I’ve already answered no. 1.

Ah...yes (sort of). In regard to what salvation is and how a non-Mormon obtains it...you responded:

If you believe in Christ and accept his atonement in remission of your sins, you will be “saved” in the sense that you will receive a degree of “glory” in the hereafter greater than you can imagine.

In order to receive exaltation, you must do more.

And I responded to your answer with this question:

What happens to you if you don't believe In Christ and accept His atonement?

How do you accept His atonement...What is involved with that?

To which...you did not respond.

Do you care to respond, now?

Also...especially if your handle implies that you are truly an attorney, you know that you did not specifically answer questions 2 and 3. I did not ask about "teen marriages". I asked:

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

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

These are "yes" or "no" questions, counselor.

So...which is it - "yes" or "no"?

>”Age at marriage for women of complete families increased over the period from 19.3 in 1680-1709 to 25.3 from 1800-1809. The pattern of change parallels that of the decrease in mean number of children ever born. The most substantial increases in female age at 1st marriage occurred at the same times as the most substantial decreases in mean number of children. The patterns of 1st marriage for males is different prior to 1740. Nantucket men 1st married at an average age of about 24; between 1740-80 the age dropped 1 year and after 1780 it rose steadily until it reached 25.6.<”
