@ElderJoseph " All the evidence points to this marriage as a primarily dynastic marriage. purrpose was likely to tie families together,"
If marrying 14 year old Helen was some kind of Dynastic Paper excercise to bind families only then why didn't Joseph Smith marry Heber Kimballs wife instead?? That would have done the job of binding families and he did marry other men's wives often.
Instead of OLD Vilate Kimball. Smith decides 14 yrs old Helen is preferable!!
Grooming for sex.

@scottwins2 " purrpose was likely to tie families together,"
So why does Helen recall "My father had but one Ewe Lamb, but willingly laid her upon the alter”
Hardly some kind of dynastic paper excercise. And if Smith wasn't really marring anyone else in the proper sense then why did Beigham Young round up girls like Battery hens and screw them if Joseph never had that in mind and that polygamy was purley dynastic? BS cult BS.
Shove your ASSpologetics .. FAIRy nonsense. lol

@scottwins2 " Probably the wife about whom we know the least is Fanny Alger, Joseph's first plural wife, whom he came to know in early 1833"
THis sounds like Mormon Apologist Cope and Paste.
DO NOT send me anymore CopY and PASTE SHITE from FAIRS and FARMS.
Either speak your own words or go and waste someone elses life and time.

@ElderJoseph Probably the wife about whom we know the least is Fanny Alger, Joseph's first plural wife, whom he came to know in early 1833 when she stayed at the Smith home as a house-assistant of sorts to Emma (such work was common for young women at the time). There are no first-hand accounts of their relationship (from Joseph or Fanny), nor are there second-hand accounts (from Emma or Fanny's family). All that we do have is third hand accounts, most of them recorded many years after...

@ElderJoseph historian Todd Compton wrote:
The Tanners made great mileage out of Joseph Smith's marriage to his youngest wife, Helen Mar Kimball. However, they failed to mention that I wrote that there is absolutely no evidence that there was any sexuality in the marriage, and I suggest that, following later practice in Utah, there may have been no sexuality. p. 638 All the evidence points to this marriage as a primarily dynastic marriage.
purrpose was likely to tie families together,

@scottwins2 " Relationships with Smith were Non-Conjucal"
What are you talking about? Every other Mormoin Polygamist was screwing his soccer team of chicks so why would they MISUNDERSTAND Smith?
And what business is it of yours what Joseph SMith did with his wives? How dare you even challenge his revelation and what he was doing with his brides. It's non of your business. Just PAY, PRAY and OBEY like a good cult recruit and hand over your wife or daughter to the Prophet if asked.
Joseph Smith's polygamous marriages to young women may seem difficult to understand or explain today, but in his own time such age differences were not typically an obstacle to marriage. The plural marriages were unusual, to say the least; the younger ages of the brides were much less so. Critics do not provide this perspective because they wish to shock the audience and have them judge Joseph by the standards of the modern era, rather than his own time.

It's shocking stuff yes. Brigham Young was threatening HELL to coerce young girls into marrying old cult leaders.
Orson Pratt was screwing his 16 year old brides and he was in his fifties.
Mormons never Lead the way with any standards but live the worldly standards of their day and do it with more Aggression and Zeal than those they claim are infidels.
CUlt leaders SEX and MONEY!

apostate Mormons Ann Eliza Webb Young and her father Chauncery both referred to Fanny's relationship as a "sealing." Ann Eliza also reported that Fanny's family was very proud of Fanny's relationship with Joseph, which makes little sense if it was simply a tawdry affair. Those closest to them saw the marriage as exactly that—a marriage

So NO Dynastic sealing here then? The ROMP in the barn was real. Was it their Honeymoon in the HAY! lol
Mormons are so stupid arguing both sides of their mouths!
