Unlike the other Mormon's on this thread, are you willing, and/or able, to answer a few direct questions?

1. What is salvation and how does a non-Mormon obtain it?

2. Does polygamous marriage, with teenage girls, constitute child abuse?

3. Did Joseph Smith commit child abuse in his polygamous marriages with teenage girls?

ANSWER: (silence)

Apparently...not.

Just because we get tired of responding to people who bait us, doesn’t mean there aren’t answers.

I’ve already answered no. 1.

As for teen marriages, on those days, people got married younger. My great grandmother, not a polygamous wife, was 15 or 16. It was normal. Women not married by the age of 21 were considered old maids.

Sheesh - how did I miss this thread last week?

Quite the fireworks, and I only got through the first 500 posts.

Regarding the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints (FLDS), here is a news story from yesterday:

Warren Jeffs Set to Enter Plea in Ariz.

Excerpt:

KINGMAN, Ariz. (AP) — Polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs has already been sentenced in Utah to two consecutive terms of five years to life in prison. Now Arizona prosecutors get their shot at the Mormon fundamentalist.

Jeffs was scheduled to make his first court appearance in Arizona on Wednesday, where his lawyer says he'll plead not guilty to sex charges stemming from the arranged marriages of two teenage girls to older men. Arizona prosecutors filed charges against Jeffs even before he faced charges in Utah, where he was convicted last year of rape as an accomplice in the arranged marriage of a 14-year-old girl and her 19-year-old cousin.

_{Mohave County Sheriff's Office Capt. Greg Smith hands out a press release in Kingman, Ariz prior to holding a news conference where it was announced that polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs was handed over to Arizona authorities Tuesday Feb. 26, 2008. Jeffs was handed over to Arizona authorities Tuesday to face sex charges stemming from the arranged marriages of two teenage girls to older relatives. Jeffs, who has already been convicted in Utah, has an initial court appearance in Arizona scheduled for Wednesday morning. (AP Photo/Ross D. Franklin)}
