This petition is between you and God. You can bet a record is being kept in heaven of who holds His servant, Joseph Smith, "in derision", and who accepts Joseph as a truth-telling, noble, virtuous servant chosen by God. 

DC 122:1 The ends of the earth shall inquire after thy name, and fools shall have thee in derision, and hell shall rage against thee.

JSH 1:33 He called me by name, and said unto me that he was a messenger sent from the presence of God to me, and that his name was Moroni; that God had a work for me to do; and that my name should be had for good and evil among all nations, kindreds, and tongues, or that it should be both good and evil spoken of among all people.

Brigham is lying or Joseph is. Both cannot be telling the truth. There is no Option C where both are telling the truth. The Brighamites will tell you to put it on the shelf where you will find out "later" how Joseph wasn't lying by condemning polygamy publicly and secretly practicing it behind Emma's/everyone's back. That is pure mental gymnastics. And don't fall for the trickery to get you to believe that sealings are the same thing as marriage. Joseph was sealed to men too, but he wasn't having sex with them!

Anybody who believes Joseph was publicly denouncing what he was privately practicing (even behind Emma's back) is a "having Joseph in derision". Is that you?

I invite you to stop ignoring the issue of polygamy, and to stop the mental gymnastics that must be done to try to rationalize Joseph's deceit.

Why not just take Joseph at his word? He condemned polygamy and fought it.

Brigham is the one who institutionalized it and practiced it for many years secretly while never uttering a peep about it when Joseph was alive. Brigham operated in the dark because Joseph would have excommunication Brigham over it, as he did others. 

In your heart and for your sake, sign the petition that shows God you are not "stoning" God's messenger. 

Saying or believing Joseph practiced polygamy (having sex with women other than Emma) all while he fought against polygamy publicly is saying he was sinning, and brings you cursing.
