I would ask them - are you more:

a. repulsed by the sexual behaviors of JS
b. in awe of his sexual prowess

Where do you think honest numbers would come in on that one?

got into a discussion about polygamy. He said, "polygamy is just wrong and crazy". We never went to church again. Sometimes my husband drives me crazy, but he is definitely one of the good guys.

We were having a lesson in RS once about the pioneers. Several people got a slip of paper to read during the lesson. The paper was something that they would be asked to sacrifice to set up the "kingdom of zion." One woman, who I always thought was a stone cold bitch and a complete nag, stood up to read hers. It was something like the lord commands your husband to take another wife. She started crying so hard she couldn't even finish it. (She is still TBM BTW)

Men seem to be aware that polygamy is required to get into the Celestial Kingdom and the women of the church seem to be less aware of that issue. (I secretly wonder if it's intentional.)

However, I'd say that the percentage of men who are type A or type B would be dependent on the type of men in the room. That being said, the church does tend to attract quite patriarchal men, so...

I'd be interested to see what the true results were if a questionnaire was ever to be successfully passed around.

Can you point me in the direction of where it states Polygamy is required to gain the Celestial Kingdom?

Thanks

I haven't set foot in a cult building of any kind in more than 35 years so I can't really say what's taught in priesthood meetings these days. Back in my day, however, the cult taught some fairly wierd s**t in said meetings. The women weren't privy to the info back then and still aren't now which ought to tell you something.

Just sayin'

Behaviors 0
Prowess 0

Final in OT

No relevant points for either.

Even I can schtup better than ol' Joe. There woulda been no complainin' from all them wimmin if I'da been the profit. This is due to the fact that women didn't discover orgasms in American until 1972. Look it up. :D

Oh, by the way, I'm also full of shit. :)

Just sayin'...

But, forcing young women to have sex with him on pang of death and damnation isn't quite "prowess."

If they had all swooned over him and said, "Joseph, you must marry ALL OF US! We think you are too awesome not to share with each other," then maybe I'd give him more credit.

I would be summarily excommunicated from the church, but if Monson did it, they'd write a song about it.
