With the USA in an economic free fall, and a declining prospect for the future if you don't want to work in porn or for the US military, polygamy might make perfect sense from both the man and woman's point of view:

Re: Polygamy in the Islamic world
And of course it is the number that makes it inferior, not the basic nature itself. Got it.
harmony is also humorless.
Unless, of course, the Islamic God is the true God, in which case, Mormons are toast.
I'll take quite a few with me when I go.

Re: Polygamy in the Islamic world
Let's try this again.
Which command of God are Islamic polygamists breaking?

How inconvenient that the Mormon God changed his mind. It leaves out so many Islamic converts.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

The scriptural example is from time to time so no evidence of God changing His mind on this issue.

It's interesting how this is viewed differently by insiders and outsiders of the belief.
To the insider, God doesn't change. He follows a set plan that was written up ages ago. "Hmmm, let see, I will let polygamy be a good thing from years 4000-800 BC then stop then start up again from about 1830-1890. Yeah, that's the ticket."

I'm a little lost on that. You might have to explain to an old Nevermo what that means.

Re: Polygamy in the Islamic world
So, plural marriage cannot be practiced by Mormons in countries where is it is legal (and has been legal for centuries), because the LDS Church shut it down, in America, admittedly as a response to cultural pressures and prohibitive law. Yet, polygamy is still an eternal doctrine (see: LDS sealing ordinances and practice). If the church is a world-wide religion, why would it not allow polygamy to be practiced in locations where it is legally and culturally accepted?
