Hello, fellow outlaws (bigamist, science-denying, hate-speaking, sexist bigots). Feels good to be hated together. I'm sure the day is close when we will be hunted again as Jews and Christians of old. On the day we all flee to the mountains, I hope you will find me there. The Ouachitas are beautiful any time of year.
I tried to join this forum many years ago in its old format, but the technology of the time was no match for my ineptitude. So I read several topics that served to feed my hunger for truth and confirm my discoveries on the topic of polygyny, and then moved on to other topics and forgot this site. I was still new then to the knowledge of the Word. I mean, I had read the Bible from cover to cover a few times, had attended churches with my parents, and had professed faith and been baptized, but didn't really know the Word. I knew the traditions of men. I think many of you can relate. I was in the process of dismantling the religious foundations of my worldview and rebuilding on solid rock. I was a few years out of college and into a new career and wife. Had a new baby, a first house, and big question marks inside my head. God had awakened me sometime during my college tenure, shaken me to my core, which I may share with you about sometime later. I am still in that process.
Currently I am discovering my somber purpose as a husband and father, the image of God, as well as the joys of that knowledge and the fulfillment of that purpose. I now have two wives, seven children, a new job, a new homestead, and new question marks inside my head. The journey has been an immense undertaking, and not without it's cliff hangers. I don't know a single place I can fit into society anymore without hiding the truth. But I guess our calling is not to fit in.
I came back to this forum because someone recommended it to me after seeing my posts on Instagram. That's enough for him to know who I am and to know I didn't lie to him about going to check it out again. I successfully made an account this time, but continued to lurk/ignore for the most part. I felt a prick in my heart today, and God showed me that part of the reason for my lurking was pride and fear, so I think it's come time to introduce myself and join the conversation more fully and honestly, even if the FBI is also lurking. At least maybe we can be flogged together and sing hymns in the cells together.
A bit more about me: I'm 35. I'm a bit scattered as far as hobbies. I dabble in carpentry, wood turning, brewing, distilling, gardening, animal husbandry, meat smoking, and reloading. I'm working on putting in a 45-tree orchard and beehives this year. Hoping to have sheep next year. Would love to glean information from anyone about those topics as well as farm tax planning. I'm also kind of a wiz at excel, especially macros, if anyone needs help with that program.
Neither of my wives are on here at this time, and it will remain that way until their currect social portfolios have room. One of my wives is from the Philippines. If you need a connection there, let me know.
