:)

(How do you know I'm not?) :)

Hey...all I'd have to do is...
...become a Mormon...
...talk my would-be Lds bishop into a temple recommend...
...take two spouses in the Mormon temple...
...with a death separating the two...
...and viola!...
...CURRENT Mormon teaching sayz I'd be an ETERNAL Mormon POLYGAMIST!!!
Not exactly 70 virgins forever...but hey...Current Mormons don't have to stop at two such spouses, either...as long as they take them consecutively -- sequentially outliving spouses -- they could "rack up" quite a harem in the celestial Mormon heaven.

(And Mormons coyly deny they teach or practice polygamy any more...what a crock that people buy their lies & deceptions...and if those aren't lies & deceptions...then that proves they don't buy their own "lines" from their "prophets" "apostles" and general authorities...which means the whole thing should collapse on its own weight)

Beyond that, I think I've distanced myself a bit more from my polygamist ancestor by saying it wasn't a moral thing to do...went against Gen. 2:24; Matt: 19:6; Deut. 17:17...Whereas the ONLY thing I've found that Romney has said on the subject attempted to justify it as building a family in the desert.

The OTHER HUGE difference is that Mormons have an "afterlife" structure for supposed "current" and alleged "future" polygamy, whereas I have no actual plans for either. Therefore Romney needs to answer to CURRENT Mormon policy on "eternal celestial polygamy" and McConkie's Mormon apostolic "prophesy" that the Mormons would return to earthly polygamy.

Does he believe it? If Ann Romney died [Ann has been diagnosed with MS for about 15 years], and he took another wife in the Mormon temple ... say during his would-be POTUS years or even post-POTUS years, does Romney believe that "teaching the nation" -- particularly the younger generations -- that "eternal polygamy" is A-OK???
