I’m going to DM you to talk more!

It is like learning that the color you called blue....is not really blue. It is that BIG! I was raised by parents that believed polygyny was moral. I was also raised mainstream mormon....so I had to question and sort a TON of other docrinal...

This was a verse that I had questioned too, and after some digging it blew my mind how it has been translated to fit cultural norms. Yes, this is what I am struggling with. the more I read and understand the more I question what I was taught. It...
