Although I’m a one man, one wife, one vote kinda guy I think our nation has far more pressing problems the Senate should be addressing.

Damn RIGHT!!

Like Steriods & Sports or something...

[Elsie]

With the offer of Federal dollarsour taxes pouring in, enterprising communities will simply invent a polygamous problem in order to get a share of the loot.

[Elsie]

Well, maybe not so run of the mill. I don’t know too many women who would agree to the live in girlfriend under normal circumstances.

Well...

Since it AIN'T 'normal' to begin with...

Here; have some history:

---

 

 

 

 

THE
DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS

SECTION 132

 

  51–57, Emma Smith is counseled (commanded) to be faithful and true; 58–66, Laws governing the plurality of wives are set forth.

 

 

  51 Verily, I say unto you: A commandment I give unto mine handmaid, Emma Smith, your wife, whom I have given unto you, that she stay herself and partake not of that which I commanded you to offer unto her; for I did it, saith the Lord, to ^aprove you all, as I did Abraham, and that I might require an offering at your hand, by covenant and sacrifice.

  52 And let mine handmaid, Emma Smith, ^areceive all those that have been given unto my servant Joseph, and who are virtuous and pure before me; and those who are not pure, and have said they were pure, shall be destroyed, saith the Lord God.

  53 For I am the Lord thy God, and ye shall obey my voice; and I give unto my servant Joseph that he shall be made ruler over many things; for he hath been ^afaithful over a few things, and from henceforth I will strengthen him.

  54 And I command mine handmaid, Emma Smith, to abide and ^acleave unto my servant Joseph, and to none else. But if she will not abide this commandment she shall be ^bdestroyed, saith the Lord; for I am the Lord thy God, and will destroy her if she abide not in my law.

  55 But if she will not abide this commandment, then shall my servant Joseph do all things for her, even as he hath said; and I will bless him and multiply him and give unto him an ^ahundredfold in this world, of fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, houses and lands, wives and children, and crowns of ^beternal lives in the eternal worlds.

  56 And again, verily I say, let mine handmaid ^aforgive my servant Joseph his trespasses; and then shall she be forgiven her trespasses, wherein she has trespassed against me; and I, the Lord thy God, will bless her, and multiply her, and make her heart to ^brejoice.

Whatever HAPPENED to Emma???

---

 

Eliza was a devout Mormon. At age 38, she became Joseph Smith's 14th plural wife (in addition to Smith's lawful wife, Emma). In 1842, after learning Eliza was pregnant, Emma Smith beat Eliza with a broomstick and knocked her down a flight of stairs, causing Eliza to miscarry Smith's baby.

 

 

Wow!!

 

 

I guess ol' Emma got VAPORIZED by GOD!!!

 

 

We know that multiply him thing sure didn't work out!

[Tennessee Nana]

Wonder if this will be a repeat of the Reed Smoot hearings ?????

[Tennessee Nana]

Positive benefits of polygamy?

Isn’t lying breaking one of the Ten Commandments?

I read somewhere that adultery was too...

Oh yes, here it is...

Thou shalt not commit adultery. Exodus 20:14

[Tennessee Nana]

Is there a thread for the hearings ????

Reid started off by saying July 24th is Pioneer Day for the mormons...

It is the day that the mormons arrived in Utah...

He said it would honor their mormon ancestors by condemning polygamy..

Joseph Smith and Brigham Young are rolling over in their graves...

I wonder if Reid has his tongue in his cheek ????

[Tennessee Nana]

Orrin Hatch is there also...

He keeps asking the members of the panels to verify that the LDS and the fLDS are not connected...

[Tennessee Nana]

Stephen Singular, “When Men Become Gods” is testifying now...

[Tennessee Nana]

Carolyn Jessop now testifying...

[Colofornian]

Reid started off by saying July 24th is Pioneer Day for the mormons...It is the day that the mormons arrived in Utah...He said it would honor their mormon ancestors by condemning polygamy..Joseph Smith and Brigham Young are rolling over in their graves...

Well, if marriage is "forever" like the mainstream as well as lamestream Mormons (alone) say, then perhaps it's good news for Emma. (I'd say she'd qualify as one of those "plural" wives trying to escape from a polygamous relationship)

[Tennessee Nana]

I’m listenin g to Dr Fischer describer how the poor men are treated in the fLDS...

Their wives and children stolen from them...

It’s criminal..

The hearing just finished...

Lots of evidence...

[Elsie]

Well, if marriage is "forever" like the mainstream as well as lamestream Mormons (alone) say,

Paul(?) said that marriage ended at death.

I rather tend to believe HIM!

Romans 7:2

For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage.
