The Facts on Mormons - No "Mormon Polygamy" - Part 1

Mormon leader Quentin L. Cook responds to media using the phrase "Mormon polygamy". Those practicing polygamy are not Mormon. Any member that is found to be practicing polygamy is excommunicated from the Church--the most serious consequence that the Church can impose.

"Mormon Polygamy" is simply an incorrect phrase--those practicing polygamy are not Mormons.

The title of this cracks me up...

I guess Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, and countless other historical figures weren't Mormons. Darn it.

It seems like a "bit of a hustle", to assign that Capn Cook guy to be the official spokesperson, on this topic: instead of the usual Mahlon Jenson kind of spokesman. Cook "artfully crafts" his bit of weaving, into that wondrous PR tapestry (and image), that all morms have learned to love!

And, I had thought that Paul H. Dunn was the best G.A., at the loom: spinning lovely mormon yarn!

I will now have to revise my ranking of those in the "Who's Who, of Pious Mormon Pomp"!

But, it is true that "polygyny" and "polyandry" are both included, in the definition of POLYGAMY. So, all you are saying, with the word "polygyny" is that you exclude any relationship based on "multiple men, for every woman", (which is how polyandry is defined).

NOTE: When I learned the difference, I equated polygyny with " many Ginnys" (or, Jenny) and polyandry with many guys named "Andy".

"Monogamy" is the pairing up of one man with one woman.

R U a weed-whacked Hippie, boy?

Spiritual polygamy still thrives in the Mormon church! Read Doctrine and Covenants Section 132 which is currently part of Mormon Inc.'s official doctrine.

[jeannabrewer]

So D&C 132 only applies to the next life? That is IF you obtain godhood?

Director of Public Affairs for the Queensland Church of Latter Day Saints, Grant Pitman, said the Mormon religion was one of the fastest growing faiths in Australia.

“The likes of Folau and Setu have seen the profile of Mormons raise, but the faith is growing very fast here anyway,” he said.

[CainOTrump]

I agree. I use to think that Mormons were Polygamists because growing up, that is what I herd. I am Poly though not Gamy, and try to understand all Poly relationships and backgrounds. I do try to clarify the difference for when I say I am Poly, people automatically assume I am Mormon or a swinger. In that aspect, I can relate. Just don't hate us because we don't believe the way you do and there are way more Polygynists then you claim...

He often invents trivia games to help the students remember verses and said that everyone in class laughs and learns from the instructional videos he uses. "All of the videos were made in the 1980s. We'll gather around my laptop and laugh about the '80s hairdos and cheesy special effects. They [the students] might not remember something I say, but they'll remember it from the video," he said.
