Oh that's great. Quote Mormon Doctrine. Sorry bud, but that is not an authoritative work.

As far as a woman being sealed to more than one man, you are technically correct, but actually wrong. Young widows are free to remarry, and though they cannot be "sealed", it is believed that such arrangements will be straightened out after this life.

As for myself, I find this doubly amusing, because you are overlooking the fact that it is possible for a sealing to be cancelled (most common equivalent would be annullment in Catholic doctrine). I know this because my wife was previously sealed to a loser husband. She had this sealing cancelled, and we are now sealed. I suppose that under the right conditions, a young widow could have her sealing to her first husband cancelled if she wanted (though I am not certain).

I have known many men who have married young widows, without being sealed. They do so under the belief that it will all be straightened out later.

As for "Mormon Doctrine", again, it is not considered authoritative, though some inside the church make the mistake of using it that way--and it annoys me to no end. Bruce R. McKonkie (sp?) was a very intelligent man, but he was not commissioned by the church to write that book, nor has it ever been officially sanctioned. Compare that to, say Jesus the Christ, by James E. Talmage, and you will find quite a difference in how it is handled. Church leaders rarely, if ever, quote McKonkie on doctrine. Talmage's work, however, is frequently quoted (and is was commissioned by the Church president at the time).

I hate to tell you, but I've heard all the arguments against the church (numerous times). Yes, polygamy is a difficult spot, since as you say a man may be sealed to multiple wives, but not at the same time. A man may not, at this time, be sealed to more than one living woman. Period. If she is dead, then what do you care?

If you aren't a believer, then our doctrine of sealing and eternal families shouldn't bother you, since you don't believe that anyone is married to anyone after death. The LDS church is the ONLY church that teaches the doctrine of continued marriage after death. Personally, I find the idea to be very wonderful. I love my wife, and to be able to spend eternity with her would be a blessing beyond measure.

As a side note, don't post AC, even on these topics. It really hampers responsibility. I try to avoid it at all costs, even when it means saying something that might hurt me, or cause me to be labeled as a troll.
