Oh really John - or are you more interested in the church being 'true' than the truth? AFA the bom's claims, we've hardly scratched the surface on that point John, so far we've been discussing the false presentation of smith's so-called 'virtue' and martial fidelity shall we say. And I've hardly scratched the surface of the research and evidences that show to all with an unbiased mind that smith practiced polygamy (in addition to starting it).
You earlier stated my sources were 'tainted' because they were trying to justify their 'sin'. I've supplied sources that are free of that John - and included smith's own words as well.
God knows your motives. I do not. But I cannot see how your sloppy attacks can do anybody any good. I think that you are wasting the days of your probation trying to tear down what you don't like, instead of laboring to build up what you love.
My so-called 'attacks' have been nothing but the presentation of the truth. Calling them 'sloppy' is just a sad effort to deflect the sharpness of the truth they contain. Some may want to hide behind their walls of fictious reality - denying truth and holding to fantasy - and that fantasy will eventually end up being their destruction. Silence regarding Smith's own handwriting on the subject is very telling as to fact or fantasy.
After the Mormons went to Utah withgout the Smith family Joery Smiths widow Emma Smith told her children that joey had never had any polygamous relationships...
She pretended for the rest of her life that her cheatin no good husband had been true to her...
When 2 of the Smith boys went to Utah years later Brigham Young realized they didnt know and sadistly got pleasure out of revealing the truth of Joeys serial adultery to them...
the truth destroyed one and messed up another...
