I'd forgotten it was called Bountiful. Is that not the most punniest thing you've ever heard? (yes I meant Punny. Not funny)

What is even wrong with polygamy? A man could have as many girlfriends as he wanted, make babies with every one of them, and that would be perfectly fine. In fact if he was an actor or a sports star people would be in awe of what a lover he was. But if this man was to marry the women and support his family he is a criminal.

Wasn't King Solomon from the Bible also a Polygamist?

An argument could be made that the BC government has made it "legal" in a way, by allowing the shenanigans going on at Bountiful for so long and doing squat about it.

Yes...and so was David...and so was Moses...

The only reason the government hasn't gone after the polygamists in Bountiful is because they're afraid of the very real possibility they'd lose a charter challenge. They have no desire to open that can of worms.

What are the shenanigans that are going on at Bountiful???

I could use a hubby or two.......what about that??????? is it all about the male needing more females? Just a question. This would make more sense then a man with more wifes...don't ya think??

I've always wondered about Adam and Eve..they had two sons,Cain and Abel,right? And Cain and Abel had children,too. So,theoritically,the sons must have had sexual relations with Eve[no other women around at that time!]Is that the original dysfunctional family?

The perversion of old men marrying young girls and more than one. Even girls under 14. The whole Bountiful thing reeks of sexual abuse, sexual exploitation, sexual assault, child molestation.

How else do 12, 14, 16 year old girls who have been brainwashed their whole lives marry men who are a lot older than them? and have kids when they are children still themselves?

It is absolutely sick what has been going on there and I think it needs to be stopped. Charge them, take them to court and see what happens. Hopefully it withstands the "Charter" if not change the law.

If you or I were to marry or have sex with a girl under 14 we would be thrown in jail and branded a sexual predator. "Religion" is being used to justify paedophilia behaviour at Bountiful.

Because of Bountiful and the likes the age of consent should be raised to the federal adult age of 18.

What normal person would approve of their 12-17 year old daughter marrying someone 10-50 years older than them? Not me. I don't know what I would do but it would never happen to my daughter.

How do you know if that's what is happening in Bountiful? Have you been there or did you just read some cock and bull story from someone wanting attention?

The burden of proof is with you stinger. If you don't believe the stories that have come out of Bountiful, then the onus is on you to find evidence that refutes them...

I grew up in Bountiful. Never in my life have I seen evidence of child abuse. I know of only one girl married when she was 15. She asked to get married. The man she married was 18. Most people assume just because we don't comment on all the bull**t stories that keep getting printed it means they are true. Some of the stories are so bloody far off the mark its just laughable. I won't claim that everything is 100 percent perfect in bountiful, but I challenge you to find a community our size that is.

I find it very interesting how so many people want to impose their personal beliefs onto others. Reeks of SSM debate.

Is some one trying to sell a story more credible than some one who has lived there all his life? The fifth estate based their story mostly on the statements of people who left the community many years ago. Not because they where abbused, or about to be forced into marrying some one who was 50 years older than themself, but because they choose not to follow our lifestyle any more. They then make up all kinds of stories so they can get attention from the press. If you did some research into the main source, Debbie Palmer, you would find that she tried to murder her family by burning her house down. She even admitted it in her "mocumentary" Leaving Bountiful. I have friends that were in that house. Any mental case can make up a believeable story, and if they give the press what it wants they become a star.

RE: A question about plig

Stinger, many of us have not had an opportunity to discuss the goings on with someone from there.

We've only had the press. We've been told that those in Bountiful do not like strangers to visit.

We maybe ignorant on the real issues, however it's not willfull ignorance.

That's right tibear, we're gonna force you to marry a gay man the second the bill passes. He's well endowed and horny as hell too....you'd best be stocking up on lubricant.

You mean more credible than you? Hmmm...is a national news show on a station known for it's journalisitc integrity more credible than an anonymous person on the internet? Tough call there.

And your wife going to be forced to marry Stephen Harper. What's your point????

 

[Reverend Blair]

RE: A question about plig

My point is that we aren't forcing anything on you.

 

[tibear]

RB,

Exactly the same point regarding polygamy. Nobody's forcing anyone to have multiple wifes/husbands, so should it be legal???
