Yes, Joseph never practiced polygamy. Either that or he was a damned liar and fallen prophet. What is reported in the OT is a world apart from what the LDS org did through Brigham. You should do a little reading on the subject. Check out the references (toward the bottom) on this essay I wrote:Chris wrote: ↑July 26th, 2022, 4:38 pm So Brigham is a sexual predator, but joseph isnt? i guess you probably think Joseph didnt practice plural marriage huh? Well what about Moses, was he a sexual predator? How about Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? They all predators too?
You know i am no fool, I have had the 2nd comforter and it was amazing. But it was because of this church that i did and it was real, not some stupid fake experience. I know several apostles and i can tell you they are very aware of what is going on and they are just like Joseph having more experiences and visions then their "meat and drink" As joseph said so well you cant turn against the light and leave this church and think you wont fall into satans power. I have news for you. You cant claim joseph and the savior and deny this church. You leave this church and you loose all 3 and the eternal blessings. Things are about to go down in the next 2 years. If i were you i would do some soul searching and repenting. I am not trying to be a jerk, but i hope you find your way back before it is too late. Because this DOC crap is nuts. You cant pick little pieces and ignore the whole. The Heber c kimball quote about the test is playing out right now. The shots is the test. ( I didnt get one because i was told no ) But the test is can you stick with the church through it all whatever side you are on...... I wish you the best

I'm glad you've had some wonderful experiences. I hope that these men you call prophets have as well. But the reality is they also teach many false doctrines and are fulfilling prophecy. They are the blind leading the blind. Isaiah and Jeremiah had much to say about them. The same goes for Nephi and many BoM prophets.
There is one thing the LDS church could do that would make me return, and that would be teach the doctrine as presented in the BoM. It would be that simple. Teach the people that any man on this earth can be wrong and that we are to each be taught by the Holy Ghost. These men you call prophets need to stop telling people they can never lead you astray. They need to stop telling people that we can place our "complete trust" in the arm of flesh. Such a damned lie right there.
They also need to stop supporting globalist agendas and apologize for the sh*t they've done the last two years. What an awful load of horseshit that has been sold as gold to the saints of this church. (EDIT: that last sentence is essentially the modern version of selling the birthright for a mess of potage)
