Re: Sister Wives
I imagine this "belief" was pretty handy for the men who invented it. However, now, they are raised this way, whether they like it or not.

Yes, I would say so. Perhaps they could make some additional money by endorsing Viagra.

LOL! Yeah, right!!
What I am really opposed to is the forced polygamous marriages. Even when they are 18 and can say "Yes, I want to marry that old, fat 50 year old guy".
In Sister Wives, at least they are all around the same age and seem to be fairly satisfied in their lifestyle.

I agree - yuck! I'd have to take a razor blade into the bathtub with me. Of course, after I tried to escape. LOL!

I'm opposed to a television show opening more confusion into our society. Next they will have a show marrying their favorite animal.

Which is worse? The people who've been married 4 times to different people and slept with who knows how many in between? Or a relatively moral, religious family that is stable but polygamous?

I'm of the one man, one woman mentality. No matter how many times you did it, do it one at a time. I've always had difficulty in juggling two at a time. Something has to give. LOL!

Re: Sister Wives
Gotta run, ILG. Just wanted to say that I always enjoy conversing with you. Even in some areas that we don't agree, I enjoy the interesting conversations.

They didn't invent it. It's been around since Bible times.

No. They invented it. They invented the idea that in order to get into the celestial heaven, you had to be polygamous. Way to browbeat people into it. No choice there.
