Don't know how or why but ever since i was a small boy I've always believed that polygamy was right even when you study Holy Scriptures and /or history multiple wives have always been a way of life.... it is only modern society that frowns on this.... yet they nod their heads and say that homosexuality is OK. C'mon homosexuality is not OK any normal human being can tell you that it is not.
I am impressed that these teens were raised to be such wonderful and individual persons of society. This how plural marriage was meant to be practiced. The man must take care of all of his wives and take care of the children that he brings into the world. Often, you see those that abuse women and neglect their children. It isn't having lots of wives and children that is celestial... it is how you take care of what God has given you that makes it celestial.
@SuperTheophany I agree. Most of what people want to read/hear is the smut, the negative. But if all polygamists were to practice it the proper way then people would be more accepting.
at one side i believe gay and poligamy should be legal!..... but on difference to gays ...we should teach in schools the pro and vs of polygamy.... we have come so far on woman's equality.....to go back to the dark times! your liberal friend!!!!
If God or nature intended for us to live in polygamy, there wouldn't be almost even numbers of men and women being born every year. This is sick. And these people breed like rabbits so it'll probably never really be stopped.
The way I was raised, there was no such thing as pre-marital sex. The first person you slept with was your husband or wife in God's eyes, and every person you slept with after that was an act of adultery. These men are slapping God in the face!
By the time they reach marriageable age there are far more men in jail, in mental asylums, dead due to reckless behavior, or involved in lifestyles that make them unfit for marriage.
Plural marriage allows a women to choose a good Christian man who may have already proved himself as a good husband and father. Should we force a woman to marry an 'unworthy' man or to remain unmarried? Is that more Godly?
My grandmother raised 8 children on her own after her husband died in a bridge collapse in 1964. She did it with the help of her friends & family, she honored & loved her husband even in death. You can help out a widow or divorcee without marrying them. Give women a little more credit - we're not useless. We can survive & flourish without a man's leadership, SHOCK!
Besides that, there are plenty of men to go around, the majority are honorable & would give a woman the love she deserved.
@MsKittieReed Might I remind you of Abraham, Jacob, David, and others in the Bible who had multiple wives and are considered "Heroes of the Faith" (Hebrews 11)? And your argument about "breeding like rabbits"? God's first command to Adam & Eve and the animals was "Be fruitful and multiply", the same or similar commands being repeated throughout the scriptures. If polygamy were a sin for these men, then David would have "commited adultry with seven out eight wives.
@Mjena23 Why do you always refer to old stories? About 2000 years old! We are now in 2010, just a reminder. Religion has and still does kill more people than anything. And I`m the jackass? Think again..
@ingareinar007 Oh, really? Well I must have been living under a rock. My bad. Yes it is 2010,and as progressive as our society is now what with gay marriage and such,you would think people might be more open minded. It might not be for you,but there are people comfortable with that sort of lifestyle. Love doesn't always fit into a perfect square shaped box with a bow on top. And I'm not going to indulge your ignorance trying to prove to you that religion and religious fanatisism are not the same
Religion has, and IS FUCKING up the world from one side to another..
I am helping people and I am respectful and nice to the ones I meet, and a funny shithead, often clumsy, BUT, I am me! I don`t hide under some Jesuses, Allahs or what ever.. We got eachother, not some "Gods" up there..
@ingareinar007 I agree that there are dirtbags and fakes practicing every religion out there,but you can't just generalize. Everyone has the right to choose their religion and practice it as they wish provided they are not hurting anyone. The problem lies in the fact that if any group,religion,political party,etc. is run by or contains imperfect people there are bound to be problems,inconsistencies,etc.
And unfortunately whether it is intentional or not,people sometimes end up getting hurt.
@Mjena23 First, most religions kicks their belives into small kids, wich in my mind is destructive for the kids own development. One person can may have a religion, bring in the next, and you have politics.
Doesn't look or sound brainwashed, and she probably wrote whatever she's reading from herself - like most people do when speaking in public. Even monogamists. Why are there so many comments about the girls looking or being promiscuous and the guys perverts? To me, they just look like a group of teenagers standing up for their lifestyles. If you don't like polygamy for your life, that's fine, but if women CHOOSE to be in it - who are you to take that choice away?
Of course we did away with the anti-cohabitation laws and the anti sodomy laws, but polygamy remains the scapegoat. Anyway, by the LAW, it it illegal to be legally wed to two people, which is bigamy. To live with two or more women, and have a relationship with them, even calling yourself married, is not a crime - although they make it out to be.
While I am whole-heartedly against polygamy, I am very happy to see a more rounded-out version of people who do practice it... abuse of plural marriage is a huge reality, but it clearly isn't the only reality. I just hope all these girls who spoke truly understand all of their options.
It happens that ladies or men fucks several others, but why marry all of them? Or is it just men who can do so? If ten sexy beauties comes to me, I am ready though..
So one of those boys is going to have sex whit all of this girls? look at them, they are thinking, bring them all to me im hornyyyyyy!!! thats why they like to be mormons (morrons), imagine al religions with that kind of living?. free prostitutes!!!
Why do allways that man hanging on the cross comes up every time anything is discussed? Have you ever tried to tell a story, and heard what happens when you hear the story two days later by someone else? And we are talking about 2000 years++.. Religion my ass!
the are fed there words. its so sick. i feel so sosososos sorry for them. God gave them a free ticket to heaven. he died on there cross for there sins. .... it just breaks my heart
When one is together with a boy or a girlfriend, it is bechause of love. You can`t have that kind of love with several.. To be married or have several mistresses, -That is either bechause youre horny, or want power. And I am non-religious!
I just wonder, how can someone want to share his beloved wife or husbond? If so, why marry at all? -And, if 7 ladies are married to one man, is he the "boss" then?
will, not to be rude, but imo, if something sounds fake, there often is good reason for it. one reason could be that the person who says the things, don't really believe in what he/she says (this could probably explain some of the things said at the GC, you said it sounded rather fake) A other reason, could be that the person is nerveous or somthing like that, that is probably the case with the girl in the video. Just my opinion.
Why is this under mormon, polygamy is not part of the real LDS (mormon) church, these people are a branch off because they didn't like it when polygamy was banned.
@Ed10191990 The "real LDS" was founded by Joseph Smith and then Brigham Young took over, both men being polygamists, and polygamy continued to be practiced openly until it became illegal. After this point some broke away from the church and formed their own groups. But other groups had broken away long before polygamy became illegal for other reasons, some of them remaining polygamous and others choosing to abandon it but not to rejoin with mainstream LDS.
I don't have a problem with this if, most of the time they weren't raping the goverment to raise there children. the average poligamist family takes in $8 in welfare for every 1 dollar of taxes they pay.Thats living your lifestyle on the backs of others. They steal from others to raise there family. God does not want people to steal to provide there for there families. I did't ask you to have more kids than you can support so, I don't want to support them. Stop bleeding the beast.
@Ahwatukee32 If you only choose to only have 2.5 kids(that's two kids and a dog/cat)that is your choice,if other people choose to have six,seven or more that is theirs.What difference does it make that they subscribe to any particular religion?And FYI not all of these groups live on welfare.Many form a sort of utopian "common pot",and redistribute the money/goods,and have communal gardens,farms and such.I do have a problem if they are limiting members access to eduation or medical care though.
this is disgusting.... i bless all polygamists. Their way of life is disgusting and totally degrading to women... and kids.. i wish that this decay of our world will end.
I dislike that people talk about these children as if they are not human. What is the difference between a preson having a child outside of a relationship with aonther person, than people who decide to come together as a family and have children.
Every person on this planet deserves to live their life base on what is true to them. People that abuse any type of relationship shoould be punish.
Grouping all poelygamy families into one basket is being perjudice.
No one without keeping the holy principle of polygamy will enter in the kingdom of GOD ,The so called monogamist society is a bunch of hypocrites, Praised the Man who introduced us to the truth
The fact of the matter is, I don't think God wanted any woman to have to "share" what she loves with anyone. If I were married, I would want to sleep with my husband WHEN I want, all the time, and I would want MY children to get all the attention that they deserve. The ONLY reason any one would praise polygamy , like the girl in this video, is for having a big family. Yes, a big family of mothers and siblings... what about daddy?
This is a tough issue. I understand why most people do not approve of polygamy and I am not a polygamist but I really wonder about the people who criticize polygamy but have been divorced several times. Which is really worse. Kind of hard to say.
I would have loved to grow up in such an environment, far away from the madding crowd spreading false values everywhere ! I guess He's chosen antoher type of life for me; it must be for some reasons. But what reasons ? Hopefully, I'll soon find out !
@GodzillaJ Why, because they are not beating other kids up on youtube videos, texting endlessly, mouthing off to their parents, having drinking parties, and being sexually promiscuous?
Second thoughts, why no marry me and my friend!! We are nice and smmell nice!
