Joseph Smith the Rapist



If an adult has sex with an underage person then they go to jail.

Joseph Smith, Jr. would be in jail with Warren Jeffs right now if he were living today.



In Illinois, aggravated criminal sexual abuse is sexual penetration with a victim between age 13 and 17 by an offender at least five years older with a punishment of three to seven years.



There is an article on LDS.org the official website of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints that outlines some things about Joseph Smith’s polygamy. Here are some excerpts of Plural Marriage in Kirtland and Nauvoo -



Many details about the early practice of plural marriage are unknown. Plural marriage was introduced among the early Saints incrementally, and participants were asked to keep their actions confidential.

-

In Joseph Smith’s time, monogamy was the only legal form of marriage in the United States. Joseph knew the practice of plural marriage would stir up public ire.

Most of those sealed to Joseph Smith were between 20 and 40 years of age at the time of their sealing to him. The oldest, Fanny Young, was 56 years old. The youngest was Helen Mar Kimball, daughter of Joseph’s close friends Heber C. and Vilate Murray Kimball, who was sealed to Joseph several months before her 15th birthday. Marriage at such an age, inappropriate by today’s standards, was legal in that era, and some women married in their mid-teens.



Actually it was not was not okay. Also, it’s not okay today because…IT’S FUCKING RAPE. THAT’S WHY TODAY’S STANDARDS ARE TODAY’S STANDARDS. Joseph should’ve been locked up for fraud on account of his money digging activities and rape.

Helen Mar Kimball spoke of her sealing to Joseph as being “for eternity alone,” suggesting that the relationship did not involve sexual relations.

Bullshit. Notice the word “Suggesting” meaning they don’t know what she meant exactly by saying that. A more obvious meaning might be that Joseph ruined her life by having sex when she was 14. Oh, I’m sorry a few months before her 15th birthday. You mean 14, you god damn assholes. You know, like this person-



And guess what? It was not normal in Joseph’s time either.

Marriage in Early America A study performed by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) on marriage in North America and Western Europe mirrors the findings of the Yorkshire researchers; the NBER found that young women from the 17th through 19th centuries were not all that young when they got married. For example, in Massachusetts records dating from 1652 to 1800 demonstrate that the mean age of first marriage for ladies was between 19.5 and 22.5 years, and records for other colonies reflect similar ages. In fact, the average age of first marriage for all of the colonies studied was 19.8 before 1700, 21.2 during the early 18th century, and 22.7 during the late 18th century. This is consistent with data gathered in England, France and Germany that puts the average mean age of first marriage for women at 25.1 from 1750-1799 and 25.7 from 1800-1849. http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2014/02/teen-girls-stop-commonly-getting-married/

So, next time someone bugs you about Mormonism, say

“Joseph Smith is uh rapist though, you know that right? Like he would be in jail today right? Like Warren Jeffs is just following the same practice and behavior of Joseph Smith. You know that right? You know that those people in Warren Jeff’s church prayed about it too, right? And they think the Lord confirmed their prophet to do that. So..”
