This reminds me of the old Baptist joke…”Why do Baptists not believe in sex standing up?….It might lead to dancing!”
I was raised Baptist but we danced at home! I dance in church now! Not Baptist obviously!
😂😂
This is so funny bc amongst ultra Orthodox Jews there's a lot of things that are forbidden or discouraged because they "might lead to mixed dancing" between men and women. Basically it's a euphemism for sex but also reflective of the over scrupulosity of avoiding something that might lead to something that might lead to sex
I was raised Baptist (1960 and 70s) and in in our family we had no problem with dancing. I loved that joke as a teenager. I loved to dance to rock and funk. Mom and I loved watching Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Ginger Rodgers and the dancing on the old variety shows. (Sony and Cher etc) I loved the Jackson 5 as a young teen.
They weren’t excited that Robyn was pregnant because Kody was already struggling to provide for his current children.
When the husband wished for another Sarah to cuddle while the first was in the kitchen, she should have expressed a wish for another husband who would help her in the kitchen so they would get done faster and then relax together.
BINGO!!! Perfect comment.
Exactly! 😂
I remember watching the episode and thinking that that family was definitely doing polygamy because of the sexual aspect and the husband was twisting the Bible to suit and convince his wife. I didn’t like it. And you could get the vibe that the Browns were uncomfortable with their version of polygamy too, and I think they were picking up on the same thing, that they’d stumbled into a sexual arrangement rather than a spiritual one 😬
Thier therapist said Kody always gets what he wants. Kody didn't like pretending to seek the wives opposition. He did what he wanted always. He just pretended to seek options. Its pretend democracy and an actual autocracy
Kody was a hypocrite, he held hands and kissed Robyn before they were married
And quite possible way more then that cause I don't believe he drove 5 hours each way every weekend to sleep on the couch.
More than that
Dubbel standards. He is definitely no example and he is creating the wife's to feel degrading in public
I would imagine the investment deal never came to fruition because of the Browns. They didn't seem particularly diligent about running the business in an organized fashion so I always assumed that they didn't follow through on getting that done, especially with all the other things going on with the family over the next few years.
I was raised in something called "the full gospel movement". A cult. Yes. But I was born there and didn't escape until my mid-twenties. "It's better to marry than to burn" was used to discourage sex before marriage. It was also used to justify the preacher arranging marriages! I wanted to attend college, then get married. But my preacher TOLD my boyfriend and I we were getting married and he then booted a single mom and her son from a church apartment (into a small house, away from our church neighborhood) and said my bf and i were moving into that apartment! We asked for none of this, but going against the preacher was akin to going against God! So glad I left! I left that marriage too. All at once.
That’s not a church it’s a dictatorship! I was raised Baptist and was very active in church and youth leadership! Not once did anyone kick anyone out of church for any reason because problems or whatever is what church and brothers and sisters in Christ is what church is for! Run if a preacher tries to marry you off! That’s not his job! In our youth group we studied the word and were told what we should look for in a mate but…we would have run if a preacher tried to make us marry! That’s not a church!
Wow
The business has been down for years. Nobody but Robyn wanted to do this business. The whole kids kissing episode is so funny since the kids had to have seen Kody kissing Robyn while Christine was in labor-- before they were married.
The website and business has been up and down. Last I heard a month or so ago it was up again but the other wives jewelry on sale or something
Janelle, Meri, and Christine are/were actually quite independent and demanding in their own way. Kody wanted acquiescence and obedience. (Don’t think he will get that from Robyn anymore either.)
He actually has never got that from Robyn. Robyn just basically makes Kody THINK he’s running that show.
You ask if animals feel jealousy. The answer is yes, some of them do, or at least appear to. (Dogs, for instance. ) It does require cognitive complexity, for sure!
Mules too! I have had one for a couple years now and do a lot of research on them. My Stanley is jealous at times when I pay more attention to the donkeys than I do him. According to some experts this can get kind of crazy and the mules might even pick on pasture mates after their "human" has left!
@@LisaHouserman I watch a channel where there are 2 emus, and the one emu is jealous when the other emu gets even a little bit of attention. The emu that is jealous was there before the second emu was brought in. That same channel also has a donkey, and that is the only other animal on the farm that seems to get jealous when attention is given to any other animal, just as you explained.
One of my 3 dogs is definitely jealous. But when I pet one of the other dogs. So unless he thinks I am his mate, and he hasn't shown me he does, it isn't based on mating. But other animals might. Especially when "courting" for breeding or getting a mate. Or is it just competition?
Yes, but no shame. They beg for their needs, demand their wants
This jewelry business was one of the silliest things ever. Who is going to want to buy this stuff? It seemed geared toward polygamists but most of it looked like a five year old "designed" it. UGH leave it to Robyn!
I’m so early this time! I’m not even religious but I love your channel because you are such intelligent, thoughtful people 🥰
Thank you so much ❤️
I remember on an episode of Seeking Sister Wives (the relationship didn't work out but) the plan was for the husband to have a bedroom and the two wives would which share a bedroom. They had a twin beds. but of course most nights one or the other one of them would have been in the husband's bedrooms. So I don't think it necessarily has to be as scandalous as people are thinking.
That seems even weirder. A LOT weirder. Who shares a bedroom? Sisters or roommates. And neither of those should be sleeping with the same man. At least treat the “wives” like grown up women and give them their own freaking bedrooms.
I remember that couple... that relationship didn't work because the woman they were courting was scamming them for money. She had no intention of leaving her home country and marrying this couple. She only wanted their money (n possible child to have more money)
Thank you for another video, Sam and Melissa!
Your channel is one of my favorite channels here because I love the advocacy work you both do.
Thank you so much! ❤️
Nathaniel is divorced fro Rebecca and Christina, Christina lives in Florida now,
Thank you so much for the update!
Janelle and Christine raised their 12 kids together. They depended upon each other to make their world go round. How much Kody was or wasn't involved didn't seem to matter, and Meri was happy enough as long as she got to do things her way. So the fact that Kody says he was never in charge of the women, I 100% believe. I think he initially viewed their loyalty to each other as being loyalty to him, but once he stopped being respectful of them, they just removed him from the equation.
With Christine getting upset about Kody and Robyn potentially talking about having another baby, I get it. He wasn't a good dad or partner when Christine was pregnant with Truely (and probably the other kids), and it had to have been very tough for Christine to see him being that for Robyn. I don't think it bothered her with Janelle or Meri, because Kody wasn't a better husband to them than to her. I think them talking about having another baby was just triggering those feelings of abandonment and jealousy that she never really let herself work through.
I always assumed the whole patriarchal rule thing was a tie-breaker and fail-safe. If the women don't agree, let's see what Big Daddy has to say. Also, to prevent the women from banding together against an abusive husband/system.
Or as I said earlier. It could have to do with reminding Robyn about how heartbroken Meri is about not being able to have kids
@@brendaest8449 That is an interesting point. It could have to do with that too.
Yeah, there is polygamy in the Bible, but it’s never endorsed by God. Joseph Smith’s doesn’t come from the Bible, it comes from his own hardened heart and selfish desires.
Social animals tend to understand fairness and can become demonstrably jealous/envious in specific situations.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing!
I just discovered your channel, your video’s are so interesting! All the best from The Netherlands! 😊
Welcome! We're glad you found us and thank you so much for the compliment 😊
Initially the family made decisions together. In Vegas they turned into 4 different families. Cant tell if it was a Robyn thing or just a lot more money. Maybe, the investment offer was only for TV. Like the anthropologists that came to study them to write a paper about them that never ever happened. It could've been a TLC thing.
Enjoyed listening to your perspective. The Biblical polygamist family seemed to confuse the Browns when trying to understand them. It would have been interesting to hear more about the differences between the two schools of thought.
Great video. I agree with you guys. Good seeing you guys Sam and Melissa. ❤
Hi Jennifer! ❤️
of course animals experience jealousy. i have two pugs, they're both jealous!
Online it says that both wives have left Nathanael Richards.
Thank you for this update.
I just finished Flora Jessop's book and I think she mentions one of Sam's siblings..She said she and her friend went off-roading with a Kevin Z****** (and someone else but I can't remember his name) whose dad later became the mayor of Hildale. I just thought, "whaaaat?! I know of that family!"
Flora's book was truly horrifying in terms of recounting some of the abuse she suffered at the hands of her father. But that story about off-roading was reminiscent of what a childhood SHOULD be full of..Just having some fun and goofing off with peers 💜
Wow! So interesting. Thank you for sharing this. It sounds like she is referring to my brother 😊
Flora is an absolute spitfire. I love her.
Janelle was married to Mary brother.
I don't think Sister Wives Closet has been up & running full speed for yrs. Don't quote me cuz it's been soooo many seasons ago, but I believe it was talked about getting shut down in a later season. I'm suprised the website is still up. I swear it was shut down a few yrs ago. Maybe they relaunched it at some point after needing money for Coyote pass, which still isn't paid off to this day. Maybe someone else remembers the exact details a lil better than I do.
Thank you for the update 😊 Yeah, we found it odd to see the website still up. I didn't go through the whole buying process so maybe it doesn't work anymore.
Fascinating.
Kody has made his own version of religion ... he was raised LDS - became FLDS in his 20's - Kody was not indoctrinated in FLDS so he made up how he wanted his family to go - hence all the wishy-washy, hairbrain, helter skelter version of polygamy
He is AUB not FLDS
Love hearing your perspective on this show, you give so much more context that I had no clue about!
As a Swede it is so interesting hearing about mormonism and the type of communities that exist. I am a little curious to hear what you think about countries like Sweden which is one of the least religious countries in the world. In Sweden your faith (if you have faith) is a personal thing and something most people keep private to themselves. From what I've understood about religion it is often considered better to be a believer in another faith vs being a nonbeliever. So what do mormons think about nonbelieving countries like Sweden? (are we all going to hell?)
Janelle started and owned a business that was successful for a number of years. Kody also owned a business.
What business did Janelle have. Are you thinking plexus?
@kirielbranson4843 No. Years ago she had a small business called EZ Pantry, which provided marketing, design, sales and trade support for the food storage industry in Utah.
@@teena4rl211 I wish they would talk more about this on the show
22 minutes, this was similar to my experience, my husband had been reading the Bible, and following some blogs that discussed polygamy, and talked about it for awhile before deciding he was going to do it.
I doubt he'd ever admit it, and he's fully convinced himself he believes he's a prophet, but I'm pretty sure it's all about his sex needs. I couldn't service him at the level he wanted, and he couldn't handle that.
😢
We are so sorry to hear this! We hope the very best for you ❤️
Great video!
Thank you! 😊
Could the reason why Christine walking out have to be reminding Robyn about Meri’s feelings about her not being able to have children
Robyn didn’t know how to do the business. She needed the wives to run it for her. Janelle did not want to be a part of it. Kody pushed it. I think that’s when the women realized he was all for Robyn. He would never see Robyn’s faults and wesknesses
I think Robyn wanted something that would join the other wives at the hip to her. Janelle called it a "hobby" business, but you could tell she wasn't all that into it.
I’m up to season 10 right now (came late to the party) and I STILL can’t get behind all the hate for Robyn. I just don’t see her as the villain people make her out to be.
Be didn’t love these women. I believe him. He just collected mommies. To fulfill his dream of polygamy. Have a bunch of kids. Fulfill his principle, have the elders pat him on the back, be in Gods favor, and have lots of swx with multiple women. And those mommies will take care of him and the kids. All he had to do was give them babies. And if you’re not having a good time with one, you have another to go to. Which ever one amused you that day. But then it became work. So add a new young exciting one. Expected the women to keep their faith to serve God and their husband. But he took them away from church and community so he could be their leader and savior and expect obedience. This way the elders weren’t around to tell him and wives what they should be doing.
I don't remember my mother having her last child in her bedroom at all. I think a lot of people do but not everyone.
PLEASE cover Christine and David's wedding. Have you heard that Katie Joy at Without a Crystal Ball has reported that David.has family living polygamy; married into the Mexico LeBaron group. David's nice was one of the women who was gunned down by drug cartel in 2019.
Wow, so interesting! We plan on covering their wedding next week. Thanks!
I believe David said he had sisters who were in polygamy but he did not want that lifestyle
sorry, but there is no instance of people being called to polygamy in the Bible. There are instances of people choosing polygamy because of their own selfish reasons, and did not going well, but there are no successful examples of polygamy in the Bible. God allowed it because of the hardness of men’s hearts, and for the care of woman
This is my view. I also wonder if Joseph Smith kept bugging God about this so much that God finally said now you have to live this way or else since you will not shut up about it. Kind of like what happened with the lost 116 pages.
Polygamy has always been a disaster - just to varying degrees. And you are right, it is not supported by the Bible.
Joseph Smith changed it in the book of Mormon. The Abraham take is totally different.
I mean, Jacob was a polygamist, no? Also, what exactly DID go well for any of the biblical figures? The Bible isn't full of happy sunshine tales........even Noah's family wasn't free from heartbreak and trauma.
@@lauracorsi3309 I don’t believe Joseph Smith ever spoke to God. If anyone he spoke to the devil his behavior after supposedly speaking to God speaks to the fact that he was more than likely speaking to Satan.
I think it’s a lot harder for the husband to be in complete charge when the families are separated and he’s working a lot to try and provide for them. The wives get a system established when he’s not there that he probably isn’t involved in, so he’s more of a visitor. I agree with the family meetings. How are the wives supposed to know what they’re doing as a family when they never get together as a family to plan or talk?
They really don't talk about the money for it... but I know that for sure alot of investments fall through when they can't make a contract. For all we know they wanted to and Cody didn't like the terms and so just said that on the show. Or the numbers didn't make sense.
So…have you guys ever owned 2 pets at once? If one is cuddling with you, the other can get very jealous and push the first one off your lap. I do believe animals get jealous but as far as relationships go, when no around, out of sight out of mind.
Can you sure any Bible passages that state that God allowed it because of the hardness of men’s hearts? I know the Bible says that about the Israelites desire for a king but I don’t recall any such thing about polygamy. I don’t believe in it but I do believe God was ok with it in the OT.
Were you guys aware of the fact that
Question: As a Mormon, are you encouraged to only date other Mormons? I had crushes on a couple LDS guys in high school and I’m curious why they didn’t date much.
Hi and great question! It depends on location but yes, it is commonly encouraged through the church to date like minded people.
Yes, you are told over and over to only date people that want a Temple marriage.
Please review daughters of the cult.
Planning on reviewing it very soon. Thank you!
Great looking forward!! @@GrowingUpinPolygamy
I am interested in your opinion on what is worse. A cult that is involved with sexual exploitation or a cult that is involved in murder.@@GrowingUpinPolygamy
Im not sure thats a matter of better or worse. @shalomorenstein2769
If you want more info on the same case from multiple perspectives, the Deliver Us From Ervil podcast is SO good
Didn’t most of the biblical men have many wives? They still do in the east.
Would you be ok IF your children chose polygamy in the adulthood?
I would NOT, personally. Because with polygamy comes suffering.
Personally, I would prefer my kids explore polyamory. Polygamy comes with too much misogyny built in.
Polygamy is mentioned in the Bible and God has rules of how the wives are to be treated. Slavery is mentioned in the Bible and God has rules of how they are to be treated. He never ordered participation of either. I wonder if early on, Smith tried to get the slave thing going again.🙄😳
The bible never commands, instructs or condones polygamy. It documents it. It shows mankind disobeying God and going their own way by not practicing marriage as God said it to be. The bible shows the sin of man and all the problems polgamy causes just like it shows murder, worshipping false gods, and fornication- never condoning it. Some men in the bible practiced cultural polygamy that God never called them to do or commanded them to do. The first few chapters of Genesis explains the biblical model of marriage of male and female becoming one flesh denoting a union of two people into one. That is all God says. If you have multiple wives that is not one flesh. That is uniting for lack of better words multiple fleshes. And look at all the problems polygamy caused men in the bible: examples are King David killed in order to marry Bathsheba and Abraham took on a concubine Hagar to bear him a son since Sarah was still barren at age 90- wow, the problems of that one is the root of Arab people against the Israeli people. Polygamy doesn't work. From a biblical perspective God created us to have monogamous male/female marriage.
This is why christ came into the world. The new testament has to be taken seriously. No polygamy in the new testament....and in the old testament mostly it was the kings who had concubines...they were not considered wkves. The threshold the end of the book of revelations in the Bible God specifically warns every single person NOT TO ADD OR TAKE OUT anything from his word..the bible. Joseph Smith or other mormon prophets saying God told them things needed to be taken out or added to the bible...they are liars. God himself put the last ...period and last sentence and last word in the Bible and the Bible stands on its own. God would never ask anyone to change what he spoke because he has asked or told us to be warned if anyone adds or takes out or changes his holy words...they will not be going to heaven. The new testament and the old testament mesh. In the book of Daniel in the ot. Has prophecies about things that will be happening in the nt. Read read read always ask God for his wisdom to understand his words. Very important to do what God Our father has told and asks of us.
When it comes to polygamy, Christians have unequivocally told God..HE IS WRONG. All religions based on the bible pick and choose what laws handed down by God are good and which ones are bad. So God is not all knowing since he didn't know polygamy was bad. Stoning gays to death is bad, etc., etc..
