My Book Of Mormon

D&C 101 was in the 1835 and 1844 versions of the D&C... and then was removed. You can't find it referenced on LDS.org, so it's almost as if it was *gasp* removed entirely so that it wouldn't conflict so drastically with modern day D&C 132. Here's what it says:   You can get married to a non-believer, you'll just be marked as "weak". When you get married it should be public and done according to local laws. Your officiant needs to wing it, no writing a ceremony beforehand! Pledge to be monogamous to your hetero spouse. Monogamy is the only option, heterosexuality is the only sexuality, public is the only type of ceremony to be done.   Drink count - 0   The Links Fair Mormon apologist view on D&C 101's removal D&C 101 on Joseph Smith Papers Patron Bonus: Marie joined a Mormon dating site

Colleen Dietz and Miranda Crandall from the Mormon Happy Hour Podcast join us to drink our way through the second half of polygamy. Follow, support, listen, for they are amazing. Joseph Smith shames Emma Smith for even daring to potentially have given a glance at William Law while asserting his own power to "seal" with anyone he desires. Virgins are the best! So are the non-virgins who have been vetted for their worth. #barf The Petticoat Affair - Peggy Eaton was a widow, not a divorcee as I'd stated.  All The Links MBOM Patron Bonus Episode: A brief history of the Detroit stake, aka the most awkward photo shoot ever Mormon Happy Hour Podcast  @MormonHappyHour Patreon.com/MormonHappyHour    

Polygamy!!! It's happening!!!! Joseph spends all day in a room with William Clayton and Hyrum Smith penning this revelation. It's such an important revelation that if you don't follow it you WILL NOT GET INTO HEAVEN. This is when we find out that men who enter into the principle of plural marriage are the ones who become gods after they die.   George D Smith - Nauvoo Polygamy: But We Called It Celestial Marriage   Cristina Rosetti is brilliant and amazing and you should follow her on Twitter   Patron bonus: Miracle of Forgiveness - The Sin Next to Murder, Part 3  

The Nauvoo Mormons are being fast-tracked into Masonry, which we should care about, but we care more about how to identify a good or bad spirit. Angels get their own planet, as do men, but not women. Joseph prophesies the Civil War.   Patron Bonus: The Miracle of Forgiveness, The Sin Next To Murder, Part 2

Is there a specific calling for Baptism for the Dead clerk? Email Marie at comments@mybookofmormonpodcast.com because she really needs to know. More on baptisms for the dead. There should always be at least 2 witnesses, ideally 3, for each baptism. The church recorder should record each one, and also record sealings. This book is somehow also created in heaven (not sure why). Know that if your name isn't in this official holy church record then God won't find you and be able to let you into the celestial kingdom. Now, go build that temple!!!!!!   Patron Bonus: Miracle of Forgiveness, Part 1    

Joseph has married another 14 women and managed to turn himself into the mayor of Nauvoo, IL. In celebration, he nopes out of town until his followers repay his debts. He'll make like the apostle Paul and write letters to the believers. Definitely make sure you keep track of who is getting baptized during baptisms for the dead.

Build up a city on the Iowa side of the river, possibly so that Joseph can escape jurisdiction in Illinois by hopping over the border from Nauvoo to Montrose. Brigham Young has returned from his mission overseas and brought an influx of believers from England. Plural marriage is full-on happening, and it's not always incredibly full of consent.

Sidney Rigdon has been hitting the bottle a bit too hard and is considering going back to Ohio. Joseph strikes that down by telling him to not only stay in Illinois, but to move closer to Joseph's soon-to-be built mansion. Robert D. Foster enters the timeline! Don't spoil it for Marie, just google him and leave zero comments about it. Also, Nauvoo House is the 1841 equivalent to a 2018 start-up in Silicon Valley. Viva la Melchizedek Priesthood!!!!

The Nauvoo house is owned by the Community of Christ today, but now is when the saints are told to build it. The church issues "investments" into the creation of the Nauvoo house, which looks suspiciously like a terrible idea. Oliver Cowdery is replaced by Hyrum Smith and William Law is given a few too many superpowers.   Drink count - lots?

If you build a temple, they will come. *channels Field of Dreams* Baptism for the dead is mentioned for the first time! It has to be done, but only AFTER the Nauvoo Temple is built, so give us all your resources to build that before we build houses for our own. No specific timeline, god understands that bad people may try to stop the Saints, don't worry about it.    Drink count - a LOT, plus a shot   Patron Bonus: Sister Missionary Action Figurines!!!!!!!   Quorum Podcast

Mormonism is about to become entwined with Masonry. Joseph Smith now can say he's Joseph Smith Sr since his dad has passed away, which is kinda sneaky, but works. April 6 is Jesus's birthday, God loves Hyrum Smith, and the Nauvoo House is decreed to be built. Obviously, it doesn't go as planned. Don't worry everyone, it'll all end up okay because heaven exists and if you die, that's where you go.

Joseph and his BFFs escape/bribe the guards to get out of jail and run off to a malaria-ridden swamp in Illinois. He heads to D.C. to take the saint's grievances to Pres. Van Buren, saving the passengers of a runaway coach along the way. Van Buren doesn't help them, so they start the trek back to Illinois. John C. Bennett enters the timeline by becoming Joseph's unofficial second in command. He's a politician/lobbyest whose sway is critical in the creation of the city of Nauvoo. That Nauvoo charter grants Joseph some broad powers that will come in quite handy in the future (but we're not there yet). It's the episode where free will doesn't exist!!!

Joseph instructs his followers to gather evidence of how bad bad bad the Missourians were to the saints, such that eventually he can take those grievances to the president. Polygamy is happening, just on the sly. Wife #3, Lucinda Harris has entered the timeline (probably).

Brigham Young is leading the exodus of the Mormons from Missouri to Illinois while Joseph twiddles his thumbs in jail. Joseph feels his power slipping away and pens an epistle to his followers. God is either loving or wrathful, the priesthood authority comes from that love/wrath, so priesthood authority is always love.

MBoM has a motto now!!! "Taken out of context it means nothing, which means it means anything you want it to."   All three witnesses to the golden plates have been excommunicated! Thomas Marsh needs to stay in Missouri and work, all the other leaders in the church need to go out and get more followers. Don't worry, God will provide for their families, just GFTO, leadership. In spring, go to Europe!!! Tithing is giving all your excess to the church as an initial outlay, then give 10% for the rest of your life. Yes, that's really what Joseph means to say.

Joseph and his BFFs fled Ohio in January 1838, excommunicated the Kirtland Mormons, then reestablished their church in Far West, Missouri. Oliver Cowdery and David Whitmer are tossed out, chaos everywhere! Time for a few revelations that will definitely get Joseph out of this mess. Spoiler, not what happened. 113: Fluff of no substance, kinda based in Isaiah. Zion's choker necklace is somehow related to a curse that scattered the church from Zion? Something something bands around her neck something something. 114: Dear Dave, give me all your assets and tell people how cool I am. Sincerely, Joe 115: God decrees they build a temple in Far West, Missouri.
