The Mormons (1820) - Joseph Smith (died 1844) followed by Brigham Young.Again all three denominations have some things in common, they all have prophets, health reform, chastity reform and visions, but also all three have cultish behavior as well.For example the JW's believed Christ is to return in 1914 (first event did not occur as World War 1 broke out), E.G. White along with the Millerite movement believed that Christ was to return sometime in 1844, first time setting didn't eventuate and then it was reset to Oct 1844 around the time of the Jewish (Yom Kippur).

The book can be defended as canonical by Justin Martyr (c. 100-165 AD) who was acquainted with Polycarp, who had been mentored by John, although it wasn't sure if it was going to be included in the Canon. It was the last book to be canonized.
