The priesthood is The Force, the church teaches you how to use that priesthood authority to do All The Things. After that we get the lineage/genealogy of priesthood authority. To sum up, be biologica…

Cholera sweeps through the Mormons camped on the Fishing River, which hopefully had nothing to do with the remains of a dead "warrior" that Joseph has been carrying around? Most of the saints stay in…

First, a quick recap of Mormon history up until June 1835, then Joseph tells his weary band of followers that this entire walk from Ohio to Missouri has been for naught. Bonus points for victim blami…

NOT A REVELATION. Sidney Rigdon gets written out of history in a few decades, but for right now he's one of the three most important people in the church. Joseph sets up a hierarchy and a quasi-basis…
