Mormon Apologist Admits CES Letter is Right About Joseph Smith Polygamy w/ Sandra Tanner | Ep. 1950

The Shocking Admission on Joseph Smith's Polygamy

In a surprising turn of events, a renowned Mormon apologist admitted that the CES Letter, a document often criticized by the Church, is correct about Joseph Smith's involvement in polygamy. This admission came from Brian Hales, a faithful member and one of the Church’s top defenders of Smith's polygamous activities. The implications of this acknowledgment stretch beyond mere historical debate, challenging the narratives held dear by many in the Mormon community.

Joseph Smith's Polygamy: A Controversial Chapter

Joseph Smith, the founder of the Latter-day Saint movement, remains a polarizing figure partly due to his practice of polygamy. Historical records indicate that Smith had multiple wives, a fact that has long been sequestered in the shadows of church history. The "Gospel Topics Essays," an initiative by the Church to address difficult topics, cautiously acknowledged these marriages but often downplayed their scope and nature.

The "CES Letter," written by Jeremy Runnells, takes a hard look at this aspect of Smith's life. Addressed to the Church Educational System, it questions the legitimacy and morality of Smith’s actions, offering documented evidence that contradicts official church narratives. For years, the Church has attempted to undermine the influence of the CES Letter, often resorting to complex SEO tactics to steer seekers away from it.
