Website review: Remembering the Wives of Joseph Smith
My greatest hope in this regard is that the LDS Church will not defend Joseph Smith’s involvement in polygamy as appropriate.

Overview
FAIR's evaluation of the web site Remembering the Wives of Joseph Smith
- The owner of the site claims to be an active Latter-day Saint. He remains anonymous on the web site.

- The site uses a FAIR article to make the Church look like they are hiding plural marriage.
Summary
Loaded and prejudicial language
- "In the relative stability of Nauvoo, Joseph would try to establish polygamy, a practice he had flirted with in Kirtland and Missouri."
