Mormonism LIVE: 086: Would the Real Joseph Smith Please Stand Up?

Major News in Mormonism happened this week when a photograph surfaced alleging to be the Prophet Joseph Smith. So Bill and RFM dug into the story and followed the trail examining the Photographs, Portraits, Daguerreotypes, and other depictions both known to be Joseph for certain and also alleged to see if we could get to the bottom of what Joseph Smith really looked like.

  1. Nice work as always.

    I only have one thing to add that would solve everything. President Russell M. Nelson just needs to be transfigured to look, sound, and move as Joseph Smith as Brother Brigham did.
