If it were in the Journal of Discourses it wouldn't be doctrinal.

They are soo cute. I will ask my wife tonight
If she'd entertain the thought of having some of white & delightsome girls as sisterwives.
Besides, she could use some help around the house and stuff like that.

can someone please give a good reference of Joseph Smith making this flaming sword claim. I've never seen this quote so I suspect it's bogus.
"… Do you believe Jesus Christ and the gospel of salvation which he revealed? So do I. Christians should cease wrangling and contending with each other, and cultivate the principles of union and friendship. I am just as ready to die defending the rights of a Presbyterian, a Baptist, or a good man of any other denomination." Joseph Smith jr. Sermon, 1843

Flaming or not, isn't that kind of low-brow for God??
I mean, doesn't he usually destroy with lighting??

Permission of first wife.
How did Joseph get around the plain language of the 'commandment'?
The revelation was for Emma's eyes only. It was so he could secure her permission to marry the Lawrence and Partridge sisters.
Section 132 was drafted to govern Emma's conduct, not Joseph's.
"Finally, for your rather strange idea that miracles are somehow linked to the amount of gay sexual gratification that is taking place would require that primitive Christianity was launched by gay sex, would it not?"

I remember walking up to one Christian (dressed up as a “wife”) yesterday who had tears in her eyes. I asked her what the matter was and she simply said she was overwhelmed with sorrow over all the Mormon people at the pageant who were deceived by the Mormon religion. All around us were very cordial, very outstanding interactions going on.
Oh how tender and sweet. Oooooooo...
One wonders if this tender little Christian woman scrutinizes her own faith with the same methodology she reserves for the LDS faith. I highly doubt it. Might create a bit of cog dis.
