From the article: The fallout continues for the Brown family of TLC’s “Sister Wives.” After the cable television series debuted Sept. 26, Meri Brown, of Lehi, lost her job. “They felt that they needed to protect the company, I think,” Meri said in an episode of “The Oprah Winfrey Show” that aired Thursday. “It actually makes me really sad because I loved my job. It breaks my heart, definitely. ... But I understand where they’re coming from.”

Well, are the homosexuals and mass media going to rush to her defense claiming what she does in her bedroom is of no interest to her employers? (Will they be consistent?)

From the article: The Browns are still waiting to hear if they will have legal problems to go along with Meri’s job situation. Earlier this month, Lehi police presented a case against the Browns to the Utah County Attorney’s Office, which is screening the evidence for charges of bigamy, a third-degree felony. The penalty carries up to five years in prison.

(On the other hand, there's this little matter about the "legality" of her lifestyle)

Janelle, the big fat blonde one, should be the next to lose her job.

She works in one of the courtrooms in SLC!

exactly.

The same people that argue that homosexuality should be legal are also against polygamy.

I gotta say this.

First off, I’m Catholic, not LDS. But I live in St. George, Utah. There are NO WORDS for me to tell you how mad this show makes me. My sister asks why I watch it and I reply that I must be a glutton for punishment.

I resent TLC trying to normalize this crap, as so many Mormons around me resent it. The LDS people have been trying to “mainstream” their faith in America for a hundred years. Mind you, I don’t agree with the tenets of the LDS faith, being Catholic and all.

I am absolutely certain that Mormon intervention in Prop 8 in California was the fear that the definition of marriage would change, opening the door for these polygamist kooks. I don’t believe it had a thing to do with gays; it had to do with offering these nuts a way to redefine marriage & thus Mormonism, in a way that most now reject. While I don’t agree with them on religious issues, I find the Mormon people endearing. They are genuinely nice and decent. I can understand why they don’t want screwballs such as those on “Sister Wives” representing them, just as I don’t want miscreant priests representing me.

I may have posted this before, I can’t recall. But I want to tell a story.

But before I tell my story I’d like to remind everyone that if you live in St. George, you sure know what a “lost boy” is. We see them all the time, along I-15, carrying all their worldly goods. Just Google “Lost Boys Mormon” and you will figure it out.

When I worked at my plant nursery, I saw many polys...their “Little House on the Prairie” dress is distinctive. I became used to seeing them.

One afternoon, a young woman came in (probably 19 or 20) with a little boy in tow, and I was helping her sort through herb plants. She was striking, because I had never seen a gal who was so naturally pretty in my entire life.. No makeup at all. She could have been a model for any agency in the world.

When we finished choosing plants, I walked her to the front of the store, chatting about how to water them, etc. She got in line, and then I got my surprise. A man, who was 90 years old if he was 50, came up behind her, putting his arm around her. I was okay until the kid called him “Dad.” DAD

This man was her spouse.

You would have had to have seen this yourself. I became so physically ill that my boss grabbed me and said “I think it’s time for me to take a break with you.” He (mainstream LDS) explained to me that, in the pecking order of things in the old LDS way, the more senior the man, the more pretty and youthful gal he was permitted to select. Sick.

No wonder the mainstream LDS church fought how marriage is defined. Who wouldn’t be mortified that their faith would be portrayed this way?

Polygamy has one big problem that they cannot overcome:

“It’s not like we’re trying to promote our lifestyle,” Meri said.

Of course the woman is only married to one man. SO they are firing her because she won’t divorce her husband who is cheating on her?

Would they fire a woman who worked for them if they found out she was sleeping with someone else’s husband? I can’t imagine they would.

And one more thing...(while I’m at it. LOL)

To watch these middle school, junior high aged boys walking along the highway, alone, is really something. They don’t wait until these boys are senior high school age. They kick them out at puberty. Can you imagine your son being left alone, in the middle of the desert, to fend for himself with nothing but the clothes on his back? And little formal schooling?

I have to laugh when this doofus says “Love should be multiplied, not divided.” Apparently, he has never taken MATH.

Listen asshole, in NO world can a man have four wives, without creating an excess of single males.

Grab a history book and learn what happens when a country and culture has an excess of single males.

We call it WAR.

If marriage is going to be redefined to allow two men or two women to get “married” then why shouldn’t polygamy be allowed? Why not group marriages? Why not adult incest marriages?

Welcome to the Obamanation.

“The Browns were aware they could face legal trouble when they agreed to do the show. “We knew there were risks, but we feel like this story, for the sake of our entire family, is an important one to tell,” said Janelle, in an interview prior to the show’s premiere. Added Robyn, “And we are willing to take those risks.””

How could there be any risk if there are not multiple marriage licences or fraud? To my understanding a bunch of folks living together and calling themselves married carries no legal risk unless there is fraud or getting multiple marriage licenses by lying to the state. Seems like the risk would be minimal if these loons just kept their noses clean.

I can’t believe that this garbage is on TV. It’s depraved.

If Gay Marriage is now becoming the normal progression of Civil Rights, why is Polygamy still treated any differently?

What the heck, Adults committing Incest will the next Civil Right. How dare Government make Laws violating the Civil Rights of Siblings, First Cousins or Parents and their Adult Children who want to Marry each other?

Once the door is opened, how do you close it?

The Country is swirling down the drain.
