People forget that the Bible speaks against polygamy. It is written: "no man can serve two masters"




That's not referring to polygamy but worshipping worldly things vs God.


For example, you cannot love money and God equally. You cannot love sex and God equally.

No wives, just concubines. Concubines worked for Solomon.

There's the Warren Jeffs model that was mentioned before of welfare fraud for legally single mothers.



So in this model, the man does have one legally married wife? And the other wives are only recognized in their church?

Literally couldn't imagine having more than one wife. I mean why would you want to do that?

Pretty much, or even none- the Jeffs model also involves creating your own city to defraud the government out of school dollars, diddling your own children, etc. Its not exactly the model that the Mormons want to talk about.

They're just going to be sponges? I could support several, but wouldn't. They have to contribute to the pot. One is the homemaker the rest have to produce.

But, can you imagine the pain of 2-5 wives?

You’d have to be mentally imbalanced to want multiple wives
