Two more bite the dust!

Post by _charity »

A genetic testing lab just released data that according to DNA testing, Mosiah Hancock and Oliver Buell, the darlings of the polyandry crowd, are definately NOT Joseph Smith's offspring.

How do you know that? The pool has been diluted so much in the past that you could not POSSIBLY identify ancestry.

God just changed the DNA to test the faith of the critics.

I think it would be morally right to lie about your religion to edit the article favorably.

I hate to be the one to tell you this, charity, but that doesn't prove Joseph didn't have sex with his polyandrous wives. Not every sexual encounter results in a pregnancy (I'm sure you know this and are simply ignoring this fact).

Why do you care? Joseph Smith would not have been wrong to have sex with his wives, would he?

And, by the way, Josephine Lyon is the real darling.

Ongoing research includes evaluation of Josephine Lyon (Sylvia Sessions Lyon) autosomal DNA. "Hundreds of DNA samples from male and female descendants of both Josephine Lyon and Joseph Smith have been collected and are being analyzed with the objective of identifying lineage-specific markers..." (Perego, Woodward, Journal of Mormon History, Vol 32, No.2 fn 39). Descendants of Josephine participating in this study have indicated the research is "promising" in confirming Josephine as a daughter of Joseph Smith. The researchers are also hoping to study the other possible children of Joseph Smith and welcome the involvement of descendants.

What won't go away is the prospective "wife's" instinctual repulsiveness when asked to be a plural wife - that old rule go with your instinct was followed by very few and those who did'New Testament eventually found themselves feeling betrayed and even homeless.

Funny thing is, if the results showed he did father some bastard children, you and your MAAD gaggle would just say that it does not matter because Casper the holy ghost rubbed you with his warm and fuzzy.

Incase you have not noticed, him having sex with other men, women, and children is not the reason life long members exit TSCC.

So if you defenders do not believe he had any sex with his wives, then please explain why all others before and after him did.

Additionally, if he did not have any marital relations with the women, why does TSCC use the term POLYGAMY when discussing this principle that he restored?

Polygamy does not mean spiritual sealing.

What goes around comes around. In Joseph's case, he got exactly what he deserved.

Same goes for Briggie.
