Mormon Polygamy

 


As you probably know, Polygamy was practically invented* by the Mormon Prophet,
seer and revelator, Joseph Smith.
Though officially illegal, it is still practiced by Mormons in Utah and in Other states.

Many LDS men prepare for polygamy by being "sealed" to more than one woman.

 "...If any man espouse a virgin, and desire to espouse another, and the first give her consent, and if he espouse the second, and they are virgins, and have vowed to no other man, then is he justified; he cannot commit adultery... And if he have ten virgins given unto him by this law, he cannot commit adultery... therefore is he justified."        -Joseph Smith
Doctrine and Covenants (# 61-62)

Utah schools have one of the lowest ratios of teacher to child.
Utah has the highest per capita sugar consumption in the US.
Utah has the highest incidence of Child abuse in the US. 
In some polygamist towns up to one third of the families get welfare from taxpayer money.

GIVING IT UP --

"To comply with the request of our enemies, would be to give up all hope
of ever entering into the glory of God, the Father, and Jesus Christ, the son.
So intently interwoven is this precious doctrine with the exaltation of men
and women in the great hereafter that it cannot be given up without giving
up at the same time all hope of immortal glory."

- George Q. Cannon, counselor of the Mormon First Presidency, 1885.


 

 "...Every part of the body of a non-Moslem individual is impure.
 The sperm of any animal whose blood spurts when its throat is cut is impure.  If a man sodomizes the son, brother, or father of his wife after their marriage, the marriage remains valid."
 
-- Sayings of Ayatollah Khomeini
