I assume you read that portion of the William McLellin papers wherein he wrote a letter to Joseph Smith III, telling him that Eliza R. Snow miscarried Joseph's child when Emma literally kicked her down the stairs of the Nauvoo House as she threw her out?
I've never really understood this... why take it all out on Eliza? Joseph was obviously half the problem.
(Nevo, Jan 23) And the Melchizedek Priesthood may not have been restored until the summer of 1830, several months after the organization of the Church.
What is your hypothesis then, if HOJ is not it? What would cause you to worry about whether or not Joseph Smith fathered any children from his other wives?
As usual you have nothing.
What I have ain't HOJ and I notice it is you who actually have nothing when presented with the opportunity to change your mind.

No you don't have HOJ nor do I, especially when it comes to considering DNA as proof that his only motivation was sex. I asked you if you would stop with the HOJ argument if DNA showed he did father children from wives other than Emma and you have admitted that the DNA has nothing to do with HOJ in your mind. What you did do is try to assign HOJ to me (and that seems to be about all you have since you keep trying it) but when presented with the opportunity to show when I have said sex was his only motivation you have nothing. Give it up BC. My mind has not changed, you still are presenting straw man HOJ and DNA when you your self do not accept it.
