As LDS many of us too are as concern about this latest ruling from the courts.

In the last couple of days in the NYC news all kinds of mini havoc is breaking out!

White power left in the subway car looking like Amtacks and tell the MTA to go to hell.

A plane crashes close to a refinery in NJ

20 fires have been started when folks are asleep in Wash. D,C, it seem the house is laced with gas and than set a frie so far none have lost their life!

It is sad the nation is losing because of the enemy with in.

Many people here believe that childrena and animals can give legal consent. Strange!

On the polygamy thing, I get dibs on Charley's Angels.

Look for Muslims to bring a case to court, arguing that laws against polygamy unduly constrict their religious rights

He says the ruling effectively voided every anti-polygamy law on the books, assuring that "whatever consenting adults choose to do" is permissible.

"He" is an idiot. I will let you know when the legal elites decide polygamy has cachet. It is simply wonderful the power "we" now have (before it was simply great, now it is close to omnipotently omnipresent). It is great to be an American, but greater still to be an elite legal community member American, who has had his taxes slashed. It has been an absolutely splendid year so far.

Oh yes, happy 4th to you and your cherished wife, and no doubt robust grandkids, as well.

No, it wasn't the Kingston family in Utah. I remember the TV stories about them.

The guy I was thinking of wasn't part of a large, Kingston type, famiily. He had a job, everyone lived together in the same house, but he WAS getting some government assistance. He's serving prison time right now for bigamy.

The point is that in the TV interviews all the wives were adults and none were forced into marriage. They volunteered. So, given the high courts ruling about privacy I wondered how that ruling would effect consensual polygamy especially in Utah.

Polygamy was part of the Mormon faith, and if marriage is redefined then I'd expect the Mormons to reintroduce polygamy to their faith.

I think not. Mormanism has shed a lot over the years that it is not ever going back to. JMO.

LOL!

So I guess this means I can have more than one husband?

You know, one who can cook, one who can fix stuff, one who's a "hottie" and looks good in a speedo.......

The possibilities are endless!

No matter what kind of laws the world authories those who follow Jesus Christ obey/listen to the Lord.

Ha!

If their 'Living Prophet' gets a 'word' and the rest of the yesmen ok it, by golly, it has thundered from Heaven, and the rank&file better fall in line, or else Headquarters will say you are NOT Mormon (Oops: LDS).
(That's what they claim about the Mormon fundies, anyway)

AFTER Headquarters speaks, of course..............


If you get a conflicting, heartwarming 'message', what's a girl to do???
Just look at how hard it was for poor ol' Emma to take the FIRST 'revelation' of polygamy!!!

[And, it's SCRIPTURE!!!]

I really don't see how, if there's a constitutional right for a man to stick his penis in another man's anus, there can not be a right to polygamy as well, as long as its private and consensual. Nor prostitution. In fact, I don't see how the state can interfere with me if I want to privately grow pot in my bedroom.
