Summary

In this episode, Gerrit discusses a book that was randomly sent to a litner, Joseph Smith Revealed: A Faithful Telling: Exploring an Alternate Polygamy Narrative. Gerrit provides an academic breakdown of the arguement taking it apart piece by piece. Richard provides a slightly less comprehensive review by calling the book stupid. In these highly charged political times The Standard of Truth Podcast finally takes a controversial stance. We stand with Connecticut against the 3rd Amendment. Cynical people may say that we are only doing this for website traffic, but they are all James Madison apologists. In addition, never in the history of words has anyone read anything as poorly as Richard read the emails from the Phoebe Draper Palmer Brown Mailbag on this episode. If you have ever thought you might share The Standard of Truth Podcast with friends or family, we recommend that you do not share this episode.
