I never really thought about it much...I knew he had more than Emma, but that is all I know...why isn't that as prominent in the history of the church? I saw the Joseph Smith movie...not much was said about his other wives. Is this some kind of embarrassing secret of the church? Not much is said about BY's wives or any of the other prophet's wives...why is that?
The above poster is a 3 year convert who is a single mother who lives in an apartment. She seems to be content taking the free handouts from the women of her ward you feel the need to "serve" her:
I'm a "new" convert of three years. What kept me faith full as Satan attacked and I started to get discouraged was the sense of family that I felt in my ward. I was shown the love and I felt it.
There was the night that the relief society ladies all gathered outside of my balcony window with candles in their hands singing songs of encouragement. and the time the I heard a knock on my door, when I answered it, nobody was there, but there were six bags of groceries sitting there.
Or the time that we opened our door to fond our whole door completely covered in crape paper and balloons and a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY sign above it.
Or when I was in the hospital with pneumonia...The ladies cleaned my whole house including the microwave, fridge and toilets...then plastered paper hearts all over my walls all through the house with verses and encouraging sayings. Then when I got home...they brought over meals and the priesthood brought the sacrament to ME the first two weeks that I couldn't go to church!!
That's not to mention the time I had mt heart attack or the many other instances, just tonight...I just got home from the Hill Cumora Pageant, I live an hour away from the Hill...I have no car, I have been a member 3 years, this is the sixth time I've seen the Pageant...someone ALWAYS offers to take us!!!
There were time when I felt like giving up, It would have been a lot easier if the ladies in the relief society would have left me alone!! I even told them that one Sunday!! I said, sometimes I wish you ladies DIDN'T love me so much!! It's hard to fall away when I am so darned MISSED when I don't come to church!!! ...I LOVE my ward
Wow, imagine her let down when she realizes all of the above was done by ASSIGNMENT and only in an effort to retain her.. task tsk.
Then again she seems to be getting some freebies and these women probably fawn over each other as they talk about how they helped this poor sister... a match made in .... well never mind.
Is anyone going to save that thread? You can change to a printable version at the top (that's easier to save). If not tell me and I'll save it.

Well it appears I rattled that poor woman's cage a bit. Doubt she comes back any time soon.
Hope they don't delete all those posts.

Sweet Joseph!
Good work!
Our posts are still up (for now....) and that woman says she's been over at Nort's site.

Ya know, guys, when we get drive-by flamethrowers, we move them to Outer Darkness or at least the Telestial forum. I suppose it's too much to ask that you be respectful and dignified when you present your arguments? The gleefulness hurts your credibility, and by extension, ours.

It wasn't flamethrowing.....heck all the posts over there could go in the Celestial Kingdom probably.
