Montana polygamist family applied for marriage license

And so it begins.

I’m actually feeling a bit anxious about this one.

Anyone who has followed my comments knows I would go for a second husband.

But really, what WILL the church leadership have to say once polygamy is legalized?

As an aside, my husband still doesn’t know about my FC, but I recently told him that I felt strongly that JS did not practice polygamy. I have searched for any quote or indication either from him or Emma that he married other women. The only accounts are from others years after he was killed. Even years later when Emma was asked about it, she denied his involvement. Couple that with the lack of children from any other untion and my own feelings below and I just really don’t think he was a practicing polygamist on earth. Plus…the way D&C 132 is written..well, it’s clunky and awkward and if examined, few of the early practicing polygamist men even followed the rules set forth.

I once had one of “those” moments where I felt that I “knew” the character of JS. I feel that he was really a man of good character, so it is hard to think that he was also a liar about polygamy.

Anyway, I hesitantly introduced my idea to my husband recently (he’s a concert of almost 20 years) and … He actually said that he never really believed that JS was a polygamist! He echoed my feelings about character and his own conviction. Wow. I was floored. All this time he thought that and never shared it with me. Makes me hopeful that I can one day soon talk about some other FC issues with him.

Okay, sorry for the side note.

But while I don’t really care one way or another about gay marriage, I do see a much, much bigger mess is polygamy is legalized.

Not only will straight people be allowed to be polygamists, but so will gay people … And couples could marry couples, and throw in transgender people and… and the poor children of this rising generation. Imagine the confusion.
