Latter-day Saint author Carol Lynn Pearson laments the LDS Church's new attempt to teach kids about polygamy.
Carol Lynn Pearson writes, “Children will be indoctrinated with the understanding that if a ‘man of authority’ tells us God wants us to do something we believe is wrong, we are to do it anyway.”of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This year, the global faith is studying church history, so it’s not surprising that the issue of plural marriage would come up.
Carol Lynn Pearson, author of “The Ghost of Eternal Polygamy: Haunting the Hearts and Heaven of Mormon Women and Men.” I began to hope. Surely these good men would find a way, quickly or gradually, to rid our people of this harmful doctrine. Joseph’s polygamy came from his own creative mind, never from God. Eternal polygamy never was and never will be a reality. Please have peace of mind. Please sleep well. Please give this awful Ghost not one more ounce of your energy.
