She then read the First Presidency’s original

letter to the Relief Society on its founding in 1842:


We therefore warn you, and forewarn you …

we do not want anyone to believe anything as coming from us contrary to the old established morals & virtues, & scriptural laws. …

All persons pretending to be authorized by us … are and will be liars and base imposters & you are authorized …

to denounce them as such …

whether they are prophets, Seers, or revalorizes, patriarchs, twelve apostles … you are alike culpable & shall be damned for such evil practices” (Ibid., 173-174).


In a later session that afternoon,

Emma emphasized that the church had publicly declared

 itself opposed to plural marriage in the Doctrine and

Covenants and reiterated that the Relief Society’s original charge

was to root out iniquity...


[Emma] then presented both the

“Voice of Innocence” and the presidency’s letter, stating that the two documents contained the principles the society had started upon, but she “was sorry to have to say that all had not adhered to them.”


Referring to Joseph’s original charge to search out iniquity, Emma reminded the women that she was the president of the society by the authority of Joseph.


The minutes record,


 “If there ever was any Authority on earth [to search out iniquity] she had it–and had [it] yet.”


Emma urged the women to follow the teachings of Joseph Smith as

 he taught them “from the stand,”

implying that his private teachings should be disregarded.


 Reminding them that

“there could not be stronger language than that just read,”

she emphasized that those were Joseph’s words” (Ibid., 174).




The Relief Society would not meet again.


“When Emma had the women take a public oath with their hands raised in support of virtue, she caused enough consternation in the men’s councils to stop the Relief Society meetings” (Ibid., 174).


Church president John Taylor explained that the

“reason why the Relief Society did not continue from the first organization was that Emma Smith the Pres. taught the sisters that the principle of Celestial Marriage as taught and practiced by Joseph Smith was not of God” (174).


Yet the official history of the Relief Society states that the Relief Society’s meetings


“were suspended in 1844 due to the various calamities which befell the saints” (174).

 At the Relief Society’s sesquicentennial.


 Sheri Dew wrote that


“by 1844 Relief Society membership exceeded 1,300. But after the martyrdom, and with increasing persecution, Brigham Young decided to “defer” operations of the society, and it ceased to function”


(Ensign, Mar. 1992, 51).



Here’s how the CES Manual

“Church History in the Fulness of Times”


describes it:



Although at that time Latter-day Saint women had

to apply to become members, the Relief Society

was very popular and grew rapidly.


Membership had grown to over thirteen hundred women

 at the time of Joseph Smith’s death.


 Because of the crisis created by


the Martyrdom and the exodus to and


settlement in the West,


there were few Relief Society meetings


until the organization was revived in 1867.



Some apologists constantly ridicule critics and


former members for stating that the church


“covers up” embarrassing history.


 But this kind of rewriting of history is exactly that.


The truth is uncomfortable,

so it is swept under the rug,

 and church members are left to

choose to believe Sheri Dew over John Taylor.


I wrote that post almost

7 years ago.

 To recap, the Relief Society was suspended in March 1844,

3 months before Joseph Smith’s death.

At that point, there was no discussion of moving

 west and no obvious schism between Emma Smith and Brigham Young.


 The Relief Society was suspended because Joseph Smith was unhappy that


Emma was using the meetings to

“thwart the practice of plural marriage.”


My guess is that Joseph understood that too much investigation would reveal the extent of his practice of polygamy, including the awkward fact that both of Emma’s counsellors in the Relief Society presidency were intimately involved in polygamy, with Sarah Cleveland having married Joseph Smith and Elizabeth Whitney having given her daughter Sarah to Joseph as a wife.



Yet here it is 2016, and the church is still insisting that the suspension was Brigham Young’s doing and was a by-product of the move to the West.


So much for “remarkable transparency.”

Correction: The original version of this post listed Elizabeth Whitney as one of Joseph Smith’s plural wives, which is incorrect…
