I believe Joseph Smith was a serial adulterer and groomed young, vulnerable girls over and over and over for his advances. He fleeced so many people especially those from the UK and Europe to leave everything and come to Nauvoo only to lose everything they had and fall into polygamy. He knew how to trap them..."separate a man from his purse and you've got him!". I think Joseph and his family including his Aunt were criminals and we have now in 2016 the fruits of that. We have massive malls, retail outlets, massive land grabs and real estate investments....but where are the free schools, hospitals, employment opportunities for the poorest among us? Where are the soup kitchens in every city, every State, every Country? Why does the church even have a "for profit" arm?
I can't sit and support a man who destroys gays and especially recently with over 50 suicides of our most young and vulnerable people..because behind closed doors their parents are abusing them so badly that death seems the only way out. I've been abused like that and I know exactly how that feels. When I found out what was happening in the pits at BYU to my GLBT brothers and sisters and the torture to their genitals just for being gay I wanted to throw up. To know Monson was so heavily involved in their torture has just torn me asunder. To think people revere him as some godly "prophet" while so many gays have killed themselves is atrocious.
Women. Oh how my heart weeps for the women who are told from birth they cannot have careers, cannot have their own income, cannot live on their own two feet and must be dependent on a man, must iron, cook, clean and bare and take care of countless children for him, while he goes off and works full time and then spends most evenings for the church leaving you to be a single mother, a single spouse and a lonely, miserable disempowered human being. To be told you cannot even fully participate at church, you can't have the power of god, you can't even look at or talk to god without a covering on your face is such a massive insult. I could go on and on.
I know the author has her reasons for remaining in this organization. But, oh how I must more powerful she'd become if she took a side, and stood up by walking out of this murderous, abusive cult!
People are dying...daily from this cult. There is no love, only conditions, only threats.

It’s actually scripture truths on the way to receive the promise of Eternal Life that made me realize there’s no way 132 could be correct. Scripture itself refutes 132. The true way to receive Eternal Life is a consistent and constant message in scripture, until 132 when Eternal Life is received through marriage. It just doesn’t fit.
I know women who have remained widows for 40 years; women who were certain they had forefeit Eternal Life because of their non-LDS marriage; women who married non-members because that was all that was available to them; women who were dying and couldn’t marry quickly due to the church having say over their previous temple marriage.
Polygamy is a plague, and I greatly appreciate how this book gently and empathetic-ly shows there’s no good fruit here. This book is yet another witness to me that it’s not of God.
In these accounts, many express how their souls knows this can’t be of God. That’s the light of Christ within us. When we are willing to listen, God shows us how it’s not of Them. Heavenly Mother and Father can teach us this truth.
