Re: BYP LIVE! William E. McClellan Eyewitness to Joseph Smith's Apostasy
I might not have been as clear as I could have, I was on a roll ya know.... :lol: Yes, I tried to show there were atrocities on BOTH sides, and the Mormons were not the innocent victims the church has made them out to be. Sure there are always innocents involved in the cross fire, no doubt. But Mor...

Re: Backyard Professor Responds to Sandra Tanner on 1831 Revelation on Polygamy
Was Fanny Alger of Lamanite or Nephite descent? Fanny wasn't a Lamanite. Apologists just claim that this 1831 revelation is proof that Joseph had been commanded to live polygamy even before he received the sealing keys (or the revelation that became Section 132 in the D&C). They do this in an attem...

Re: Hyrum's descendants
Following the murders of Joseph and Hyrum Smith at Carthage Jail on June 27, 1844, Joseph's wife and children joined up with the RLDS. Hyrum's family followed Brigham Young. What is known about why Hyrum's kin chose to follow Brigham? I believe the key to that, is studying Mary Fielding Smith (Hyru...

Re: Behold, a challenger approaches the ivory tower
There is no official or contemporary documentation that definitively proves or disproves whether Joseph Smith was married to Fanny Alger. Oliver Cowdery, one of the Three Witnesses to the Book of Mormon, wrote a letter to his brother Warren in 1838, in which he accused Joseph Smith of adultery with...

The content of the Nauvoo Expositor was written by the individuals who founded the newspaper, including William Law, Charles Ivins, and Robert Foster, among others. Correct. Do you believe they did not personally know J...
