Alone on an island with his three wives.

Here's a video worth watching. It highlights the problem for polygamists when Christianity arrives on the island. The guy that wants to be able to have four wives is an interesting character.

Very nice story. I have a new dream, have multiple wives and move to an island in the south Pacific.

Thank goodness a religion came along to save thier family.

Love that video. How cool...

If the gospel that was presented was the truth of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, that's great. But it's a tragedy it came with the false teaching of monogamy-only and divorce.

Funny thing is, he separated from some of his wives but gave them part of the island, so how far did he really separate from them. Me thinks, as soon as the missionary ship left, everything went back to normal. I think Mr Marsters did the right thing when they left. Surprising how many children were there during the video. Some pretty nice buildings for a supply ship to come every 8 months.

The NZ government is very generous!

This is actually an interesting view into how a plural family could sustain itself.

Didn't watch it all, but what I did see was very interesting. Thanks for posting.
