Brian 2.0:
Some women are Sealed to more than one husband. But it is not common.
While living true, after the woman dies though, it is quite common.
When you climb up a ladder, you...begin at the bottom...ascend step by step, until you arrive at the top...so it is with the principles of the Gospel--you must begin with the first...go on until you learn all the principles of exaltation. But it will be a great while after you have passed through the veil before you will have learned them. It is not all to be comprehended in this world. Joseph Smith
The newsroom should have stated that men cannot practice plural marriage with more than one living wife for clarity. Funny how the newsroom omits that men can acquire more than one wife in this life, and have them all at once in heaven. Anyone who has concerns about plural marriage will certainly be interested to learn this little detail. Maybe they can use 'milk before meat' as an excuse to withhold this information until they are 'ready'. But I guess that's probably harder for them to pull off with the internet these days. I wonder if polyandry will be mention in Mormonism 201...
Whether intended or not, you just affirmed the old adage: "regardless of what the church may do in good faith to clarify its beliefs and history, the 'belly-achers' will be with us always."
For as their laws and their governments were established by the voice of the people, and they who chose evil were more numerous than they who chose good, therefore they were ripening for destruction, for the laws had become corrupted. (Helaman 5:2}
