Mormons & Polygamy

We watched a very interesting and factual DVD last night, called, "Lifting the Veil of Polygamy" So many times I've heard, "Mormons don't believe in polygamy anymore..." Well, this DVD will help you to know what they REALLY believe. You can actually watch it for free, online.... I really don't know how anyone who isn't a Mormon, could vote for Mitt Romney after watching this DVD.

Do you all know of anyone who left Mormonism?

When I get a chance, I will first need to watch this before voting, which may need to wait until I am where I can watch it on high speed internet.

Tammy,
Thank you very much for the link. I just finished watching it, and found it indeed very enlightening. It helped me to finally understand the question of polygamy among the mormons. Thanks again.
Rosangela.

Why is polygamy a litmus test? It is a joke to hear Adventist rail against polygamy when the church officially promotes serial polygamy. Dissolution of a marriage by a human court does not dissolve the union.

Dissolution of a marriage by a human court does not dissolve the union. True. It is the parallel polygamy that irks many, but God has higher standards.

There is no excuse for any one in taking the position that there is no more truth to be revealed, and that all our expositions of Scripture are without an error. The fact that certain doctrines have been held as truth for many years by our people, is not a proof that our ideas are infallible. Age will not make error into truth, and truth can afford to be fair. No true doctrine will lose anything by close investigation. RH 12/20/1892

At the same time I recall the passing of an Adventist minister and how it was his Mormon neighbor who organized the neighborhood to provide support for his widow, making sure meals were provided, etc., while the SDA church membership could scarcely be found.

Darius, have you watched the video? What striked me the most was the suffering this practice brought to the members of this church. The video was about sincere people who loved God and wished to serve Him, but who couldn't reconcile a loving God with polygamy.

I watched the entire video. The problem is not polygamy but the way it was practiced among Mormons. The film erred in suggesting that polygamy was developed by Smith. Most of the biblical patriarchs were polygamists. From an objective standpoint I was struck at the indoctrination of children that goes on in religious communities, including our own.
