I see Ed Felt posted a couple of links that I was going to post (until I saw them). We should keep in mind that we should not apply recentism to past history. Today, it's considered appalling if someone marries an underage (
@@DBrentWalton It was highly unusual for young girls to marry men that were well into their 30s. Also more unusual was to marry a man who was already married. Joseph Smith married women who were already married to other men. Joseph Smith lied to his wife Emma about it and he lied publicly about plural marriage.
@@DBrentWalton Brigham Young was 42 when he married a 15 year old, Lorenzo Snow was 57(!) when he married a 16 year old..where do you draw the line? At what point does it become predatory? If JS owned slaves would you have a problem with that?
The story of Joseph Smith's death that the LDS church teaches is very different than the story from other non church sources. Take from that whatever you will.
Why did the Mormons give sanctuary to highwaymen and cutthroats at Nauvoo? The elders were paid for this service. It was said if you went to Nauvoo after dark you could get your throat cut. For true history read Bandittis of the Prairie.
This is awesome! I love it!

Geez. You didn't stay long in Zion itself. I wonder why.
