I'm about to become a polygamist, as I am to be married in the temple, but my previous sealing will not be canceled (women apply for sealing cancelation, men apply for sealing "clearance"). I will therefore technically be sealed to two different women at the same time.

(Please don't point this out to Hot Babysitter)

Well, then you should be more "sprightly" than any of us.

Thank Fawn. She dug these up and brought them to light.

The last one where BY condemns the "buccaneer" Romans for ending polygamy is astounding.

Really? Seems like most were from Journals of Discourses. Hardly secret stuff.

Not any more. You underestimate how little attention anyone paid to this stuff in any corner until No Man Knows My History. One of the things it did is create a metaphysical mutation among people affected by Mormonism. Her paradigm of rigorous historical analysis of the Church's roots didn't really exist until her biography was published. For example, nobody paid attention to B.H. Roberts' critiques which she used. Little that a biographer or historian relies upon in this day and age is "secret" per se. Highlighting it and making it relevant to what's happening today is an achievement.

I thought I read somewhere that the Church tried to bury the Journal of Discourses for awhile (from say the 50s through the 80s?). There were always a few complete copies owned by collectors and and in libraries but scant public access, especially to those in the LDS archives. Only recently were the JoD and JS's "diary" made readily available. True or a conspiracy theory? Of course now the JoD is online, searchable, in CDs, etc.

Hyrum, what's your story? I don't recall you introducing yourself. I'm assuming you are former or dissatisfied LDS. I also assume you must have some ties to BYU sports or this board would be very boring.

I'm genuinely curious and I don't intend for this to be some sort of call out. I just like to know who is here and where they are coming from.

I am not and have never been LDS. I was raised Catholic, but since marrying a Protestant (not LDS), I'm a Catholic 2 Sundays a month (we alternate, so I consider myself a "large umbrella Christian"). I lived in Utah for 4 years while at the U of U (yes, a Utah alum and fan). At the time I didn't have time to learn a whole lot about the church, but when I did I was somewhat surprised, they never let on how strange some of the stuff was in LDS history. Either that or they were never told. I am a refugee from first visiting cooterbored from time-to-time, but getting punished for asking basic, but apparently not kosher, questions.
