After hearing a snippet of what is in the William Clayton journals in regards to polygamy, I must say I’m surprised the church is releasing them sometime later this year. The past few conferences they’ve repeatedly hit on “in the coming days it will be necessary to have a strong testimony…”. I have to wonder if this is why. They know what’s in there - they know how bad it looks - they know that their narrative of “Joseph was a reluctant polygamist” is BS. So how will they spin the unspinnable? How will they be able to paint Joseph telling Clayton to get as many women as he could and Clayton having a threesome with his wife and her sister as “God-ordained”?
