>>Methodist.

My parents were Methodists before they joined, I have lots of relatives over there, Good upstanding group too. (I also have some Calvinists; they are all fun to talk to about religion)

>>You are one of the few LDS folks I have met who will discuss polygamy.

Why thank you. I believe if you are a true believer, nothing about your religion scares you. (Having grown up in the buckle of the Bible belt, Iowa, I got a lot of persecution by school mates, so I have heard almost everything) I am never afraid of an honest discussion, or an honest question. I have fun with the "When did you stop beating your wife" questions (like before we met, Grin) and love to learn about all religion.

Thank you for being so polite, it’s a rare commodity these days and according to the laws of economics should be more highly valued than it is.

I hope you don't mean the Methodists. The UMC as a whole is apostate. There are some refuges here and there.

The LDS has to wrestle with the original church teachings vs the revised church teachings vs the modern church teachings. Polygamy may have been an early belief but it works only as a last resort. It got the numbers up anyway. But the smartest thing they ever did was throw polygamy under the bus. It's a nightmare for a society where the number of women and men are equal. What ya'll do in the Celestial Kingdom is your own affair.
