I don't think he will ever leave. I'm not sure about his kids. I do know that at least one married outside of the Mormon church.

No evidence of that yet, and it's been eleven years now.

It's odd that RSR is reputed on one hand to be faith-promoting for Mormons, and on the other hand a noble attempt to bring everything, yes EVERYTHING, out into the open. It's neither. Some people have lost their belief based only on extra facts from RSR.

Bushman is given a pass for his naturalistic, essentially faithless account of Joseph Smith's life for one reason. It creates the false impression that there's nothing left to reveal. You now know it all. That's an important conceit for "educated" or "intellectual" Mormons to display to each other, at least those who've never gone online. lol

Bushman's in it for life and he has stated this. I believe he is now a Patriarch. His eyes are pretty much open and so are his wife's. But they're not going to rock the boat this late in the game.

I wonder if Bushman and his wife at this point have a solid conviction that they are destined to become a god and goddess in the Celestial Kingdom.
