119: Brian Hales and Joseph Smith’s Pre-Nauvoo Accusations

We sit down with Brian Hales, LDS author of “Joseph Smith’s Polygamy”  We ask him about the 11 occasions where Joseph was accused of sexual impropriety.  We talk about how the majority of the accusations come very late, even decades after the death of the prophet.  We talk about what the evidence is in each case and why we should in all likelyhood throw each of these out with the exception of Fanny Alger which is a completely different circumstance.  Brian’s multi volume book “Joseph Smith’s Polygamy” “Joseph Smith’s Polygamy” VOL I “Joseph Smith’s Polygamy” VOL II “Joseph Smith’s Polygamy” VOL III Brian Hales Website JosephSmithsPolygamy.com Articles that reference this subject https://mormonstories.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2013/02/2009-Hales-FA-and-JS-Pre-Nauvoo-Reputation.pdf http://josephsmithspolygamy.org/history-2/changes-in-may-1843/ The post 119: Brian Hales and Joseph Smith’s Pre-Nauvoo Accusations appeared first on Mormon Discussion by Bill Reel.
