#REDIRECT[[Joseph Smith's trustworthiness]]
Joseph was open and direct about his weaknesses, saying to his accusers:
<blockquote>
Being of very tender years, and persecuted by those who ought to have been my friends... I was left to all kinds of temptations; and mingling with all kinds of society, I frequently fell into many foolish errors, and displayed the weakness of youth, and the foibles of human nature; which, I am sorry to say, led me into divers temptations, offensive in the sight of God. In making this confession, no one need suppose me guilty of any great or malignant sins. A disposition to commit such was never in my nature. But I was guilty of levity, and sometimes associated with jovial company, etc., not consistent with that character which ought to be maintained by one who was called of God as I had been. But this will not seem very strange to any one who recollects my youth, and is acquainted with my native cheery temperament.<ref>Joseph Smith, History (1838), 3&ndash;4; cited in {{Book:Jessee:Personal Writings of Joseph Smith 1st|pages=9&ndash;11}}</ref>
