Robert:
QUOTE Don't they understand that God lives in a polygamous relationship and so do all in the highest glory?
Isn't this pure speculation?
QUOTE It blew me away that a women's survey resulted in a vast majority stating that given a choice, they would prefer to be cheated on by their husbands rather then live polygamy.
Do you have any links or source on this survey?
QUOTE From my discussions, the topic always moves to: Am I not enough in bed! And I can understand that question as the church avoids teaching all the dynamics involved in polygamy.
That's because most sisters only focus on the "sex" issue rather than the whole picture.
QUOTE Joseph Smith stated that if any man teaches anything different, they will be damned, were does that leave us today.. .. .. . I can point out a lot of difference, starting with the temple etc.
Oh, this is something I always discuss. I really don't know. He also said that whoever makes any changes to the Temple Ordinances will mean the Church is becoming apostate. So I hate to say this but I still trying to understand why what the Prophets of old had to say is no longer important. We "pick" what is convenient and throw away what is not.

Yes, these "changes" are bothersome. One can say that the actual covenants have not changed but you are starting to cutting a really fine line here. Not to mention initiatory work etc. I believe it is all because of reactions from apostate members trying to embarrass the church.
Regarding the survey, I need to ask a friend of mine who told me this.

I'm a bit concerned with the logistics of the whole operation if plural marriage is in fact the order of heaven. We know from science and statistics that the birth/conception rate is only slightly off of a 1:1 ratio. Assuming that the average wife to husband ratio will be 3:1 (It could be much higher), there is a problem. Where are all the women going to come from?! It seems to me that God is in the same position as the Fundamentalist church has found themselves in. The Fundamentalists solved this problem by banning males from their community upon committing very minor offenses. Is this what God is going to resort to? Are his male children going to be held to much more rigorous standards than his female children? Perhaps women are naturally so much more righteous than men that the whole thing will work itself out.
Any thoughts?
QUOTE It's so odd how some people react to this topic. I once asked my sister-in-law if she would live it if it ever became a requirement. She said "no way, I would NEVER share my husband" So I asked, what if you had to share him in order to have him for eternity? She said, "I would rather have him to myself now, and not have him at all then. "
I don't think it's odd at all. I have a lot of respect for your sister-in-law.

TheMark, I assume you are not keen about this Plural Marriage idea. I don't know what God has in store but he will surely make everything work out. I don't think the Church will ever practice plural marriage again, half of the membership will be gone!

Well, I don't really have a problem with plural marriage in general. Cross-culturally, strict monogamy is not the norm. It is much more common to find a society that allows plural marriage than to find one that absolutely does not. In a lot of ways, it makes sense. That is, on a temporal level. I believe it was unjust of the the American Congress to forcibly ban the Saints from their polygynous practice.
My problem is specific to the religious character of Mormon plural marriage. I think it is a righteous for some women to desire complete fidelity, and it is an unrighteous imposition to tell them that they are wrong for having that desire or that they must not hold on to it. Some women can handle it, some can't. I don't believe a person's character or desires are going to automatically change after they die.

I'm not sure on the is or isn't part If I had to guess I would say if it is in anywhere in the scriptures in which the Lord God says to the church as a whole "Thou Shalt do this" in old new or D&C Esp in D&C then it become doctrine.
but Look at the church history ! first and foremost we believe in obeying the law and second notice that that those who did practice were worthy temple rec. Holders (And there was no law against it) And had to be interviewed before entering into this ,not every member of the church was worthy to do this even if they could support the extra family life. And besides that remember we are world wide and not all countries outlaw Plural Marriage.
D&c says where there is no law there is no punishment :)
