Iron Sharpens Iron. If we discuss it 4000 times it is not too much. If you do not want to read it and think you know everything already you do not have to. I for one will never stop searching for truth and others ideas.
I think @The Revolting Man has a very firm conviction that he wants to preach. He'll certainly keep preaching it until people stop responding. He might even continue after that. However it ends, he'll make the last post, and it will be restating the same view he had at the beginning. The only question is how long the conversation will be. And that all depends on how much time everyone else wants to devote to it.
My mind can be changed. Someone’s going to have to do the work. Although on this particular issue that would be hard at this point. No one has ever offered any support for any other position. Which doesn’t seem to embarrass any of them as much as it would me.I think @The Revolting Man has a very firm conviction that he wants to preach.

True, but there is one hidden assumption.

I kinda feel like it's better to have no "legal" wives.
For anyone that doesn't know, the basic gist of this is that the cops in Australia went to do a welfare check on a guy and it was an ambush. 2 were killed and 2 were injured, and 1 neighbour was killed also. This is a messed up family. There were two brothers and a wife, and the wife had been with one of the brothers then got divorced and married the other brother. The brothers' father is actually a pastor and they hadn't spoken to him in years. Their father said that what they did wasn't right at all, and he still didn't know why exactly they chose not to speak to him anymore.
Today this article has come out with an interview with the Deputy Commissioner, saying that they have declared this an Extremist Christian attack because these guys read the bible, made notes, and also believed that Christ was going to come back and rule for 1000 years.

First thing I thought also. Of course, the story could be loosely compared to Waco if the point of this story is to "attack" Christians. Maybe they are planning for a Waco.
That is the case for the USA, but certainly not everywhere (and may even vary between US states). This is very specific to local laws. In other jurisdictions it can be better to have no legal wife. Know your local laws.
Agreed. There are some NASTY 'strings' attached...

This was discussed in the thread on 'Kingdom courts', along with private law and the ability to contract. It IS possible to have a private contract, build trusts, and provide for eventualities without having to make a "deal with the devil."
