A fairly high-ranking member claimed to me that Joseph Smith never married anyone else, with the claim that because it couldn’t be ‘proven’, it didn’t happen. This was just a couple of years ago.

NYSlimes says questions like these....

Why does the church always portray Joseph Smith translating the Book of Mormon from golden plates, when witnesses described him looking down into a hat at a “peep stone,” a rock that he believed helped him find buried treasure?

Why were black men excluded from the priesthood from the mid-1800s until 1978?

Why did Smith claim that the Book of Abraham, a core scripture, was a translation of ancient writings from the Hebrew patriarch Abraham, when Egyptologists now identify the papyrus that Smith used in the translation as a common funerary scroll that has nothing to do with Abraham?

Is it true that Smith took dozens of wives, some as young as 14 and some already wed to other Mormon leaders, to the great pain of his first wife, Emma?
