Lucy Harris and the lost 116 pages
The severely truncated education of Joseph Smith led him to expect the general public's acceptance of obvious garbage which he'd manufactured to conform with his own low standards of comprehension. This is often the case with intelligent but illiterate individuals. Items which they regard as connected somehow in their own minds but which could never be rendered intelligibly in written form (because the connection is more like a dream than the subject/predicate structure of written sentences & clauses) are immediately perceived as waffle—and in Smith's case, deceptive waffle—by anyone able to read and write. Smith would not have known that, as the necessity of his requiring scribes to write down his ravings demonstrates. Apart from the ravings themselves.
Mrs Harris appreciated this defect in Smith's character and was able to satisfy herself by a simple test. Con-artists using the written form really do need to be literate. The salient details are all there if you wish to research the matter further.

6. Christianity:
Additional witnesses recorded are of very substantial significance
Jesus left this world and was observed migrating to Heaven, which is where He is now. The witnesses all agree on His location after His ascension, which was also observed. These are not vague references to someone who walked down here as anyone else would but our final assurance that He really is up there. Whenever the sky opens up He is clearly visible, not as a trance hallucination after listening to out-of-tune music or twirling round about over and over again like a 5-year-old rolling down a hillside to go all dizzy. Except 5-year-olds know why they're dizzy. For your research I'm referring you to the following passages:
Acts 7:55-56 context Acts 6:9 – 8:2
Luke 24:51 context Luke 24:36-53
Mark 16:19 context Mark 16:9-20
Acts 1:9 context Acts 1:1-11
These references include a number of fulfillments of Prophecy from Joel and from Jesus Himself which is a significant difference from Confucius who never prophesied at all. How could a nonexistent person prophesy? Christ's prophecy in this example was not only made but was also correct.
