Did Joseph Smith Teach Polygamy? Live Debate #2
Despite the plethora of public condemnations of polygamy during his lifetime, some believe that Joseph Smith was still teaching in private that polygamy was a commandment from God. Did he ever teach it? Did he ever write about it? Did he ever receive a revelation about it? Since there's no first-hand material from Joseph Smith in favor of polygamy, we must closely examine the accounts and records of both those who said he did, and those that insisted that he didn't. This debate seeks to shed light on this important question, covering the key arguments in this age-old debate: Did Joseph Smith ever teach polygamy?<br /> <br /> Live stream debate includes 2 teams:<br /> 1) Affirmative = Mark Tensmeyer & Jacob Vidrine<br /> 2) Negative = Jeremy Hoop & Leo Ebbert

Was Joseph Smith Really A Polygamist? Live Debate #1
Did Joseph Smith practice polygamy or didn't he? If he did, where's the evidence? How reliable is it? And why are there so many accounts stating that he did, but so few are contemporary?

What are the best sources that suggest he wasn't? This debate will answer these questions and more, in a structured, civil conversation about a complex question. <br /> <br /> Live stream debate includes 2 teams:<br /> 1) Affirmative = Mark Tensmeyer & Jacob Vidrine<br /> 2) Negative = Jeremy Hoop & Leo Ebbert

Why Was The Nauvoo Expositor Really Destroyed?
Some insist that the Nauvoo Expositor was destroyed because of its slanderous remarks about Joseph Smith, but what do the contemporary historical records actually say? If the workings of the press were said to bring the mob, why would a mob be outraged, given they were also against Joseph Smith and in favor of the slander being printed? Why would news of a surprise visit from Governor Ford cause cause prominent church leaders to scramble to adjust their accounting books? Why would a founding member of the Nauvoo Expositor burn the building down? Could there be something else that justified the destruction of the Nauvoo Expositor besides slander against Joseph Smith? Could the continuation of those same illegal activities after Joseph Smith's death be the catalyst for Brigham Young being forced to prematurely flee the state of Illinois in the dead of winter as a fugitive dodging federal indictments?
