Familyof4 Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 I have heard that starting the first of the year multiple sealings are no longer allowed.For example if I a man is sealed to his wife and she dies....he has to get the sealing cancelled before he can get sealed to another wife. The below has now been recinded. Plural marriage is an eternal law. The Church never rescinded it. The Manifesto applied to earthly polygamy.What is the reason? I have been told: It has fulfiled its purpose. This is a big win for me personally since I have always denounced Polygamy.
Calm Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Documentation please.The only way it could be completely rescinded is if all prior multiple sealings were considered canceled as well including any one done in proxy work.
Familyof4 Posted June 26, 2006 Author Posted June 26, 2006 Go to the temple and do a sealing...that is all the documentation you will get. Sorry...the Church has no obligation to publish this new policy.
alannasaunt Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Go to the temple and do a sealing...that is all the documentation you will get. Sorry...the Church has no obligation to publish this new policy. I don't understand your first sentence, here. Actually, they do need to publish it if they don't want the members to waste valuable temple time. No one would want this to be true more than I would, but I am VERY skeptical.

alannasaunt Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Familyof4:"Sorry...the Church has no obligation to publish this new policy."CFR CFR = ?

Whether or not they have an obligation to do so, it would be inconsistent if they didn't as there are instructions on how to proceed with sealings in the genealogy manuals. They will have to change these if this has somehow become invalid.
Freedom Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 I have heard that starting the first of the year multiple sealings are no longer allowed.The church manual would have to be changed. If you mean this year then you are wrong because i was at the temple last week and performed a sealing for a woman who was sealed already to another man. (by proxy that is).
sibling Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Familyof4:"Sorry...the Church has no obligation to publish this new policy."CFR CFR = ? The Council on Foreign Relations. This is a deep conspiracy.
selek Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 "Sorry...the Church has no obligation to publish this new policy."In other words, you can make any fantastic assertion you wish, then hide behind the Church when called to account. If they fail to deny your unfounded claims (as if the Church would bother to responding to so insignificant a nuisance), your claims become "true" or "justified". This smacks very heavily of "when did you stop beating your wife?"Come on, Family of 4- put up or shut up. Where's the proof?
Number 9 Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Oh, what nonsense!If everything that anyone ever "heard" came true . . .Seriously, the gossip among church members is just out of control.Who cares about polygamy? Why does it matter so much to you that you would post what is clearly a rumor like this? Which do you think is more important, whether or not you believe in polygamy or whether or not you spread rumors? Personally, I'm going with the rumor option.I guess I'm a polygamist, technically speaking. My husband, who I am sealed to, is still sealed to his ex-wife. Frankly, my dear, I don't give a rat's patootie! I trust the Lord enough to know that things will work out fine, and I don't lose sleep over this issue.It's always funny to me how those who have such a problem with it are those who aren't involved in anything to do with it. Those of us who are just really don't care.
Familyof4 Posted June 26, 2006 Author Posted June 26, 2006 Start of 2007, this is what I was told. No one else has had this told to them?

urroner Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Start of 2007, this is what I was told. No one else has had this told to them? No one has told me.
alannasaunt Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Start of 2007, this is what I was told. No one else has had this told to them? Nope.Who was your source? Who was their source?I've done quite a bit of temple work and this would be a MAJOR paradigm shift.
onelowerlight Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Start of 2007, this is what I was told. No one else has had this told to them? who told you?
Familyof4 Posted June 26, 2006 Author Posted June 26, 2006 I am uncomfortable naming names or positions. So I will just wait for confirmation from another Temple bee
Who Knows Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 alannasaunt:Call For References. Thanks. Eventually I'll catch on to all these acronyms. FWIW/FYI, TSS is the king of acronyms. HTH.
elect_lady Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 I have heard that starting the first of the year multiple sealings are no longer allowed.The church manual would have to be changed. If you mean this year then you are wrong because i was at the temple last week and performed a sealing for a woman who was sealed already to another man. (by proxy that is). So, she was sealed to two men? Did I misunderstand? I didn't think that was allowed.
thesometimesaint Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Who Knows:Not so much the King, as too lazy for my own good.
bluebell Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 So, she was sealed to two men? Did I misunderstand? I didn't think that was allowed. It is allowed if the woman is deceased and was legally married to more than one man during her lifetime (such as if she her husband died and she remarried).She is sealed to both husbands because no one would know which one she would choose to spend eternity with.It is an LDS belief that she would then be allowed to choose which one she wanted to be sealed to for eternity....It is not allowed for a woman who is alive and remarries (who was previously sealed) to be sealed to another unless the first sealing is canceled.
liz3564 Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Start of 2007, this is what I was told. No one else has had this told to them? I'm curious...Where did you hear this? Was it a temple president? A temple worker? A Stake President? A Regional Representative? I'm just curious as to your source.No...this is the first I've heard of this.
alter idem Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Start of 2007, this is what I was told. No one else has had this told to them? No. What temple were you at? Who told you this? Was it in writing or did someone mention it in passing? Did you ask any questions? It would probably help if you could give more information since you are the only source for this new change so far.
