I wonder how many CG/CUFers would be lining up to follow Smith's free-wheeling ways after having lost/left their homes and farms a couple of times, and their entire life savings in the Kirtland Safety Society.

I also sometimes think about the fact that this was the only time we ever had a 30 year old guy in charge. That has to factor into it somehow.

Don't act you weren't taking a back handed swipe by alluding to the saints all losing their shirts in the Kirkland Anti-Bank. You can't fool me, pal.

But as you point out, Joseph sought to create his own establishment. He was constantly in the process of trying to build a society everywhere he went, which by definition involves setting up rules and constraints. Foundational, earth-shattering-style revelation--of the type that should be included in the D&C--gradually tapered. Would Joseph disapprove of the modern church? Hard to say. Jews ask themselves that question about Moses all the time. But I think its a mistake to assume that Joseph would have led the church the same way in old age that he did in the early beginning.
