IIRC didn't Romney's Great Grandparents move to Mexico so that they could continue to live in Polygamy after the Mormon Church banned the practice in the United States.
And IIRC doesn't the Doctrine and Covenants prohibition on polygamy only apply to the practice within the jurisdiction of the United States?
And wasn't the covenant which introduced polygamy to the LDS Church supposed to be an Everlasting Covenant and that anyone who refused to refused to abide in that covenant, was to be damned?
These FLDS are simply practicing what your ancestors practiced in Utah 100 years ago. Section 132 has never been rescinded, and according to the "official declaration" it's prohibition only applies where the government has declared plural marriage to be forbidden.
If the United States were to declare that plural marriage is no longer illegal, would you be willing to enter into the everlasting covenant in Section 132? Would you allow your husband to take on a new virgin wife?
P-M, Are you going to accuse Abraham, Jacob, Moses and many other Old Testament Prophets of being polygamists? You go way back into church history and dig up some old news. I could do the same to the Baptists - you know, the snakes and all, not to mention the KKK.
Religion Moderator - See what I mean? I call someone a “clown” because of their ignorant statement about my beloved Church but you allow some people to spew such hateful nonsense about my Church.
Whatever. I’m going to bed. I should never have come here. When will I ever learn?
I am not offended by plural marriage under the sanction of the Lord.
Because the purpose of Marriage is about being children into the world.
As I see it the Lord was in the restoration mode and that the LDS were few and the Lord wanted to replenish the earth with is anointed to bring into the earth might souls to continue and establish a firm foundation.
You can PM have all the earthly thoughts you want but I am thankful and it has strengthen the Church.
What the FLDS have done was to mock the Lords ordinance something that was never given to the organization but brought confusion among the weak minded who lack critical thinking.
Pretty much the way folks are over Obama they don’t know why they like him they just do!
Those who dislike the LDS many times lack critical thinking and have no interest in seperating fact from fiction about the LDS!
Some will come along after my post and try to turn my words on me and the scripture have warn about those kind of wicked souls too!
