Actually it’s on “hold” they never did away with it. The reason it’s on hold was so Utah could get statehood. It’s in their doctrine still.

Right after the 1890 proclamation and Utah was now a state the Mormons sent their first congressman to Washington...a well known polygamist...

How sincere is that ???

Now does that sound like the Mormon gods really wanted the practice of Mormonism to cease ???

He didnt ever get to be seated though...

7 MILLION indignant Christians around the country signed a petition against a guy with such an indecent lifestyle...

BTW that Mormon prophet who made the proclamation never did “put away” his extra wives...

nor did the succeeding “prophets”...

not for several DECADES...
