Please consider supporting this podcast: Venmo: @Michelle-Stone-24 https://www.patreon.com/132Problems Everything to do with Joseph Smith's polygamy hinges on William Clayton and his journals.

Please consider supporting this podcast: Venmo: @Michelle-Stone-24 https://www.patreon.com/132Problems One of our best loved parables is also, in my opinion, one of the least understood. But it doesn't need to be that way, if we will start really studying it out. Seeing how connected polygamy is to this parable blew my mind. Is it possible that Jesus prophesied and warned us of the false doctr...
