Joseph Smith and Bringham Young each had multiple wives, and they believed God called them to celebrate "plural marriages."
Yet today men are not allowed to marry more than one church. In fact, the small number of Mormons today who are polygamous are scorned by the church.
Was Joseph Smith wrong when he said that God called us to marrying more than one? Was it right then, but wrong now? Or was Smith wrong from the beginning?
(I mean no disrespect. In fact, I've never met a Mormon who was not gentle, kind, and commited to doing God's will.
