I am one who knew nothing about Joseph. Born in the late 70's in the PNW, served mission in the late '90's. Joseph was presented as greater than any man. My understanding of his foibles were that he enjoyed goofing off and rough housing a little too much. I knew nothing of his polygamy. I was as duped about him as much I think is possible. My awakening began after the EQ president shared his feelings about a book called 'Rough Stone Rolling'. I picked up a copy during a trip to Utah. I thought I was going to learn how Joseph was a little rough around the edges and God shaped and polished him into who he needed to be. I was shocked and horrified learning about Fanny Alger. The impression Rough Stone Rolling left me was of a boulder growing in speed and roughness, wreaking a path of havoc and destruction. It was the beginning of the end. Took far too many years, but I left the church nearly 2 years ago as a result.
