A man who tells the
world that he wants more wives will nearly always experience great
persecution... from his wife! This is obviously not the type of
persecution we have come to associate with religious persecution. And
yet, it is extremely painful. If you have endured this kind of
persecution then you know that it is more painful than if you had been
put in stocks in the public square. You have been looked upon with
hatred by your wife and been told that you must pretend that your God
given urges, which you're convinced can only be righteously satisfied
by having more than one wife, are dirty. Maybe this is not you. Maybe
you have kept a painful silence or maybe you're simply seeking the
truth. Whatever your situation, we are here to lend support and
Biblical doctrine that can help you.
However, there are men among us, polygamists, who claim to
be ministers but make a mockery of it. They preach to be popular and
not to make God's Word known. They make hypocritical and ascetic
pronouncements that compound the pain of men dealing with unsupportive
wives. Why would they do this? They have theirs. They have already
acted on their need to have more wives. Now they have become pious in
their pronouncements and blind to the reality that men with a need for
more than one wife face. These men claim that the desire for intimacy
had nothing to do with their taking more wives. If that is so, imagine
the poor additional wives, undesired! Of course we know this is not the
case. Another reason why they do this is because their wives
financially support them, imagine two wives to support you. Some so
called ministers are living this kind of lie! They're not even
man enough to get a real job and support themselves and their wives!
Finally, such men fear losing the government non-profit status they
have. Hypocrites they are! They've got their additional wives and now
they want to stop other ministers from taking additional wives by
preaching their so called love not force doctrines. Worst of all, they
claim that if you are not "called of God" to take another wife that you
are committing a sin! They speak against Rome and Matriarchy and yet
they are more dependent on women than the average monogamist minister.
Can you imagine a minister claiming that you must be "called of God" to
take your first wife? It is no different when a polygamist claims that
you must be "called of God" to take a second wife. Both declarations
are unscriptural and unholy. God provided a wife to Adam as a helpmeet.
It was Adam's need and not Adam's calling that led God to provide a
wife for him. By laying claim to having been "called of God" into
taking a second wife such polygamists are in effect, claiming that they
have been anointed? This would be the same as if men who had one wife
claimed that by having taken one wife they had been anointed. That it
was the outward manifestation of their anointing.
Why do we criticize some of those who
practice polygamy, the marital state that we believe may be for us?
Because we must prevent polygamy from becoming a cover for immorality.
Neither marriage to one woman nor marriage to many women should be used
as a cover for immorality.
So what
should men with more than one wife who are laying claim to the ministry
do? They should support their wives without asking other men to do so.
They should stop trying to support their wives through the guise of the
ministry. They should separate from those wives who have not been
divorced according to Scripture from their former husband. They should
withdraw from the ministry rather than change their ministry for they
have been liars. Finally, they should confess publicly that their
ministry has been nothing more than an attempt to earn a living.
Because of
the tremendous amount of unscriptural and unscrupulous misinformation
that has been given out by other so called ministries to the
polygamous, we have chosen NOT to be a ministry to the already
polygamous. You don't need a ministry such as this. You have your
family and your wives. If you claim you are persecuted but live within
the borders of the United States, you are lying. Grow up, you've got
more than one wife! You better be grown up!
On the other hand, men who seek polygamy but whose wives
are hostile to the idea, are isolated, alone, and often distraught.
This ministry is for them. Such men typically have wives whose reaction
to the concept of polygamy is so great that they never broach the
subject again. Many have lived in nearly intolerable marriages since
the moment they brought up the concept of polygamy, even in theory.
They often fear the loss of their wife, children, and even their
business, in the event of a civil divorce. It is sad that marriage has
come to mean submission to women in today's world. But for many, that
is the case. We will be adding information to this website that helps
such men protect their assets and parental rights as we proceed.
For
such men, there is hope! This website is a starting point for many of
you. For others, it is a last resort in your quest to feel whole. We
will work together to pray and make you whole again.
Again, this website is NOT for men who already are living
in successful polygamous unions. How in the world you even have time to
view this website is beyond me.
So this is a starting point. Let's begin.

Prince of Sumba, Husband to Many Wives
This Book presents Christian Polygamy
Theology in the
form of a novel. It contains nearly all of Pastor Don Milton's
teachings on polygamy and many arguments favoring polygamy that you
will not read elsewhere. The story will introduce you to some
interesting characters who defend polygamy. Meet Prince John, the
Christian polygamist, who grew
up in a land where no one would ever have guessed that the rest of the
Christian world was against polygamy. Meet the Christian missionary,
Ishmael David (Ish), sent to witness to polygamists. Laugh and cry, as
you see the lengths to which the single Christian ladies go to convince
Ish to take them for wives. Meet Mary, Ish's loyal wife, who struggles
with her new discoveries about polygamy. Her reactions are both
humorous and endearing. Listen as each character presents Christian
theology and history as never before. A Christian Evangelical End Times
Novel. This novel contains over 385 biblical and historical footnotes.
Note: This book is NOT about Mormon or FLDS polygamy.

A Dialog on Polygamy
First Reprint of this Rare Book in 273
Years!
In, A Dialog on Polygamy, the Famous
Italian Reformer;
Bernardino Ochino, presents both sides of the polygamy argument, and
it's
HILARIOUS! Ochino plays the part of a sixteenth century priest, which
he was, while Telypolygamus plays the part of the advocate for
polygamy. On December 2, 1563, Ochino was exiled from Germany for
publishing this work. Some say the German Reformation ended that day.
He and his children were sent out into the harsh elements where three
of them died of the plague. Ochino died a year later.
In addition to the original translation, I've included my own modern
font version which includes many editorial changes. You'll notice that
I've introduced the nicknames Ochy and Tely for the characters. I find
this preferable to identifying them with letters as the original did.
If you're a purist,
please, read the old font version. To find the old font version, open
the book just beyond the middle. The pages are numbered the same in
both versions to make cross referencing easier.
Had Bernardino Ochino not been exiled for writing on polygamy, he might
have had more to say on the subject. Certainly there is more to say and
I have done so in many of my own books. If you enjoy dialogs such as
Ochino's, I've written a novel titled Prince of Sumba, Husband to Many
Wives. Its characters argue for and against polygamy, I must admit;
mostly for it.
