Sealed in Secrecy: Joseph Smith's Controversial Use of the Sealing Power

from Behind The Veil

In this video, we’re uncovering how Joseph Smith used the idea of ‘spiritual marriage’ or ‘sealings’ to pressure teenage girls and married women into marrying him. We’ll explore how these so-called marriages were actually illegal under anti-bigamy laws and were simply adultery disguised by a religious title given by Joseph Smith. We also dive into the church's claims about the fulfillment of Malachi 4:6, the origins of the sealing practice, and how the story has evolved over time. Join us as we unravel the deceptive practices and historical context behind Joseph Smith’s ‘sealings.’
