Nor do modern day Mormons practice or approve polygamy.

While this is a true statement of many contemporary Mormons, let it known that they are at odds with official Mormon doctrine and church-sanctioned temple ritual practices.

First of all, LDS leaders believe that the LDS will once again come to resemble the fLDS:

Deceased LDS apostle Bruce R. McConkie, wrote in the book Mormon Doctrine in 1966--a book approved at their highest levels (McConkie wrote an earlier version of the book which was NOT run by top leaders and which they indeed had some problems...these were "corrected" in the '66 version):

"Obviously the holy practice (of polygamy) will commence again after the Second Coming of the Son of Man and the ushering in of the millennium." (Mormon Doctrine, 1966 edition, see pp. 577-579 for context)

Did you see that? An LDS apostle who referenced polygamy as a "holy practice."

Secondly, we’ve all seen the Mormon bumper sticker, "families are forever." Since LDS believe marriage is forever. So if you were one of the 7 LDS polygamous "prophets"--or one of the other 63+ LDS general authorities who practiced polygamy in your lifetime--they believe all these folks are alive & well on another planet practicing "guess what?" polygamy!!! (LDS only believe earthly household polygamy was done away with "for time"--but not "for eternity."). [In fact, LDS still practice temple "serial-based monogamy for time leading to supposed eternal polygamy" in that a Mormon male, for example, can be "sealed for eternity" to more than one spouse...say in the case of a spouse who died and then he remarried...he may be sealed to both "for eternity" and LDS expect that person to be a polygamist once all parties die.]

While church leaders no longer allow the practice of polygamy here on Earth, they do allow a living man to be sealed to another woman after the death of his wife, or after divorce. This leads to the obvious situation of establishing multiple sealings on Earth that, according to Mormonism, will necessitate polygamy in heaven. Writing in 1897 LDS Apostle Charles W. Penrose stated [my note: please note that 1897 is a "post-end polygamy manifesto year"]:

In the case of a man marrying a wife in the everlasting covenant who dies while he continues in the flesh and marries another by the same divine law, each wife will come forth in her order and enter with him into his glory ("Mormon" Doctrine Plain and Simple, or Leaves from the Tree of Life, by Charles W. Penrose, p.66, 1897, Salt Lake City, UT).

This doctrine was reaffirmed in October of 2007 at the funeral for the second wife of President Howard W. Hunter, the fourteenth President of the LDS Church. The Deseret News reported:

President Hinckley affirmed the eternal nature of the marriage between Sister [Inis] Hunter and the former church president, whose first wife, Claire Jeffs, died after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease and is now buried beside him in the Salt Lake Cemetery. Inis Hunter "will now be laid to rest on the other side," he said. "They were sealed under the authority of the Holy Melchizedek Priesthood for time and for all eternity," he said, recalling the marriage ceremony he performed for them in the Salt Lake Temple in April 1990. ("Sister Hunter's humor and cheerfulness remembered as she is laid to rest," Deseret News, Oct. 22, 2007).

Another example of plural sealings is Apostle Russell M. Nelson 's marriage in 2006 to a BYU professor. The BYU NewsNet for April 7, 2006 announced the temple marriage of Apostle Nelson, age 81, to Wendy Watson (see [link]). His first wife died in February of 2005 and this was the first marriage for his new wife. This would mean, according to LDS beliefs, that Nelson has two wives sealed to him for eternity.
