A respectful tribute site. The sisters that labored in the vineyard with the prophet.

Draw your own conclusions.

1. 17 marriages in 1843 alone . . . 2 14-year olds

2. Maybe he was trying to beat Mohammad?

Though with Aisha, the bar is set pretty high...

[JDPriestly]

3. The column on the right lists living husbands of some of the women?

Didn't Jesus speak out against adultery, reiterating the teachings of the Old Testament? How do Mormons reconcile this with their claim to be Christians?

Why are they opposed to same-sex marriage when you consider that Jesus never said anything against it but did speak against having more than one spouse at a time?

Very, very inconsistent.

5. The Mormon custom of holding wives in common is a very American custom. It's thrifty and friendly.

If you've ever lived on a cul de sac, you know the guys share their tools. One guy has an air compressor, one has a big car jack, one has a wood splitter. We share. It's one of the great things about us as a people.

4. Two were 14 and one 16

so he was not only a charlatan but also a child rapist. Like their other hero Brigham Young.

6. Does anyone know how many children he fathered in all?

I'm very uninformed about him. Just curious.
