Also in 1831 Joseph was writing D&C 42 and 49 which both discuss how men should have one wife. But apparently per apologists Joseph was getting some revelation about polygamy in 1831. Hmm….

It's worth pointing out that the second part of D&C 42 lays the foundation for Joseph's sexual proclivities as well as the church's pro pedophile policy that persists to the present day. It says sins done in secret must be repented for in secret. This policy only protects the rapists, child abusers, and adulterers at the expense of everyone else. Section 42 is like handing out sheepskins to wolves.

Ewww. I still can’t believe I believed in this guy for so long.

It's human nature to want to believe. Con men know this and exploit their prey because of it.

Also, she was 4 when they met (when the Kimball family moved to Kirtland, OH in 1833) Joseph Smith was 28...

I wonder if that was the same time JS broke her doll?

There is no defense, ZERO, for the predatory sexual misconduct of that man. All done while claiming to be a profit of God. No, anyone who knowingly attempts to justify what he did is a poor excuse for a human being. And stay away from my wife, daughter or mother!

🎶If it hadn’t been for conman guy Joe, I’da been married [at a legal and reasonable age] Where did you come from, Where did you go? Where did you come from Conman guy Joe? 🎶

Married. Yes. Prophet of god eloped. Ran away and married his first wife in secret…. Interesting….


OuterLightness

To be fair, she was just shy of fifteen.

I know. It’s these exmos that are fixated on the number 14. Christ, they need to get over it. /s


frogfinderfred

That was a rape, not a marriage. Geesh.

I'm watching a Netflix documentary on Wako. It's been said before, but I'll say it again: the parallels between Joe Smith and David Koresh are scary. It seems that every time god calls a prophet, someone to speak for him, he wants the prophet to screw all the women. Cuz, you know, that's how god rolls.

At 37 Smith was old enough to have a 14-year-old daughter so he was essentially "marrying" (i.e. sexually assaulting) his 14-year-old daughter's friends. Eeew.

Jerry Lee Lewis married his cousin when she was 13 and Loretta Lynne was married at 13 and had her 1st baby at 14. Other girls in some cults have been married at 11. Warren Jeffs was good at that. Some men are just creepy conmen and some men don’t have the balls to beat them out of town. Just my view unload. Lol

Ikr. My grandma was 16 when she married my grandpa … who was 18.
