My TBM husband is reeling from the lds.org articles describing why blacks were unable to hold the priesthood and the polygamy of Joseph Smith. Do any of you know if they plan to release more historical info that may be doubt promoting?

First off, the mormon church is NOT publishing anything new. It's just that due to the internet, they HAVE BEEN FORCED TO ADMIT many things that have been known for years. For example, Fawn Brodie published a factual and detailed list of Joseph Smith's forty some wives (including the ones married to other men) seventy years ago in her still in print "No Man Knows My History".

The Mormon church denounced the book as a pack of lies and excommunicated her, but never challenged her listing. The recent essay you refer to is an admission by the church that Brodie was correct all along.
