You acknowledge that fact. Why does he need to find sources, for they are COMMON KNOWLEDGE
they never slept with him, that is if, "if", you can produce some creditable evidence to show otherwise.
Logically, it is impossible to prove a negative, so your accusation is moot.
Second, the accusation is contrary to the normal bounds of marriage.
Third, lacking any evidence to the contrary, it is most probable that Smith did have relations with all 30 of his women.
Please provide evidence that Joseph slept with any of the women who were, SEALED, to him. Also good buddy, how could a man have had 30 some wives and not have produced any children? They did not have the pill in those days friend.
What you state is not supported by evidence. I googled "children of Joseph Smith" and found this (partial snip)
Historians have previously identified eight possible children of Joseph Smith borne by his plural wives. As of November 2007, DNA testing has shown that three of these eight children were not fathered by Joseph Smith.
Two other children died as infants and therefore left no posterity. DNA testing is underway or remains a possiblity for the the remaining three. They are listed below, along with the traditionally recognized mother and father:
DNA TESTING COMPLETE: (JS
IS the father of these)
Moroni Pratt (Birth: December 7, 1844)
Mother: Mary Ann Frost
Father: Parley P. Pratt
(confirmed via DNA research - May 2005)
Zebulon Jacobs (Birth: January 2, 1842)
Mother:
Zina Huntington Jacobs
Father: Henry Jacobs
(confirmed via DNA research – May 2005)
Oliver Buell (Birth: 1838 – 39)
Mother:
Presendia Huntington Buell
Father: Norman Buell
(confirmed via DNA research – November 2007)
I am eager to see your deflection when you try to rebut this piece of amateur ham work you consider still relevant. Must I remind you what Mossier and Owns said about old sensationalized criticisms, and false accusations.
No one needs to rebut non-given evidence. You failed to produce anything. OTOH I did a cursory web search, and found that stuff right off.
In doing that, I have created your work for you; I provided an example that runs contrary to what you ***ert. Your *** is to demonstrate exactly WHY the DNA testing of those three children is flawed, and then provide evidence that states that JS did NOT commit adultery with these stolen wives from other men.
You know today that is an alternative life style, just like today; they call it "swinging" now.
