TLC'S Sisterwives




I have wanted to blog about this show, yet each time I go to, I get distracted. Kody Brown appalls me! As does this entire lifestyle! He is only legally married to Meri, his first wife who he married in 1990. He then met Janelle who is his second wife in 1989, they are not legally married because WHY????? It would be illegal, it's called POLYGAMY!!!!!!!! They had a ceremony but it was not legal. He met his wife Christine in 1990, through her sister. She went out on an outing with a bunch of people and said to him "out of all of the guys I know you would be the one I would want to marry." He took that as a proposal and that started the ball rolling they were married in March 1994. Watching Sisterwives I saw his dating Robin and then marrying her which was just a ceremony, not legal, and she now lives in a separate home away from Kody and the other wives and children. Forgetting that this entire lifestyle is based on the Mormon church, which by theology is a cult. Kody is only legally married by our government's standards and by God's standards to one woman, Meri. As for the other women he is committing adultery with them, and he is doing it right in front of impressionable children. During the last episode I watched they were getting ready to go on a picnic and every time a police car drove by they all got nervous because of the investigation. Now . . . if you weren't doing anything wrong, why would you be worried????
They've put the kids in public school so they are no longer sheltered by the polygamist community. So . . . what's going to happen when these kids start finding out that polygamy is not a normal lifestyle, that it is actually wrong . . . what will Kody do then? How will he be able to damage control that. The answer . . . he wont! He has opened a huge can of worms 1st by being in this lifestyle, 2nd airing it on tv, and 3rd taking another wife - and in taking his 4th wife he did things he had never done with the other ones. He drove farther away in dating. He kissed Robin on the lips before the ceremony something he had never done with Janelle, or Christine. As you can see he's getting bolder.
People will say this is about family, - the wives even say I wanted a family not just the man. Well . . . what do you think you get when you get married and have children. You get his family, he gets yours, and you have children. This is not about family. This is about a man with nothing more than a sexual addiction and a way to use women as a fix. He gets to have his cake and eat it too! Yet it is the wives and the children who suffer. They have to share time with him. God didn't intend families to be like this. It's just truly sad.
