Premarital sex is a-okay, per general authorities

The OP didn't present any evidence of that nor has any been presented since. Feel free to read my previous post more carefully to see why that is the case.

"plan whereby men and women can live together under sacred ordinances and vows until they can be married"

Since there is no doctrine on the matter, we are free to speculate.

That is correct. But you are not free to ascribe doctrine to the Church that doesn't exist.

BC just admitted that the LDS is not a church because it has no consistently established doctrine. Therefore it is only a business. Way to go, BC!!! I knew you were making progress!!!

D&C 132 established concubinage.

Where? It only mentions the acceptable ancient practice.

There was no manifesto ever rescinding it

There was no revelation or doctrine restoring it.

How so?

39 aDavid’s wives and concubines were bgiven unto him of me, by the hand of Nathan, my servant, and others of the prophets who had the ckeys of this power; and in none of these things did he dsin against me save in the case of eUriah and his wife; and, therefore he hath ffallen from his exaltation, and received his portion; and he shall not inherit them out of the world, for I ggave them unto another, saith the Lord.

40 I am the Lord thy God, and I gave unto thee, my servant Joseph, an aappointment, and restore all things. Ask what ye will, and it shall be given unto you according to my word.

Since the Church has no official position on anything, we can speculate about everything.

I just think it is wonderful that God approves of sexual slavery. Go God!!!

The problem is presentism. Today it seems bad to be a concubine, but that's because of the feminists. Feminists have made being a concubine a bad thing. Back in the good old days, women loved being concubines.
