Now that I think about it, I remember a particular hateful attack I received by MS on the FAIR board.
I don't think I ever replied to her cause I had the feeling there was something going on... I didn't want to further any issues she may have had.
Glad to know she is doing better Mok,

When I was still trying to believe, I held very similar views as Juliann; I tried to convince myself that polygamy was not actually doctrine. Personally, I was just trying really hard to remain believing rather than look objectively at what the church teaches, what leaders have stated, and what is as close to official doctrine as one can get in this very confusing church.
I no longer believe one can seriously argue that the church doesn't believe in, embrace, celebrate, and hold as doctrine, polygamy. And yes, MAD is a platform form LDS polygamy.
As much as the church is trying to distance itself from polygamy, I am surprised a church representative hasn't come out and asked for apologists to stop celebrating it. Seems to me church leaders are doing everything they can to move away from this practice while apologists are trying to make sure everyone knows it is official LDS doctrine and they will all be living it someday. Weird.

The Corporate LDS Church is one of the most anti polygamy groups out there at least for mortal polygamy. And it wishes it would all go away.
