Before the boards went down, much was being said about the difference between Joseph Smith’s plural marriages being for time and eternity or just for eternity.
Mormon posters claimed that most of them were just eternal sealings, which didn’t pertain to this life.
Helen Mar Kimball, 14, was one of his wives.
Smith went to Heber Kimball, Helen’s father, and told him to give Smith his wife, Vilate. Heber agreed, but was then relieved when Smith said, “Psyche! I was just kidding. But I’ll take your daughter instead.”
Mormons claim that this was one of the solely eternal sealings. If that is the case, then why was she separated from other young people, not allowed to even go to parties or dances, and definitely prohibited from dating?
If he only wanted her for a celestial kingdom wife, why did he need to prevent her from being with anyone in this life? Especially when he was marrying other women who already had living husbands.
Helen Mar was told that her family’s eternal salvation rested on her marrying Smith. She was not the only young girl that Smith groomed/spiritually blackmailed to be his. He told a 12 year old that God said she was supposed to marry him.
Why did he want little girls?
