That the seemingly arbitrary rules exist solely to test loyalty to the church
That you can never remove a Mormon temple garment under any circumstance
That Joseph Smith was a con man interested only in gaining influence for personal gain
That Joseph Smith's practices, such as treasure hunting and divination, reflected a desire to be a con man when they were actually a reflection of a trend at the time
That Joseph Smith married all of his wives by choice, that all marriages were physically expressed, or that they were marriages in the same sense understood today, claims which are used to criticize him for seemingly more questionable relationships
