Premiering Monday, 4 May 2026, at 3:00 pm Mountain Time, “On the Issue of Joseph Smith’s Childless Plural Wives” by Dan Vogel. See you there.
This video responds to the common argument from polygamy skeptics that Joseph Smith's lack of offspring with his plural wives proves he did not practice polygamy. To thoroughly examine this assertion, the video presents an in-depth analysis of the fertility profiles of the thirty-five documented wives of Joseph Smith, focusing on those most likely to conceive during that period. Although it was possible for some of the women to become pregnant by Joseph Smith, their individual circumstances and fertility histories offer plausible reasons why they may not have conceived or given birth to a child fathered by Smith.
