What about people who are in some kind of wierd situation like polyamory. Living as if they are all married, but hiding it from society because of the stigma....Sort of makes me feel sick...

Dora, if I did not know better I would think you are asking about your own "situation"! :ursofunny

I do know our missionaries wrestle with this question on foreign soil.

If there hasn't already, there's going to come a point when people on US soil need to address this. While still considered out there even by the alternative crowd, it's gaining popularity.

Polygamy today

Forget multiple wives. It's the multiple sets of in-laws!

Because it is in certain circles.

Why, would require a philosophy degree to get into. lol

It's seriously not as uncommon as y'all might think.

The redefinition of "marriage" to includes same sex, groups of people and even animals.

Now, animals are still *way* out there..... I won't say it doesn't happen, or won't someday gain popularity, but that one's not considered kosher even in the most alternative of circles.

The rest, same sex and groups though, yes...

Re: Polygamy in the Bible

When I saw all the stuff going on with the Mormon polygamists, I googled information about the effects of polygamy on women and children to see whether or not it was detrimental emotionally, mentally, physically due to abuse, etc.

Couldn't find much about the negative effects.

Found lots of Pro-polygamy stuff.

There is a book written by a woman who escaped from an abusive polygamist sect where the prophet set his eyes on her and made her leave her husband in order to marry him. I'll look it up again. Sad situation.
