[To mountainlion]: Did you really go to school? You should know that the Mormons have not practiced polygamy for over 100 years, and it is an excommunicate-able offense. [Mormon poster Ripliancum]

If you go to this Lds "general authorities chart" General Authorities chart I believe the "Quorum of the Twelve" Lds "apostles" are ranked in the order selected:
After Boyd K. Packer, the next three "apostles" -- Dallin Oaks, L. Tom Perry, and Russell M. Nelson -- all have something in common: "All three men are widowers, and all three men have been 'sealed' to a second wife."
Source:

What is "Celestial Polygamy"? [Mainstream Mormons say polygamy still occurring near Kolobian colony]

Now what does this have to do with Rip's comment?

(1) Oaks, Perry, and Nelson have been sealed to TWO wives in the Mormon temple "for eternity." This means, that since Lds teach that "marriage is forever," this trio of Mormon "apostles" -- with likely other Lds "general authorities" to follow -- will become "eternal polygamists" upon death...well, if you believe Mormon doctrine, that is.

And yet, Rip insists that Mormons aren't practicing polygamy...well I guess the "qualifier" for Rip is: "only on the Kolob colony" -- eh, Rip?

(2) Almost HALF of all Lds leaders in the late 19th century were practicing polygamists...Have they stopped practicing that, Rip?

(3) The mainline Mormons didn't have an Lds "prophet" who wasn't a polygamist until the 1940s!!! (Have they all stopped practicing polygamy, Rip???)

(4) Deceased Lds "apostle" Bruce McConkie, in his raved-about book, Mormon Doctrine, (raved about by Lds Ensign Mag & Lds Church News in McConkie's obit), assured Mormons that polygamy as a "holy practice" would resume when the Mormon jesus returned to earth.

(I guess the Mormon leaders would then have to ex-communicate the Mormon jesus then, eh Rip?)
