No worries. He'll marry one and retroactively baptize the other so she gets her own planet in the afterlife. Then, when Mittens slips this mortal coil, he can hang with her too.

He can marry both of them. Get it?

Think how complicated this is for Mormons - they can't even drink coffee.

Only if there's a dog or a refrigerator involved.

I know more about Jehova Witnesses than Mormons. My cousin's Elder told him he could drink 2 beers at a sitting. So my cousin regularly buys 2 Quarts bottles of "Fin du Monde" (9% alcohol) and knocks them back. Effectively like drinking 8 American beers. He's basically cleverly tricking God on a technicality.

Young claimed that "our father Adam came into the garden of Eden, he came into it with a celestial body, and brought Eve, one of his wives, with him."

wait, what? how many wives did adam have?

Hi Neighbor, would you like a hot glass of Mormon tea? It's a plant that grows all over in these parts. Some say it was given to us by God. Don't mind the ephedra, it's Godly jitters.

I enjoy the implication that Adam had multiple wives prior to the Garden of Eden. Here I thought that Genesis says God created Adam in the Garden, and then created Eve at Adam's request. Apparently not!

apparently mormons think that before being tossed into the garden, adam was the archangel michael - maybe he had other angel wives? is that even a thing?

Two, if I remember my mythology correctly. First wife was Lilith...she was a spirit but didn't like the missionary position and wanted to be on top.
So Adam complained to God about this and that's when Eve got cloned.

from wiki:
"In Jewish folklore, from the 8th-10th centuries Alphabet of Ben Sira onwards, Lilith becomes Adam's first wife, who was created at the same time and from the same earth as Adam. This contrasts with Eve, who was created from one of Adam's ribs. The legend was greatly developed during the Middle Ages, in the tradition of Aggadic midrashim, the Zohar and Jewish mysticism.[3] In the 13th Century writings of Rabbi Isaac ben Jacob ha-Cohen, for example, Lilith left Adam after she refused to become subservient to him and then would not return to the Garden of Eden after she mated with archangel Samael.[4] The resulting Lilith legend is still commonly used as source material in modern Western culture, literature, occultism, fantasy, and horror."

The_Six_Fingered_Man: /Ex-comm'd Mormon

Congratulations. I'm hoping you are OK with it.

I'm non-practicing/non-believing Catholic. We don't have many Mormons up here but we have a shiatload of Jehova Witnesses. Whenever, they know on my door, I tell them that I've been disfellowshipped and the look on their face is priceless. They don't say a word, they turn, and they practically run away. Plus they don't come back. I advise everyone to say this if they don't like these types of visits.

What do Mormon's do if you tell them you are "ex-communicated". Is there a higher "shunning" level than that?

FuturePastNow: Don't see a problem with plural marriages, as long as everyone's consenting.

For that to work, it would imply a single ceremony. Plural marriages normally involving a man marrying one woman and then later on marrying a second woman. The first wife could technically agree to the second wife but maybe under pressure (threat of divorce). In these cases, that man normally is the income and has the upper hand in the relationship. The wife may have thought of the first marriage as being monogamous in which case, the second marriage invalidates the first. Very messy and that is not even getting into divorce.

If the second wife is helping raise the kids of the first wife and vice versa, you create additional family bonds and custody issues. The man can arbitrarily divorce one of the wives. The other wives wouldn't have a say. The women being divorced would have no claims of custody for non-biological children which she could have help raise (perhaps even exclusively raise). Fair division of assets is highly impractical.

In almost all scenarios, the man has the advantage and there fore the "equality" argument doesn't really fit. Because it is essentially of marriage of inequality.

I have no issue of them using the term "marriage" or even it being a legal marriage but it is a more complicated contract and would therefore must have additional conditions. A prenuptial agreement should be mandatory and all parties must have to consult individual lawyers in the process. A ceremony must include all spouses. Also, parental roles should be monitored to ensure that the legal/biological or adoptive parent is performing the primary parental role.

All-in-all, I would prefer this type of marriage was not recognized by the State. A) it isn't a two-party contract B) you aren't born a biological pluralist
