11: The Kirtland Safety Society and the Fall of Kirtland
Podcast: Impressions of a Prophet: Joseph SmithPublished On: Tue Jan 28 2025
Description: In this episode we delve into the Kirtland Safety Society and how when it failed, many members of the Church left, some temporarily and some permanently, including members of the Quorum of the Twelve. The Kirtland Safety Society was basically a bank that was founded by Joseph Smith and other principal leaders of the Church. We talk about its founding, its collapse with the national banking crisis of 1837 (the same year it was formed), and what members of the church did in response. Why did they think it was a good idea to form it in the first place? Who invested money and who didn't? What happened to the money that was invested? What were people saying about Joseph when it failed? Who stayed by Joseph and who didn't? What did the Lord say about their time in Kirtland at the end of it all? Find the answers to these questions and more - hope you enjoy!
