Please tell us the "motives" Joseph F. Smith had to lie about his uncle when he said Smith was given the go-ahead for polygamy as early as 1832. Joseph F. Smith made that statement in 1878 -- when he was not beholden to Brigham Young...Brigham died in 1877.
You do always go around slandering & insinuating things re: the close family membes of Joseph Smith?
You can't be serious! Joseph F. Smith was a polygamist. He had every incentive to justify his sins, and therefore would quite apt to twist anything to make it look like Joseph Smith Jr was a polygamist!
In the memoirs of Joseph Smith III (1832-1914), who, beginning in 1860, served as president of the Reorganized church, are poignant accounts of his encountering plural wives during his missionary trips through Utah.
"I was once invited to [cousin] Joseph F.'s. He received me kindly as I arrived, and we chatted for a little while before supper was announced.... To me the situation in which I found myself seemed very strange. For the first time in my life I was permitted to see thus at close range the domestic relations of a polygamous family and the actual operation of a doctrine which had long been unspeakably repulsive to me. The very fibers of my being seemed to cry out in protest, and so strong was my prejudice and antipathy that I seemed to feel almost physically ill as I contemplated the scene. There, at one board sat a complacent man, surrounded by three wives and a large number of children ... The women did not take much part in our conversation. I thought I detected upon the countenances of two of them, evidence of some distress of mind, and possibly, regret, as if they were conscious that the opinions I would form of their family relations were not likely to be very complimentary to them."
