Christian dude w/ 39 Wives!

Do you know what "Chana" Christian sect means from the article? I've never heard of this sect before.
 
i don't know, maybe it is just me, but it seems a tad excessive :D

I'd like to know as well. Maybe a properly constructed google or bing search...

...or maybe their sect is too small (400 families, but if each is that size :eek: ) to have any Internet presence other than on news websites.

I, too, think that is a bit excessive, even with viagra. :lol:

PolyDoc,

If you find out what it means, please post it. I think others would be interested, because 400 is a nice size church. We only have about 200 where I attend.

Michelle,

I'll see what I can find, if anything. That news article Cecil pointed us to said the entire sect, not one church that is part of the sect, consists of 400 families. That one family is, by itself, larger than the average church in America!

Can you imagine taking the family out to eat? Or on a vacation?
Charter a fleet of Greyhounds... :lol:
 
Michelle,

It appears that This mans father who's name was Chana was converted to Christianity at some point and was most likely a Polygamyst founded the sect in June of 1942.

I've searched to find some basis of belief but have found none.
 
So did the man count as one family or 39 families. And if his grandchildren are married how many families does that add on. It might just be him.

Honestly I would only want to marry the maximum number of wives that I am able to meet their "marital rights" anymore would be unethical in my opinion.

After around 8 it gets really questionable.

if each get 1 hour every other day or half an hour a day that is already 4 hours per day with only 8 wives.

I think approximately 4 might be good not because of the Quran but because about 1 hour per day per wife would add up to 4 hours per day.

That being said I am not yet married (as of when I posted this) to know these things. But I heard something about medical warnings with certain medicine and a certain number of hours per day somewhere either from T.V. or somewhere else....

No I was not merely thinking about this out of..... I simply want to have a large number of wives and I have to be responsible it is not all about me getting ..... for myself but they deserve a right to .... if they want to. If I marry so many that they do not get all the .... they need/want then that is irresponsible.

That guy probably does not provide enough ... for his wives otherwise he would have had more children per wife. Although he might enjoy ... it is not good for the wives.

I would like to know however how he convinces woman to marry him, don't they see he already has more than 20 and think they might have to wait more than 2 weeks to ....

He could be on Polygamist eye for a Monogamous guy and share how to get married easily to help monogamous guys who are having trouble marrying even one wife get married at all.
 
I must ask...

My mother is slowly dying of cervical cancer caused by the HPV virus given to her by my libertine father years ago when he was 'living it up' while they were married. So my question is, how would all the wives protect their health in such extensive relationships?
 
It does say India

I guess I was not reading close enough

When I saw Chana

Perhaps it looked like China. I thought I read China somewhere but I do not see it anymore.

A single letter...... :oops:

I made an error in my early writing below the person was clearly written as being from India not China

I am sorry she is dying. I wondered if that is a rhetorical question or one meant to be answered. I do not mean disrespect by answering. I am wondering if you mean 39 vs. a smaller number like 3 wives or 12 wives.

It might be safer for a man to marry 10 virgins than one woman who has been with 2 men, if one of the men she has been with has only been with her and a prostitute and the prostitute has been with at least 10 men who have all been with multiple woman who have been with men. What I mean is that serial monogamy can be equivalent to having sex with hundreds of people even when you only have sex with one person who could even be the very first person you married who just happened to only have sex with one other person than you.

Did you know in South Korea multiple people can drink out of the same cup and it is perceived as fine but not in North America. In S. Korea they have a common school drinking cup by the water cooler, I tried to explain about mono but no one understood. The one cup thing has nothing to do with being poor S. Korea is materially prosperous. I think there has been a history of less serial monogamy there so it is safer,although recently serial monogamy is running rampant but it has still been for less years than the U.S. Of course you are talking about China not S. Korea.

Historically divorce has been highly frowned upon in S. Korea (at least divorced women, I do not know about men) and polygyny was allowed in S. Korea so other than prostitution there was very little serial monogamy to my guestimation (on account of divorces being frowned upon and in some cases women literally being forbidden from stepping outside the gates of the house without their husband's permission) so I guess there would be a lot less STD's there than somewhere with serial monogamy and prostitution. S. Korea shares a lot of culture with China(it is the "dagger" between China and Japan that both countries consider to be both the threat and protection from the other country) so it might have been similar in China until the one child policy, communism and other Westernizations came along.

No, it's an honest question. If a man is sleeping with numerous women, even if they are married, or what have you, how would the women individually safeguard their health? I understand it would be easier for 2 or so, but this story makes me think a lot of cooties are being passed around.

Also, I thought one of the main reasons sited in these discussion threads, for marrying multiple partners, is taking care of widows and single mothers....

Just wondering...

What is with all this inference you put on female virginity as it is the biggest protection against STDs in a family. Do you know that men transmit more viruses than women? Also, many men don't get symptoms like women do and therefore are more likely to pass on an infection than a woman is. Chlamydia is the STD ala Mode and men can pass it on and be symptom free.

Some women can end up with STDs having very, very little sexual experience, some others can have a few notches and have never caught so much as a cold from a sexual partner. Sad but true, you never know, the best thing you can do is be educated and get tested.

First of all, I believe that this story came from someplace in india, not china.

Second, to answer the cooties question: Presumably the saving grace is in the closed circuit-ness of the family. If the first man and wife are without STDs, and each new wife is without STDs, and all sexual satisfaction is found within the closed circuit of the family (whether that requires females assisting each other in a hareem of 39 women being a separate topic), then it follows in logic that no STDs should be introduced.

And yes, to my mind with a Christian motivation towards PM, the widows and single moms issue is the driving force. Not an urge to collect virgins -- oops, got married, no longer virgins. Don't quite understand that one!
 
Nevermind starting a thread about" "that" topic. Apparently, the subject ruffles feathers.
 
Don't worry. The thought of DOING so prolly gives most of us men the heebie jeebies as well. But the story and situation is definitely interesting.
 
Gidget & Polydoc,

Thanks for the info about "Chana" keep posting if you found out more.

Sorry to break up the STD sex thread going on now. Ewwwwwww.

I think having 39 or more wives would be great if there was a way to do it without violating Exodus 21:8-10, safely and ethically I would have as many wives as possible. But I do not see any ethical and safe way to do that at the present time.
