I just got baptized and felt compelled to read diligently. I realized by my own research that J. Smith had plural wives behind Emma's back. He found the scriptures by revelations, but at the time he was working for finding buried treasures during a treasure hunting craze in NY. He was incarcerated twice, he illegaly operated a bank for 21 days. I was motivated to find out more, because of the polygamy theory. I never felt that God would want us to commit adultery in order to go to Heaven. They also said that there was too many woman that needed support from a "man", but if $ was the issue...why have a lot of kids? Or the claim that there husbands were killed at war, there are records that these woman married to a "worthy" man, did it behind the back of their "other" husband.When I've asked the other members about J.Smith they have reasons, proof, and quotes on the good. On polygamy, they say to just have faith it came from God, couldn't give ANY explanation or reason why they did this?
