Three Women and GoodBye Earl

After reading this 1st post, for some reason I thought of this.

If a man had two or three wives, would this be justified? LOL

Oh well, tried to post the YouTube of The Dixie Chicks-Goodbye Earl. LOL

This reminds me of a old story about a old boy that used to cheat on his wife.
The ole gal caught wind that he was cheating ,he came home late one night , and crawled into bed, after he fell asleep his wife sowed up the bedsheets and took a baseball bat and beat the stuffings out of him.

They looked the typical conservative Apostolic family proclaiming they 'loved and chose the life they were living', and the man smiling and telling how all he was doing was taking care of his family. There were tears in the eyes of the middle-aged wife as she confessed to having moments of jealousy and resentment that she was being replaced with a younger model, and then she thought of the 'sister' she had found in the other wife, and the younger wife sung the praises of the older wife who was teaching her how to care for the children and their home, and how to love her husband.

The brought out the fact that these women were under 'submission' to their husband, and would never wear pants but long skirts..as they paid homeage to the husband and leader of the family. It reminds me of that painted hobby horse of Apostolic men who love to have their cake and eat it too while taking all the sweetness of their wives for granted and the wife slowly dying every day.
There were few genuine smiles, or heartfelt statements by the women...but all the men seemed pleased as punch.

Just thought I'd share the similarities between the Mormon polygamists and our many Apostolic families. The abuse of power and leadership and the sacrifice of the women's identity.oloroid

Blessings, Rhoni
Rhoni,

The bolded portion is an exception, not the rule,and it happens in worldly families more than in the church.

This is an incredibly broad-brushing and offensive statement.

You need to forgive and release those feelings of bitterness.
