Many of the so called Apostolic Modalistic groups down through history also practiced polygamy.

Yep right in the same bed. People slept very close and in very close quarters on the American frontier and their everyday living styles reflected that. The board was primarily used in adult beds to separate adult couples when they wanted privacy. During extremely cold winter nights the boards could be removed and they would sleep without separation to keep warm. The particular Pilgrim household featured in the documentary film my wife and I saw had a bed shared by the father and mother of the house on one side and their daughter and their son-in-law on the other. Apparently the family’s records and early pilgrim practice was more accommodating at times than I would have thought. I laughed and told my wife, “I couldn’t imagine having your in-laws on the other side of the board in bed right next to you. Talk about performance anxiety!” LOL

No Michael, its true..

also the Father of Faith practiced it.. Moses practiced it... David practiced it.. Solomon practiced it.... and it was never forbidden by God except for the leaders of the church,,, because their focus needed to be on the church and not taking care of a large family

I had read about that one in a book about ancient Christian practices while tryng to study out Oneness history on my own. Most of them were also Dualists, especially the Cathars. Take in mind though...just because they were Oneness doesn't make it right. It was just a practice that arose here and there.

For example:

This veiw is very disrecpectful of women. Are you saying that the women is to be treated like a piece of candy? The man can have all the candy he wants, but the woman can only have one piece of candy? That is the porblem with this way of thinking. A women should expect her husband to respect her enough, that he too ,is hers exclusivley.

Mutual respect, this is what polygamy is missing!
