Fiannan, you know by now that polygamy is not the issue. I know you keep trying to make it the issue, by it isn't. The issue is the forcible giving and taking of underage girls, 'spiritually', physically, and sexually. And the expectation given to the young children produced that they will do the same when they turn 13 or even 14. That is what is wrong here. If it was just a bunch of people over 18 claiming to be 'spiritually married', or sleeping together, it would be a nonissue. Bringing in Hef and his girlfriends is a strawman argument.
