I only caught some of it - they looked pretty normal and the wives were all pretty. I think I heard he had 20 something children. How can they afford all those kids? Dr. Phil is taking on FLDS next 2 days so making sure I record that. How soon do you think it is going to take before polygamy is legalized in U.S?

I would love to see TSCC squirm around THAT one! ........."It's the new and everlasting covenant!"......... "It's against the law? We'll leave the States and go to to Utah! Besides, it was rare and we did it to help the widows and orphans!"............ "We can be a state if we drop polygamy? Uh, OK, God says sorry I was kidding."........ "Those FLDS people are NOT mormons--what they do is descipable!"........... "It's legal? Oh, uh, we, uh....never mind...uhhhh.....Family: Isn't it About Time!?"

Seriously I bet if it was legalized the church would suddenly change it's position. Could you imagine? I hope they do because I'm sure many people would leave the church....well I hope they would.

It is harmful to everyone concerned -- male, female and child, not to mention society in general.

I agree w/Rebeckah. I hope it never is.

There are practical, legal, medical, health and ethical reasons why polygamy has never been legal in the US.

There are countries where it is now legal. If someone wants to practice polygamy, I say they need to go wherever that is---not try to force it into everyone's face, or try to make it legal here.

Most mormons are attractive and normal looking but are brainwashed and have the serious recovery issues we read about here every day.

Polygamists have every one of those problems and others in the extreme!


I still know and I'm related by blood to many present day mormon polygamists and grew up on a compound seeing all of this upfront and personal.
