No, this is just a good place to buy rabbit pellets, eh, I mean, therapeutic caplets. Here in Salt Lake City all the hookers are in jail at great public expense, which the locals are glad to pay, due to a fear that perhaps if the men here had some easy sexual outlet they wouldn't be nearly so tractable come marital negociation time. Thus, think of Salt Lake hookers viewed as scabs in a really nasty labor strike, and you'll get the idea. All the women who look superficially like hookers down there on State Street don't really have the proper world-weary kicked-too-many times hardened look, on close inspection. Actually, they look more like BYU coeds, all tarted up. Which of course, they are. Since they are actually nice Mormon girls trying to work their way up in the SLC police department, vice division. Everybody's gotta have a career. Reporting From The Kingdom of the Saints Steve Harris, M.D. From: sbharris@ix.netcom.com(Steven B.

Islam doesn't allow it. Islam doesn't allow sisters to marry a genetically unrelated man? Why-ever not? There are a lot of biblical places where it seems to be rather expected that serve his wife's sisters, if they are childless. The Jews didn't formally give up polygamy as a principle until about A.D. 1000, and that seems mostly to try to apease their Christian neighbors. So also with Mormonism and the US "Zion". As to what's allowed in Mormonism, polygamy has been formally abandoned there since 1890. A few splinter groups (not any of the main branches which derive from Joseph Smith's original 1830 church) still practice polygamy. All illegally, strange to tell. But nobody prosecutes, since the patent silliness of the fact that a man can live openly with one wife and a mistresses, or with two wives in rapid succession, but cannot live with 2 wives at once, and take open responsibility for them and their children, would be apparent. Who the devil cares? Society's responsiblity is to the children a man fathers, and polygamy does nothing to undermine that. If anything, the reverse is true. The orthodox Utah Mormons (LDS church) themselves, BTW, historically the largest "Mormon" group ever to practice polygamy, only ordered new marriages stopped in 1890. Probably a few more took place after, just by way of momentum. And the orthodox LDS didn't dissolve any of the old ones, which naturally went on for a good many years. In substance and Mormon thinking, if not legal thinking, at least. To this day, the LDS church doesn't like to talk about polygamy much, since they want badly to be mainstream. But they are forced to continue to admit it is a true principle of their faith, though not one commanded by God just now. Trying to marry two women will get you kicked out of the orthodox Mormon church these days even faster than having a wife and a mistress. And while they will let you back in for the latter sin, if you repent, my guess it that it would take quite a lot longer, if ever, for the former. As with all churches, in Mormonism there really is only one True Sin: defiance of authority. There is a certain sneakiness about mistresses which continues to acknowledge the church's power. Having two wives is thumbing one's nose, bigtime. |
