Flds vs winston blackmore9/13/2023 ![]() ![]() After one or more of their employees left the community, they closed almost immediately. For the grocery story it was food stamp fraud. IMO they did it because they were doing illegal things. Those businesses that closed, then reopened, closed again. It's all in there, just choose one verse and ignore ten others.Įdited 2 time(s). You can justify any silly or serious behavior using scripture. All unique to Mormonism, the Abraham excuse is not the doctrinal origin, it was post coitus whitewashing by Joseph Smith to Emma and friends. (Joseph Smith, First Vision, Book of Mormon, restored priesthood, and living prophet). People can talk about indigenous peoples, communes, amd other very, very small and non-influential groups-the truth is polygamy in the United States is Mormon owned, manufactured, and sold. ![]() he created the Mormon kind of polygamy, and it's the biggest version here 170 years later. Not the OT kind, or the Koran, kind, or the tribal kind. Joseph Smith brought that polygamy to this country. Polygamy in America is almost entirely founded upon uniform Mormon doctrines with splinter groups arguing subtleties. I understand the intellectual reason to try to correct the origin, but do not trust it because it is usually attached to Old Treatment, Koran, tribal or other forms of origin. The Mormon version of polygamy and polyandry evolved from Mormonism. Polyandry, and-in particular-polyamory are-in contrast to LDS-style and traditional (Islamic, etc.) polygamy-usually highly internally democratic (everyone has a say in important decisions, etc.) and egalitarian (no one is necessarily in a superior position, and certainly no one is in a superior position due to gender, "priesthood," or any other arbitrary factor). LDS polygamy is usually highly patriarchal and highly authoritarian. Neither polyandry or polyamory are derived from LDS theology or culture, and both exist (in what appear to be growing numbers and acceptance) in society at large. This is a good story and I'm glad you posted it, but what you're describing here is not polygamy, it is polyandry (multiple husbands), or polyamory (multiple committed partners genders are up to the people directly involved). > different weekends with her I did not catch on > had multiple husbands who would come and spend > husband was never around she hired me when I was a > I had a neighbor who was a young woman and her It seems she was a polygamist, but had multiple husbands who would come and spend different weekends with her I did not catch on until I came back from my mission. I had a neighbor who was a young woman and her husband was never around she hired me when I was a teenager to do yard work for her. I know as recently as ten years ago the Kingstons had several businesses still in Bountiful and I hired some to work for me, I did not realize it was a Kingston Family business until I made out the check to pay them. Many TBMs avoided doing business with them. My grandparents owned property close to the Kingstons and were on good terms with them. I believe it was in business into the late 70s. One I was fairly familiar with as a kid was the Davis County CO-OP shoe store on Main Steet in Bountiful. They owned lots of property and businesses. The Kingston family practiced semi-openly in Bountiful/Woodscross/ West Bountiful. I grew up in Bountiful and my grandparents were the children of the first pioneers to settle there. Polygamist could be the fundamentalists like Warren Jeffs or the assimilated "practicing", but hidden Mormons as shown in HBO's Big Love. I have a resource in mind that might be a helpful agent of information and change and need reliable areas of focus. Hilldale, Utah/Colorado City, Arizona (formerly known as Short Creek) I know of polygamists families in the following places-all have the same fundamental beliefs of Mormonism (Joseph Smith, restored priesthood, Book of Mormon, living prophet, and eternal families) Where have you seen or heard reliable evidence of polygamists in recent years, let's say past 20 to present? multiple splinter groups and silent practitioners have developed since that policy change resulting in an estimate of over 40,000 polygamists, primarily in the Mormon corridor. I know this practice became illegal in in the state of Utah in 1890 and became a cause for excommunication from the Brighamite branch of the LDS church in the early 1920's. I have been aware of polygamy (the teaching to young, pre-adolescent boys and girls a Mormon-originated principle that multiple wives for church-approved men is an important part of the Mormon eternal plan of salvation. ![]()
