You can see the pitfalls from the polygamists' experience.

You don't own your home, and so if you are kicked out, you have lost everything. The control and sway over your life would be magnified 100-fold.

Well, I guess if it comes down to Jesus kicking you out of your home, you're pretty much screwed already.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.

Maybe they will have a motel specifically for member families where the father is an asterisked member. Don't want them to get too settled.

Don't the people in Hildale consider the folks in SLC a "renegade Mormon splinter group"?

Yes. We are rebels. Just like Mitt Romney.
