I was just watching a 2 hr special on Polygamy as a religion. For this show, it was focused on about 50,000 people in Utah that recognize this as a religion. It basically is about women obeying the man. The 2 couples featured, the one man had 3 wives and the other man had 4 wives. They had lots of children too. Even the wives admitted it is about obeying the man. Something about the man feeling he is the runner of his Kingdom. They believe they are moral too. Of course, moral in their own words.

They also discussed how children are sexually abused with this.

I will say that I think this is DISGUSTING!

It'd be one thing if they featured just information on this, but they had women speaking about it. Also women who used to recognize this as a religion but who do not anymore.

This isn't something where you can say "to each their own." If women & children are being sexually abused, how can you say that?

One women said it is like a cult. I agree.

How can you say God intends for you to live your life like this?

Also, if you leave the marriage, you could be forced to leave your children behind. Therefore, many women stay b/c of this and accept it.

The state of Utah doesn't take action b/c these people hide behind stating it's a "religion". Therefore, Utah is afraid to take action.
