Journal of Discourses 5:364; “A gentleman, with whom I came in contact while at Washington, made this objection against Mormonism. Talking about the institution of plurality of wives, said he, “It never will answer; it will break up all the whorehouses in the country; for women would not abide in such establishments and sustain them, if they could only have respectable and comfortable houses. This polygamy system will smash up that (Christian) institution altogether.” – George A. Smith, Salt Lake City, November 1, 1857
Matthew 12:36; “ But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.”
Why? Why did these men feel it necessary to malign and slander others and in particular the body of Christ?
If you’re LDS, do you think there’s such a thing as ‘Christian whorehouses’?
If not, then do you believe anything Mr. Smith said here? How do words like these strengthen your faith?
