🧵 Reexamining Joseph Smith: New Perspectives on the Polygamy Narrative Through Recent Research and Discussion
There is a raging debate among Mormon believers right now that has awakened many to reconsider the traditional narrative that Joseph secretly practiced plural marriage. Over the last decade, DNA evidence and the Joseph Smith Papers Project have swayed many believers to think that history has been altered to fit the narrative of the Brighamite faction in Salt Lake City.
New research and ongoing discussions are reshaping the way we view Joseph Smith’s involvement with polygamy. This thread highlights 12 important works that have brought forward new perspectives, challenging long-held assumptions and sparking meaningful debate.

@fidopatch @ccbrchris @RileyRalmuto The cars aren't self driving just yet, and it will still require human imagination to really innovate. Plus I think those with good intentions, with right heart, and service in mind will ultimately win in the long run.

@SaundersClark_ @ccbrchris @RileyRalmuto Sure is. But now everyone has been given a fully working car which will explore their ability to drive. Before now it was so complex to build yourself a car most folks never had the chance to drive in the first place.

@fidopatch @ccbrchris @RileyRalmuto Ultimately, it’s garbage in, garbage out. The driver still has to steer the horse. The world is full of copies, copies will never create an original.

@ccbrchris @SaundersClark_ @RileyRalmuto Not everyone can write books to the standard of Stephen King.
Unless you had an AI Skill that allowed you to write like Stephen King. 😂

I have an honest question for my Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saint followers, intended with genuine respect.
I've been studying early church history, including the church's own Gospel Topics Essays — and I'd love your perspective.
How do you personally reconcile the following about Joseph Smith? And has it ever challenged your faith?
1. Married Helen Mar Kimball at 14 (he was 37)
2. Sealed himself to 11 women already married to living husbands
3. Concealed polygamy from Emma and the public (asked plural wives to keep it secret)
4. Ordered the destruction of the Nauvoo Expositor, the press about to expose it all
These aren't anti-Mormon talking points — the church itself acknowledges them.
I'm genuinely curious and appreciate all sincere responses. 🙏

This weekend is the Journal of Mormon Polygamy Conference. Excited for the opportunity to learn new things!

@stackerco @ThoughtfulSaint He needs to point to something you can't measure to save his argument. If it produced a more righteous generation, where is the greater portion of the Book of Mormon? When was the 1832 condemnation lifted? Where is Zion with no rich or poor as its hallmark?
English

@ThoughtfulSaint Because more of Brigham’s seed was passed around, etc?

Polygamy was about raising up a righteous generation.
And it worked.

I turned a Zillow listing into a cinematic property renovation video for $15 (no camera, no drone, no film crew)
Just listing photos + Calico AI.
The average agent pays $100-$500 per property for videos like this. Sell this output to realtors and agents and make $$$.
Here's how the system works:
→ Pull listing photos from any property (Zillow, Redfin, wherever)
→ Lock in a consistent renovation style for the entire property
→ Generate photorealistic renovated images
→ Animate each room transformation
→ Create a cinematic closing shot featuring the realtor's contact info
→ Generate a custom music track
→ Edit everything together
The result: a scroll-stopping property video that makes buyers reach out — built from photos that were already sitting on the listing.
No videographer.
No staging budget.
No waiting for golden hour.
RT & Comment "RENOVATE" and I'll send you the full workflow + all the prompts + a step-by-step video showing how to do this (must be following so I can DM you!).

@stackerco If they spoke then with a “limited understanding and without the light and knowledge” then they do so even more know. You can’t admit that you were missing it then and suddenly have it now.

The craziest thing about this talk from Bruce R McConkie is, he calls people who believed past prophets to repentance for BELIEVING WHAT THEY SAID and being confused that they flip flopped.
From his talk “All Are Alike Until God”

This could pass as either anti-Mormon or pro-Mormon. I can’t tell the difference.
English

@stackerco This is no different than insider trading. Or buying property before announcing a temple. Par for the course.

@Rich_Harshaw @ThoughtfulSaint @mrmdotorg You beat me to it. It is exactly the same as all of the alleged wives.
English

@ThoughtfulSaint @mrmdotorg I agree with you 100%. And the exact same arguments can be used in the "Joseph Smith did not actually practice polygamy" argument. Literally, all of them.

Pastors are missing the mark in calling anything #LDS demonic. It’s great there are some pastors out there that want to build a bridge. Thank you for your words @_hellosaints.
