The Church Defends Joseph Smith Against John C. Bennett’s Avalanche of Accusations
The Nauvoo Exposé of 1842 is a powerful primary source document published in the church's Times and Seasons newspaper, where Joseph Smith and early LDS leaders launched a fierce defense against John C. Bennett's explosive accusations of secret polygamy, seduction, and assassination plots after his excommunication. This broadside features sworn affidavits from Hyrum Smith, city council members like Brigham Young and Wilford Woodruff, hundreds of citizens, and even the Relief Society women, all emphatically denying polygamy as a church practice and branding it as Bennett's "damnable heresy" and tool for immorality. The document portrays Joseph Smith as a virtuous, monogamous leader who publicly condemned illicit "spiritual wife" doctrines, using biblical warnings against false teachers to expose Bennett's deceptions and affirm the church's commitment to one-man-one-woman marriage.
Dive into this eye-opening piece of early Mormon history and see how the church officially rejected polygamy in 1842s. Read the full primary source document now and challenge what you've been told!
