The Mormon sect that had their own plates: examining the Strangites
August 19, 2026 at 2:07 AM MT · via YouTube / All Those In Favor · Summarized by Mormon News from original reporting
The "All Those In Favor" YouTube channel examines the Strangite branch of Mormonism, a splinter group that claimed to possess their own set of ancient metal plates translated by James Strang after Joseph Smith's death. The video, which has drawn over 5,600 views in 38 hours, explores how the Strangites' claim to gold plates affects belief in Joseph Smith's translated plates. The channel acknowledges the work of another creator who produced a "fantastic and charitable" account of Strangite history.
