Guys who take up with more than one woman are going to have to start referring to them as their "pumpkins" instead of "wives" in order to avoid The Wrath Of tx.<BR/><BR/>I can see it now: A wave of Great Pumpkin Joinings will sweep the Nation, and in particular, West Texas. There will be mass Joinings participated in by hundreds of couples or triples, presided over by the Pumpkin Prophet.<BR/><BR/>The PP will Join these couples and triples in Holy Pumpkinmony, where the individuals will promise to love, cherish and obey each other.<BR/> They will be asked: And do you, Mary Sue, and you, Thelma, and you, Francine, take this man to be your lawfully Joined Pumpkin? And do you, Bubba Smith, take this woman, and this woman, and this woman, to be your lawfully Joined Pumkins? <BR/><BR/>At the end of the ceremony the PP will instruct the participants that they can now kiss their Pumpkins. <BR/><BR/>It will be legal, no bigamy involved, because the word "marriage" and the word "wife" and the word "husband" will not be used.<BR/><BR/><BR/>DoranUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018000232516755128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31762465.post-26913484247600677362008-08-07T07:47:00.000-04:002008-08-07T07:47:00.000-04:00Blues, you're going to have to realize that I am a...Blues, you're going to have to realize that I am a strict, and I mean <I>strict</I> Christian. Yes, there is a difference between Polygamy and Adultery.<BR/><BR/>Biblically speaking, with one exception (and even that is in dispute), a man cannot even be said to <I>commit</I> adultery against a woman. It depends again how you define adultery, Biblically.<BR/><BR/>So as a person employing my "religious freedom" I do not consider relationships between a man and more than one woman, even concurrent with one another, to be adulterous. There must be some other factor such as one of the women being married to another man.<BR/><BR/>As for Polygamy? I do NOT split hairs when I insist that I am not an advocate of, nor strictly speaking a past or present advocate of Polygamy. What the FLDS practice and I DID practice was Polygyny. Polygamy is an overly broad term encompassing practices such as Polyandry, for which I have no countenance.<BR/><BR/>Toes, I of course refer to the rather myopic view of the law. To say otherwise is to say that the law only cares about the mechanics of such relationships when someone excercises their freedoms of speech and religion and refers (however privately) to their relationships not as man/mistress, but as husband/wife.Hugh McBrydehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16926516260588481185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31762465.post-89624689559559368202008-08-07T00:47:00.000-04:002008-08-07T00:47:00.000-04:00Well said, Hugh!

Honestly caring for the women and children, owning the responsibility of family is the mark of honesty and character.
