If a man wants to marry two Mormon women and get nagged by both (images of the Star Trek episode "I Mudd" where Harry is left in the end with hundreds of replicas of his cold wife to condemn him for the rest of his days) then so what? If a woman is into sharing her husband then so what?


Then gays should be allowed to marry. And women should be allowed to have multiple husbands.

Fair is fair.

So looking at the blue and yellow colors in the background would you speculate that God is Swedish or Ukrainian?


He is Ukrainian it's shown on the Ukrainian flag.

Well then Jacob 2:30 would apply... but I haven't read that thread yet, so you'll have to wait for my response =P.

But yes, when the Lord does not command it, polygamy is an abomination. But when he does command it, it is not.

When did God retract polygamy from the earth? Obviously the Jews that followed the Mosaic Law could practice polygamy until, well...some in places like Yemen still practice it. Are these Jews committing an abomination?

Was Mohammed committing an abomination by having multiple wives? If so, are the Muslims who practice polygamy today abominable?

The practice of polygamy has been put on hold by the manifesto (Wilfred's not Karl's) but is not considered an abomination.

Hello,

Well, I have to hand it to you. At least you haven't completely lost it after a good mocking.

I guess I'm in Harmony's camp. I don't understand why ANY conjugal arrangement would be inappropriate if polygamy is considered kosher (<-catch that?).

It's important to understand the reason for polygamy in the celestial kingdom to understand why other relationships are not allowed. You can look at some of my previous posts in this topic if you would like... they describe the matter.

So.

Ah.

A faithful Mormon male gets to “F” endless numbers of females for eternity?

Nope. Not the purpose. Guess again. The purpose has little to do with sex, and much to do with service and justice. Read it again.

This is why people get assed out with Mormons. They always lie.

Look.

Faithful Mormon Males get to have a lot of women, get to “F” them for eternity, and that makes them a God or Creator or Whatever.

TAO. Let's get to brass tacks. What's the point of polygamy... You know... For eternity.

No actually, you misread my statement. I asked what was the purpose of polygamy.

You seem to have confused purpose and part of the process. The purpose is far more important, since the purpose determines the correct tone for the description. Your tone for a description does not match the purpose.
