Sister Wives

Lewis · Mar 27, 2011

I have looked at this show a few times just to see how they think. This is the 2nd season. And as a matter of fact I am looking at it as I type. These are good people but they are twisted to a degree. But years ago I would have loved having that many wives.

Sister Wives is an American reality television series broadcast on TLC in 2010. The show documents the life of a polygamist family living in Lehi, Utah, which includes patriarch Kody Brown, his four wives and their 16 children. The seven-episode first season ran from September 26 to October 17, 2010 and drew strong ratings according to Nielsen Media Research. Sister Wives has been renewed for a second season which will be broadcast starting March 2011.

Brown and his wives have claimed they participated with the show to make the public more aware of polygamist families and to combat societal prejudices. Brown has claimed his polygamist arrangement is legal because he is legally married only to one woman, and the other marriages are spiritual unions. Nevertheless, legal experts have claimed the series could leave the Brown family vulnerable to criminal prosecution.
One day after the series began, Lehi police announced they were conducting a bigamy investigation into the family. The Utah Attorney General's office has not ruled out seeking criminal charges against the Browns, but stated they do not have the resources to go after polygamists who are not suspected of serious crimes such as child abuse or child trafficking.
Sister Wives is an unscripted television series that follows Lehi, Utah, advertising salesman Kody Brown, 41, and his wives, which includes his three wives Meri, 39, Janelle, 40, and Christine, 37, and their thirteen children among them.It also televised Brown's courting and eventual marriage to a fourth wife, Robyn Sullivan, 31, who herself has three children. Sullivan is the first new wife to enter the family in 16 years. The only legal marriage is between Kody and his first wife, Meri, while the others' marriages are considered spiritual unions. As of the September 2010 debut, Kody has been married to Meri for 20 years, Janelle for 17 years, and Christine, who is the homemaker, for 16 years. Kody and Meri have a 14-year-old daughter named Mariah. Kody and Janelle have six children: daughters Madison (14) and Savanah (5) and sons Logan (15), Hunter (13), Garrison (11), and Gabriel (8). Kody and Christine have six children: daughters Aspyn (14), Mykelti (13), Gwendlyn (8), Ysabel (6), and Truely (newborn) and son Paedon (11) Robyn had three children from her first marriage, which was monogamous: Dayton (11), Aurora (8) and Breanna (6). Meri, Christine and Robyn were all raised in polygamist families, but Janelle was not
As a fundamentalist Mormon family, belonging to the Apostolic United Brethren Church, the Browns' faith does not align with the mainstream LDS church. The title of the series, "Sister Wives", refers to a concept prevalent in Mormon fundamentalism that the wives in a plural marriage not only marry the husband, but are eternally united to each other. For years prior to the series, the family kept their polygamist lifestyle what they called a "quasi-secret". Both Kody Brown and his wives have claimed part of the reason they are participating in Sister Wives is to make the public more aware of polygamist families and to combat societal prejudices often associated with polygamy.

I am so sick of these people and even sicker of the media for glorifying their disgusting way of life. Just because people put on a nice facade doesn't mean that what they are doing is evil. We don't need to be desensitized to immorality.

Talk about putting lipstick on a pig!

they fought! they fight today too. in islam one doesnt live with each wife the husband rotates.

why do you think hagar was kicked out of the tent of abraham? i'm sure that old abraham went back for seconds and thirds etc. :lol

lewis, you know like i do that is a male fantasy and that is why i cant see for the life of me why God intended it, one cant serve TWO masters.

racheal and leah competed for love. read the accounts.

Lewis · Mar 27, 2011

What I am saying is, at one time multiple wives was legal in Bible times. Solomon had what 700 or something like that.

reba · Mar 27, 2011

Watch it guys that dream could turn to a nightmare in a real hurry... :rollingpin

actually no, god didnt permit that he tolerated , and those 700 wives are the reason the kingdom was rent into two as they turned the heart of solomon.

and theres a verse on kings not having polygamist marriage.
leviticus 18:18

Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.
Deutermony 17 15Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother.

16But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way. 17Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.

The truth is, God NEVER intended polygamy. His design is one man, one woman as stated in Genesis.

Genesis 2:23-24 NLT
23 â€œAt last!â€ the man exclaimed. â€œThis one is bone from my bone,
and flesh from my flesh!
She will be called â€˜woman,â€™
because she was taken from â€˜man.â€™â€
24 This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.

i meant to say if God intended polygamy he would have put in context, in all the stories its allways negative
samuels mother being barren . to be without child was a curse and also i meant the hubby loved you less.

i know my wife she wouldnt share me at all.

Amen. Every instance in the people of God where polygamy was practiced, heartbreak and misery visited them.

Yes I know about Leviticus, I think when the earth was young God permitted such to populate it. I am talking before the Torah.

the story about jacob and abraham are before the torah. the pentateuch is what you mean the torah is exodus to deutronomy.

adam only had eve as wife his entire lifetime, surely to populate he could have married his kin. yuck.

noah didnt.

Lewis · Mar 27, 2011

Jason the Torah includes Genesis too. But Adam and Eve had other children than just Cain Able and Seth. They had girls too and incest did take place.

not to be argumentive the torah means the law not the first five books of the bible that is called the pentateuch(this includes the torah)

yes adam and eve did , but one would think that some time of other wierd marriages would be, but there isnt. if you notice cain had one wife, and also lamech said to his wife(not one of his wives) on killing a man. notice that if the bible mentioned more then one wife it stated the name or more then one wife. by logic we cants say that he or they didnt have polygamy just that for the most part till jacob its not mentioned. why? i dont think god wanted it and if it did happen ,there was no need to state that in bad context as well look at jacob/racheal/leah and abraham and hagar/sarai

david and his wives and solomon and his wives. did job have more then one wife? nope and by tradition its believed, he lived before the time of abraham.

Lewis · Mar 27, 2011

Well if it was not incest how do you explain it ? I have not talked about this in years. But the bible does not mention everything some stuff you have to figure out. Like incest among Adam's kids.

again if he used incest then do we now say that we can marry our sisters? think about it lewis. even if polygamy was ok prior to the flood or a brief period after does it make it ok now? nope. looking at the stories of polygamy in the bible it doesnt support it all.

would you stay faithful to the older wife or go and get a new model, and have the best of both. that is why i know that its not good.
