Ep 35 – Joe the Swindler Gets Hoodwinked

On this episode, we take a dive into 1836 to catch everything up. Until this time, we've just covered the big ticket historical topics that occurred in 1836, so we need to get everything else caught up. We also introduce 2 new NaMo nicknames for people that have been poking around the timeline for a while now. We start off with a discussion about the Hebrew school the presidency organized to be taught by Joshua Seixas. After that, William Smith and Joe get in a fight, and Joe loses. Following the fight, Joe releases a statement clarifying the church's position on slavery and abolitionism, needless to say, Joe does the PR friendly move, and punts down the middle. We finish up with a discussion about 1836 treasure hunting, and Joe getting swindled by a guy named Burgess, as well as a few minutes devoted to the shooting in Orlando.   LAS VEGAS MEETUP TUES 6/28 at 7 PM!!! https://www.facebook.com/events/140253143061702/ Show links: Website http://nakedmormonismpodcast.com Twitter @NakedMormonism Facebook https://www.facebook.com/pages/Naked-Mormonism/370003839816311 Patreon http://patreon.com/nakedmormonism Outro music Jason Comeau http://aloststateofmind.com/ Show Artwork http://weirdmormonshit.com/   Links: Orson Hyde Autobiography http://www.boap.org/LDS/Early-Saints/OHyde.html Ebenezer Robinson autobiography http://www.boap.org/LDS/Early-Saints/ERobinson.html Salem Trip Apologetics https://history.lds.org/article/doctrine-and-covenants-salem-treasure-erastus-snow?lang=eng https://rsc.byu.edu/archived/you-shall-have-my-word/treasures-witches-and-ancient-inhabitants-dc-111 https://www.lds.org/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/111.4?lang=eng Joe's "Slavery" letter in Messenger and Advocate April, 1836 http://www.centerplace.org/history/ma/v2n07.htm Joe's letter to Emma from Salem http://www.josephsmithpapers.org/paperSummary/letter-to-emma-smith-19-august-1836#!/paperSummary/letter-to-emma-smith-19-august-1836&p=1
