[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 852583, member: 1246"] Multiple marriages is only practiced by excommunicated Mormons....not mainstream Mormons . So the mormon candidates do not believe in plural marriages!! When Utah was becoming a state the Mormon church did away with polygamy (1890) to comply with US laws against bigamy. The die hard polygamists went to practice their ways elsewhere. They are automatically excommunicated from the Mormon church. From the late Pres. Gordon B. Hinkley......... “I wish to state categorically that this Church has nothing whatever to do with those practicing polygamy. They are not members of this Church. Most of them have never been members. They are in violation of the civil law. They know they are in violation of the law. They are subject to its penalties. The Church, of course, has no jurisdiction whatever in this matter. “If any of our members are found to be practicing plural marriage, they are excommunicated, the most serious penalty the Church can impose. Not only are those so involved in direct violation of the civil law, they are in violation of the law of this Church. An article of our faith is binding upon us. It states, ‘We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law’ (Articles of Faith 1:12). One cannot obey the law and disobey the law at the same time. “There is no such thing as a ‘[URL="http://www.lds.org/ldsnewsroom/eng/commentary/fundamentalist-mormons"]Mormon Fundamentalist[/URL].’ It is a contradiction to use the two words together.” I thought you were the superior intelligence when it came to this crap!! I was wrong!! [/QUOTE]
