Which is why we know Sec 132 is bogus.

I don't get it. Why would any man want two, three, four or more wives?

"Don't expect me to pick up your old underwear just because you've thrown it on the floor"...X's 4 ?!! "You've left the lights on in the garage...again!!!".....Times 4 ?!!!!!! "You don't hold me or squeeze me or kiss me at any time during the day, then you expect loving attention when we jump into bed?" 10 times 4 times forever?????

I don't get it. I'd rather share my wife, polyandry. Hell, us guys could drink beer together, go to a hockey game together, (even better if we cheer for different teams). Working on the car would be downright fun.

Less yard work, dishes only once a week, bills would be split four ways.

All we'd need is more storage space and a bigger garage. Count me in!

Joseph didn't actually have to live with them. He just used them for sex.

He used them, he used their families, he used Emma, he used his friends. He used everyone. He tripped and fell over Fanny, and spent the rest of his life sliding downward.

It's funny how Josephs revelations from God were so self-serving. God sure did want Joseph to have lots and lots of sex, not to mention money and property.

God had nothing to do with it.

Or anything else, for that matter.

Go a step further and the exact scenario still applies to the whole "restoration" claimed by Joseph Smith..."God had nothing to do with it".

Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
