As it turns out, Kolob is the meso-American word for Vulcan!

From the article: Otterson identified for the journalists what he considered the five most common stereotypes of members of the LDS Church — that they are not Christian, that they belong to a cult, that they are insular and secretive, that they are weird and that they practice polygamy.

The Mormon church STILL conducts temple rituals for polygamy (for the afterlife).

Hey, Sandy, if polygamy isn't practiced why do you have young females writing message BYU board Q&As all worried about the CURRENT Mormon doctrine of polygamy?

Q: Dear 100 Hour Board, I know that in the church men are allowed to be sealed to more than one woman if their first wife passes away...I know this is church doctrine so I feel bad about having negative feelings about it, but I can't help feeling that it isn't fair. I worry too that I will have to share my (future) husband with another woman... -Troubled
Source: Mormon female worried about having to share her future husband with another wife for eternity

Notice that in the responses nobody said "polygamy ended in 1890."
