we go through the semester, she will learn of all the verifiable archaeological evidence that proves that it is wrong. She tried to argue with him and she seemed upset. When I was preparing to leave to start the Fall semester, my home teacher and bishop came by to see me. I was "counseled" by the bishop to change my major to something more appropriate for a good latter-day saint woman. He suggested that it would not build my testimony to study subjects that contradict what God has revealed to us pertaining to who we are and where we came from. Sorry for making this so long, but it felt good to tell someone how I have felt, and that I think the book, The Mormon Conspiracy is awesome. It needs to be read by everyone. It has inspired me to action.
