You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

Johnson in Evergreen Cemetery, Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin.</ref> was an early leader in the [[Latter Day Saint movement]] and an original member of the [[Quorum of the Twelve|Quorum of the Twelve Apostles]]. He broke with [[Joseph Smith]] and [[Sidney Rigdon]] during the 1837–38 period when [[schism]] divided the early church. Johnson later became a successful [[American pioneer|pioneer]] [[lawyer]] in [[Iowa]] and was one of the town fathers of [[Keokuk, Iowa]].

Johnson was born in [[Pomfret, Vermont|Pomfret]], [[Windsor County, Vermont]], to [[John Johnson (Latter Day Saints)|John Johnson]], and Elsa Jacobs.<ref name=":0">((Cite book|last=McCune|first=George M.|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8wvlAAAACAAJ|title=Personalities in the Doctrine and Covenants and Joseph Smith–History|publisher=Hawkes Publishing|year=1991|isbn=9780890365182|location=Salt Lake City, Utah|pages=63–64))</ref> The family moved to [[Hiram Township, Portage County, Ohio|Hiram, Ohio]], in 1818, where they established the [[John Johnson Farm]], a successful ((convert|300|acre|km2|sing=on)) farm.

==Involvement in the Latter Day Saint movement==

===Early contact===
Johnson was baptized into the [[Church of Christ (Latter Day Saints)|Church of Christ]] by Sidney Rigdon in February 1831.<ref name=":0" /> [[Joseph Smith]] and [[Emma Hale Smith]] moved into the Johnson family home on September 12, 1831.((Citation needed|date=June 2021)) Johnson was then ordained an [[Elder (Mormonism)|elder]] on October 25, 1831 and a [[High Priest (Mormonism)|high priest]] of the church on November of that same year. In response to a revelation given on January 25, 1832, Johnson joined [[Orson Pratt]] on an evangelizing [[LDS missionaries|mission]] which took them through the eastern United States.<ref name=":0" /> The two were successful preachers and brought many converts to [[Mormonism]] on this and other missions.

===Quorum of the Twelve===
In the summer of 1834, Johnson marched with the [[Zion's Camp]] expedition which hoped to restore Latter Day Saints in [[Missouri]] to their lands in [[Jackson County, Missouri|Jackson County]]. Although the expedition was a failure, many of the veterans of the expedition were soon called to high leadership positions in the church. Among these were Johnson and his brother [[Luke Johnson (Mormon)|Luke]], who were among the original twelve men called on February 14, 1835, to be "Special Witnesses" or [[Apostle (Latter Day Saints)|apostles]] in a "traveling high council" of the church, later known as the Council or [[Quorum of the Twelve]]. The chief duty of the apostles was to preside over missionary activities. Johnson continued to operate as a successful missionary from 1835 to 1837. On September 4, 1834, Johnson was married to Sarah Susan Long.

===Bank failure===
The failure of the [[Kirtland Safety Society]], a bank founded by church leaders, led to widespread dissent in 1837. The church held a [[Presiding high council|high council]] trial on September 3, 1837, which ejected Johnson, his brother Luke, and [[John F. Boynton]] from the Quorum of the Twelve. Boynton explained that his difficulties with the church resulted from "the failure of the bank" which he had understood "was instituted by the will and revelations of God, and he had been told that it would never fail".<ref name="KCMB">((cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wWFwRouojf8C |title=Kirtland Council Minute Book |publisher=[[Collier's Publishing]] |isbn=978-0-934964-03-6 |editor1-last=Collier |editor1-first=Fred |language=en |access-date=6 May 2021 |editor2-last=Harwell |editor2-first=William S. |editor2-link=William S. Harwell))</ref>((rp|184–186)) Despite these difficulties, Johnson and the others temporarily reconciled with church leaders and were restored to their apostleships on September 10, 1837,<ref name="KCMB"/>((rp|188–189)) after which Johnson and his family moved to the Latter Day Saint settlement of [[Far West, Missouri]].

===Excommunications===
Meanwhile, schismatic strife between the loyalist faction and the dissenting faction continued to divide the church in Kirtland. The schismatic strife followed them, but in Far West, the loyalists were able to keep control by excommunicating the leadership of the Missouri church—[[David Whitmer]], [[John Whitmer]], [[W. W. Phelps (Mormon)|W. W. Phelps]]—along with [[Oliver Cowdery]], Johnson, and others. In Johnson's case, a list of seven charges were presented to him by the Far West High Council on April 9, 1838, which included the charge of "saying he would appeal the suit between him & Brother [[Phineas Young]] and take it out of the County." Johnson replied on April 12 that "I should not condescend to put my constitutional rights at issue upon so disrespectful a point, as to answer any of those other charges until that is withdrawn & until then shall withdraw myself from your society and fellowship."<ref name="FWR">((cite book |editor1-last=Cannon |editor1-first=Donald Q. |editor2-last=Cook |editor2-first=Lyndon W. |editor1-link=Donald Q.
