Mormons will be required to practice Polygamy in the Celestial Kingdom

Here are some quotes from past General Authorities of the LDS church:

[Remember too that the church in the 1800 used many arguments against monogomous heterosexual marriage in a manner similar to those used now against gay marriage]:

"It is a fact worthy of note that the shortest lived nations of which we have record have been monogamic. Rome...was a monogamic nation and the numerous evils attending that system early laid the foundation for that ruin which eventually overtook her."
- Apostle George Q. Cannon, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 13, p. 202

"Since the founding of the Roman empire monogamy has prevailed more extensively than in times previous to that. The founders of that ancient empire were robbers and women stealers, and made laws favoring monogamy in consequence of the scarcity of women among them, and hence this monogamic system which now prevails throughout Christendom, and which had been so fruitful a source of prostitution and whoredom throughout all the Christian monogamic cities of the Old and New World, until rottenness and decay are at the root of their institutions both national and religious."
-Prophet Brigham Young Journal of Discourses, Vol. 11, p. 128

"... the one-wife system not only degenerates the human family, both physically and intellectually, but it is entirely incompatible with philosophical notions of immortality; it is a lure to temptation, and has always proved a curse to a people."
-Prophet John Taylor, Millennial Star, Vol. 15, p. 227

"Monogamy, or restrictions by law to one wife, is no part of the economy of heaven among men. Such a system was commenced by the founders of the Roman empire....Rome became the mistress of the world, and introduced this order of monogamy wherever her sway was acknowledged. Thus this monogamic order of marriage, so esteemed by modern Christians as a holy sacrament and divine institution, is nothing but a system established by a set of robbers.... Why do we believe in and practice polygamy? Because the Lord introduced it to his servants in a revelation given to Joseph Smith, and the Lord's servants have always practised it. 'And is that religion popular in heaven?' it is the only popular religion there,..."
-Prophet Brigham Young, The Deseret News, August 6, 1862

"This law of monogamy, or the monogamic system, laid the foundation for prostitution and the evils and diseases of the most revolting nature and character under which modern Christendom groans,..."
-Apostle Orson Pratt, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 13, page 195

"We breathe the free air, we have the best looking men and handsomest women, and if they (Non-Mormons) envy us our position, well they may, for they are a poor, narrow-minded, pinch-backed race of men, who chain themselves down to the law of monogamy, and live all their days under the dominion of one wife. They ought to be ashamed of such conduct, and the still fouler channel which flows from their practices; and it is not to be wondered at that they should envy those who so much better understand the social relations."
-Apostle George A Smith, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 3, page 291

"Some quietly listen to those who speak against the plurality of wives, and against almost every principle that God has revealed. Such persons have half-a-dozen devils with them all the time. You might as well deny 'Mormonism,' and turn away from it, as to oppose the plurality of wives. Let the Presidency of this Church, and the Twelve Apostles, and all the authorities unite and say with one voice that they will oppose the doctrine, and the whole of them will be damned."
-Apostle Heber C. Kimball, Journal of Discourses, vol. 5, p. 203

"Just ask yourselves, historians, when was monogamy introduced on to the face of the earth? When those buccaneers, who settled on the peninsula where Rome now stands, could not steal women enough to have two or three apiece, they passed a law that a man should have but one woman. And this started monogamy and the downfall of the plurality system. In the days of Jesus, Rome, having dominion over Jerusalem, they carried out the doctrine more or less. This was the rise, start and foundation of the doctrine of monogamy; and never till then was there a law passed, that we have any knowledge of, that a man should have but one wife."
-Prophet Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses Vol. 12, page 262

"I have noticed that a man who has but one wife, and is inclined to that doctrine, soon begins to wither and dry up, while a man who goes into plurality [of wives] looks fresh, young, and sprightly."
- Apostle Heber C. Kimball, Journal of Discourses Vol 5, page 22


When I was a member of the MORG, I had a discussion with the members of the Primary Presidency about polygamy in the hereafter. We all privately agreed that we would never allow it, that we wouldn't share our husbands now or in the afterlife, and if we were required to, we guessed the Terrestial kingdom would have to suffice for each of us. It was unheard of that polygamy would be instituted for the entire church, since we had been taught that it was only for a short time, and only practiced by a few people.

Well, I guess the only differences between the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and the LDS is the practice of polygamy. They refused to let go of the practice when the church rescinded the ordinance in order to gain statehood. The fundies wouldn't stop because they adamantly believe it is crucial to their celestial reward and no man may enter with less than two wives. The fundies believe they maintain the truth and fullness of the gospel because they didn't give into pressure to drop polygamy, and they look upon the LDS church as an "offshoot" of the main church! And who hasn't been hearing about Warren Jeffs in the news lately, charged with arranging a marriage of a 13 year old girl to an older first cousin? Sounds awful close to the story of Helen Mar Kimball, whom Joseph married at the age of 14 to assure her family's place in the CK.
I guess the "real" true church is the one that the Fundamentalists have maintained for over a hundred years in Colorado City and Hilldale. They are the real valiant Saints, for they never changed since Brigham and Joseph's time. They adhere to the same teachings as the first two prophets, so why aren't the LDS concerned about that? Because THEY DON'T KNOW. They have no idea what early prophets taught, because they believe a current prophet "trumphs" any old ones. That makes the church doctrines changeable, and makes the LDS faith rest on the opinions of whoever happens to be leading it at the time. So what does that mean for those early mormon pioneers who believed in Brigham? Why is there a 26 volume set called the Journal of Discourses, full of the teachings of Brigham Young? If his teachings were false and a current prophet trumphs all old ones, it means that the pioneers DIED FOR NOTHING. They sacrificed everything to follow a false prophet. And a hundred years hence, when the LDS prophet of that era decides that Gordon B. Hinckley doesn't know what the hell he is talking about, and portrays him as a false prophet, what does that mean for those NOW sacrificing to obey the teachings? It means that the great-great-great grandchildren of this generation won't know any better, because they WON'T KNOW EITHER. It's a never ending cycle of discounting, denying, and rewriting scripture and doctrine to suit the times and to sweep major historical evidence under the rug. Take the red pill already and find out what the REAL world is like before it's too late!
