Thoughts on the Nauvoo Expositor

Various posts relating to the paper that was the beginning of the end.

Vicious Lies of the Expositor?

 

A challenge for people to find a single “vicious lie” in the Nauvoo Expositor. Several submissions are answered in this post and submissions requiring more in-depth answers are found below.

 

Joseph a Land Speculator?

Was the Expositors allegation that Joseph was a land speculator and dipped into church finances for personal use a “vicious lie”?

Indecent Proposals

The women who went public about Joseph’s proposals paid a price. This is not a lie from the Expositor.

The Dubiosity of John C Bennett

The authors of the Nauvoo Expositor had very good reason to trust John C Bennett. The Expositor did not lie.

Then are ye Damned

The Expositor claimed Joseph told women they were damned if they rejected. This was not a lie.

The Women Who Said Nope!

There is much to learn from the women who safely rejected Joseph.

Picking the Nits

Straw man arguments, tunnel vision and invisible exceptions. The Expositor did not lie.

Discrediting the Expositor

These posts examine aspects of how Joseph and his colleagues responded to the threat of the Expositor. More posts are in the works…

Conflicted Nauvoo City Council

The men in the Nauvoo City Council had numerous conflicts of interest. This would affect the outcome of their deliberation.

Examining the Witnesses

The witnesses who testified against the men of the Expositor also had significant conflicts of interest.
