[But, but, but, the MORMONS do this? That can’t be.]

What’s funny is that Mormons repeatedly tell us that merely claiming to be Christian is the same as being Christian, but any polygamists claiming to be true Mormons must be ostracized because they aren’t true Mormons.

FC, you are coming really close to personal abuse with that smarmy comment that you have to know is a lie.

“because they aren’t true Mormons.”

They aren’t. Either they never were members of the LDS church in the first place, or they have been excommunicated.

That cult is to Mormonism what People’s Temple was to Protestants.

There are extremist cults as off shoots of just about any religion. My family is all Baptist but to be fair, many cross burners and lynchers have claimed to be Baptists and good Christians.

Besides, this isn’t adult polygamy we are talking about - these are cults that force underage girls - that’s very different than a society where an adult man can marry a second adult wife if the first adult wife consents.
