Please link to these website(s) for the truth regarding the INHERENT sexual abuse, emotional abuse, physical abuse, suppression of women, incest, child abuse, poverty, and mind control that goes on in polygamous societies in America (Utah, Colorado, Texas etc.) Mexico and Canada in the name of religion. Polygamy is still believed by the male leaders (controllers) of the LDS religion. This belief is the CAUSE of horrendous abuse of women and children sucked into polygamy situations since its a part of main stream Mormonism heritage and "will be lived again" and is "the way it is in Heaven." Polygamy is sick and is lived by mentally sick victims and sick abusers.

Polygamy is an abmonination! It was never commanded in the Bible and brought cursings on those that practiced it. It is an offshoot from the slavery that was a part of that time period.
Jesus Christ, the Savior, the ONLY Example taught the sanctity of marriage between one man and one wife. NEVER polygamy. This teaching is also found in the preserved Gospels; The Gospel of Mary, Phillip, Thomas, etc.
For example, Abraham lied to a prince and another ruler fearing man more than God because of the beauty of Sarah. For this he was cursed because he was given Hagar (slavery), an egyptian as a handmaid for Sarah. Sarah and Abraham have no faith in the Lord and so Sarah gives (slavery) Hagar to Abraham for him to commit adultery so they can have children to fulfill the promise of lineage as numerous as the sands of the sea. Maybe this was a warning to Abraham since the Lord knew that Abraham feared man more than God and was a weak man (human) and would make some big mistakes. Today Hagar and Abraham's prosperity are the Muslems who hate Christians. All are children of the Lord. However, look at the consequences of war and terroism today because of the choices of Abraham and Sarah.
The Book of Mormon clearly states that polygamy is an abomination unto the Lord. Why don't the Mormon's read the Book of Mormon. D&C 132 is an embellishment, a LIE and was written to justify the adultery and carnal desires of the masonic leaders at that time.
But the word of God burdens me because of your grosser crimes. For behold, thus saith the Lord: This people begin to wax in iniquity; they understand not the scriptures, for they seek to excuse themselves in committing whoredoms, because of the things which were written concerning David, and Solomon his son.
24
Behold, David and Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was abominable before me, saith the Lord.

The Nephite nation (Ancient American relatives to present day Native American Indians) was almost ALL destroyed because of polygamy. Jacob 2, Chapter 3! Why isn't this fact EVER taught in the LDS religion???
NOTE: During a 3 day NDE, it was told that the "cursing of the skin" meant they did not have the purity of heart. Repentance is available to everyone. The Lord is no respector of persons, does not practice ethnocentrism, doesn't care about a person's gender, age, wealth, poverty, color of skin, eyes or whatever. What he cares about if you truly understand the Lord's spiritual teachings is the PURITY of the HEART!!! All may come into Him! Don't be purists and get caught up in the sliver or word while in your own heart is a beam of intentional misunderstanding. The Lord has had to deal with very human individuals who have free agency to write His words according to their own limited language abilities and understanding.
Nephite Nation almost ALL destroyed because of POLYGAMY! It has NEVER been of God!
Behold, the Lamanites your brethren, whom ye hate because of their filthiness and the cursing which hath come upon their skins, are more righteous than you; for they have not forgotten the commandment of the Lord, which was given unto our father—that they should have save it were one wife, and concubines they should have none, and there should not be whoredoms committed among them.
6
And now, this commandment they observe to keep; wherefore, because of this observance, in keeping this commandment, the Lord God will not destroy them, but will be merciful unto them; and one day they shall become a blessed people.
7
Behold, their husbands love their wives, and their wives love their husbands; and their husbands and their wives love their children; and their unbelief and their hatred towards you is because of the iniquity of their fathers; wherefore, how much better are you than they, in the sight of your great Creator?

Joseph Smith was WARNED that he would fall IF he followed his own dictates and CARNAL DESIRES! (We believe Joseph Smith was trying to repent or he would not have been given the spiritual command to flee to the Rocky Mountains alone to start over. However, he listened to Emma and "friends" and returned "as a lamb to the slaughter." He was a man, who divinely translated the Golden plates who errored in many ways.
THE works, and the designs, and the purposes of God cannot be frustrated, neither can they come to naught. For God doth not walk in crooked paths, neither doth he turn to the right hand nor to the left, neither doth he vary from that which he hath said, therefore his paths are straight, and his course is one eternal round. Remember, remember that it is not the work of God that is frustrated, but the work of men; For although a man may have many revelations, and have power to do many mighty works, yet if he boasts in his own strength, and sets at naught the counsels of God, and follows after the dictates of his own will and carnal desires, he must fall and incur the vengeance of a just God upon him. Behold, you have been entrusted with these things, but how strict were your commandments; and remember also the promises which were made to you, if you did not transgress them. And behold, how oft you have transgressed the commandments and the laws of God, and have gone on in the persuasions of men. For, behold, you should not have feared man more than God. Although men set at naught the counsels of God, and despise his words—Yet you should have been faithful; and he would have extended his arm and supported you against all the fiery darts of the adversary; and he would have been with you in every time of trouble. Behold, thou art Joseph, and thou wast chosen to do the work of the Lord, but because of transgression, if thou art not aware thou wilt fall[...] Except thou do this, thou shalt be delivered up and become as other men, and have no more gift.

Doctrine and Covenants | Section 3:1 - 11) More scriptures not taught truthfully in church!
A prophet CAN lead you astray. "Everyone needs to repent no matter their age or position" stated by Richard G. Scott in General Conference especially directed to Hinckley - the Anti-Christ who believes he is a God behind his public relations facade! He prides himself on building many great and spacious buildings and temples - this is what the wicked "King" prophet Noah did as well in the book of Mosiah! A type and shadow as warned 3 times.
But this much I tell you, what you do with me, after this, shall be as a type and a shadow of things which are to come. (Book of Mormon | Mosiah 13:10) This is stated 3 times and Hinckley fulfills this type and shadow for today with his glorifying in his grand buildings and temples instead of in the Orignal Book of Mormon. He can still repent. This is why the Lord has kept him alive. Remember
Richard Lyman, an "Apostle" that was having an affair and was excommunicated? (look it up in LDS church history) that year 6 other apostles died - were they having affairs as well? Someday all will be revealed. Just know that much goes on behind the scenes that the ignorant church member has NO idea. This is why people that work for the church say over and over "it's a good thing I have a testimony of the gospel, i.e. the Book of Mormon, because when you work for the church you find out more than you care to in how the people are treated and the ego of the leaders."
For he put down all the priests that had been consecrated by his father (Noah WAS the LEADER/Prophet of the church), and consecrated new ones in their stead, such as were lifted up in the pride of their hearts. Yea, and thus they were supported in their laziness, and in their idolatry, and in their whoredoms, by the taxes (tithing, consecration of everything to the church) which king Noah had put upon his people; thus did the people labor exceedingly to support iniquity. Yea, and they also became idolatrous, because they were deceived by the vain and flattering words of the king and priests; for they did speak flattering things unto them. And it came to pass that king Noah built many elegant and spacious buildings; and he ornamented them with fine work of wood, and of all manner of precious things, of gold, and of silver, and of iron, and of brass, and of ziff, and of copper; And he also built him a spacious palace, and a throne in the midst thereof, all of which was of fine wood and was ornamented with gold and silver and with precious things.

Richard Lyman, an "Apostle" that was having an affair (HOW could an Apostle do such a thing??? Easy, they are all very human men who are not truly witnesses of the Lord but only pretend to be) and was excommunicated? (look it up in LDS church history) that year 6 other apostles died - were they having affairs as well? Someday all will be revealed; there will be no more secrets!
Just know that much goes on behind the scenes that the ignorant church members have NO idea what is really behind the facade of "All is Well in Zion", "I will NEVER lead you astray"... This is why people that work for the church say over and over "it's a good thing I have a testimony of the gospel, i.e. the Book of Mormon, because when you work for the church you find out more than you care to in how the people are treated and the ego of the leaders."
