Joseph Smith secretly practiced polygamy long before receiving sealing authority in 1836.

The problem with denying Joseph Smith's plural marriage is that the advocates of this theory are not just rejecting polygamy. This theory rejects Doctrine and Covenants 132, which is our doctrinal foundation for eternal families. It rejects our most sacred temple ordinances like the endowment. It rejects the testimonies of the highest early Church leaders who witnessed Joseph Smith's practice. They throw all subsequent prophets under the bus. They reject statements from President Russell M. Nels
