Lds church confesses polygamy was 'an excruciating ordeal' for Joseph Smith's wife, Emma

7. Emma Smith's involvement...The essay explains that plural marriage was "an excruciating ordeal" for Emma...

Yup. And keep in mind "excruciating" is no average word...linked to the word "crucifix!" As the descendant of a Mormon polygamists -- with a relative who wrote about Lds polygamy -- I can attest to that! This Mormon blogger-apologist concedes within the article: "Polygamy...is difficult to defend as anything but unfair and at times emotionally cruel." Amen!

Mormons believe they will become a god, occupy their own planet and populate it with spirit-children. This blasphemy pales in comparison with having a few extra wives for cooking, ironing and such.
