whatever.

we can do without male chauvanists

In ancient times, if a woman had to marry her husband's brother, she didn't have a choice. Well, what if she didn't feel comfortable with the arrangement? I don't believe a woman , or anyone for that matter, man included, okay, or child, should be forced to do anything they are uncomfortable with. What if she isn't attracted to him? What if in the next life a woman is told to marry a man she isn't attracted to? I just don't think she should have to deal with that, but yet the Lord has told men to marry certain woman before and no one asked the woman how she felt about it. And I know of no instance where she could chose for herself. And I doubt that God will allow a woman to chose for herself in the eternities because it just doesn't seem to be the way He does things. That is not what I meant and you know it. That is ridiculous and I refuse to contend on it. I think I made it very clear what I was alluding too.

As far as emotionally, it really is essentially the same thing. And anyone who says to simply grow up, needs to simply live up to being kind about it.

its pretty much the same thing. Whether adultery or polygamy, its the same thing.

I responded to the just a guy one

but then maybe he just comes across that way to me and isn't always like that.

I really feel sorry for his wife.

and then this folk prophet guy doesn't help with the male image

sorry, its just been my experience.

you hypocrite, you criticize God every day when you sin.

I hope we can feel the peace that the temple brings, for those that have gone there and have a good night

I am sorry if it seems offensive, but hope everyone who has responded can make peace and not judge one another wrongfully but mind your own self.

Good night.

If I do not reply, it is because contention is of the devil. I love the peace of the temple and hope to remind those that have been there how we should all be.

I would not use such strong language such as you do. You definitely lack the Spirit of the Lord.

Well, I think that its disgusting that any LDS person has that kind of attitude. Be morally clean and pure in mind

Thank you

I mean look to your own imperfections

You are not perfect. You should look to your own perfections and not tell me what to do. You have no right. You are no prophet. You are just a man, a imperfect man. You have said that you are married Do you really love your wife? How would you feel if you had to share your wife with another man? Are there any insecurities you have about your manhood, your ability to provide, your looks, your personality, etc. How would you feel when she went to bed with him? How would you feel when she was pregnant with his child? How would you feel when she held his baby? How would you feel when he was better looking than you? Had a better job then you? Made her happier than you? Spent more time with her than you? How would that make you feel? Anyways, I think you could learn to be more sensitive about this subject and that would be pleasing to the Lord. It is wrong to be rude and blunt about it. Sometimes some people can't seem to see the forest for the trees. I'm sorry if I have been offensive, but I am tired of uncharitable people posing as God.

c'mon, let's face it, when do men ever apologize without being asked? at least usually, its seen in many instances in many people;s lives, sadly lacking

what does TFP mean?

Speaking the truth of the many men who show that they have low morals and low respect of womanhood does not mean that I have a low opinion of all men. It is not Christ-like to exaggerate when someone is making a point. I am sorry if you took it out of proportion. That was not my intent. But he was way out of line.

That is not Christ's way of handling things. You really have no idea of how I view marriage. And it is men who want sex and want more then one wife.. It is men who want polygamy. I have heard a bishop say about something else that he does not do guilt. Shaming people is not of God. Take your own advice. Grow up. Accept that women find polygamy hard. Accept that you are a man who probably likes sex too much and probably is not patient enough, not charitable enough, and probably isn't selfless enough to understand and be able to keep one wife happy enough, let alone to be allowed to have two or more, and that if you don't repent of whatever lusts you as a male have, you will not make it either. I really have nothing else to say. I apologize for my rudeness. But as for you being a man, i can hardly think you will , in your male analytical mind, see a need to apologize for your rude behavior.
