Jump to details:
- Question: Did Brigham Young and Joseph Smith say that polygamists were allowed to go beyond normal bounds of social interaction?
- Joseph’s point is clear—men, like Brigham, who have reached a certain degree of faithfulness may be asked to do even more difficult things
- Brigham was thus past the bounds because he had done all that God required and more, not because he would violate moral limits
- Brigham sees the matter as a command that he does not wish to fulfill—he would prefer to be dead—but that God confirms as his will
- Further evidence: Heber C. Kimball
