Having those people live in constant fear of being "found out" and having their compounds raided and whatnot is wrong.

GOD BLESS!

A lot of those have incestous relationships. And force young girls to be wives.
Can the women have more than one husband?

Only one wife for Adam. Eve was created for him. I believe that there is that one woman that God creates and plans for a man.

One! Unless she dies of course, and then he's free to help himself to another.

Here is an old joke:

A man was standing on the corner of an intersection watching a funeral procession pass by, when suddenly he was struck by an unusual sight: behind the hearse followed a man leading a goat on a rope, who in turn was closely trailed by a line of young men. Approaching the man with a goat, the bystander inquired:
- Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me who has died, and why this strange following?
- Well, you see, the man answered, "the person in the hearse is my mother-in-law. Yesterday, while picking vegetables in our garden, she was struck from the behind by this goat and killed instantly."
- Really! the bystander said eagerly. "Think I might borrow him for a day or so?"
- Sure, responded the man, "but you'll have to go to the back like everyone else".

Sheesh yourself ya silly, I was talking about in the polygamy cults. The men can have multiple wives but the wives cannot have more than one husband. It's all one-sided.

Ahhh yes, I'm remembering the teaching on divorce and remarriage I was taught. If it's wrong for someone to be divorced and then to get remarried while the other spouse is alive, because it's adultery... But then again, does a man with three or four wives commit adultery?

GOD BLESS!
