Joseph Smith was giving a "revalation" to practice polygamy in 1843. In 1844 was charged with adultery and under oath said the following:
"What a thing it is for a man to be accused of committing adultery, and having seven wives, when I can ony find one." -History of the Church vol. 6, p 411.
Why is he lying. Only a false prophet would like a deny what God command.
Published in "Times and Seasons" on Thursday, Feb 01, 1844 this was written and signed by Jospeh Smith:
"As we have lately been credibly informed, that an Elder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, by the name of Hirum Brown, has been preaching polygamy, and other false and corrupt doctrines, in the county of Lapeer, state of Michigan.
This is to notify him and the church in general, that he as been cut off from the church, for his iniquity; and he is further notified to appear at the Spiecal Conference on the 6th of April next, to make answer to these charges."
