Founder of Mormon church Joseph Smith wed 40 wives - chairman - 11-11-2014
Joseph Smith's martial history had always remained a mystery but it has been revealed that he married women who were already the wives of his followers - despite maintaining for nearly 200 years that he was monogamous.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints had previously tried to gloss over aspects of its history, including the polygamy practiced by Mr Smith and Brigham Young.
Mr Young helped found the headquarters of the Mormon church in the Salt Lake City in Utah, United States.
A church essay entitled "Plural Marriage in Kirtland and Nauvoo"wrote: "Joseph married many additional wives and authorized other Latter-day Saints to practice plural marriage," before noting, "careful estimates put the number between 30 and 40."
The church has been widely criticised for its treatment of women, black people, who it barred from the higher priesthood until 1978, and homesexuals, who were banned from its temples if they were sexually active.
Mr Smith's wives were mostly between the ages of 20 and 40, but Helen Mar Kimball, the daughter of close friends, was "sealed" to him several months before she turned 15.
The essay, part of a collection issued over the past year, said: "Plural marriage was difficult for all involved. For Joseph Smith's wife Emma, it was an excruciating ordeal."
The church, founded in 1830, banned polygamy in 1890 when the US government threatened to deny Utah statehood.

Monogamy is not impossible but not easy for most humans. So there's nothing that can come out in the wash on sexual human behavior that would surprise me. ::LOL::
I be watching a lot of documentaries on churches and cults. How the pastors line up their flock like cattle and subdue them in sex slavery. The events are the same in every case. ::LOL::
The cattle herder always lines up his booties. ::LOL::
Never was there a cattle herder in history who didn't rack up lots of booties. ::LOL::
Even old man Elijah Muhammad bent his cattle over and had them in bed.
What's amazing is how long it's taking people to make the connection. Many still act surprised over a clergy pervert when it's in fact synnomous. When I hear the word clergy, pastor, priest, bishop, pope, rabbi, and whatever, the words booty head is what pops up in my mind. ::LOL::
