Who Was the Real Joseph Smith? Interview With His 2nd Counselor, William Law 

Probably not the first, but the most successful.

She was the Madame

The "official responses" change often. The typical response we hear from members is that William Law was a bad person. The idea is to demonize the messenger so that the message means nothing. We have studied William Law's life and have found nothing serious or disappointing. In fact, he was very popular/well-respected in Nauvoo(which is why Joseph chose him to be his 2nd Counselor) and later in life as well. After Joseph's death, his creditors were after his assets/estate to pay his debts off. Emma had some assets in her own name and refused to help pay Joseph's debts. William Law gave some of his land holdings in Nauvoo to help make the creditors whole again. Just one example of Law being a decent person.

@@latterdaysmarts244 Thank you very much for this information. Law absolutely seems like a decent, righteous and very honest man. I'm sure he knew much more than he even told. I've also noticed that when the LDS church is confronted by a fact they can't answer to they use a catchall phrase using their favorite word "regrettable"! Thank you very much for your extremely informative, interesting and entertaining videos. Methinks that you've only found the tip to the iceberg!!

Yes he does. His accounts also match many other accounts of fellow members, which also match the accounts of nonmembers in surrounding settlements, judges, governors, etc. A consistent narrative. We agree that the word "regrettable" does not do it. Thank you! Yes just when you think the rabbit hole cannot go any deeper, it does.

Mormon Meca. But who do you throw stones at?
