Bio 26: Olive G. Frost

Audio essays on Joseph Smith's introduction of polygamy into early Mormon Church. Subjects include polyandry, young brides, theology, children, plural wives, and Emma Smith.

Good digging on some lesser known cases and testimonies, but I find it strange that the 2nd, 3rd and first hand latent recollections are treated as trustworthy, while dismissing the claims of joseph smith. I’m shocked at how little discernment is used in building a case. Motive, timing, personal gain and convenience of testimony are rarely (if ever) addressed. I like the Hales for their ability to scour the records, but man… their conclusions are just plain silly and would be dismissed in any court of law regarding “evidence.”

Everyone’s telling the truth but Joseph?

Detached from reality. A warm blend of cognitive bias and wishful thinking.
