The essence of being a Mormon is proving that YOU are WORTHY. Apparently if you didn't get your Bishop's approval for a Temple Recommend, you could end up with that Bishop being married to YOUR WIFE for eternity!

Is this practice still going on?

No.

So they sleep with their unworthy mortal husbands while at the same time they are officially married to some other man who has been officially declared "Worthy".

That's rich.

The "marriage is "not for this earth, and it's often called "Spiritual Wifery" just to make it even less clear, LOL!

Hey, it would be easy for me to deny this stuff, but I tell the truth, even when it makes me look bad, as apparently this thread is doing (according to some of the posts here) On the other hand, I've received some mail that praises my courage while questioning my intellect (in even being involved and trying to answer) from other Momrons, LOL! DU, this is a most apt description I have ever read of Mormon theology.

A "very confusing mess".

Indeed.

actually, polygamy makes for a confusing mess, not Mormon theology, that's straight forward compared to this anyone want to talk about that instead?

BTW that was a heck of a lousy defense of the indefensible. But then when you are defending the indefensible, you really don't have many good points, just "a very confusing mess."

Actually, I'm not defending anything, just stating the logical conclusion that Polygamy is legal according tot he Bible. It's not a unique conclusion to come to as evidenced by the quotes I listed before, many men of learning have come to the same conclusion, however, it's illegal in the US, and I am not promoting it as a practice because it's illegal.

Why do I feel like I keep saying "I'm just sayin'" all the time?

So that is your around this you think the sister have to take a back seat because her husband is not interested in doing the right thing!

How selfish!

No DU, Mormon Theology is just as much of a confusing mess as this polygamy nonsense. The whole doctrine of Eternal Progression that the LDS Church teaches (when it isn't denying that it teaches it) is intertwined with the whole idea of Polygmay. The whole three levels of heaven nonsense is also tied to the Polygamy nonsense. That is why a woman will get married for eternity to her Bishop when she is married "for time" to some ex-Mormon or a non-Mormon or an "Unworthy" beer slugging Jack Mormon. She can't get into the Celestial Kingdom unless her Husband calls her through the veil with her secret name, and her husband can't call her through the veil unless he's been declared worthy and knows all the secret handshakes and was buried in the proper underwear.

No, DU, the whole Mormon religion is a "VERY CONFUSING MESS" and you have aptly described it as such when you admitted that the doctrine of Polygamny that is still taught and revered and defended by the LDS Church is a "VERY COINFUING MESS".

I frankly don't see how any thinking man or woman can buy into all this Mormon nonsense. The Polygmany nonsense is just the tip of the iceberg. The rest of the Mormon nonsense is underneath the surface, but it is all a VERY CONFUING MESS. VERY? CONFUSING INDEED. Every jot and tittle of Mormon theology is a very confusing mess.

Thanks for the apt description.
