I'll preface this with I am not a mormon,

But I have recently moved to SLC, and polygamy is no longer practiced by the LDS. The LDS are actually harmless, much like any other religious sect. They are nice people, who are extremely ethical and moral.

The only reason polygamy was ever practiced is because of the amount of loss the mormons took on their journey across country. A large percentage of the men were killed by indian attacks and there were a ton of women and not many men. The solution at the time was polygamy.

Stop being an ignorant fuck... you are what is wrong with the world. Because people aren't like you doens't make them bad.

The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS Church)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamentalist_Church_of_Jesus_Christ_of_Latter_Day_Saints





as with any religion there are bad apples, so you cant make a judgment  about a religion based solely  on one radical group.

note, im not a Mormon

America?

polygamists should be able to do what they want...as long as they give everyone a free choice to be there or not, and not brain wash the young

but that probably won't happen so it stays illegal

in towns where polygamy is practiced the older men take all the young girls for themselves, and have the younger men exiled.

girls as young as 12 are fucked by 50 year old men.

read under the banner of heaven.

fuck mormons.  mainly because they try to convert people all the time.  i do my laundry at a laundromat on the mexican side of town, and they hang out there and try to convert people.  thats real nice, praying on the poor and ignorant.  real classy

for the record I am quaker.  the mormon church (not necessarily mormons) is so fucked up.

And the Jury says:

Wrong.

Polygamy was one of the main tenants of the original Mormon religion taught by Joseph Smith. The only reason the LDS renounced its connection to Polygamy was because of the martyrdom and persecution of their faith, and because they wanted to achieve statehood. You could call the FLDS the only 'true' mormons around anymore, but they have warped the idea of multiple marriage into a rape and beatfest for 12 year old girls. The original idea was multiple wives, not masochism and rape.

ignorant much?   it's really not difficult to understand that the FLDS and the LDS are different.  and NO polygamists should NOT be able to do what they want if it includes old creepsters marrying 13 year old girls and consummating them in their temples in front of other people.  a 13 year old cannot make the decision to be married.

not too hard to understand the two are not the same religion. Any member of the FLDS church that was a mormon has been excommunicated. In no way does the LDS church teach polygamy they used to but not anymore, and yes it did have something to do with the fact that a majority of the men were killed on the trek to Utah. They quit the practice of polygamy over 100 years ago
