Last time I look, there were no Mormon polygamist. The church outlawed it before Utah became a state. There are sect’s that practice polygamy the church does not associate with, like Islam.

I’d say Islam’s view of marriage is more in line with polygamy then the Mormon church.

I’ve got a big problem with any religion that conducts “secret ceremonies.”

In fact, any facet of any organized sect that requires secrecy is a valid indicator of a CULT.

Way back in 1976 the TODAY show had a special on UTAH in which it was stated that an estimated ten thousand Mormons in Utah were still polygamous.

Well, blink again -- at least if the Mormon jesus returns:

From an LDS apostle in a book that has the audacity to call itself "Mormon Doctrine" and widely available in LDS bookstores today:

"Obviously the holy practice (of polygamy) will commence again after the Second Coming of the Son of Man and the ushering in of the millennium." (LDS apostle Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, 1966 edition, see pp. 577-579 for context)
