Yeah, most TBM men don't seem to have any emotion about this doctrine until they read about polyandry. That was the first time my DH became sickened by polygamy. Otherwise, his indifference to the practice has frustrated me.
I would like to see Daniel Petersen's thoughts on what we have discussed. A response to Stn9's quotes I posted in particular. He was one of the only apologists I saw on MAD that put 131 and 132 in context, and the only one who didn't throw out every polygamist teaching as "opinion."
Maybe I'm rare but polyandry doesn't scare me that much either. I accept it would be probably be more difficult than a normal marriage but I'm not sickened by it. It helps that I know people who've made it work.
Polyandry doesn't bother me at first glance either honestly. I suppose it could be done fairly. What makes you think it's not possible?

Hell why not just become a swinger!!
They didn't want to. Two guys were in love with same girl and they all agreed to live together. She has a very separate relationship with each one. The guys are friends. It works pretty well for them. When I last talked to them they were thinking about having one of them marry her for legal reasons. I should give her a call, see how things are going.

Will they have a paternity test if there's a child?
Because you get excommunicated for swinging. If polyandry were insitutionalized by the Church, you wouldn't be excommunicated.
Look at Justin Timberlake and Kevin Federline. They seem to be pretty good friends. I guess they'd both been through the same crap with Britney, so they probably had a lot in common.

Yeah, I heard about them too. They made a movie -

One explanation for why polygamy will be necessary in the Celestial Kingdom is because more single women than single men will elegible enter the Celestial Kingdom thus causing the to women per man ratio to be 2 or 3 to 1. Polygamy will simple be a nescessity. Then during the millenium the temples will be busy assigning (sealing) these women to Celestialized men.
Just to add another point, I learned in priesthood that it seems to be a firm GA endorsed Mormon ideology that, "Women are more spiritual than men and there will hence be more women in the Celestial Kingdom." I really hated that doctrine and thought it was just throwing a bone to disgruntled feminists, but the brethren seem to really believe it. I sure don't.

Complete NONSENSE! Talk about condescending! :-(

Nehor,
There is an additional perspective you might be willing to share. I've a number of unmarried/divorced friends & acquaintances that have attended SPECIAL INTEREST dances. The ratio of women to men is quite staggering. What is your experience with this?
Do you think this might be one of the clues that confirms the existance of an afterlife of plural marriage?
