  1. Thank you so much bringing this excellent panel together.
    At the 1:29 mark, Sandra makes a fascinating observation about section 132’s focus on virgins, noting that its likely the time when JS began focusing on younger women. And more importantly, its likely that Emma is aware of only those sealings that JS had.
    Even as a TBM adolescent, I wondered about that focus on virgins. In my ward there were multiple couples who were on their second marriage which seem contradictory to section 132. Obviously, looking at the list of JS’s wives, he wasn’t paying attention to the virgin requirement.

  2. In part, Section 132 is an after the fact justification of Smith’s affair with Fanny Alger. Since she was (as we suppose) a 17 year old virgin and not committed to any other man, Smith could not have committed adultery as charged by Oliver Cowdery. Convenient in the extreme.
