	Extermination Order (Mormonism) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The "Extermination Order" is known in Latter Day Saint history as the executive order issued on October 27, 1838 by Missouri governor Lilburn Boggs to have Mormons driven from the state in response to what he termed "open and avowed defiance of the laws, and of having made war upon the people of this State...

	The Watchman Expositor: 60 Minutes and Mormonism
		Mormons say the polygamy reversal was not a change of doctrine since their church still teaches that plural marriage is a true doctrine from God.
		Since Mormon church leaders and proponents seek to gloss over history crucial to a real understanding of Mormonism - now, it would seem, with the collusion of national media - this issue of the Watchman Expositor is devoted primarily to an historical overview of important events and doctrines of Mormonism.
		Mormonism's history is a history of change, from the evolution of its basic doctrine of God, to its concept of authority and structural organization, its teaching on marriage, its temple garments and ordinances, its treatment (not regard) of outsiders, even the name of the church itself.

		They are intentional because she claims to be speaking from experience as not an ex-Mormon, but a Mormon, and from experience with public schools and LDS seminaries in Utah.
		Any Mormon living in Utah would know that her testimony here was meant to impress anyone besides Mormons, since most would laugh at her ludicrous suggestions.
		Her defense of Lilburn Boggs's "extermination order," her sympathetic understanding of a state governor's declaration of utter war against a substantial number of his own citizenry, is perfectly astonishing.

	Dr. Daniel C. Peterson/UMI Director Dennis Wright Correspondence - SHIELDS
		A person whose message is chiefly a negative one against Mormonism is an anti-Mormon; if, by contrast, he is simply arguing or testifying affirmatively with regard to his own faith, he is not -- at least, at that moment, in that capacity -- an anti-Mormon.
		Thus, clearly, a Mormon who attempted to convert a Protestant by affirmatively arguing for or testifying of the truth of his own beliefs would not be an anti-Protestant.
		On the other hand, if that Mormon dwelt more on the deficiencies of Protestantism than on the truth of Mormonism, he could quite fairly be termed an anti-Protestant.
