Colofornian ~:” The only thing is...that the guy’s previous wife or wives have to be dead before he can add to his eternal harem.
Some of the CURRENT Lds “apostles” even have 2 such wives apiece. “

I beleive that is commonly called “ serial monogamy “
, as what happens when one wife is deceased .

Are you opposed to re-marriage after one’s mate is deceased ?
Or do you consider remarriage under such circumstances as ‘polygamy ‘ ?

In Mormonism, you do not stop being married after death. The marriage is for eternity, and they will continue having sexual relations and children (if they are good enough to enter the Celestial heaven) to populate their own worlds.

In Christianity, marriage ends when one is dead.

Mar_12:25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

Rom_7:3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

(Except that in Mormonism, marriage is FOREVER...meaning this is called eternal polygamy -- to Mormons, anyway--upon death)
