But the comments would seem to be consistent. If that is actually you Mr. Lamborn, congratulations on removing yourself from the LDS "church". It is not easy for most people to do, especially when they have been a member as long as you.

I was of course, very much aware of polygamy in the church, after all, I have polygamist on both sides of the family tree. I was unaware, as are most members of the church, of the depth and breadth of the polygamous and polyandrous relationships entered into by one Joseph Smith, Jr. I took a poll in my High Priests Group of about 25 men, and NONE of them were aware that Smith had married a 14-yr old or that he married women that were already married. Yes, I needed to pull my head out of my ass and I think I succeeded, but only after extraordinary effort on my part. This information is NOT freely disseminated among church members. I really didn't have heartburn with polygamy when I was a member per se (now I do), but after reading "Mormon Enigma", I did have heartburn with the secrecy, the deceptions, and general transparent womanizing of Smith. I actually asked for a quiet departure from the church, but somehow got into an escalation of testosterone with the Stake President. Judging by how I have been treated since the article, it was absolutely the right thing to do. No regrets here. Good luck trying to keep the mishies off your doorstep! I like the rag, Alan.
