Why is it that people will publish bad publicity books about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, when in all actuality it is not the true church, but an offshoot? They are allowed to use the name, but that does not make it so. The true LDS church no longer practices polygamy, and would not berate and humiliate women in that way. The women that I know are wonderful, giving, inspiring woman that love their husband and their children. We are not perfect, but we strive to be the best we can be. Our marriages are not perfect, but that does not mean our husbands marry another woman. These women help lighten the burdens of those around them and enjoy the companionship of their sisters. We teach each other how to help others by doing it. We are the backbone of the Church and are treated as such. We are loved by our husbands and our sisters.
Now do not get me wrong, there are times when all of us wish we were more than one person. In our everyday busy lives we get behind, add to that church callings and activities, we need to be more than one, but that does not mean our husbands get to have another.
It is actually kind of funny, because we live our lives in the open, and the polygamy group hides in the dark. How does that make it the LDS church that does this?
We do so many wonderful things for people around the world that are not even members of our church. We want to help and give so much of our time trying to be Christ-like. We believe that we are supposed to feed His sheep. We send our children out into the missionary world at a tender age, just so we can feed them in more than monetary ways. Food and water are important, but the spiritual health of His children matters. Hence we send our youth so the world can hear the Good News. They do not get paid for going on a mission. They do this so they can serve a purpose that is higher than them. They are truly Christ-like.
How are you supposed to judge if we are for Christ or not? It is by our works that we should judge one another. If a person does good, is that not good for all? If a person does evil, is that not evil to all? Judge by acts, works, thoughts and deeds. If we all did this, there would be less judging more doing.
We have listened to God and have tried to follow the teachings that His Son left us. When polygamy was enacted, the women were suffering and had no husbands to help them. Our church is not the one who created the concept, but we did use it to keep our woman safe and protected in the earlier years of our church. We had been hated from the beginning because people hate that which they do not understand. Besides, if we were not of Christ, we would have failed long before this. No way could the adversary stand against the mayhem that has been against the church. Why would he even bother to try and end the organization of the church if it was his? Wouldn't it be to his benefit to keep a church that supported him? DUH!
I really wish that people would learn the truth instead of falling for the propaganda. After all, what other church has more than just one testimony of Christ, but many testimonies of Christ. Is your God and His Son in a box? Isn't it time to let God work in your life rather than in a box?
