One could also mention that the main reason for plural marriage in the early Church was because they were so many widows that needed to be cared for, due to the fact that killing a Mormon was not legally murder, at least in Missouri during those times.
 
I suppose you could mention it, but it goes against the LDS 'scripture' that I just posted........
 
D&C 132:
And as pertaining to the new and everlasting covenant, it was instituted for the fulness of my glory; and he that receiveth a fulness thereof must and shall abide the law, or he shall be damned, saith the Lord God.
Just what WAS the man/woman ratio by the time the Mormons (Some of them, anyway) got out of Missouri?
 
Surely there was no justification for an LDS leader to have taken an ALREADY married woman, was there?

Has anyone else noticed that the 'Official' LDS organization can 'claim' that the rebel, jackleg Mormons are not REALLY Mormons (or LDS) but get REALLY huffy when Catholics and Protestants say that they are 'christian'?
