Per the OP, nowhere do these 19th century GA's support any form of sexual activity outside of marriage. Cannon's quip has clear relation to Temple marriage, and any plural relationships preceding this would have to be civil marriages recognized as such, until such time as eternal sealings could take place.
Bluffalo is, as usual, bluffing.

Nothing is going to startle us more when we pass through the veil to the other side than to realize how well we know our Father [in Heaven] and how familiar his face is to us

when believers want to give their claims more weight, they dress these claims up in scientific terms. When believers want to belittle atheism or secular humanism, they call it a "religion". -Beastie

I've often wondered whether Joseph's relationship with Fanny Alger was more along the line of a concubine rather than a marriage. There was certainly precedent for it in the Old Testament. Fanny was a servant in the house and so of a lesser status, just as Hagar was.

As usual, Droopy is lying. They clearly supported premarital sex in committed relationships. Which is good news for most of the people in your Boormanian hovel.

Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you my servant Joseph, that inasmuch as you have inquired of my hand to know and understand wherein I, the Lord, justified my servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as also Moses, David and Solomon, my servants, as touching the principle and doctrine of their having many wives and concubines—
Sure. But as I asked previously, where is the revelation, doctrine, and practice of "concubinage" specifically? Rules for marriage were indeed given.....
It also seems to go hand in hand with plural marriage (wives and concubines). With plural marriage not authorized, where is the authorization on concubines which some of you are so expectant for?

Cited in the quoted post. Thanks for playing.
