I think it is unfortunate that the Church spends so much money and cares so much about PR and how it's image is perceived by the rest of the world.

Just keep doing what your doing and don't care so much about the rest of the world.

It's also a nightmare for women. Makes a woman want to run far away!

This certainly a nightmare that needs to end. This FLDS polygamy cult has been rough on our family. We are converts to the LDS church and it has been very confusing to us as a family. I hope this awful part of the church disappears soon. We do not believe in polygamy.

They have to care. Our members and missionaries are being assaulted and their property vandalized because the press is lumping us together. Don't you know anyone that doesn't live in UT that is LDS??? Oh but wait, several attacks were mentioned in DN... I guess you missed them.

I would still like to know why I cannot be sealed to both my husbands who I love dearly, and have 3 children with my first husband who died, and 5 children with my second husband. If it's right for a man then it should be right for a woman... It is only fair. No two ways about it.

Polygamy is a nightmare! I don't believe there ever really was a revelation for such a practice. Give me a break people...Common sense says it was made up for in behalf of men of the Mormon church...nice try though.

Actually I think it was put into effect to make up for all the guys killed in the oppression of LDS members in the 19th century. There simply weren't enough left to go around
