You can try to get me Kelsey Grammar too, if you want. I'm not attracted to him at all, but it would be worth it just to hear him say sexy things to me in his Sideshow Bob voice.

Does United Mormons Women have some historical reference to polygamy?

Yes... yes they are.

I don't know, however, that they are any crazier (on average) than men. If we take this board as a sample, for instance, I tend to think the women are far saner, hands down. At times, it's actually kind of annoying. :D
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

I support equal and fair treatment for all... so that means if the men get the opportunity for multiple partners for eternity, the women do too. God loves all his children, so we should have equal opportunity to be amazingly stupid... and then pass it off as God himself speaking.

Something I've noticed about this forum... where are all the TBM women? It seems that most of the female participants are non-Mormons, ex-Mormons or doubting believers who are more NOM than anything else. (Forgive me if I'm being sloppy with anyone's religious orientation.)

Granted, the TBM pool here is small as it is, and religious discussion forums are male-dominated as a general rule, but the times I've looked in on the forum over the years, it seems like the TBM'ers have always been male.

You're preaching to the choir here, harmony.

I actually have a recent story about that policy along those lines, but I don't want to share it in public. I'll PM you.

Nyal's Harem.

1. Jersey Girl
2. Blixa (maybe SHE should be number one, she dreams about me)
3. Liz (maybe she should be number one, she called me cute)
4. Jack
5. Harmony
6. Beastie (although this could get tricky, since I technically worship her)
7. Kimberly (as long as she doesn't sing in bed. I mean can you imagine this while you are trying to sleep? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDzKpeN7Zuk&translated=1)

All of you will be subordinate to current wife #1 of course and have to move to Norway before the Millennium.

TBM women don't last long, here in the Wild Wild West. Most LDS women who are true believers need a protected environment where they aren't required to think too much, about things that make them feel uncomfortable. This place is uncomfortable for them. We've had a few, over the years... charity, thumper... heck, I think the Wench herself posted here a time or two. But it was too challenging for them. They couldn't survive without their protecting umbrella.

I can give the doctrine, chapter and verse. My problem is, I always want to give my opinion of the doctrine too.. and that's where things become the Gospel According to Harmony.

Liz and I are as TB on the female side as it gets here.

Scary thought! LOL

I think that what Harmony and I have managed to do is to strike a balance. There are policies within the Church that we do not agree with, but we do have a fundamental testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

What is frustrating for me, and I think for her, too, is when Church leaders or Church policies run contrary to Christ's basic gospel principles.

And, since Harm and I are both strong-willed women, we aren't afraid to speak up.

Good luck with that, Nyal...

What. The. Heck.

Is that like Norway's version of "The Wiggles"? Do they even speak English, or are they just singing phonetically?
