‘Use a picture. It’s worth a thousand words’ (Arthur Brisbane, 1911, http://apt.rcpsych.org/content/15/2/81.full)

So now that the church claims they are trying to be honest about church history, including Joseph Smith's plural marriages, then where are the portraits, sculptures, etc. of these "sacred loneliness" plural wives? All I find on lds.org for marriage-oriented pictures of Joseph Smith are ones with just one of his wives, Emma Hale Smith.

Here's some accurate LDS artwork they could use to illustrate the essay.
I'd be happy to sell the church the rights to use it :)

they can't go back in time & erase the images used at many, many open-houses, showing joe sitting at a table with the plates, reading to a 'scribe'.
Nope, it can't be done.

... or the pictures of a 14 year old JS sitting up in his bed with an angel in glorious light, floating in the air at the other end of the bedroom, talking with him. The problem is that history shows that in those years, Joseph shared a bedroom with his brother. Some day the cult is going to have to admit that these are just stories, not what really happened.
