Gingrich tried to pull a Joseph Smith on his wife

From the article

In her most provocative comments, the ex-Mrs. Gingrich said Newt sought an "open marriage" arrangement so he could have a mistress and a wife.

She said when Gingrich admitted to a six-year affair with a Congressional aide, he asked her if she would share him with the other woman, Callista, who is now married to Gingrich.

"And I just stared at him and he said, 'Callista doesn't care what I do,'" Marianne Gingrich told ABC News. "He wanted an open marriage and I refused."


Silly Gingrich. If he was in tune with the spirit he would know that the wife will only do it if you say god commanded it.

Problem is is you misrepresent the truth when it concerns Joseph Smith.....
But, I know, the anti-mormon mind, it's EASY for you to believe Joseph was a pervert, rather than knowing the actual and whole truth.

I was talking to an FLDS member the other day, and he said the exact same thing as you, except change Joseph Smith to Warren Jeffs.

That's why they are anti. Their minds haven't risen above a certain level of prurience. They fear higher and more complex thoughts will deprive them of attaining sexual pleasure and so they project the same onto others.

Hopefully, 37% of EVs in SC are in tune with the Spirit and will abandon Gingrich.

Joseph wasn't a pervert. Neither is Newt. What they were/are is adulterers.

Only a person who values the marriage vows knows the difference.

Yes, we know, we know. God commanded Joseph Smith to fake-marry and have sex with all these dozens of women behind Emma's back, and even sent an angel with a sword to threaten his life if he hesitated any longer in implementing the Lord's will.

Because, you know, Joseph was so virtuous that it took this kind of threat to get him to be willing to have sex with dozens of women other than his legal wife.

I've heard Joseph was known for his honesty.
