Mormonism's Greatest Downfall.

[_Ray A]

Bull Dinkie! Joseph Smith was no supporter of polygamy and in fact, it caused him some doubts.

When?

[_why me]

There is no solid evidence that Rigdon ever practised polygamy (though such claims were made). You may be confusing him with Strang.

However, if Rigdon wrote the Book of Mormon, he would have let the cat out of the bag when his daughter Nancy was asked to be a plural wife by Joseph Smith. But Rigdon did not let the cat out of the bag because there was no cat in the bag. And Rigdon did not leave the church because of it. Now isn't that strange?

[_why me]

Parley P. Pratt wrote ""beware of seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils" what was his doctrine when he courted married women?

Could it be obeying god's will?

[_why me]

The funniest thing about this is that if a critic had got something like this wrong, he would be trumpeting it as an example of outright ignorance at best, or blatant dishonesty at worst.

What does it say when their "10 out of 10" guy can't come across as even mildly informed on any aspect of Mormonism?

No one's perfect????

That was a prime cause of his apostasy.

Did Christ teach or practice plural marriage?

Who knows but what we have at this moment would impy no. But wasn't Christ the god of the old testament? I remember hearing this somewhere but I don't know where.

With which your Catholic friends obviously agree.

Maybe in Mormon Sunday School? 30 years ago?

[_why me]

What I don't understand is why some apologists are so adamant that Joseph didn't have sex with his married wives. If he really was commanded to take them as wives, why the squeamishness about their being consummated? I don't get it.

It would not bother me in the least if he did have sex with them. But the pretext behind plural marriage was not sex or raising a righeous seed for Joseph Smith. He was all about kinship in the after life.

No sex, of course. Just "kinship".
