My vote is for William Law and Issac Hales a close second.

These guys are the true heros in the sordid history of the Morg.

uh...Tom Phillips???

+1

Thing is folks, I can't tell ya what all I know and who I have *known* without ya'll questioning my honesty.

But at least I know it and that will have to do.

Any other qwestions?

Jesse Gause would be my vote, followed perhaps by
Ezra Booth and the Law brothers.

Of Mormons who actually endured unto the end, maybe
Orson Spencer deserves mention.

Those are all men, of course. On the female side,
Sarah Pratt and Mrs. Stenhouse deserve remembrance.

UD

I think it would the members who are super TBM. People who are not at all known, like one of my friends. They actually follow all of the rules and practice what the Church preaches.

As for their leaders, they're not always so honest.

An apostate.

Any child who just got baptized. The honesty wears off sooner or later but that first day or two they are all programmed into being perfect/honest.

B. H. Roberts should be on a short list.

I'm sure B.H. Roberts was one of the most intellectually honest the Church ever produced. He did even stand up to Heber J. Grant when he wanted to "edit" Church history.

I can only imagine the reason he ended up never leaving the Church.

But all seriousness aside folks, I place in nomination the name of Frank Cannon..... a bic pol who saw the light early on:

Steve Benson

as quoted by his father at a Stake conference.

The Rector family was all gussied up and heading for conference, while their neighbors drove past with a trailered boat, obviously heading for a day on the ocean (I believe they lived in San Diego at that time.)

Elder Rector's son said wistfully, "Gee, Dad, they don't LOOK miserable at all. . ."

I have often wondered if that kid is now an exmo.

Strong questioning skills. Might be if he survived the death march for questioning the Mormon narrative.

same son who was arrested for BASE jumping off the church office building?

Sorry, it was his grand son -

Satan.
Everything he said was accurate.

The man who stabbed Heber C. Kimball in the eye for selling his daughter Helen Mar into polygamy so that he too could participate in illicit sexual activities alongside Joseph Smith.

Oh I forgot. I haven't actually completed this action yet. If there really is an afterlife it will surely be done.

John Whitmer should be listed.

The Paiute Native Americans.

Absolutely I have to give my vote and 100% support for J Golden Kimball. A GA who couldn't stop swearing. When he spoke in GC, they never knew what they were going to get.

moroni

you can attribute any characteristic you want to a make-believe person.

The most honest people in Mormon history were probably killed before they got their message out or caused enough of a fuss to get their names included in the written history.

I believe David Whitmer was the most vocal of the major players from early on. He supposedly maintained his testimony of the BoM, but at least he spoke up and exposed JS as a liar and fallen prophet at best.

+1 for William Law

Fawn Brodie

Porter Rockwell He was a killer and admitted it

I'd give my vote to William Law. Here is an "approved" source all about him https://byustudies.byu.edu/showtitle.aspx?title=5507

Sonia Johnson. :)
