Not only do they have choices, but they have organizations reaching out and trying to get them to leave. They are not ignorant. They are extremely smart women. They know what they can do with their lives inside the community and outside. They choose family. They choose peace. Would it be better if they were some of the women in the big cities who are single mothers with two or three baby daddies and getting by with the government being the big daddy and supporting their lives? Is that what you would see is better? Because that is becoming the new normal in regular monogamous society. Multiple partners multiple baby daddies and multiple poverty levels. I would say these people have something going very very good.

Yeah, 2nd wife was jealous that he married again, and she’s not “allowed” to be, so she attacks 3rd over a loaf of bread. Polygamy is inherently abusive, and these women are brainwashed to believe they can’t get to heaven if they don’t participate in this. His first wife seems like she may be ace/aro, so was relieved when the 2nd could take on the physical “responsibilities” of marriage. She seemed she didn’t even care about the other two being there. The husband was creepy. The whole thing is dysfunctional, at best.

It takes the first group wanting to be, just that, a group (with similar wants in life).

(oh and men allowed to have multiple wives & older tired wives not wanting to "bedroom" all of the time) in an age when women couldn't say No!

They dont worship the God we serve. They believe the men will have their own ‘world’. That the god of this world was once a mortal man who built his kingdom on earth and lived the ‘principles.’ This is why they have many children and baptize for the dead. They’re trying to a have their own ‘world.’

So even if they only do those spiritual unions if they run around saying my wife you can be arrested and serve time. They have had this law before but it was changed but then it came up again and I'm not exactly sure what the final outcome was but it was pretty far along and passed several votes. Currently I'm not sure if this law was put back in play or not but yep the issue was calling more than one woman wife.

There are many books they hold in same esteem as the Bible. So, basically…since the mormons left the original principles of multi-marriages due to living by the law of the land.

You are being mature & honest. My daughter (37) has chosen also to NOT have children. I completely respect her decision. Sure, some children are the most beautiful thing ever, as they grow into beautiful adults. BUT some kids, take a wrong turn, and bring nothing but misery. Even with wonderful parents. So young people should think long & hard. Life can be enjoyable but it’s generally challenging, even when kids are easy. So it’s a decision of how much more challenge do you want to ADD to your life??

Why are so many women getting useless mutts instead of having children? A dog is just an animal that will be dead in 10-15 years. Stop humanizing these things! They’re just animals! They shouldn’t be treated like the children you never had!

There's a freedom that comes with not being married or having kids, and I probably wouldn't change my mind for anyone. I honestly love not being tied down with the responsibilities of being a mother and a wife. Also, nobody stays together anymore, which is really sad. Just because you're married with kids, it doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to be together forever. 🥺💔♀️💪

King David and most of the Greats in Old Testament had numerous wives. It was never condemned in scripture.

​@OutWestRedDirt the way David acquired batsheba was definitely condemned. Marriage to multiple wives in the Bible was never ideal.

How do they avoid marrying close relatives with so many siblings in the same geographical area? Are there often genetic defects?

This community has the world’s largest incidence of a genetic disorder called fumarase deficiency. It’s caused by marrying cousins and close relatives. This has happened for generations. Fumarase deficiency causes severe mental retardation. There are also other genetic disorders emerging from this cohort. It’s no wonder. If you have 50-60 siblings on both sides, how the heck would you even know all your own siblings, let alone cousins. Cousin to cousin marriage from generation to generation from the Pakistani Community is starting to have significant burdens on their health system. Children are being born mentally and physically challenged and blind. I recently viewed a documentary on this topic and it is traumatising to see the poor innocent children inheriting miserable and painful lives due to their selfish ignorant parents.

At least one group has actually started doing genetic testing to try to avoid birth defects and some other groups are doing only arranged marriages so the leaders choose people who aren't too closely related
