It has just become apparant that @Carla Diaz and @Brian Fernandez were both insincere, and posting leading questions that would incite extreme responses. There is a high chance that they were looking for evidence to build a case against either individuals, or the ministry as a whole, as being fundamentalist child abusers or something like that by prompting statements they could then take out of context and use elsewhere. The discussions they started have been removed.
Be very wary of this. This is a place to discuss what the Bible really says about things. But, it is on the open internet, and it is very easy for statements to be taken and used against you, or even against others here or the ministry as a whole by association.
Definitely continue to speak the truth. However, be wary of new members asking probing questions. And if the topic is one that is controversial, think about what your statements would look like if taken in isolation from the remainder of the thread and ensure sufficient context is given in your post itself.
Obviously nobody here would ever encourage the abuse of either children or women. On the contrary, the very purpose of a ministry like this is to support people in their marriages and childrearing, and help to prevent abuse. The fact that polygamy has a bad public reputation due to certain high-profile Mormon court cases in the USA over the years only highlights the need for ministries such as this one, just as abuse in monogamous marriages highlights the need for other marriage ministries. We're working to prevent abuse. But there will always be those who want to twist our words to pretend otherwise for their own nefarious reasons.
