This may be a really stupid question, but why do these people listen to him? What makes him "king"? If someone decided to reassign your wife or marry off your underage daughter, or any of the things this man is accused of, why would you listen to him? What is his power?

Why did so many people follow Jim Jones to their death? These people believe in poligamy, well most of the men do, It's harder for women to break from this cult than an get away from an abusive husband.

This isnt about whether it is legal to marry more than once or not. Its about a man who hides behind his religion and says that everything he does is gods will.

This guy and all his followers are a bunch of kooks. I was watching a TV show about them and all I can say is people can be like sheep all they need is someone with a bit of charisma to say what they want to hear and they are off and running.
At the end they had one of the wives who had fled with her daughter speaking about the cult. She said it wasn't a religion but a farce, all the men wanted were harems and they used religion as a way brainwash and obtain them. I would have to agree with her, its a shame to see people used like this.

My Sweet Submissive: What they do with the extra men is they find a way to get them out of the vicinity of the women and girls. They find some excuse to banish them from the premises. There was a very sad follow up to this show by CNN host Anderson Cooper, called "The Lost Boys" . It was about all of these adolescent guys who'd been kicked off Warren Steed's (or other Polygamist clans') property on some flimsy excuse - with nothing but the shirts on their backs, really because they were "competition" for the self-appointed head honcho of the clan (or his friends) as far as being attractive to women and girls. Although apparently, many adult males have been banished as well, for the same reason.

There is apparently a group home(s) started for them in Utah by an ex-Polygamist clan member, where they can live and finish school, and see what they want to do with their adult lives. Some of them may never see their families again. It was so sad.

I had enough trouble with one when i was married - yes there was someone stupid enough out there to marry me lol.
I presume the mother in laws would be to busy being married off to men and then reassigned to other men to interfere much.

Well like LotusSong says:
When hearing this story for the first time..I thought- gee, D/s in action. The dream of having a male just run your life, being there to take care of your husband, helping your sister wives.. every subbies wet-dream.

Mostly they listen to him because he lies, he doesn't tell you as a potential wife that he's going to keep you barefoot broke and pregnant. He tells you he's going to take care of you according to some divine plan. That you'll only have to be a "good mother" and he'll take care of the rest. If this fool and his notion of polygamy seems offensive here in the good ole' USA remember that there are many places in the world where this is the norm. Where safe sane and consensual don't apply.

hahaha it wouldn't be my wet dream. I don't share I am the only girl my dom is going to have. If he wants more I'll turn him loose so he can find a stable. But I don't do stables.
