I must hurry and call HBO to renew my subscription. One of the best shows on TV
-- and an accurate description of how our polygamous brothers and sisters live
in Utah!
I love how the church and it's members always pretend to be "shocked" by the
Mormon/polygamy association. "That was like, over 100 years ago, get over it!"
But, until the church clarifies it's very obvious pro-heavenly-polygamy stance
(and by extension it's anti-female-agency stance), it deserves all the HBO
distortion.
this goes out to "Yup, that's right" boy, it must some kind of place that you
live in? Why is it so important to talk against the LDS Church? Do they actually
bother you, do they make your life hell? I am amazed at the pleasure that people
get out of tearing something down that means so much to the people that are
involved with it. I love my Church and nothing that anyone says will change
that, but it hurts that people are so hurtful.
I think that it is a fascinating show. For the LDS, it's fiction.
I
used to believe that LDS was some crazy cult compared to Christianity, now that
I know that they are all equally ridiculous, it puts it all into context.
Whatever helps a person get through the day is fine with me. LDS,
Christian, Buddhist, whatever floats your boat. COEXIST
I love this show-- it's my favorite on TV! And it actually gets Mormon culture
pretty accurately. I was going to volunteer to be a creative consultant, but
they already have Mormon consultants to keep it real.
I don't know why this article is even on Des-News???? Does the LDS church want
it's members to watch this junk for a reason? Do they advertise and want there
people to be influenced by Hollywood's lack of moral codes and standards?
If you are 'so'
upset about the mockery people make of the marriages your religion has done in
the past, why do some in your religion actively work to deny marriage to
others?
How is this article reflective of Deseret Mgmt.'s new mission statement of
championing virtues and respect? This show is a slap in the face to
virtuosity and respect (esp. to the owners of this newspaper).
"Do they advertise and want there people to be influenced by Hollywood's lack of

So my question is what were Joseph Smith
and Brigham Young's moral codes when they instituted the practice of polygamy??
- and if you say that it was necessary during that time... why did it last so
long???
Hmmmm.... as someone else posted above "harlots and pimps -
thriving on immorality...
Like it or not, I canceled my subscription to HBO.
Who cares?
Gasp
I can't wait! It's one of my favorite shows.
Yep, more HBO filth on Harlots and pimps. Hollywood thrives on immorality.
I wish I had cable just to watch this show. It always sounds funny and entertaining. I know I would laugh at this stuff too.

I love the americian way, show no respect, but expect respect back. No wonder the world is so against you.

Who's your favorite wife? Marjean?
HAHAHAHAHA!
"I am amazed at the pleasure that people get out of tearing something down that means so much to the people that are involved with it."
Did your church or did it not tear down same-sex families in it's crusade against same-sex families?
"I love my Church and nothing that anyone says will change that, but it hurts that people are so hurtful. "
Stop being so hurtful to others and you might discover that they are not hurtful back.

Barb, I gotta agree with the poster at 8:18a.m.

Prop 8.
You stop being hurtful first.
