Actually, you distort. You've had it explained before that it is not required for a person to enter into a plural marriage to abide by the new and an everlasting covenant unless the person is commanded to do so. So God commanding an end to plural marriages doesn't stop anyone from abiding by that covenant.

To suggest otherwise is to promote the same reasoning used by abusive and child molesting nutcases. You don't want to do that, do you?

I'm sure you would have loved for me to walk into the setup so you could put me on the defensive, but you will have to try much harder than that. They suffered a lot worse things than a lack of statehood for their beliefs, and were willing to suffer more too. It was only at God's command that the practice was stopped, and that is not a change in doctrine any more than taking the gospel to the gentiles was.
