I notice they also swear* and drink coffee Eachand*. Lds members don't. (As a general rule.)

Yes it was bizarre not as repressive as a of orthodox groups. Did it say where the women had come from I missed that bit.

Bold fail in my post above!

I've just caught up on this, but rather perplexed as they are supposed to be fundamentalist Mormons, but they seem to be too lax to even be ordinary Mormons. The way one of the widows found an "outsider" would be strictly forbidden in FLDS, where everything has to be run past the elders first. I do wonder how much of it is staged for the camera.

The Rock seems to be a relatively new community set up in rural Utah, to allow people to,practise polygamy. They seem to be living by their own rules.

Anyone watching tonight? I think it's the last one

TheFifthKey · 13/04/2017 21:22

Oh goodness, she doesn't sound sure about it at all, does she Sad

This Christian character is only back in the community for the sex on tap.

countycouncil · 13/04/2017 21:25

However... I think it's ridiculous to prosecute them. It's a lifestyle choice. And surely you can't pass a law with the sole intent of persecuting one small community. They're not bigamists. They're just mad.

jobvcareer · 13/04/2017 21:29

I agree they shouldn't be prosecuted. Seems abit heavy handed. Yea they are alternative but they're not really hurting anyone.
Personally I can't get worked up about what other people do with their sex lives.

TheFifthKey · 13/04/2017 21:30

Yeah, I don't know how I feel about it really. They're sort of brainwashed, but no more than any other religious community. And there doesn't seem to be much coercion - it's consensual, and they're all adults. And the overall community life looks fairly stable and supportive - I've read about other polygamist communities which were very dysfunctional and cult like. However it's hard to judge from what you see on TV. Very mixed feelings really.

I think the ban is more to do with fraud as in claiming benefits as a single mum etc. I hope they show a bit more of the arguments for the ban

jobvcareer · 13/04/2017 21:37

Yea Christian is a dick.

JayZed · 13/04/2017 21:39

Thank fuck potential second wife did a runner he's a fucking nutter

TheFifthKey · 13/04/2017 21:42

Ugh, yeah, all this "I don't know what I did" - you creeped her out, weirdo!

Aeroflotgirl · 13/04/2017 21:48

How come there was only male voices speaking up at the protest, women are expected to follow and accept things as they are.

paddypants13 · 13/04/2017 21:50

I agree, Chris is bloody awful.

I think the law should be passed but those already living in polygamous "marriages" should be granted immunity from prosecution. It seems cruel and unnecessary to break up existing families.

countycouncil · 13/04/2017 21:53

What is it with American people and chewing gum?! I saw a bride on that Say Yes To The Dress show chewing gum on the alter.

TheFifthKey · 13/04/2017 21:54

I was thinking that about Chris 😂 Stop chewing!

paddypants13 · 13/04/2017 21:56

It was all I could focus on, I even missed the sex because I was watching the gum.

TheFifthKey · 13/04/2017 22:00

Ha! It's a girl!

TheFifthKey · 13/04/2017 22:01

Oh so Enoch is getting another wife...

Aeroflotgirl · 13/04/2017 22:01

Oh no,Lydia asked to join cock nose family and their getting married😩😩😩😩

Dulra · 13/04/2017 22:02

So they did ban it seems fair enough that it will only be acted on if linked to other criminal activity.

So Lydia rose came back Confused

paddypants13 · 13/04/2017 22:03

Oh Lydia, I had such high hopes for you. Sad Still, if I had to choose one of the men it would be Enoch. He seems the nicest out of the bunch and his wives seem genuinely happy.
