I do not see how me having many partners if I choose to would bring me closer to God. Ditto on both counts, but as long as their husband is fine with sharing her with other men (otherwise it's polygyny and... yeah), I guess it wouldn't be all that different from any other kind of polyfidelity assuming, as is implied, that the relationship is polygynous, do you consider that intrinsically problematic or merely suspect? Intrinsic. Multiple relationships rely on openness, not restricting one gender but not another.

Specter Posted at 1:17 pm on Dec. 2, 2011 If this is a FLDS reference, I remember reading that they are building their "celestial army" for God, which is accomplished by having as many children as possible. More children=Larger celestial army=Happy God. So, in a sense, according to their beliefs, yes, sharing your husband does in fact bring you closer to God.
