Note to self: Don't bring any street people who think they're God into my home. (Daddy Smart ain't so.)This is the first question I had. What in this Further Demented Mormon guys world was he thinking?
This guy and Joseph Simth were cut from the same clothe except JS had no screens to worry about and to my knowledge did not endorse polygamy.

Then your knowledge of Joseph Smith seems to be deficient. The reason the Mormons were run out of Illinois was polygamy.
As to the "prophecy", only those who haven't actually read the Bible would believe in a prophet in these times. Read the last bit of Revelations. The Book is finished. There will be no more prophets (and there haven't been).

I've been wondering where these drifters got their money to travel. And I'm about done with Mr. Smart. He loves the camera way too much.
The funniest thing I heard on the radio this week in Chicago was a caller who suggested that the girl might have slipped the drifter a note to get her away from the creepy father and the wraparound family.

Not only did Joseph Smith practice polygamy ( I forget right off how many wives he had, but I believe it was in excess of 20), but he also married the wives of other men while they were away on "missions".

Just found a reference that states that Smith had 33 wives. But he did denounce polygamy...conveniently it was once he was threatened by the law, as so many "divine" prophecies of Mormonism were altered.
