The other day I went to look up a lie the church told on it's website about Henry Jacobs abandoning his wife and kids in the frozen desert and found they changed the wording recently.
https://www.lds.org/callings/relief-society/relief-society-presidents/zina-h-young?lang=engMarriage and Family
Zina married Henry Bailey Jacobs on March 7, 1841. They had two sons but did not remain together. As a plural wife of Brigham Young, Zina had one daughter.
By saying "They did not remain together." they really seem to have backed off of their previous position that Henry abandoned his wife and kids in the middle of winter in the desert at Winters Quarters.
https://www.lds.org/friend/1989/02/zina-diantha-huntington-young-angel-of-mercy?lang=eng"After Henry deserted Zina and the two little boys, Zebulon and Chariton, she married Brigham Young and crossed the plains to the Salt Lake Valley with his family. A few years later a daughter, Zina Presendia Young, was born."
Wait, what?
If your church is less forthcoming with the truth than Wikipedia, you might be in an abusive Doomsday Sex CULT.
After Smith's death in 1844, Jacobs stood by while Zina was sealed to Smith in the Nauvoo Temple.[14] Later in life, she called herself Joseph's "widow."[4]:698 Zina was present at the meeting at which Brigham Young was chosen to lead the church, after Young spoke with the voice and appearance of Smith.[15] Because she believed him to be God's chosen leader, she consented when Young, 20 years her senior, claimed he acted as Smith's proxy, proposed they be married for time (as many other members of the Quorum of the Twelve did with Smith's other plural wives). They were married February 2, 1846, and at the same time she was re-sealed to Smith for eternity.[6]:103 At this point, Young and other church leaders considered her civil marriage to Jacobs canceled, superseded by the spiritual marriages, though no formal divorce was ever documented.[6] In October 1861, Brigham would go on to assert, "There was another way—in which a woman could leave a man—if the woman preferred—another man higher in authority and he is willing to take her. And her husband gives her up—there is no Bill of divorce required in the case it is right in the sight of God."[6] In May 1846, Young called Henry Jacobs to serve a mission to England. During Jacobs's absence, Zina began living openly in a marital relationship with Young and continued to do so for the rest of her life.[10] :84,88,90–91[16] She had one child with Young, Zina Prescinda Young, in 1850.[2]
And this my friends, is why I hate this fucking abusive Dooomsday Sex CULT....
....Jacobs struggled with the arrangement, still very much feeling that Zina was his wife, and, in later years wrote to Zina, "the same affection is there .... But I feel alone .... I do not Blame Eny person .... [M]ay the Lord our Father bless Brother Brigham .... [A]ll is right according to the Law of the Celestial Kingdom of our God Joseph".[10] :81–82 Henry would eventually remarry and settle in Utah, though it appears that he and Zina did not keep correspondence or contact.
