Does God intend for us to live Polygamy?

“The world is not a perfect place, and yes, every family and every individual, community, country has problems, but to use them to justify the abusive lifestyle you have been taught from birth to believe in, why, it’s just pitiful. Polygamy doesn’t work because male to female birthrates are 50/50 worldwide and there just aren’t enough females to support the lifestyle. Do the math, Baby, numbers don’t lie, if God wanted a man to have multiple wives, don’t you think God would have the intelligence to create 3 or 5 or ten females for every male? God isn’t stupid, honey, so apply some common sense and get on with your life.” -blissiseasy123-  

Justifying Polygamy

First of all I do not use the problems in other people’s lives to justify my lifestyle. I justify my lifestyle choice by

A. We live in America where all men are entitled to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

B. I dare say the life style I live offers more liberty than any other lifestyle in the world and it makes me happy.

C. I feel that my lifestyle is not only a better way of living but also commanded by God.  

Does God intend for us to live Polygamy?

Secondly your right, God isn’t stupid. Which is why he probably didn’t make the mistake of assuming that just because males and females are born at around the same rate then they will procreate equally also. Between lower life expectancy higher death rates higher homosexuality rates and the guys that just don’t want to be married, 31.2% of the male population in the United States never gets married.  

This means that a lot of women, 25.8% of women in the United States to be exact, are just out of luck and out of marriage. Also 9.6% of women are currently widowed?  That’s a whopping 35.4% of American women who are without a husband at any given time. Even if most of those women made a conscious decision not to be married the small percentage of them who want to but cant, allows more than enough women for the few people who actually decide to live polygamy.   

So you see the numbers weren’t lying you just weren’t reading them properly.  As for whether or not God wants man to have multiple wives, we cant just pick up the phone and give God a call to ask him whether we should live plural marriage or not. So its left to each individual person to decide for themselves what they believe is right.  

If you believe that polygamy is not intended by god? Well than don’t live polygamy. Simple as that!  In the same way I believe that God does intend for us to live polygamy so I choose to live it.

Before You Condemn Polygamy, Realize This

by Polly Hammon
Guest Editorial, 3rd March 2005, St. George Spectrum

Before you ask me to give up my lifestyle, show me that yours works. Show me that a monogamist marriage is sacred, that it works for at least a lifetime. Currently, more than 60 percent don’t. Show me children who don’t fret and worry about “if” and “when” their family will be torn apart.

Show me the strength and support of families. Show me homes filled with the wisdom of the aged, not institutions littered with the lonely and the heartbroken, or show me hallways of hospitals lined with family and friends to celebrate glad tidings or to walk with sorrows. Show me places of safety where I can educate my children, not schoolyards of the alienated and the abandoned. Show me children raised in the stability of family, not the sterility of daycare.

Show me heroes made of sterner stuff than what it takes to dunk a basketball or throw a touchdown. Show me the nightly news without a rundown on the latest from a society obsessed with who is cheating on whom or a marriage commitment that is measured in hours.

Show me women who are not yearning after an illusion created by Hollywood – who are not anxious about the natural progression of life, who don’t fear that each change or wrinkle is a marker of possible abandonment. Show me a society so happy with its choices and fulfilled from living those choices that it hasn’t medicated itself for depression and struggles with addiction.

Show me minds honed by principle and hearts enlarged by love. Show me that your society is willing to love more that its own – that children are not referred to as “stepchildren” or “accidents.” Show me children who are loved and nurtured from the moment of conception, instead of 40 million choices of murder.

Show me a society where motherhood is honored and a woman does not have do what it takes to be “picked” by a male more concerned with the façade of her face than the content of her character. Show me a society that does not abandon its daughters to a singles’ ward with the futile admonition of “Be patient and fill your lives with other things.”

Show me a society where religion provides an unalterable standard and Truth is not for sale or bartered for political expediency – where the words and life of the Savior and other wise men are not just glib recitations but the work of a life eager for the changes and growth wrought by their words upon the soul. Show me a religion that appeals to my intellect and provides the answers to the haunting questions of humanity:

Why am I here? Where did I come from? Where am I going?

Show me a society that is willing to allow people the liberties and inalienable rights endowed by our Creator to worship Him at the dictates of our conscience – my conscience sees the works of Fathers Abraham, Jacob, and Moses -rather than a society that commands in the place of our freedoms the Romans’ mandate of monogamy. Contrary to the efforts of some individuals today, neither man nor woman converts a belief at the sword point of compulsion.

Show me these things so that I may worry less about you and that I may know you have some of the joy I’ve known. As for the principles I strive to live by, I love how the living of them invites me to live on a higher plane. If I were to abandon them, how would I greet Mother Sarah or Father Abraham, the Prophet Joseph Smith and countless others? How can I betray my God?

Polygamist Stereotypes

Utah’s Safe Passage grant which sought $900,000 in funding domestic violence outreach to polygamous communities was turned down by the U.S. Justice Department.  Brook Adams has written a very interesting article which makes some excellent points about the stereotypes that have been placed on polygamy. Below is an excerpt from Brooks blog or you can read the entire article here HERE ”Approximately 80 percent live in isolated and remote rural areas. Most have chosen to live as far away as possible from mainstream society because bigamy is a third-degree felony and they worry they will be arrested and their families separated.”

Comment: The majority of fundamentalist Mormons, and thus plural families, live in the Salt Lake Valley.

Legal Polygamy: Utah Law Targets Polygamy

Utah Law states that”The following ordinance shall be irrevocable without the consent of the United States and the people of this State: [Religious toleration -- Polygamy forbidden.] First: — Perfect toleration of religious sentiment is guaranteed. No inhabitant of this State shall ever be molested in person or property on account of his or her mode of religious worship; but polygamous or plural marriages are forever prohibited.”  - Article 3 section - 

So according to Article 3, you can believe whatever you want. And Utah will never prosecute you for your religious beliefs. However being a polygamist and acting upon your beliefs is completely out of the question. Is it just me or does it look like Utah is specifically targeting Polygamy?

It is perfectly useless to tell someone that they can believe however they want but cannot act upon their beliefs.  But claiming to uphold any inhabitant of the states right to religious freedom and then in the same sentence stating that that polygamy is “forever prohibited” is just downright evil.

Penalty for Living Polygamy    

(1) A person is guilty of bigamy when, knowing he has a husband or wife or knowing the other person has a husband or wife, the person purports to marry another person or cohabits with another person.
(2) Bigamy is a felony of the third degree.
(3) It shall be a defense to bigamy that the accused reasonably believed he and the other person were legally eligible to remarry. -76-7-101. Bigamy – Defense-

American Heritage Dictionary defines cohabitation as: To live together in a sexual relationship, especially when not legally married. 

Therefore not only is bigamy illegal and a third degree felony but so is Polygamy, because obviously if you are living polygamy you are cohabiting with other women and therefore a third degree felon.   

Polygamy should be legalOk so we’ve successfully proven that polygamy is in fact illegal. But will Utah and other states act upon this? I think they already are.  Although Mark Shurtleff says that he will not prosecute people for practicing polygamy, I do believe that he is persecuting people for polygamy. And just because he says he won’t prosecute polygamy does not mean that other people wont.  What happens when Utah gets a new attorney general? Or what if he just changes his mind?   

Like a sword hanging from a thread over the heads of Polygamists the threat of imprisonment is ever present. Threatening to cut families apart if ever “the government” was to find out who is living plural marriage.  And so naturally many polygamists withdraw themselves from mainstream society in order to protect the things they hold most dear.  

Then all people hear about polygamy is when the media sensationalizes bad polygamist situations. And so a stigma is placed on polygamy in general, that all polygamists are bad people.  

The laws targeting polygamy are out of date, unfair and unconstitutional.  They are targeting not only a persons rights to practice their religion but also a persons right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness which is guaranteed us by constitution of the United States of America. And they should be done away with.

How Many people have you had sex with?

We dont expect you to understand the reasons for us choosing our way of life, however we do expect you to defend our right to make that choice.

 

 

I find it strange that in today’s culture it is perfectly acceptable for a man to go out courting as many woman as he wants and having any kind of sexual relationship he wishes with as many woman as will allow him to do so.

 

But as soon as that man decides that he wants to marry those women and care and love for them he becomes a felon.

 

Is it just me or is there something wrong with this picture?

 

Do you hate the idea of polygamy because you don’t want to share your husband/wife with someone else?

If so, ask yourself this.

How many people did or will you have sex with before your married?

And how many people did or will your partner have sex with before their married?

I’m sorry to say it but you already shared your spouse with many other people, whether you like it or not.

 

True we choose to marry and live with several wives, but we do it honorably. And that is a choice that you as Americans should be willing to fight to defend.  I know I am.

 

There is more to my religion than polygamy.

 When people think of polygamy they often assume that plural marriage IS the religion and its not. Polygamy is Part of my religion.

It is a very important part of my religion but a part none the less.

 I cant think of a much better way to describe my religion then Joseph Smith did with the articles of faith. The Articles of Faith

1. We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
2. We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam’s transgression.
3. We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
4. We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
5. We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
6. We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
7. We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
8. We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
9. We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
10. We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
11. We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
12. We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
13. We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

-Joseph Smith-Polygamy is commanded by god as part of our religion but is not the sum all of what we believe.     

Jeffs Trial Warren Jeffs has been convicted

Warren Steed Jeffs Convicted

Warren Steed Jeffs has been convicted of being an accomplice to rape for forcing a 14-year-old girl to marry her 19-year-old cousin and is facing possible life in imprisonment.

 Warren Jeffs was her only ticket out

Prosecutors said Warren Steed Jeffs, performed the ceremony and forced Elisa Wall into marriage and sex against her will.

The Jurors said they agreed that Warren Jeffs rejected the girl’s pleas and refused to release her from the marriage. “He was pretty much her only ticket out of the relationship,” said juror Jerry Munk, 36. 

Defense attorney Wally Bugden, who told jurors that Jeffs was a victim of religious persecution, declined to comment. 

A new Juror

Over the last three days the jury has deliberated for about 16 hours but On Tuesday morning, the judge replaced a juror with an alternate for undisclosed reasons.

With a new juror in place the deliberations went quickly. She told the other members of the jury what she thought about the case and talks resumed. Her fellow jurors credited her with raising some new points that helped move the group toward the decision. 

Is it possible that the Judge replaced a juror that was pro Warren Jeffs for a Juror that wanted to convict him in order to tip the scales towards convicting Jeffs? 

Do you think this could be used as another means to appeal the case to the state supreme court?  

Was this trial about religion?

“This trial has not been about religion or vendetta. It was simply about child abuse and preventing abuse,” Elisa Wall said in prepared remarks after the verdict. 

“The easy thing would have been to do nothing, but I have followed my heart and spoken the truth,” she said. 

It seems kind of strange to me that they claim this trial is not about religion and yet in the Jeffs trial,Warren the leader of the religion is being prosecuted, but Steed the man who actually did the raping of Elisa Wall has not been charged with any crime.  

What do you think about this peculiar situation?

Jeffs Trial what is Jane Does real name?

Jeffs Trial what is Jane Does real name?

 

On Friday September 21 Jane Doe the young woman who filed first a civil and later a criminal lawsuit against Warren Steed Jeffs agreed to the publication of her real name. Elisa Wall and has released two pictures of herself.

 

The first picture was taken during a trip to Canada about Seven months before her marriage.

 

The Second picture was taken of her being fit in her wedding dress.

The pictures have been released in order to show people how very young she was when she was married. And they do a good job of that.

Jeffs trial Warren gets help from couples who he married.

Nine FLDS followers testified in court this Wednesday in defense of Warren Jeffs the Prophet of a polygamist group known as the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints. Warren Steed Jeffs is being Charged with Two Counts of rape as an   accomplice by the state of Utah. Two of the people who testified in Defense of Jeffs were Merrill Shapley and Christine Steed Shapley. Christine Steed Shapley was called to the stand to testify on Warren Steed Jeffs behalf

Christine said that when she was 17 she went to her parents and told them that she was ready to be married. After getting their approval, she wrote a letter to Warren Steed Jeffs and ‘turned herself in. This is a typical process for women in the FLDS church. A young womanl goes to her parents when she feels she is ready to be married and asks that her name be turned into the prophet.

In the FLDS church they believe that the prophet receives a divine revelation from God about who they are to place together as a couple.

Some of the women said their parents felt they were not ready and asked them to wait a while. One woman said that she was put off for about six months but eventually, the women said they and either both parents or their father would take her to meet the prophet.

Some of the women testified that Warren Steed Jeffs asked the young ladies if they had received their own impressions about who they thought they should marry. Although Warren does place a higher value a woman being willing to let the prophet make that decision for them.

When Christine went to talk to Warren Steed Jeffs she told him that she had no one in mind.

For a month or two She didn’t hear anything from Warren Jeffs but then the answer came. She was told that she would marry Merril Shapley,

Christine said she did not know Merril was concerned.

”I personally hadn’t heard a lot of good about the Shapleys,” she said.

Christine’s marriage took place about 10 minutes after she learned the identity of her soon-to-be husband.

Women are not always married that quickly other women who testified on behalf of Warren Jeffs said they were married anywhere from days to months later.

Christine said she was taught it was her decision when to being physical intimacy and that she was ‘’strongly taught there was no force.”

All of the people who testified said courting followed marriage and often times that is not a smooth process which is the same case for Christine.

”I didn’t really like him,” she said. ”I wasn’t real impressed. He wasn’t as cute as I thought he should have been.”

When Merrill asked Christine for the first time if she wanted to have a child, she gave a quick answer: ”No.”

Christine explained to the court that ”If you don’t want a child it’s not bad to say no.” There is no rule on how soon you should have children or on how many children you should have.

”I was taught you have as many as you wanted to take care,” Christine said.

For Merrill and Christine It took about four months for them to become comfortable with each other.

And Christine was the one who made the decision. ”I just said I wanted a baby. He said he wanted one, too,” said Christine.

The state then cross-examined Christine, it basically went like this:

”No one told you out of the blue one day you were going to get married, right?”

”No.”

”You turned yourself in, right?”

”Yes.”

And so on.

Merrill shapely then gave his testimony.  Merrill grew up in the twin towns of Colorado City, Arizona and Hildale Utah and works in construction.

When he turned 20 he wrote a letter to Warren Steed Jeffs bringing up the issue of marriage

Soon he got a phone call in which he was told to meet with Warren Jeffs.  A few minutes later he was married.

 One of Jeffs’ attorneys asked Merrill ”Was that OK with you?”

”Yes,” Merril said.

For a while Merrill and Christine lived at Merrill’s father’s home buteventually received a home of their own from the bishop.

Merrill said that he courted her with letters. ”I told her how she was, I thought she was a neat person,” he said. He took his time, so ‘’she weren’t so scared” and tried to ”be nice to her, like you should. I was taught that my whole life.”

After four months, Christine eventually came around.

The state then asked Merrill a couple of questions.
”Did you like her?”

”Yes.”

”Did you think she was pretty?”

”Yes.”

And what did she think of you? The attorney wanted to know.

”She didn’t like me that well.”

”Did she tell you that?”

”No, but I could tell.” She was staying remote”

”You didn’t try to initiate or start any initimate advances with your wife?”

That was right, Merril said.

“What would have happened if you had forced her?” the prosecutor asked.

”I honestly don’t know,” he said, ”but possibly, I’m sure she would have went and lived with her mother.”

A Polygamist Lifestyle

Ruth Talks about what it was like to grow up in a polygamist lifestyle and what its like to be living plural marriage. This is a great example of how a polygamist lifestyle can work excellently. I know Ruth personally; she is like a mother to me and am good friends with her son. And what she says about her polygamist lifestyle is absolutely true. You wont find a more loving family anywhere.

Women wanting to become polygamists

I know for a fact that there are many women who are willing and insistent that they live polygamy. Most of which were probably raised to believe that way. But what about the women who were not taught from childhood that polygamy is a good way of life?

 

I’ve heard stories about women who were not raised in a polygamist community and yet wanted to become polygamists. And I know of and know personally women who were not raised in a polygamist life style and yet they were drawn towards it and are now living plural marriage.

 

Are there women wanting to become polygamists out there, who are not already living in a polygamist community? If so what is it that draws you towards a polygamist lifestyle?

 

Is it because you believe it is a true principle?

Do you believe that a good man is worth sharing?

Are you looking for the support that can be gained by having sister wives?

 

What are your reasons for wanting to become a polygamist? If you have any thoughts or answers please feel free to leave a comment.

Plural marriages work for them.

Here is an interesting article about a family who I know quite well. I think they are an excellent example of what a polygamist family should be like. And an excellent example of how women are not forced to live polygamy.http://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/story?id=1675606

Centennial Park Polygamy

This Article is a pretty good representation of Centennial Park especially from an outsiders point of view.

“What grew in isolation and secrecy now wants a place in the sun.  Polygamy.  News of the twin towns of Colorado City, Ariz., and Hildale, Utah, is about the efforts of law enforcement to dig into allegations of child sexual abuse and other brutalities that offend common decency. It’s not about religion.Getting to the bottom of these allegations is a continuing process that has led to numerous criminal indictments and the first-ever offer of a cash reward by the Arizona Attorney General’s Office for the capture of the polygamous cult’s fugitive “prophet,” Warren Jeffs.

But there is another polygamous community not far from the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Colorado City/Hildale. This other community raises questions its residents say are about religion. And those questions will be far more difficult to answer.” read article here 

Polygamy Should be Decriminalized

The practice of having multiple spouses – illegal for more than a century – is being considered alongside serial monogamy, surrogacy arrangements and same-sex relationships as being among those societal changes “charting new legal territory for family relationships” being examined by a panel probing what it means when the law moves into the bedrooms of the nation.  Read the rest of the article

Are Woman Forced to Live Polygamy?

Are Woman Forced to Live Polygamy?  

No. There is a common misconception that all polygamist women have been brainwashed and forced into polygamist relationships. And if you support this theory I say to you. Clearly you have never met our women. 

15 Questions About Polygamy Answered

Answered Questions on Polygamy

1. What is a normal day in the life of a polygamist?A day in the life of a polygamist is much the same as that of anybody else in the world. You wake up go to work come home go to the movies, work in the yard, check your myspace and emails, play Halo 2 at a friends house or take your dog for a walk. Having more than one mom doesn’t seriously affect my day to day life as much as many would think.  

2. Are you associated to the Mormon church?No I am not. Although people in the Mormon church and I believe in much the same things ( Joseph Smith, Book of Mormon) There are several belief difference that make my religion completely separate from that of the church.  
 3. What makes you believe in Polygamy?

·         I believe that Joseph Smith is a prophet of god

·         I believe that God told Joseph smith that Plural Marriage was a celestial Principle and commanded him to live it.

·         I also believe that God is unchanging and so are his principles (which means that he doesn’t change his mind about what he requires of his people)

·         Which leads me to believe in the 1886 revelation to John Taylor which states that Plural Marriage is an everlasting principle and will always be required of God’s servants.  
 

4. Is Polygamy all about sex?I wish I could answer no to that question. There are undoubtedly sick people out there that probably use Polygamy for sex. However Polygamy the way it is intended to be lived is as far from a sex acquisition tool as a nuclear war head.  
 

5. What are feeling on Warren Jeffs?Warren Jeffs is an evil man who Gained power over the FLDS church and used that power to further his own wants and pleasures. He twisted and warped what was once a good (even if not all true) religious belief into a cult. And in doing so he Stole millions of Dollars, destroyed numerous families and ruined countless lives.    
 

6. Do you have any encounters with Colorado City?I live in a small Town called Centennial Park which is located less than a mile south of Colorado City AZ and Hildale UT. I lived in Colorado City for a time and went to the public school there for several years. I know many people who live there and go there on almost a daily basis. However I am not part of the infamous FLDS church. I am part of a less known and much smaller Polygamist organization.
 

7. Did you grow up in a polygamist family?No I did not. I was born in Cancun Mexico I moved to centennial Park with My Parents when I was 10. My parents then split up and got remarried. However for the protection of my parents I will not tell you which live in a plural marriage. 
 

8. Do you think everyone should do Polygamy?Absolutely Not It takes a great amount of dedication to make a polygamous relationship work. Most people don’t have what it takes, even some who believe the same religion, (believing in the religion does not require that you live polygamy) can choose not to. And I most certainly don’t think that anyone should live polygamy that does not do it for the right reasons. Because Its people like that who give Polygamy a bad name. 
 

9. Are Polygamists Christians?Not necessarily. Many religions believe in polygamy not just fundamentalist Mormons.
 

10. How would you recommend the government change marriage laws?I like Chris Weigant’s idea of how the Government should view marriage. “I personally think the term “marriage” should be reserved for religion — each religious faith can decide however they want to define the term for themselves — and people should only be able to get a “civil union” from the government. The term “marriage” should be banned from any official government documents, and “civil union” replaced instead. A civil union should be all about financial ties. People entering into a civil union should be treated like a corporate merger — the civil union would spell out exactly what the financial consequences were, and no more.”
 

11. If the government allows plural marriage should they allow gay marriage?I strongly believe that being Gay is wrong, however I also believe in the fundamental principle that human beings have the right to choose the way they want to live their lives.  So yes I believe that gays should also be able to get married.
 

12. Are you persecuted for your beliefs?For the most part no. the most I’ve ever been persecuted because of my beliefs was when I played on my high school basketball team. The Students at the other schools were always really hostile and there were several times that fights almost broke out. Not just with our players but also with our fans.
 

13. What is your take on HBO’s show Big Love?I have never watched it but from what I’ve heard of big love, it sounds very interesting. Not only to see they way they portray plural marriage but also because many of the plots and story lines closely resemble real stories from real polygamists and polygamist groups. For Example the Green Brothers in Big Love seem strangely like the LeBaron Brothers Ervil and Joel LeBaron who were the leaders of a polygamist organization from Mexico. Ervil LeBaron was the mastermind behind the murder of a man name Rullen Allred. Which is shockingly familiar to the shooting of  Roman in big love. Also in Big love Romans Polygamist group is called the U.E.B. ( United Effort Brotherhood) which is shockingly close to the real organization formerly ran by warren jeffs call the U.E.P ( United Effort Plan)   
 

14. How does dating work in a Polygamist group?I don’t know how it is looked at in other Polygamist groups but in mine it is frowned upon but not prohibited.  
 

15. How do children interact with more than one mother?As in monogamist families, polygamist families are all ran a little different. However I interact with my other mothers like I interact with a step mom or an aunt. I respect them, do what they say and love them but its still a different relationship than what I have with my “birth mother”.

This is the first official MeandPolygamy post I don’t yet have anything interesting or extraordinary to share with you, but be assured that when I do you will know about it.
