Heber C. Kimball (First Counselor to Brigham Young)

"Christians - those poor, miserable priests Brother Brigham was speaking about - some of them are the biggest whoremasters there are on the earth ..." (Journal of Discourses 5:89).

How can he say that with out thinking of Joseph Smith and his hanky panky with married women? What about booty chasing Brigham? Do Mormons not know the history of these men?

Heber c. Kimball himself had 45 wives...complained at one time that the Lds missionaries were getting the best of the lot of single women when they would bring converts back to Utah...and that he wanted the pretty ones saved for the leaders.

And 'twas Kimball that offered up his 14 yo daughter, Helen Mar, as a "sacrificial marriage offering" to Smith's lust for more women.

Kimball was a counselor to Brigham Young...one of the thee highest members in the Lds hierarchy.
