It would be good to see you write some.

You asked for it...you got it:

Lavina Fielding Anderson, editor of the Journal of Mormon History, wrote, "I was shocked and disgusted to discover that Joseph Smith married a fourteen-year-old girl, fully consummated that marriage, and concealed it from Emma. My image of "prophet" did not accommodate this kind of behavior. I could not begin to find holy motives for such behavior" ("The Garden God Hath Planted: Explorations Toward a Maturing Faith," Sunstone, October 1990, pp. 26-27).

Face it, OMm...Truth is truth whether you like it, or not!

Are you still denying what Mormon historians accept as fact (that 37 year old Joseph Smith married 14 year old Helen Mar Kimball, among other teenagers)?

Are you still claiming that this piece of history is a fabrication of an anti-mormon (pro-Christian) author?
