Hello All,
It's been awhile - I still recognize some names though. I hope all is well with everyone.
Last week in Eldorado, TX, authorities raided a polygamist compound run by Fundamentalist Church of Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The man running the compound is called Prophet Warren Jeffs. He has been sentenced 5 years to life because he has married young girls (as young as 14 years) to their first cousins and old men.
Now, I understand that state laws have certain age limitations for marriage and sex and that a man can only have one legal wife at a time, but there were alot of negative comments about this polygamist sect, as if it is a sickness. I say this to say that although not every man does it, but most men will have a wife and a woman on the side and maybe 2 others that he entertains or allow to entertain him. If all the women are satisfied with sharing this one man, then why does everyone else have a problem with it? I personally don't care to share my personal space with another woman, but I don't knock a woman who is okay with sharing her man. And I'll also add that I think it funny that a man would use the bible to endorse his right to have more than one wife, yet does not have the resources to provide for these wives and the children that come out of it.
