Welfare receiptsPOLYGAMY IS ADULTRY AND FORNICATIONS AND ILLEGAL.
Since men can only marry one woman he is committing adultery and fornications. Polygamy was allowed in the bible for a reason but the new covenant change that to one wife. GODs original intent was one man and one women.
Gen 1;27,2;24, Matt 19;3-6, 1Cor 7;2. There is no Christian religion that allows polygamy.
And many crimes are connected with polygamy in the name of religions when in fact it is lust to commit immoral and criminally acts. And I would like to know if Romney is elected if he will go after Fundamentalist Mormons like he plan to go after Illegal Aliens.
Church leaders have encouraged their flock to take advantage of government assistance in the form of welfare and the WIC (woman-infant-child) programs.[citation needed] Since the government recognizes only one woman as the legal wife of a man, the rest of his wives are considered single mothers and are eligible to receive government assistance. The more wives and children one has, the more welfare checks and food stamps one can receive. By 2003, for example, more than $6 million dollars in public funds were being channeled into the community of Colorado City, AZ. In his book Under the Banner of Heaven (p. 15), Jon Krakauer writes that, "Fundamentalists call defrauding the government 'bleeding the beast' and regard it as a virtuous act." Carolyn Campbell ("Inside Polygamy in the '90s,", 102) adds, "The attitude of some polygamists is 'the government is untrustworthy and corrupt, and I'm above it, but give me those food stamps and free medical care.
Birth defects
The Colorado City/Hildale area has the world's highest incidence of fumarase deficiency, an extremely rare genetic condition. Geneticists attribute this to the prevalence of cousin marriage between descendants of two of the town's founders, Joseph Smith Jessop and John Yeates Barlow. It causes encephalopathy, severe mental retardation, unusual facial features, brain malformation, and epileptic seizures.
