When Kody divorced Meri who he was legally married to her many years, and legally married Robin, it was all down hill from there.
Janelle was not happy when he told her he was swapping Meri for Robyn to adopt her kids. I think she saw this all coming.
People have been making the point that Kody says a bad sister wife takes her children away from her husband/their father, when Robyn literally did that. Completely erased their bio dad from the picture. I understand from Robyn’s perspective that he was a bad guy (I’ve hear other sides) but there are two sides to every story, and just Kody’s staunch assertion and gotcha at Christine is so ridiculous.
Sobyn also took Kody's children from him.
Remember- Kody didn’t change his mind about celebrating Easter until Robin was going to go spend it with her family and leave him at home.
I love your recaps. Truly is a year older than Soloman, and he's ignored her until Christine left. I'm so done with Robyn blaming it all on Christine and the shunning.
Thank you!
The fact that Kody left Truely at home to go get Sol and Ari to take them to the same school Truely went to blows my mind. Why not get Truely ready, then Sol and Ari and drive them all in together. Take Truely to Robyn's to eat breakfast with her siblings and bond daily. Take them all to Christine's after school to eat a snack and play before dinner? If it was really about the "young kids" he would do that.
@@SuperTiffyLynne, very true observation!
@SuperTiffyLynne they were still doing covid restrictions when they left for Utah, so 'they couldn't be in one car according to their 'rules' I'm assuming
@_.peaches._ I don't understand how that works. They can go to school in the classroom together but can't ride in the car together? Mask the kids if they're so concerned. They are allowed to go to school and we saw them on the bus... I don't see how that's any different. Plus, if Kody is traveling from house to house regularly, then he is spreading all the germs between houses.
Meri has been needing to leave for YEARS and yes it's painful to watch. Christine said she needed to get out because she didn't want to end up like Meri in limbo forever being mistreated. Robyn is evil for wanting her to stay in that place. Robyn wants Meri to be emotionally abused forever.
So sad!
The preview for next week seems to indicate that things have been over but Kody hasn’t wanted to end it publicly because it looks bad, so Meri is once again sacrificing herself to make this man look good. So sad.
Robyn & Kody wants to keep the money & neither want to leave face with their order.
I think she went on a live and said she did leave and wanted to tell the public at the time but Kody said no he's getting too much criticism
Robyn is evil, in general. Watching her try to gaslight the public is so cringeworthy. We see her so clearly, and it's definitely NOT pretty.
Robyn wants the other wives' money. That's what Robyn wants.
He is basically saying he only wants a relationship with his kids and Janelle if they accept Robin as the head wife.
Ha! I would NEVER accept anything that Cody and Robyn say. Cody has been pursuing her from day 1. I thought the sister wives were supposed to pick and approve the new wife.
Funny that Kody won’t celebrate Easter, but he lets Robyn’s kids go trick or treating!
Nice catch! I remember watching that, I think it was last season, and found it odd that Kody let them treat or trick.
GOOD POINT!! wow they (Kody-Robyn) keep contradicting themselves 😂
I think they mentioned that when Robyn came into the family she wanted to celebrate Easter and so Kody rethought his position and said it was okay. The same with earrings. Kody didn't allow the other wives to wear earrings, but Robyn wanted to wear and sell earrings so he changed his mind and allowed it. As for Halloween, I remember Gwen saying something to the effect that they didn't really celebrate Halloween much when she was younger so she thinks the only reason they did it was because they had TLC money, but I also wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't Robyn's influence in that as well. This is why Christine says things got better when Robyn entered the family. Kody's rules were a lot less strict. However, it must suck to see he didn't care about you enough to change for you, but he will for Robyn.
I think Kody and Robyn have used the other wives for financial reasons. Robyn is the wife who didn't work outside of the home, yet she lives in a million dollar mansions full of expensive art, furniture and "stuff". Meanwhile, Janelle cashed in her 401k and sold her Vegas home. She gave all those funds to K+R. Now she is living in a tiny apartment with no assets of her own. Also, Meri gave the money from the sale of her Vegas home to K+R. They claim that R+K have Christine the down payment for her Flagstaff home but the money came from the family fund and she paid the family back when her Vegas home sold. When the OG3 left they were not given their share of the family money despite the fact that they were all in an llc to earn the money equally. (TLC money) I don't know how they'll maintain their lifestyle without the other wives.
Oh wow. Thank you for all of this info!
Just to look at how each wife lives says everything’s put where the money goes and the family. Just the one aspect speaks volumes to me.
I find it hard to believe anything Robyn says. She says one thing but does the opposite.
Robyn is two faced And all that fake I am so over her.
Kody has deny, deny, deny for years that he had a favorite wife all while we has eyes. Now we know his LOYALTY to his OG3 wives was down the drain.
His beliefs only change to Robyn’s whims. He doesn’t have beliefs that aren’t changeable to Robyn’s demands.
Thanks for filling in the missing pieces for the majority of viewers who don’t understand how polygamy works! It’s hard for most people, who have no background in this cult, to comprehend why any of these women would stay with Kody. As it is in the LDS church… it’s the eternal religious commitment that keeps many women in bad marriages for far too long. I speak from first hand experience. Watching Kody Brown is like reliving the trauma of being married to my first “eternal husband “ who’s literally a carbon copy of Kody Brown. My husband was also LDS and served a mission. But, he lived like a polygamist having affairs throughout most of our marriage and fathering at least 9 kids with 4 different women… that we know about. It’s probably more and only time and new DNA tests might expose the real number of children he fathered. Today he lives in Cedar City with the woman who was his mistress during the last years of our marriage. He’s buried his past as has the woman he lived with and who literally pretends to be his wife! I’ve also figured out another truth with polygamists. They’re masterful liars. Lol. My ex and his pretend wife have found much success in Cedar City, going so far as to enlist the help of a local polygamist cult to help my ex build a kids sports gym in Cedar City! Yup. He used child labor to build the gym.
Oh my gosh, we're so sorry! We hope all the best and happiness for you ❤️
Does anyone think that Robyn might just want the polygamy thing to continue, to continue the show ie the gravy train??
I am so happy you guys are continuing with the Sister Wives. It's a great way to educate people in a little lighter way. You do so much important education and being a safe place for people leaving the FLDS while educating the public. I'm sure it gets so hard and heavy sometimes. It's nice to just hear about some TV drama. I don't always comment. But I always watch and love your videos ❤.
Thank you so much! We are so thankful for your support and kind words ❤️
Kody can't leave, but he can certainly emotionally abuse them - that's totally fine!
My favorite show, never missed an episode. As a monogamist, I have always been rooting for them, hoping it would be this happy, harmonious family they appeared to be, at least in the beginning. I love all the wifes, but I think Janelle is the intellectual in this family. I agree with you guys about Kody, I am so tired of the “loyalty”. The show never gets boring. I always look forward to Sunday.
What bothers me about all of it is that the whole culture of their religious polygamy is inevitably going to turn the wives against each other in one way or another because they're all vying for affection and resources. When Cody was treating Mary badly it wasn't a deal-breaker for Christine or Janelle. Even when he was treating Christine badly it wasn't a deal-breaker for Janelle. He's been at the very least emotionally neglectful of both of those sets of children and neither of those things was a breaking point until recently and most of those kids are grown. With Janelle being a convert I feel like the belief is stronger in her. Cody wasn't even raised in it I think it was an attempt to get validation from his father.
Truly almost died because there was no medical attention and that's on all of them. Isabel had to wait way too long for a surgery only because Cody didn't want to have to pay for it and then on top of it he couldn't even be bothered to be there.
Robin fake cries and says she wanted this whole big family but if that was true she would have told Cody to get off his butt and go be with Isabel for that surgery that the tenders would be fine. But she didn't because it's not what she wants.
Honestly this show needs to end after this season there are no more sister wives anymore. And I don't think there's really anyone interested in watching Cody and Robin
This is all so sad! Thank you for sharing your insight.
I'm sorry, but Robin doesn't want Kody to mend problems with his kids. Robin is just saying this for TV to make herself look good. Lies, lies.
I feel SO bad for the kids. Kode does not seem to realize or care how his actions affect his kids. As a parent I could NEVER do what he’s doing.
We agree 💯! It is so sad to see so many kids caught up in this mess!
I feel really badly for anyone who thinks that God is going to judge them harshly for refusing to accept bad behavior
AMEN! You got that right.
He said it in the truck with the man with the lazy eye. "Strong men are called to live polygamy"
When you start to get into the seasons, like 12 and above, it gets wild. You were going to be shocked at some of the decisions kody and Robyn both make.
He doesn’t celebrate Easter for his religious views but he celebrates Halloween?
That's a good point! Hadn't thought of that.
Very good point!
Exactly- not until Robyn was going to leave to celebrate with her family. Then he changed his mind. Same as the pierced ears
And he celebrates Christmas…
Imagine how painful it would be if you’d been watching for 13 years like the rest of us lol
Lol good point!
From what I understand Kody was not raised in polygamy, his parents became polygamists when he was an adult lol. He has no excuse. He also said he no longer believes in the faith so his reasoning is not there.
Correct. They converted to AUB when he was serving his LDS mission.
Didn’t Meri change and show him respect and loyalty? So why isn’t she in a marriage with him if that is the bar she has to attain? It seems like he picks and chooses what the deal breaker is with each marriage.
Exactly! He uses the respect and loyalty thing until it's not convenient for him.
Kody is so demeaning to his children and the women in his life. He does not deserve any respect or attention.
This is something that I haven't heard anyone talk about: they believed in the beginning that God endorsed the marriage to Robyn. But it destroyed the family. So how can someone like Janelle still have faith in that God?
Because faith isn't affected by people who twist and destroy things. God is who he is regardless of how sick, evil people twist his words. They're two separate things.
@@DahliaBrynn They firmly believed it was God's will. What do YOU believe is God's will that is actually not that will end in disaster? It's not solid ground to stand on. If it works out, praise God, if not, then we are the ones who interpreted it badly, or maybe if you still want to give credit to God, we just don't understand, his ways are higher than ours etc. Free pass for God always.
Kind of unrelated to this episode, but wondering what Sam and Melissa (and everyone else's) opinion is; about what seems to be the emotional, verbal and financial abuse Kody's first three wives have been the recipients of? When Janelle said, "there's been no abuse or neglect" I was really floored. But maybe I'm oversensitive to, or have a different definition of it, since I watched my mom get played by a narcissist for most of my formative years.
For example, him screaming in Janelle's face? Completely ignoring Meri and pretending she didn't exist? Or the "family account" that all the working wives contributed to over the years and either Kody decided how it was spent or the decided "as a committee", where wives would agree with his decisions to demonstrate loyalty or obedience? Aren't these (just three of many more) examples of abuse? Or am I way off base?
You’re right on track. Kody is a master manipulator and professional at stonewalling and gaslighting. Then when you add Robyn to the mix it’s a recipe for disaster.
If you grew up thinking that this was normal you would not think it was abuse. When you got away from that lifestyle & saw how other families lived would your perspective change. This is probably why the adult kids do not want polygamist lifestyle. That is a good thing to come out of this show.
We also found it strange when Janelle said there hadn't been abuse. Everyone's upbringing and situation changes the definition of abuse. We definitely consider it abuse.
Awesome commentary, looking forward to the next one!
Thank you! 😊
Definition of loyalty is trust,commitment and honesty. I believe he did none of that.
🎯🎯🎯
Kody is dishonest, untrustworthy and no longer committed to his covenants with the OG wives. He doesn’t deserve their loyalty because he hasn’t earned it.
I'm really enjoying these reactions. Obviously for the insights into polygamy and the religious aspects. But I also REALLY like that we get to see you let loose a littlebit and show more of your fun sides. Especially after the Warren Jeffs videos. Yes Sister Wives is sad but it also has some ridiculous and roast-worthy moments. Sam seems to be getting more and more into the series and was even bringing some snark! I'm here for it! 😂
Thank you! 😄
Kody was also talking about each wive to the other wives.
Have you noticed how much Robyn has to say regarding plural marriage in the earlier seasons too , but hasnt lived it, and has alot of pushback with christine eg kody picking the dress, the honeymoon time etc etc , the sister wives closet situation
Backwood barbi said janelle was lying about her religion and her beliefs im glad you understand she dont have to say something about God or tell you shes religious every five minutes to understand shes religious and got her beliefs
Kody wonts respect from Janell ++ he is
Forgetting she paid for his mansion++
NOT HIM+++
Meri’s child Leon (previously Mariah and now identifies as non binary) and Audrey (Leon’s partner and I think is also non binary?) were most likely just starting their transitions around this time. So probably just staying out of the drama to focus on themselves. I can’t remember what state they live in now. They were in Chicago and helped at the B&B some but I think they’ve moved since. Judging from recent pictures from Christine’s wedding it appears that they are both taking T and at least Leon has had top surgery . I don’t follow either on social media but I don’t think they’re that active anyway. I’m just going off recent pics and making assumptions.
I am interested to see if we’ll hear about Leon’s journey. They are in an interesting position as I don’t know what show has ever shown the beginning to end transition for a non-binary person. I would love to have a better understanding of Leon’s journey but I can totally understand if they’d want to be private.
He. @@alixaugustine9599
Cody's lifestyle has done so much harm to all those kids. He changes the rules whenever he wants to. I would like to see the first three sister wives have their own show.
They've been trying not to Google but they don't need Google because their own comments tell them everything, lol!
Yes this entire leave us alone not hurting anyone is crap. We have seen all the reasons prison was the consequence for engaging in polygamy. @@elaineproffitt1032
You guys are such a beautiful couple ❤️❤️ I love the respect you both show to each other whilst speaking.
Thank you so much! ❤️
I love your videos and how you explain everything about polygamy and how it works and you ate so calm when explaining it.😍😍
Thank you so much! 😊
Enjoyed hearing the religious aspect of it. It helps me better understand them.
Thank you! 😊
Yes I cant wait till you watch season 17. Will say that season is alot of discussions outside
It seems like the Brown family abandoned their religious beliefs very soon after moving to Las Vegas. Some say that the AUB didn’t approve of them being public figures on TV. The Browns say that they couldn’t find a religious community in Las Vegas and they refused to allow their children to join other Christian youth groups. They basically spiritually starved themselves and put all their focus into their newfound celebrity status.
Janelle doesn’t seem to follow the religion as she never seems to go to church or mentions going.
Meris child (Leon) from what Ive heard, wants a quiet life out of the spotlight. Also from what Ive heard Kody basically disowned Leon bc Leon is trans and he doesnt agree with it all 🤷♀️
I've watched from the beginning but have sworn off it several times, only to come back again! It's like a train wreck! It has been so hard watching all of these wives and children slowly destroyed! In my unqualified opinion, I believe they should have all stayed in one dwelling and then would have had to work things out and play nice together. I never understood polygamy in different homes! As bad as Cody is right now, he tried to get them in one dwelling - I won't say anymore so I don't spoil it. Living together is part of being a family. Robin never did live with them, as you know from the first seasons you have watched. I'm SURE producers of the show stir the pot and film the worst drama because that causes the ratings to go up! I do believe that children should NOT be allowed to be on reality TV shows! It's exploitation! Look at the Duggars! There should be a law against making money off your kids!
Melissa - I'm with you in that I'm still watching because I want to see what it is that FINALLY causes Meri and Janelle to leave. If Kody doesn't make up with Janelle's kids, that might be her trigger. Meri, I'm not sure other than she might flat get tired of being ignored. I do still think that both of them still believe in polygamy and that's how they will see their family eternally so I can't imagine how they must feel. Thank you for these videos. I love hearing y'all's take on things!
Thank you so much! ❤️
One thing Robyn will never get from Kody is love. I bet you she has heard it about as much as any of the other wives. The fact Kody values her loyalty over love is probably more than enough reason for her to cry every darn episode. You know what’s sad is she probably has her kids walking on egg shells around Kody constantly in their ear. This misrepresentation that Robyn wants Kody to fight for relationships with his wives is a farce. It’s a storyline for TLC because like meri said when it comes down to it meri is alone and has been alone. Robyn is never inviting her to holidays or outings especially if Kody is around. It’s all fake.
Robyn wants the money and the show. Kody will get a rude awakening when, when the show and money end, so will his marriage. I hope we all get to see that lol. Robyn knows exactly what she's doing. She doesn't want to take care of kids and she doesn't want to work. I believe she manipulated Kody to manipulate Mary to get the divorce. You can tell Mary didn't want to do that. At this point they are all still around just to cut a check. They will milk this cash cow till the end.
Meri's child lives in Denver.
I believe Janelle only joined the faith, AUB, when she married Kody. Haven't practiced the faith since moving to Vegas. I think she may be faking for the show.
Kody confuses loyalty and respect with compliance and submission
Robyn is a liar. Wait until you get to the couch confessional in the rewatch where she purposely gloats like a MF in front of all the wives about Kody knowing Solomon's schedule down to bath time, and how Ariella eats better for him.
Robyn is just gross. 🤮
Kody is happy to be around the little kids because he has always been there for them without the hub bub of multiple kids like his other families.Also,the others are older and know what a bad Father he ended up being so they do not go along with his mistreatment of them.
The older bio kids have also been out in the world & have found it is a lot different than what they had been taught. I think Robyn's kids have been brainwashed that their bio father was a bad person & that Kody would protect them. Kody wanted to have the spiritual union with Christine because of her connections to the leaders, it is possible that Kody wanted the children for the same reason. Robyn stated at one time that she wanted a man who could support her & her children. not that she wanted to love him. Robyn was promised when she came into the family that the family would support her & her children & she would not have to work. She also said she thought the family was well to do, at which point Meri laughed & said they had fooled her.
That was a great question about if the husbands leaving their wives and a great answer as we never here of that.
Leon lives in Denver area I believe.
There is a large exit happening from the 2x2 religion right now . One of the many things that is coming forward is the commonalities between LDS and the 2x2’s but from watching you from the beginning I also see those likenesses with the FLDS - I’d be so interested in you doing a deep dive into this cult (2X2) there is a very good pod cast from Trust Me about this with x Mormon host
We'll definitely look into it. Thanks!
Has Kody really changed? Or did what we see on TV change? And perhaps when the wives had their own homes and money, and sense of independence perhaps they woke up?
Kody doesn’t like to be questioned so….
To begin with Christine was alright with Robin. I remember her reaching out to her and trying to be her friend. When she would not let Christine help with the care of her children it was like a slap in the face to Christine! Kody is the bad sister husband!!! In the beginning Christine was totally pro Robin! Robin just wants the other wives money!!! She has never worked!!! She was the recipient of the million dollar home!!! Meri’s daughter lives in another state. They were in Chicago at one time attending school, but they do not live near by. She was in Utah for Christine’s wedding.
As you get a few more seasons along you will start seeing Robyn manipulating the situation concerning the other children. Starting with Hunter after the move to Las Vegas. Watch for it. ❤
So many times throughout the series the wives talk about how amazing Kody was as a husband, as a father. In this most recent episode Christine says whistfully what an AMAZING husband Robyn is getting. Is she???? I don’t remember seeing anything that showed Kody being an amazing husband or dad. Did I miss something? Or are these women’s lack of relationship experience coloring their perception of what a great husband is?
I heard Robyn won’t let them film in the house and I saw Kody film lifting weights in the garage, the garage was packed, I was wondering is Robyn a hoarder, is that why they can’t film there
Janelle needs to lawyer up!
Kody wants loyalty but does not realize that LOVE tops it all. How can he think that the Lord could love and condone what he is doing to his children and their mothers. Kody needs to take a look at himself and realize that he is not being LOYAL to the Lord and will not end up in heaven.
AND we all know that Kody and Robyne discuss the other wives together about what each has heard.
Fascinating to understand it from an actual polygamist.. or participant of it .
He was talking to his brother-in-law in the car this season that all great men through history have had more than one woman. Yuck.
Yes , I love the fake foot in mouth. I agree so much about loyalty and respect sick of hearing it also. You are talking about a human not a dog lol
Mary has a child who doesn’t want to film. Their name is now Leon, they are trans and from what i understand they don’t want to film the show. Not sure if Leon has relationship with Meri but Meri says she’s an Ally in social media. I’m trying to explain this respectfully lol
Kody is a narcissist…plain and simple. It’s his way or the highway.
I think Cody is only worried about the money
I love your reviews! I don't think commentary on the Browns can truly be valid without at least a basic understanding of Mormon beliefs and culture--both mainstream and fundamentalism. There are several channels that critique them and the show; however, none of the content creators are LDS. Their content is entertaining, but lacks substance. It is opinion not perspective. Thank you as always.
Meris kid Leon lives quite a wsys away with their partner. Its a complicated relationship
I’ve also been watching Escaping Polygamy, 2-3 of the rescuers have spoken at a conference on Sister Wives. They portray polygamy on 2 different pages. I know “reality” shows are part fiction for ratings. I wonder which is closer though.
You will never really see Mary let go. She is wishy-washy all the way to the end even when she leaves she says I'm not leaving the family I'm just moving my business. Mary never actually leaves leaves. She never breaks up with him like Janelle and Christine have.
When Robyn said she wanted to live in a polygamy relationship all the way back when she was a young girl then why wasnt she living in one when she was only married to her ex husband?
Leon & Audrey are married & live in Colorado.
Mary’s kid is in Denver and married.
Robyn took her kids away from their father. Hmmmmmm....
There are many things I don't understand about this family. I suspect that it is rooted in their faith. Is there a rule why they cannot tell the greater world war hing their show? I could really understand why Kody does what he does because of the Patriarchy if that is a tenet of their faith.
Thank you for filling in the gaps that TLC won't fill in.
I really don’t know how people can actually believe all these lies ????
I always thought they were kicked out of the AUB for going on TV 🤷♀
We have also heard that.
Of a religion they haven't followed for over a decade. Kody is a second marriage dad. Leon lives somewhere west coast
Was robyn pulling the "you got to be with another man" to break the spirual marriage completely.... outta her arse?
It makes sense that a large part of men’s identity and desire is to have respect or be shown respect. That’s not unusual, But for Kody he’s turned it into his end all be all measuring stick to whether someone is worthy of your love or even just existence. Nothing else matters to him and his ego.
That thing he said about Passover sounds like he has been listening to Messianic Christians like Father Joe of Shofar Mountain and those kinds of RUclips channels.
If Janelle is still believing in the importance of spiritual marriage aka her religion, then why is she drinking alcohol ?
Great question! That's a tricky one because some of the fundamentalist Mormon groups allow alcohol.
The Word of Wisdom was just advice, not a commandment, until relatively late in church history. I guess fundamentalists peeled off before then.
I also wonder if these people think that God doesn’t see them on a day to day basis?
You should watch season 17 as it shows how Christine left and why and how Kody reacted to Christine leaving as his behaviour was terrible.
and there is some evidence Kodys father was very patriarchal, or tough, father issues may have just as much influence on him as his polygamy following
Great point!
Yes, his dad Winn seems like he was a really harsh man. He and Janelle didn't get along either. I'm thinking Winn was a "my way or the highway" type of guy.
@@whiterose9343just like Kody and sounds like that Wynn was very tough and Kody followed his behaviour.
how do soul mates work in in polygamy?
I find it interesting that the modern welfare state promotes polygamy through the division of the family. What I mean by that is when women are single mothers, they can collect a welfare check to replace the husband in the home. Then the man is free to move on and have children with other women.
God is love, hugs and love sent from cali, praying for all.
one guy I know has 11 children with 9 baby mommas.
My stbx was all about loyalty, obedience, etc. We weren't raised polygamist, but he decided the Bible doesn't forbid it, and used his version of religion to manipulate me into staying (along with coercive threats). He also decided a husband can’t rape his wife because he owns her body, so that tells you where his mind is at. He thinks he's a prophet and told me, and his second wife, and the woman he wanted to add that he was a prophet and it was God's will to be together.
I finally got out, but he's already lying to and manipulating the kids against me.
That's the bible for you.
@@Volleyball_Chess_and_Geoguessr not my bible...
@@DahliaBrynn Why do so many Christians read that then? The bible is ALL about obedience. And women are presented as property in the bible, like being listed with a man's other property in Exodus 20:17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
Virgins are valuable, but are not when they're not virgins, as if that's their worth, and there are verses about paying the father if they take their daughter's virginity, like they have wronged their father by defiling his property.
In Job, he loses all that belongs to him, including his children, as if they don't matter other than being his property. And in the end, his children are given back to him - and they are different children! Like as if the individuals don't matter. All is restored. He's got the same number of kids again. Humans are definitely seen as property in the bible. Tons of slavery, God's totally fine with slavery.
Individual humans don't matter - genocide away, that's the bible. And you think this leads to good things?
@@Volleyball_Chess_and_Geoguessr If that’s all you’re taking away from the Bible, then you’re reading the wrong version. There’s so much more to it than that.
As far as the virgin issue, that was Old Testament, and was situational in the rules of the era. A lot of that was no longer an issue in the New Testament, and women weren’t meant to be treated like property.
@@DahliaBrynn Sure if you ignore tons of it. Call the actual bible the "wrong version". God done messed up. yes he did.
Did I read that right? 18 seasons!? Or does it just feel like 18??
You read it right!
18 seasons but not 18 years. Show premiered in 2010 so around 13 years.
Kody doesn't even go to church so he needs to quit using religion as an excuse for using women for money.
They can’t celebrate Easter, but they can/Do celebrate Halloween????
As far as meri’s child they live in Colorado now with their partner I think for the most part they are estranged from their family.
Do you think that Kody Truly understood polygamy as his parents only came into the religion much later in life.Maybe he didn’t understand what was involved and would love your opinion on this .
Thank you for the question! I (Sam) think that Kody convinced himself that Polygamy was necessary for salvation. I don't believe he had a clue what it was going to require to make it all work.
Why did janelle say she was open for another marriage like she had with Kody. It’s like what the hell!
From the good days
It’s so pointless. Breeding is a huge factor for these families. What’s the point? She’s done having kids.
@@asshhdoll The religion teaches you can't get into heaven without being part of a family with at least 3 wives I think.
The longer it lasts the
More money he makes+++he doesnt have a job++@
He should treat his wives with respect!!!
