And the last time I checked, the LORD had some rather harsh things to say about bearing false witness.

Yep and you should pay attention from implying to embellishment!

Sorry if I was guilty of implying to embellishment

Would you please provide me with an example where I said something untrue about Joseph Smith's sexual practices?

I would like to learn from my mistake(s) and publicly issue the appropriate apologies and retraction(s).

Thanks.

Incidentally, if your are referring to Todd Compton's list of Joseph's 33 plural wives, you should know Todd is (was?) a devout Mormon and a respected historian. His roster is accepted by most serious scholars as authoritative.

However, it may interest you to know some historians assert Compton was far too conservative. For example, in her classic biography No Man Knows My History, Fawn Broadie makes a compelling argument Joseph had 58 plural wives. She bases the crux of her argument on material (including marriage records) taken from LDS archives. You should refer to Appendix D of her book for citations in support of her claim.
