Polygamists in the News

Post by moksha » Fri Nov 04, 2016 5:32 am

Loss of salvation doesn’t burden religion, the government says in polygamous sect food stamp case.

Citing the Utah Territorial Fair Abuse Act of 1878, Judge Cliven B. Jensen ruled, "A Mormon's got the right to Mormonate as long as it is in accord with the will of his Prophet, even if he is one of those polygamists". This ruling affirms that "bleeding the beast" is permissible under the proper dispensation.

In other headline news, Trump is now leading McMullin among Utah Mormons. BYU senior in Family Economics, Trish VanderKimball, is quoted as saying "Trump is a deal maker. Maybe he can get his pal Putin to readmit our missionaries".
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

I always love when polygamists are in the news. They always show pictures of the women in their prairie dresses. It keeps my thoughts in check as I don't see their porn shoulders.

I was going to read the article to see what was real and what was Mokshafied, but when I clicked on the link I got spammed. Either that or I really did win a $1000 gift card and an iPhone 7 at the same time.

So proceed with caution.

Hagoth, I get to miss all that excitement with my ad blocker. Best wishes on the new iPhone.

As far as any Mokshafication, I sometimes like to look ahead to rulings an LDS judiciary might hand down. :D
