Ploygamy is disgusting. Plain and simple. No matter what dressing covers it. And it’s even more disgusting that male fornication is covered up by religion.
As to forcing minors into marriage-there’s a reason why even hardcore criminals don’t like rapists, especially child rapists. Apparently, despite being antisocial element, they still have an understanding of social norms, as opposed to “Prophets”

There are remote minority enclaves in China and Tibet where polyandry is practiced. Not because the women want it, but because there is a shortage of women. They tend to die off due to malnutrition and childbirth. It’s not an easy life.

It’s the FLDS who are the true practitioners of true Mormonism as it was taught and practiced by Joseph Smith, “well now it’s illegal they’ll say,” well whatever happened to, “we would rather obey God than man,” to change the true tenets of your beliefs to suit man’s laws shows a manmade religion dictated and regulated by man not God, and those who do practice polygamy at least are sincere in their following the true Mormon teaching of Joseph Smith, but nevertheless are still sincerely wrong, as Jesus himself stated in direct opposition to Joseph Smith, “For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife, (not wives), and the two (not three, four, five, etc.) shall become one flesh, in the garden of Eden when he created man it was Adam and Eve, not Adam and Eve, and Debbie, and Shirley and…..” Mormonism was a good idea to justify the lust of wanting to shtoop different women, but how do you convince your wife, “divine revelation, yeah that’s the ticket!” so it’s not the God of the Bible who appeared to Joseph Smith, nor is it the God of the Bible that the Mormons worship today. Where “Jesus is the spirit brother of Lucifer” I don’t think so, or “as man is, God was, and as God is man will become,” I don’t think so, unless you’re listening to the serpent, the devil in the garden who said, “the day you eat of this fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, your eyes will be opened and you will be as God”, and it’s not the Jesus of the Bible who said, “in heaven there is neither marriage nor given in marriage, for they shall be as the angels of God.” So whoever gave this revelation to Joseph Smith, one thing is for sure, it was not of God, “Test the spirits little children for many false prophets have gone out of the world,” “and if anyone come and preach to you any other gospel than the one we have preached to you, even if it’s an angel from heaven, let him be accursed!”

Whether LDS or FLDS, this is the result of listening to men who claim to be listening to God and yet, spouting contradictions to the Biblical concept of marriage. The LDS have a history of changing history to suit the occasion. The mark of any cult is that they have a book that they equate to the Bible and when backed into a corner, will desert the Bible and rely on the book, usually written by a man who claims to have had a vision from God. Think of the masses who lived 1800 years before Joseph Smith cound the golden spectacles to read the mess called the Mormon bible. God help those caught up in this charade.

Jessica,

I’m not sure if you’ll even see this, but what the heck.

She says, “it was never about religion. it was about sexual deviance.”

Well, I don’t see how THAT could be attacking someone’s faith. I would love to hear her justification for such slander.

Then, she references the South Park episode about Mormons – if you haven’t seen it, I’ll just say it’s not exactly a highly unbiased, fair-minded Mormon critique. She calls it “BRILLIANTLY written (sic).”

If you don’t see how any of that is inflammatory, then I guess I don’t know what to say to you.

As for the Catholic thing – I simply pointed out that she was Catholic. The difference between Catholics and Mormons, IMO, is about a thousand more years for the world to become comfortable with some of Catholicism’s more controversial tenets. Catholics, in other words, are considered “mainstream” because they’re religion is older.

Paul,
I don’t understand where you see Ashley attacking the Mormon faith? She expressed a viewpoint, her own opinion about polygamy within Mormon church history. I also dont understand you bringing up the fact that she is Catholic, what does it matter?

Ashley (the bigot, not the Mormon),

You’re ripping on Mormons? And you’re a Catholic?

Honestly, I’m not going to rip on Catholicism. I AM Mormon, so I am a little sensitive to religious bigotry. But a Catholic ripping a Mormon for a peculiar Church history strikes me as, I don’t know, ironic.

The bottom line is that ALL religions require faith. Without it, smart people wouldn’t participate. Sorry, but them’s the facts.

“It is apparent that they marry very young girls. I find this abhorent, and yet, that is how all of the men and women in this closed society are raised. certainly marriage to a 13 year old was not as uncommon 200 years ago as we might think. How can we not allow parents of children to raise them the best way they know how?”

Uh, if _everyone_ in that society was truly okay with it, why have many of the women and girls run away or tried to run away? Why are so many suffering from mental, emotional, and physical abuse?

No mention of Abraham, Jacob, Salomon, David and the rest of the guys in the Bible?

These guys are the OG of polygamists.

Tonya:
Totally agree with you. One husband is awesome and enough.
