One polyandrous wife claimed that a daughter was from Joseph. I believe that some DNA testing has been done, but I think it has come up negative so far.<BR/><BR/>It really doesn't matter. There is unquestionable evidence (legal affidavits by some of the wives) that he had sex with them. There is ZERO evidence to suggest that sex wasn't an actual or intended part of every single polygamous marriage that he entered. You wouldn't expect there to be evidence of sex in even any significant percentage since it is private and in this case also embarrassing. But, the church collected evidence of actual sex because the RLDS church was claiming that if JS did practice polygamy it didn't involve sex. In other words, in the 1800s the church was scrambling to prove exactly the opposite point that apologists are trying to claim today. Given that the GAs of that error personally knew JS and were intimately involved in the institution of polygamy I'll believe them rather than apologists who are embarrassed by the facts of the JS's life.Bullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01343937101221163598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25542320.post-1158008089106010582006-09-11T15:54:00.000-05:002006-09-11T15:54:00.000-05:00And why would Emma be so opposed to polygamy if it...And why would Emma be so opposed to polygamy if it didn't involve Joseph having sex with younger attractive women (and girls)? Why would he have to marry young single women if it is just "dynastic." Why not limit it to widows? Makes no sense. Oh, and I don't think what Joseph and Fanny were doing in the hayloft was "dynastic." "Hedonistic" maybe. Dyanstic, not so much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25542320.post-1157685064877503102006-09-07T22:11:00.000-05:002006-09-07T22:11:00.000-05:00It blows me away that the church refuses to admit ...It blows me away that the church refuses to admit that js asked god if he could practice polygamy; it was not a huge sacrifice for him like they make it sound. The wording is clear as day in D&C. J.S was a pussy hound.

I am either hated by his loyal posters, or I am considered a project (someone searching for truth) and they are helping me find it.<BR/><BR/>The whole raising up seed argument for polygamy doesn't hold any water.<BR/><BR/>If there are 10 men and 10 women, how does 1 man married to 10 women produce more seed than 10 men married to 10 women...it doesn't.<BR/><BR/>fyhazBishop Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05385909789743073477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25542320.post-1157664291254622152006-09-07T16:24:00.000-05:002006-09-07T16:24:00.000-05:00For you tat, how about a crumbling beehive?

Unless there's some other way babies get here. <BR/><BR/>I've never done any reading about it, but my playwriting professor at BYU has read TONS about it (both church-approved stuff and non), and when I asked he assured me that there is PLENTY of documentation showing children from JS and plural wives.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10006115623631732544noreply@blogger.com
