Is MOP Church a bad place to look for women?

If you regularly go to a Church where the Pastor teaches the monogamy only position (MOP.) Is it not a good idea to ask the women to study the Bible with you because they are already brainwashed to believe MOP? If you do should you not ask her out around Church members?
 
Basically every church teaches monogamy only. And most Christian women attend church. You can't avoid this.
 
Another option: Go out and find some sinner girls, lead 'em to Jesus, then marry 'em.

I like Doc's idea. But seriously, you should bloom where God has planted you. If it be His will for you to connect with a poly-group, then take that as an answer to prayer. I'm 49 and have been with my lovely bride for 25 years. Even-though I pray for Gods will to be done in my life, and though I have the blessings of my wife to seek another wife; I'm not sure what I'd do if another woman came into our lives.

First she would have to be a believer in Jesus, second (as just as important) she and Karen (my sweet-heart for 25 yrs) would have to edify each other (no competion in my house), next....................not sure. Even though my pastor (RRP) and I have discussed it, I not sure I really want to be a husband to more that one wife. Just being the man God wants me to be to this woman, at times, is enough for me.

I am thinking if you ask a girl out in front of anti-polygynists they might try to dissuade her, so maybe it is better not to ask her out at Church if they know you refer to Biblical polygyny after all the Bible has no place in Church except to be changed. :roll: (sarcastic rolling eyes) maybe it is better to talk to her in non-Church settings
 
DTT, yes plenty of people call themselves Christian but aren't. I think we're probably all only interested in the real ones, unless we're following Doc's methodology!

I have never heard of anyone standing up at the front of church to ask a woman out in front of the entire congregation, unless that's how courtships tend to start in your denomination I don't see this being a problem... :lol:

Mike, I like how cautious and sensible you are about this.
 
I was Muslim and therefore believed in plural marriage. I then moved to lds church. I study my bible, pray, seek Jehovah's word. If you do that you can't disagree with having plural wives, unless satan has you blinded from the truth. Then you need to pray! Pray for a SW.
 
I have concerns about "missionary" dating. Clearly, if God truly leads you to do that then do so. Otherwise I personally would stay away from anything more than a friendship with someone who doesn't have the same level of spiritual desire as you. If they grow into it then great, if not and you move forward you will likely set yourself up for problems moving forward... Bible says something about unequally yoked... :) I understand that most typically interpret this as believer vs non-believer. I believe it can also apply to those who are spiritually mismatched.. for example, one spouse studies the Bible consistently, prays and the other rarely if ever reads it. Throwing that out there for consideration as well.
