"So..... you are trying to convince us that NO ONE, in your 'rapidly expanding sect', meets the REQUIREMENTS for multiple wives today?!"

No, I said the current conditions do not make it possible. A plural marriage can only be performed by someone with the priesthood authority (keys) to perform that ordinace, and when
God commanded the practice be stopped, he withdrew the keys for that ordinace so it can not be done at this time, even in nations that do allow plural wives, church memebers must only have one.

The LDS still allows plural marriage in countries where it is legal correct?

Grig it seems to me that the prophets of the LDS have very convenient "revelation"

There are racial problems ..a new revelation Blacks may now be priests. The US does not allow plural marriage a revelation changes that doctrine.

It looks to an outsider as a very man controlled political prophet making theses pronouncements.
