Rather than start yet another FLDS thread which everyone is probably sick of anyway, I wanted to ask if anyone else noticed this. You know how it was said on the news that one of the FLDS said they should compare where the children/mothers are being held compared to their homes in the FLDS compound? Well, the one home they did show looked so sterile. No toys, no color in the rooms, etc. Everything was so bland.

The FLDS God said, "Toys are evil." I guess he saw Poltergeist.

Joseph took many more wives than Abraham and Jacob. Joseph also introduced a doctrine that polygamy was required by God for exaltation. This seems very different from the Bible where it seems more like God tolerated a cultural practice rather than commanded it.
I could care less about YOUR patience. Be honest about plural marriage and what it was and was not. The 19th century church leaders taught it was necessary for exaltation and said ONLY those who enter it become Gods. Please show me where the Bible teaches this sense you claim it is the same.
These are very Great and excellent Points, Jason. Thanks for making them here!
