Joseph Smith salasi moniavioisuuden kirkon tavallisilta jäseniltä
Yhteenveto: On totta että Joseph ei aina kertonut kaikille moniavioisuudesta. Hän kuitenkin yritti muutaman kerran opettaa oppia pyhille. Tällöin on tärkeätä ymmärtää, että moniavioisuuden julkinen saarnaaminen - tai sen julistaminen kirkon jäsenille – ei yksinkertaisesti olisi ollut helppoa. Kriititkot jättävät ottamatta huomioon sen, mitä vaaraa siitä olisi tullut pyhille ja Josephille.
