thought it was good and actually learned a thing or two I hadn't heard before, but like Todd Compton, you don't even mention D&C 132 right?
That's revelation from God right? If you can establish, using purely LDS sources, that both Joseph Smith and Brigham Young violated the revelation the Prophet himself claimed to have received from God, then that pretty much makes the revelation null and void, and the Prophet a fraud, right?
Both Joseph Smith and Brigham Young violated "The Law of the Priesthood" aka, "The New and Everlasting Covenant" (still contained in D&C 132:61) in at least 5 different ways by marrying other men's wives, to say nothing of them having sex with them and producing children with them, which is all a matter of public record on the church's own geneological website.
All of which is far worse than anything any of the rest of us have done.
In fact Joseph Smith and Brigham Young make Warren Jeffs look like a Boy Scout and he's sitting in a Federal Penitentiary on Child Rape charges.
Yet the church still insists to this day that "Joseph and Emma Smith centered their marriage and family in the gospel of Jesus Christ—an example to all."
