Right. I think a few are fantasizing about more than having two women, but also about those two (or more) women having each other.

TK BURKE it is the beliefs of those in Polygamy that just Jesus ONE BRIDE is made up of many PEOPLE.... that the women in their home constitute ONE BRIDE.. made up of many people..l. but together they collectively form HIS BRIDE
For Example.... a car has MANY PARTS but it is only ONE CAR.....
A Piano has many keys but its ONE PIANO
These men believe their WIFE has many members but together they create THE WIFE

Re: Polygamy in the Bible
I only have one personal experience with a Pentecostal preacher who believed in polygmy. I am not going to say he was UPC because I was 13 or 14 at the time and only met him at a campmeeting and don't know if he was licensed or not.
I have told this story before on FCF or NFCF. I met this nice young 20ish preacher and his wife at a UPC campmeeting. For some reason that I cannot remember I rode with them in their car to some function. On the ride the man started talking about how pretty one of the young women at the camp was. I was shocked because he was saying things like a single guy would that was attracted to a woman and he was doing it right in front of his wife. Even though I was only about 14 I piped up and said something about him being married and being shocked he was talking about this girl like that. He then proceeded to tell me that the bible taught polygmy and he believed it was all right to have multiple wives. I was floored. I had no idea any modern person believed this and especially not a Pentecostal one and more especially not a Pentecostal Preacher!
I wish I had rememberd his name over the years since then. I would love to know what happened to him. I have a feeling he is probably not married to the same woman although she seemed in agreement with him in his belief (or too shy to speak up against it).

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
