Journal of John Henry Smith, 21 May 1888, LDS Church Archives; “We will not end the practice of plural marriage until the coming of the Son of Man.” – Wilford Woodruff
It’s ironic Mr. Woodruff would say such a thing since he signed the Manifesto just two short years later.
D&C Official Declaration 1:6; “Inasmuch as laws have been enacted by Congress forbidding plural marriages, which laws have been pronounced constitutional by the court of last resort, I hereby declare my intention to submit to those laws, and to use my influence with the members of the Church over which I preside to have them do likewise.” – Wilford Woodruff
Did Jesus return in 1890? If not, then this qualifies as a false prophecy.
Furthermore, if polygamy was righteous then why would it end with His return?
They can’t return to their families because church members are forbidden from associating with them. Sometimes, parents secretly send money. But mostly they are on their own, homeless, some as young as 13.
