There’s no such thing in The Bible...
We are saved as individuals...
Not as families...
I dont need a plural husband to be saved and go to Heaven...
Jesus died on the cross to give me salvation...
All that other junk is just something the false prophet Joseph Smith made up in order to swindle people and get them to follow him..
Truly, I am ignorant of all this. Is this from the bible, or another source?
Jessie L. Embry has a second book on polygamy (Millennial Press, 2007) that's in LDS stores. Mega research on polygamy is behind this and other authors' books on this topic. What's interesting is looking at Embry's research of the "average age" for when men & women got married.
According to Embry: Polygamists' marriage to first wife...average age was man was in early 20s, first wife was "late teens" (17-19). Second wife: Average age: 18 (while husband at that point was in early 30s). Third wife: Late teens (while husband at that point was in late 30s). Fourth wife: Late teens (while husband was in 30s or 40s). [Embry said 10% of her study had 2 wives; 20% had 3; 10% had 4 or more].
Notice that the average age of the "new wife" never really went up. As Embry said twice in her book: "As previously mentioned, a popular stereotype is that plural wives were older women who did not have anyone to support them." (p. 74)
So you can see that polygamist men were going after the teen-agers. Hmmmmm. (I wonder why???????????????)
