Fundamentalist Mormons Continue to Appear In Media


  • Kristen Cook takes an unusual viewpoint in this article, where she writes "bring on the sister wives".  She laments that even though husbands are nice, having multiple wives or sisters to help with the mom load of driving, cooking, cleaning, and all things relating to children, would be quite nice.
  • This article talks about the T.V. show "My Five Wives", and how the showcased family of 30 calls themselves 'progressive polygamists'.  Husband to five wives, Brady Williams says that he's a feminist, and doesn't see himself as head of the family.  The T.V. show has been causing waves with viewers. 
  • This article explains how polygamist Winston Blackmore, who was in line to become the next Prophet of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, is being prosecuted for his admittance of 10 out of 26 brides being underaged.  The author believes that he admitted to the accusation because martyrdom is highly valued in the Fundamentalist Mormon community
