If you would prefer Joseph to not be a liar and hypocrite (in other words, you believe he was telling the truth when he publicly opposed and condemned polygamy), are you now willing to STAND UP FOR HIM? Please join us. This is called "coming unto Christ", or repentance. Because when you accept true teachings, you are turning to Christ and trusting in Him.
To those who choose the Brighamite teachings over Joseph's and the Book of Mormon, I say you are free to trust in Brigham over Joseph, and you're free to worship a God that commands what God declares to be an abomination. But allow me to worship a God (9th AoF) Who clearly condemns the whoredom, and Who preaches fidelity to one spouse.
Joseph's words speak from the dust -- he condemned and denounced polygamy every time the subject was brought up. Hidden things are being brought to light, as prophesied (1 Cor 4:5). No unhallowed hand can stop the truth from rolling forth.
In CONCLUSION, the big takeaway from this chart above is that, in contrast with Brigham and the church hierarchy in SLC, WE (Kathy and Joe) stand with Joseph Smith.
Isn't it evil speaking and derision of the Lord's anointed (Joseph Smith) to assert he was a liar and hypocrite by publicly denouncing polygamy (having sex with multiple wives) and then secretly practicing it? See DC 121:16-17.
I believe some LDS will refuse to even think about these questions above. Their refusal to even think about it, much less state whether they agree or disagree, is EVIDENCE that they buy into the dangerous and false precept of man that "the Lord will never permit me or any other man who stands as President of this Church to lead you astray." (OD 1) Many members SAY with their lips their leaders are "fallible" but they do not believe it. They trust them like they trust God. Refusing to answer these questions, I submit is evidence of a belief that "the Church" (meaning the leaders) are infallible. This video could you help you awaken to this idolizing of men (graven images).
If anybody, looking at the chart above, objects with, "Wait, I'm not saying Joseph was a liar and hypocrite," then you disagree with the church because they DO say he was! And that makes you apostate! Will you remain submissive to Brighamite leaders who HATE Joseph Smith and would drive him away if he was alive today? Own the fact that Joseph fought polygamy tirelessly throughout his entire life. As to why Joseph's war against this wicked abomination was covered up by Brigham and his hired historians, I'll leave that for you to decide.
