Just_A_Guy Posted August 23, 2011 Report Posted August 23, 2011 Interesting that Statehood was at issue when WW received that revelation.Let me fix that for you:Interesting that the Church's very existence, and its adherents' freedom to remain out of jail was at issue when WW received that revelation.

garryw Posted August 23, 2011 Report Posted August 23, 2011 and that there hasn't been a Mormon poligamist in almost 150 years. Heber J. Grant died in 1945. The last polygamist church Pres. Quote
Suzie Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 I would also like to add a tiny bit of historical info here for those interested. The last LDS polygamist was the grandfather of Elder Henry B. Eyring, his name was Edward C. Eyring. He had two wives (who happen to be distant cousins of Mitt Romney). One of them (1st) died in 1954. That's just 57 years ago! Edward C. Eyring was the father of Camilla Eyring Kimball (President Spencer W. Kimball's wife) which means that when Spencer W. Kimnball was called as an Apostle in 1943, he had two mothers in law at the same time! Lucky guy eh. Quote
