Wow! I am so glad this interview exists. Thank you so much for posting it! Are there electronic copies of the Salt Lake Tribune from these years, where I could find a copy of this interview?
I wish every member of the Mormon church would listen to this. But of course they won't. Nonsense abounds in their beliefs. "My mind is made up, don't confuse me with facts". That could easily be the Mormon motto. Joseph Smith jr----the greatest charaltan in American history.
Very interesting information. However, take a break in the narrative of the reading! Had the text not appeared it would have been extremely difficult to distinguish between the questions and answers. Otherwise, Kia mihi
From our research we see that he was called both Joe and Joseph regularly by both friends and enemies alike. We haven't found any reference of Joseph/Joe's personal preference about his name. Maybe if someone has a reference they can share it here.
What is the "official" response from both the LDS & the RLDS churches on this? Methinks they know all about this but are tight-lipped unless forced to comment! Going to Nauvoo today is like going to an idealized, creepy utopia where everybody has a forced smile on their fresh faces!
The "official responses" change often. The typical response we hear from members is that William Law was a bad person. The idea is to demonize the messenger so that the message means nothing. We have studied William Law's life and have found nothing serious or disappointing. In fact, he was very popular/well-respected in Nauvoo(which is why Joseph chose him to be his 2nd Counselor) and later in life as well. After Joseph's death, his creditors were after his assets/estate to pay his debts off. Emma had some assets in her own name and refused to help pay Joseph's debts. William Law gave some of his land holdings in Nauvoo to help make the creditors whole again. Just one example of Law being a decent person.
@@latterdaysmarts244 Thank you very much for this information. Law absolutely seems like a decent, righteous and very honest man. I'm sure he knew much more than he even told. I've also noticed that when the LDS church is confronted by a fact they can't answer to they use a catchall phrase using their favorite word "regrettable"! Thank you very much for your extremely informative, interesting and entertaining videos. Methinks that you've only found the tip to the iceberg!!
Yes he does. His accounts also match many other accounts of fellow members, which also match the accounts of nonmembers in surrounding settlements, judges, governors, etc. A consistent narrative. We agree that the word "regrettable" does not do it. Thank you! Yes just when you think the rabbit hole cannot go any deeper, it does.

CS Lewis pointed out that whatever goes uncorrected and unrepented of flows on forever. Bingo.
Wow, this is fascinating.
Thank you for this, very shocking!
The first mafia organization in the US.
Probably not the first, but the most successful.
Thank you for putting these out there
Wow! Like Winston Churchill said; "absolute power corrupts absolutely"
exactly.

Wow...mind blown! 👏👏👏
Thank you!
I think he’s probably right about Emma
She was the Madame
He was a real jerk
Wow, that's intense!
Excellent work!
Fascinating information.
Very interesting thank you
A guy who was brought up believing in magic
Many would say he was a charletin.
Oh. My. Gosh. And that legacy continues to this day.
Thanks so much for this. Very important. Just a suggestion--trust yourself and your voice and do it for real.

So Emma referred to Joseph as "Joe", and so did William Law? Did he go by Joe?
From our research we see that he was called both Joe and Joseph regularly by both friends and enemies alike. We haven't found any reference of Joseph/Joe's personal preference about his name. Maybe if someone has a reference they can share it here.
Who would win in a slap boxing match ? prophet muhammad or prophet joseph smith ?
I guess justice was served.
He was a Free Mason, with false prophesies. He has fooled a lot of innocent souls.

Whoever posted this....watch your back. The Danites are probably already on their way!
Gee

Mormon Meca. But who do you throw stones at?
He basically created a real life version of The Handmaid's Tale. Total gangster.
