 THE MORMON PROPHET'S TRAGEDY
Mormon plural marriage, practiced from the days of Nauvoo down to the time of the prohibitory "Manifesto" of 1890, was not a system of licentiousness; it was designed to correct and abolish such evils.
The attempt to parallel the case of the Mormons with that of "slaveholders and other enemies of the human race," and to dignify the deeds of mobs into "the reprisals of law and justice," is another argumental absurdity.

 Choosing the Next Mormon Prophet
Mormons are proud that they, alone among all contemporary religions, have an authentic "living prophet" leading their church at all times--just like in the Bible and the Book of Mormon (sort of, anyway, if you don't read those books too carefully).
The way the prophet is venerated in the church suggests that Mormons feel that there is some difference between him and the 12.
It impressed him that when a prophet passes away, no one has to worry about the remaining leaders of the church botching it up, because, we already know who the next Prophet is going to be: the most senior Apostle.

 Joseph Smith - the prophet puzzle
Some wish to compartmentalize Smith's treasure-seeing activity as irrelevant to his subsequent prophetic career, that it was an activity that Smith out grew rather than grew out of, or to view it as some kind of psychic training-ground for the developing prophet.
Early in his career it is likely that Smith conceived his prophetic role much the same as the Book of Mormon prophets, who for the most part write according to their best knowledge rather than by direct revelation.
Mormon, whose early life parallels Smith's--including being "visited of the Lord" at age fifteen--became the editor by "commandment" and records the things he has "both seen and heard" (Morm.
