Emma Hale Smith Video

It's a preview for an upcoming movie. I just shook my head at this whitewashed version of her relationship with Ole Joe.

What, no mention of Emma’s 33 LDS-documented sister wives?

Perhaps it is just as well.

Because when people see the movie and THEN find out about Joseph Smith’s 33 (at least!) polygamous wives, they will wonder...

1) why the movie pretended that those wives didn't exist, and
2) what ELSE the Mormon church has misrepresented about itself.

Just more Joe worship - not much Emma there (n/t)

Re: Emma Hale Smith Video

It was too sappy and sweet for me, but what jumped at me was the song lyrics. She gave everything for her man, went without and had nothing to show for it. I thought JS put all his property in her name, and she fared quite well after his death with the mansion, a hotel and property in Illinois.

She suffered all right. She suffered BECAUSE of Joseph.

Re: Emma Hale Smith Video

My comment: "When Joseph cheated on her with his secret "plural wives" it must have devastated Emma. She held her head high, though."

It's now awaiting "approval." Do you think it will be approved?
