One thing I noticed from studying polygamy in the US is that the Mormon Church doesn’t wink at things. If they tell you to do something, they expect you to do it. When they outlawed polygamy, they told the polygamists to go away. “Go to Canada or Mexico but you no longer exist in our eyes.”

When did that happen...
1 The prophet/president of the mormons Woodruff after his “proclamation in 1890 stayed in Utah and as the leadeer o0f the mormons and kept right on with his harem of polymous “wives”
as did the following prophets until the last one died in 1965...
Mormon men kept right on being “sealed” (married) in the temple to extra “wives” with whom they lived with ...(read sex here if youre from Rio Linda)
2. The Romneys ran away from the law in the US not the mormon religion...
It was a mormon colony that they began in Mexico...
ran from the mormon hierarchy in SLC..
After 1890 polymous couples would go down to Mexico to be “married” and then return to live in Utah...
Just do not beleive that to be correct, as my uncle married a woman who was from a polygamist union and the family lives in SLC and most are temple workers.
There are hundreds of polygamist families in SLC, and they are not thrown out of the SLC lds corporation.
Oh???
