How do apologists explain the 1835 editon of the D&C 101:4?

[_Simon Belmont]

"Were all of the polygamists breaking their own rules as per D&C 101:4 until 1876 when it was removed from the canon?"

Look at the website that PP linked to. It is irr.org, one of the worst anti-Mormon sites out there. Do you really believe you'll get a credible, fair and balanced discussion from that website?

Here is a good discussion on it:

Simon,

Sure you have the right thread here?

From what I can see JLH ate the apologists' lunch by a simple recital of the relevant documented facts. If this is the best you can do on the subject, you are not doing very well.

Simon,

One can read the entire 'one wife and one husband' thing in the 1835 Doctrine & Covenants, Section CI. I have a copy of this very edition, and I've read that section for myself.

I can go to familysearch.org and see a very long list of Joseph Smith's wives, along with their post-1835 marriage dates.

I can also go to the Maxwell Institute and hear their apologist admit that no less than seven of his 'marriages' involved sex.*

So... Help me out here...

Who are the anti-Mormons?

Is it Joseph Smith, Jr.? Callously ripping on Mormons by printing his sleazy anti-Mormon trash-sheet, the 1835 Doctrine and Covenants?

Or is it those slime-ball anti-Mormons over at familysearch.org? You know how they just twist things.

Or perhaps it's that cesspool of anti-Mormon excrement over at the Maxwell Institute? They just can't leave the church alone, can they?

Which of these nasty, hate-filled, anti-Mormon sources fabricated that whole unbelievable story about Mormons practicing polygamy in direct opposition to their own canonized scripture?

*search for the phrase "Sexuality in Joseph's plural marriages"

Simon? Simon?

Anyone seen Simon?
