By the way, I guess you would feel fine saying that "before 2012 there was no polygamy practiced in the LDS church". Get it? It's the thing about death in the worlds again LOL
"BCSpace" doing violence to the English language online in the service of apologetics since 2002.
BC is just demonstrating the mentality that early members of the church used to deny they were practicing polygamy. They're just following in the footsteps of their revered prophet Joseph.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.
By any chance did you attend the Romney family reunion in northern Mexico sometime in the mid-to-late 80's? I was only 9 or 10 at the time but I remember how many people were there..... the Romney family is HUGE thanks to polygamy.
