In the past few months I have given two companion talks defending Joseph Smith against the widely accepted, yet utterly false accusations that he was a liar, hypocrite, philanderer, sexual deviant, polygamist, and pedophile. The first talk, titled Removing the Stain of Polygamy from the Restoration was given at the Rescuing the Restoration Conference in Meridian, Idaho. The second talk, titled Joseph Smith vs. Polygamy: the Raging Storm in Nauvoo was given at the Hear and Trust the Lord in the Storm conference held in Lexington, Kentucky.
