WOTM: Polygamy
I think this is my first video ever on Mormon polygamy. For decades, I had an extremely close connection to a woman who was very proud of her Mormon heritage — which went all the way back to Nauvoo, Joseph Smith, and Brigham Young. Of course, that pride includes her ancestor's polygamy (six wives!). The disconnect is that this woman would never have allowed her husband to... have another (and another, and another). Somehow, despite finding the idea deplorable, it never seemed to cause even the slightest bit of doubt. Is there anything more able to create cognitive dissonance — not polygamy, but religion in general?
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! SO MUCH!!! I really couldn't do this without you gals and guys. I'd be laying in a ditch right now if it weren't for you. Of course, I enjoy ditch-laying more than most. But that's not the point. I'm know how lucky I am to be doing this — and to have your support. So, one (many) more time(s)... thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Enjoy! And I'll see you soon.

I want to ask missionaries. Why can’t I have more than one husband? That would be great. One to run the ranch, one to fix things, one to help with the garden. And all 4 for me...ehem.
At 1:20 you say you know you are going to get in trouble for it, but the joke fell flat for me. I have no idea what your marriage was like, but because of Mr Diety I have an affection for "Lucy". The joke made me wince because it felt a bit like you were asking me to choose sides -- yours specifically, and she isn't even there to make it a fair contest.
But then that's been Lucy's job since the origin of the series, or as we long time Mr Deity apostles refer to it, "creation". One of the main reasons for the "adversary" to exist is to test us by sowing doubt and confusion. To make us stumble off our righteous path and question our faith and commitment to Mr. Deity! LOL
I dig the premise. I wonder, though, when I point a finger at someone from a marginalized group (women/minorities) if it's not punching down. Yeah, women do still vote for Trump. It makes 'em an easy target. But maybe I should focus on the 50+ something white males that share my demographic and start there. No diss intended. Just a thought.
