"the church is trying to tie G-d's hands on the matter. It doesn't matter what He wants. Sad, really..."


Not so. For the LDS faithful, God has made a proclamation on polygamy. Thus the church no longer condones or endorses polygamy in any form. Those that do are ex-communicated and are not allowed fellowship with the church any longer.

As for them trying to secretly bring it back, what nonsence.

And which select individual did God make this 'proclamation' to?

I'm sure God didn't say beans on the matter; the head cult leaders just didn't want the feds busting up their organization .

didn't Joseph Smith 'marry' some pre-teens like mohammed?

What part of honoring and obeying the laws of the land is stumping you? It’s part of our beliefs as outlined by Joseph Smith.

The proclamation by the church was stating that we would abide by the Law, not declaring it just. (http://scriptures.lds.org/od/1 )

“Inasmuch as laws have been enacted by Congress forbidding plural marriages, which laws have been pronounced constitutional by the court of last resort, I hereby declare my intention to submit to those laws, and to use my influence with the members of the Church over which I preside to have them do likewise.”

And no this does not mean we are trying to “Bring it back”.

That was showme_the_Glory suggesting such a thing, not me. The church is doing everything possible to make sure polygamy is never legal.
