Bravo Mr. Bourne! Well said.Jason Bourne wrote:Sounds like a lot is left out and some added to make is feel nice and sweet. Too bad. No surprise though. As noted this is a spin off of the Church produced film on Joseph that is at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. And that one is totally faith promoting and almost mythical.

It wasn't until much latter that I learned of Joseph's polygamy/polyandry and all the crap and embarrassment she had to put up with, and then it all made sense. To tell Emma's story without the context of what she went through is doing her a great disservice.
Exactly my sentiments!
What an evil it is to withhold the truth from good and unassuming people.
This is yet another example of the foundation mixed of clay and iron.
