It seems that "high" prist Timur Van Dykes learned about his deparvity from the Mormon prophet Joseph Smith who had a habit of stealing the childhood away from little children in his day as well. On March 24, 1832, Eli Johnson, Nancy Marinda Johnson's Brother, led a group of men who pulled the prophet Joseph Smth from his bed and "tarred and feathered" Smith because of his sexual indiscretions with his 15-year old sister, Nancy Marinda Johnson. Eli also screamed for Smith's castration as well.

One particularly embarrassing fact about the Mormon religion that arose from the Reed Smoot hearings, which were held between 1904 and 1907, was that the Mormon religion didn’t really give up polygamy with the “1890 Manifesto”. The “1890 Manifesto” was a formal decree by the Mormon religion to finally end polygamy in the United States.
