    Please consider supporting this podcast: Venmo: @Michelle-Stone-24Patreon.com/132problemsJohn Dehlin brings up very good points about the problems with the dubious story of the transfiguration of Brigham Young. Hopefully he and his audience can see that the story of Joseph Smith's polygamy suffers from the exact same problems. This is a fun one.Links:Episode 148 on James Whitehead and W.W.

But this was not until after I had told him what I understood… this was in 1841; the Revelation was given in 1843, but the doctrine was revealed before this." (Complete Discourses vol 5, pg 1101)-Soon-to-be Vice President of the United States, Schuyler Colfax, June 17, 1865 “... the revelations of the Doctrine and Covenants declared for monogamy, but that polygamy was a later revelation commanded by God to him [Brigham] and a few others, and permitted and advised to the rest of the church” (see, quoted in The Western Galaxy, Vol. I, p. 247)-Happiness Letter:https://www.josephsmithpapers.org/pap...
