Sister Wives

Actually they are not a sect of the Mormon religion. They are whats called either the fundamentalist Mormons or the reorginazed Mormons. Which are as different from mormons as Cathlics are from Prodastants(sp?). The LDS (mormons) church actually disallowed the practice of plural marriage in 1890 so that Utah could become a state. Anyone who is proven to practice plural marriage in the LDS religion is excommunicated from the church.

Not saying a agree or disagree with plural marriage. Just wanted to make that clear so that people did not think they were members of the mormon religion.

Yes, that's why I said they were a branch, they are no longer part of the Mormom church, they branched off. But they believe they are more closely following Joseph Smith's religion, and the Mormoms are wrong, right?

sorry must have misread your post. Been a long day. Yup they believe they are following the religion more closely to what Joshep Smith wanted. Where the mormons think they are.

I want to know why plural marriages are always one man with multiple women? Why can't it be reversed - one woman with multiple husbands?

Most likely because the LDS is a patriarchal religion - like the Roman Catholics. Beware of organizations run by men

I watched a show on the discovery health channel about a lady with 2 husbands, she got pregnant by the second husband and the first husband had to babysit while they both went to work everyday, I king of enjoyed the show

It was called strange sex.

Because most women only need one man.
On the other hand, men need more than one woman.

THe most shocking comment that one of the wives stated was that they are told if a man has 2 wives and there are problems to bring in a third and she will even it out. HUH???

AM I out of line by saying the .GOV should stay out of marriage?

Oh more then one wife/husband is taboo, this should be good TV. Realy, Ill watch reruns of the A Team instead.

Sorry but JackAss is more reality TV then what is labled as Reality TV.
