Joseph Smith - founder of Mormonism - Freemason_______________________________________________________
Joseph Smithhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Smith
Joseph Smith, Jr. (December 23, 1805 – June 27, 1844) was an American religious leader and the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement.
The early Nauvoo years were a period of doctrinal innovation. Smith introduced baptism for the dead in 1840,[233] and in 1841,
construction began on the Nauvoo Temple as a place for recovering lost ancient knowledge.[234] An 1841 revelation promised the
restoration of the " fulness of the priesthood,"[235] and in May 1842, Smith inaugurated a revised endowment or "first anointing."[236]
The endowment resembled rites of freemasonry that Smith had observed two months earlier when he had been initiated into the Nauvoo Masonic lodge.[237]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freemasonry_and_the_Latter_Day_Saint_movement [ A significant numbers of leaders in the early Latter Day Saint movement were Masons prior to their involvement in the movement.
Notable examples include Brigham Young, Heber C. Kimball, John C. Bennett, Hyrum Smith and Joseph Smith, Sr.
In the early 1840s a Masonic Lodge was formed by LDS Church members who were Freemasons. Joseph Smith, Jr. and his brother Hyrum
became members of the newly formed Nauvoo lodge. It appears that John C. Bennett had a particularly strong influence in the spread of Freemasonry,
and soon over 1,500 Mormon men in the city of Nauvoo were practicing Masons. LDS historian Reed Durham writes: ]
By the mid-1830s, Smith began teaching a hierarchy of three priesthoods ( Melchizedek, Aaronic, and Patriarchal),[319] each of them a continuation
of biblical priesthoods through patrilineal succession or ordination by biblical figures appearing in visions.[320] Upon introducing the Melchizedek or
"High" Priesthood in 1831,[321] Smith taught that its recipients would be "endowed with power from on high," thus fulfilling a need for a greater holiness
and an authority commensurate with the New Testament apostles.[322] This doctrine of endowment evolved through the 1830s,[323] until in 1842,
the Nauvoo endowment included an elaborate ceremony containing symbolism similar to that of Freemasonry .[324] The endowment was extended
to women in 1843,[325] though Smith never clarified whether women could be ordained to priesthood offices.[326]

Occultic, Masonic Six-pointed Stars on Golden Mitre of Satan's Anti-Christ Roman Catholic Pope- The occultic, Masonic, Six-pointed Star connects Papal Rome with Freemasonry with Masonic Zionist "Israel"http://christianlifeandliberty.net/2011-07-15-Occultic-Masonic-Six-pointed-Stars-on-Golden-Mitre-of-Satans-Anti-Christ-Roman-Catholic-Pope.doc
The Six-pointed Star, commonly known as the "Star of David", is actually an ancient, occultic, mystic, Masonic symbol.
The pictures of Rome's current Pope Benedict XVI (German Joseph Ratzinger) wearing his golden mitre displaying the Six-pointed Stars,
in the report above, link the false Babylonian religion of Roman Catholicism practiced by Papal Rome, with the false Babylonian religion of
Freemasonry, with the Vatican / Jesuit General / Papal creation of the modern nation of Masonic Zionist "Israel" in 1948, displaying this
same occultic, Masonic symbol on its national flag:
Israelhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel

The implication of the so-called "Star of David" [sic] Masonic, Occultic, Six-pointed Star being used
as the symbol on the national flag of the modern (1948) Zionist, Masonic - led State of Israel, is thatMasonic - led Israel is a creation of Rome's Vatican / Papal / Jesuit General / Freemason / Illuminati New World Order.
