Critics claim that some Church leaders taught that plural marriage was a practice that would persist forever.  Jerald and Sandra Tanner wrote that "Brigham Young" said that polygamy would never go away in ''Deseret News'' of 7 November 1855.

The issue of the ''Deseret News'' cited has a talk from Heber C. Kimball that addresses polygamy, but not Brigham Young.{{ref|hck.1}}
 
 
 
The text reads, in part:
 
 
 
:The principle of plurality of wives never will be done away, although some sisters have had revelations that, when this time passes away and they go through the veil, every woman will have a husband to herself.
 
 
 
Heber clearly teaches that the ''principle'' "will never be done away," but then readily admits that some of the sisters (who are obviously not fond of the practice) have been reassured that the requirement that ''they'' practice it has been revealed to them to be necessary only for this life.
 
 
 
Thus, Kimball's remarks make it clear that plural marriage will remain a true principle, but in the same breath he anticipates a time when it will not be required or in force for all those who are saved—which is exactly the opposite impression which the critics wish to create.
