Merrywives' Blog 
Millennial Star, issue of April 30, 1853:
“And further, when you see also the gross and beastly sexual abominations that are practiced and are increasing among all nations, without shame or fear, you will not marvel that God is determined to raise up a righteous seed and glorious branch, by re-establishing the Patriarchial Order, as in the days of Abraham, Jacob. David, Solomon, and Elkanah. Neither will you marvel, while the Spirit of God is upon you, that man and even women should sneer at the sacred institution of marriage being under the control of God, as it was in the days of Abraham.”
I find it interesting that the majority of citizens can participate in any sexual configuration — numbers, ages, genders, and it is practically winked at, but the polygamy groups are being ‘encouraged’ to make statements concerning the members in their congregation, and maybe even neighbors (seeing how we are all lumped together) and what they will do. Can they manage the affairs in their own church, or congretation, or neighbors that live on their block, or predators at schools? I will sign a statement that says “We teach correct principles and let people govern themselves”. This also includes consequences for wrong doing, which applies to all. Living this Principle according to the 132nd Section of D&C is certainly not wrong doing. We have already stated how Centennial Park feels about underage marriage, education, welfare fraud, abuse, neglect, domestic violence, substance abuse, and have a record (video) of our statement. As does PVoices and many others, and Paul and Mark were there. What next…..dare I ask?
