Good thing believing such does not preclude me from holding a temple recommend, or I might miss one of my children's weddings.

Why me,
I know a number of people who believe like you (I think). They realize that Joseph made some mistakes (albeit bad ones) but still think the overall mission is God's true mission. Maybe harmony's idea is another version of this.
Why do you say, "Unbelievable." ? People do this all the time.
I thought the real reason people call you a hypocrite is because of your actions (i.e. not going to church but defending it). Whaaasuuuup?
Similar to the reasons people call me a hypocrite I guess. I go to church but don't believe. So you and I are actually in the same boat just opposite ends of the spectrum. Maybe we could hang out?

Let's see...
Harmony attends church on a regular basis, you do not. Harmony accepts volunteer positions there(a.k.a. callings), you do not. Harmony wear gamies(sorry if that is TMI harms), you do not. Harmony pays fast offerings, you do not. Harmony pays tithing, YOU DO NOT.

I think every man gets horny enough to end up in this situation, I just don't think every man is smart enough to end up in this sort of situation.
The problem is: There is no sign that Joseph Smith was suffering from alfa male chimp syndrome. Sex was not the reason for being sealed to these women. Not one of these women ever claimed that Joseph Smith was a horny toad and showed signs of lust in bed. In fact, the women still respected him even after his murder.
Now it would be wonderful if Emma would have left him and denounced him. But she remained loyal to him and to his calling. Emma was no pushover and she was a strong frontier woman. More was happening at that time than we know.

And harmony does all these things to keep the fascade going and her temple recommend intact. Hypocrite. And you are a hypocrite for defending her. And I can say this because over and over again you have called me a hypocrite but no where do I deceive people.
Harmony believes Joseph Smith is a false prophet and BY too. If she would make this announcement in RS or anywhere in the church, she would be in the bishop's office. But she is silent.

Really? I mean Really why me? There are no signs that Joseph Smith suffered from alfa male syndrome?
Started a church that he was the head of Started a legion that he was general of Started a bank that he was in charge of Ran for president Wanted to be king of the world Took other men's wives
These are not signs of someone suffering from alfa male syndrome?

I went into my bishop's office voluntarily to tell him those things. He asked me to keep reading the Book of Mormon and to keep a calling in the church. So is he asking me to act hypocritically? Dude, we've all gotta do what we've gotta do. Although I don't quite understand your position, I totally get Harmony's and was very close to doing the same thing. Ms. Jack, you go girl!!! You are a girl, right?
You're really wasting your time with why me, Lucinda. His arguments are abortions of logic and common sense and he never changes them nor revises his position, no matter how often he's proven ignorant and/or wrong.
Besides, he attends the Catholic church and hasn't attended the LDS church for years, so for him to lecture harmony on what to do in Relief Society is just precious.
Also, please accept my belated welcome to MormonDiscussions.com.

I have read eyewitness reports that Joe would crap in his hand and throw it at detractors that taunted him in jail.
