From the article: Former members and I, no longer in the Mormon fold, speculated, “Do you think Joseph Smith and the second president of the Mormon Church, Brigham Young, who had 55 wives, were sex addicts?” Historically, men in positions of leadership, with power and influence, have felt a certain entitlement to, well, more. Many developed an insatiable hunger for power and sex that led to the corruption of their initial ideals. My mother wouldn’t have known what a sex addict was or how to recognize one.

So even this former Mormon recognized the signs of 19th century sex addiction as practiced by Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, and many other Mormon males. This was their "guarantee" of having sex every night. It ruled them inwardly.

""""So even this former Mormon recognized the signs of 19th century sex addiction as practiced by Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, and many other Mormon males. This was their "guarantee" of having sex every night. It ruled them inwardly.""""""

The "Guarantee", as you called it, is right on. That is the only reason they started this practice. They recruited vulnerable young women, poor, without a family to care for them, widowed young, some prostitutes I'm sure, and most of all illiterate.

How anyone would allow anyone to use the brain that G_d gave them, over to such a cult religion. Not allowed to think for themselves.

I thank the Lord that I had the parents I had, dad always told us "G_D gave you a brain, use it.", meaning don't let anyone else do your thinking for you.

Today, there is no excuse for remaining in the Mormon cult, the FACTS are out there, the testimonies of Exmo's, the truths of all the criminal activity and murders done by the LDS. There is no excuse, to remain in it is a deliberate consensual defiance of the one true G_D, and HE will not be mocked, guaranteed.

LDS. come out, you have no freedom if you are not allowed to think and everything is a SECRET.

It is a irrational “religion”.

Their argument basically is that they have to have sex with widows, etc., to care for them. Stupid and irrational. The idea that polygamy doesn’t reduce the dignity and worth of women-—is ridiculous. One=One..... When 4 = 1 the worth of the one is equal to four......hmmmmm Conditioning children of polygamous relationships to believe women have less worth than men.

This concept has taken Christianity thousands of years to destroy. The elevation of Mary as Mother of God was the real beginning of giving worth to women in all the pagan societies where all women were slaves or suffering polygamous societies and cruelly treated like cattle. In poygamous islam—women are still treated like dogs. All history shows those societies encourage incest, pederasty, pedophilia, —all sorts of unnatural destructive lifestyles.
