Now time to fix up room for Solomon and where is Kody? Off with his (paid pretend) friends. Honestly I do not know an single real man that would be any kind of friend with Kody. He is a tool! I feel sorry for the wives... very very pathetic situation IMO. They seem like nice ladies but why - oh gawd WHY - do they tolerate that fool? He does not take care of them or contribute to their well being in any way. If he has ever changed a light bulb, mowed grass or taken out trash it hasn't been shown on television. If any of my friends had a one-on-one relationship with a fool such as Kody they would need a slap upside the head.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-19828862343155661602011-11-27T22:35:17.710-05:002011-11-27T22:35:17.710-05:00I find Sister wives A very disturbing and disgusti...I find Sister wives A very disturbing and disgusting show to watch. What they are doing is illegal and using a craZY religion to justify their illegal activity. A quick look at Google shows over 15,000 mormon sects? Which do they belong to? Cody seems to love being in the center of attention and seems to be a control freak. In the show where he was baby sitting his kids he was clear he did not enjoy his time with them. The younger ones did not even appear to know him. Who brings 17 kids into a world of 7 BILLION? Even the older kids said they did not want to live this way.<br />And what normal woman wants to share her man with 3 other women? Are there some self-esteem issues there? They would be better off if Cody went off to jail and they found one man to make each wife happy and feel loved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-47113138689473507322011-11-27T07:14:06.492-05:002011-11-27T07:14:06.492-05:00Catherine, you are right that it may be a blessing...Catherine, you are right that it may be a blessing in disguise for the men who are forced to leave - not so good for the young teens who get booted from the FLDS with no idea how to survive in society.

It's far worse. At least with an affair, the woman can leave, or she and her husband can make a fresh start and try to leave it behind them. With polygamy a woman is condemned to living with it every day for her entire life, and is expected to be happy about it because it is what her religion expects of her.

Bill the PT is just not giving the right info. He needs to emphasize the nutrition. that's the problem, the bottom line is that to lose fat you need to burn more calories than you take in. I know they're doing the LIV whatdoyacallit diet thing but Bill can give some basic nutrition info - at least a calorie range. If the ladies would get their calorie intake to 1500-1800 a day, which they could do easily just by eliminating most convenience food from their diet, limiting bread and emphasizing protein and veggies. Meri was doing that in the very 1st show, making a veggie stir fry or something like that. If Janelle had made the necessary nutritional changes she could have lost at least 20-30 lbs in that 60 days, I'm sure of it.DakotaJusticenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-81771164679158240782011-11-26T10:32:40.476-05:002011-11-26T10:32:40.476-05:00luvmeknot said " I believe people should be ...luvmeknot said " I believe people should be able to live however they want if they aren’t hurting anyone"<br />________________<br /><br />Trouble is, people ARE being hurt - the women for whom this is a religious duty, the children who suffer in it, and the guys in these communities who leave when they can't find a girl of their own, because other greedy hogs have taken them all for themselves.FreeAndClearnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-73882441684944712642011-11-26T00:02:05.523-05:002011-11-26T00:02:05.523-05:00I also enjoyed the show at first because I was int...I also enjoyed the show at first because I was interested to see how any woman could make this lifestyle work and I was interested in the dynamic between the women. Now, it seems to be turning into a train wreck. <br /><br />As someone else pointed out, I can’t believe the clip out there where Meri said Robyn is the sister wife she always wanted. Wonder how the other two feel about that?<br /><br />And finally, I believe people should be able to live however they want if they aren’t hurting anyone, to each his own, but I also think all the women except Meri are in total denial when they call themselves Kody’s wife! As the laws stand at the moment, they are not his wife. I guess if we use their argument, we could all come up with our own religion and beliefs and move to the head of the line in heaven.

As Muslims we believe faith in God has to be a balance of beliefs and actions, kind of in the middle of some Christians who believe only belief matters, and some very ultra-orthodox Jews who believe salvation comes purely from following two hundred and something rules on a daily basis. Treating hijab as a fashion and a big obsession though as it so often is these days really does defeat the object; the hijab is meant to be simple, non-form fitting, comfortable (which layers of polyester and nylon tops is most certainly not!) and non attention/fame seeking. Many Muslim women like myself fulfil all this easily by wearing some type of overgarment over our indoor clothing, but again butt tight, flashy ones of those are coming out now. Thankfully the community I am with tend to adhere to this, some of my friends only have one scarf and overgarment that they wear outside and thats it; I would love to be that ascetic.Sophnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-66338994497709890552011-11-24T21:39:42.094-05:002011-11-24T21:39:42.094-05:00My name is Kristy and I watch your show all the ti...My name is Kristy and I watch your show all the time and I love the idea of having sister wives.

I understand and love traditions, but as "agnostic-catholic" (brought up Catholic and started to questions things in my faith at around 14 that has lead me to Agnosticism) I question and am a little suspicious of anything in religions that seem like a frivolous. physical requirement of a person's faith. Clothes and how you wear your hair, if you grow a beard or not, that kind of thing, in my mind, doesn't make you a good person. Though I understand some of these religious traditions are meant to remind a person of God or their religion, when it becomes more important to anything else, like being good to our fellow man, etc, then I think it's wrong.<br />I understand the reason and purpose of hijab, but the tight clothes just contradict the whole point. As a heterosexual woman even MY eyes are drawn to the tight jeans, can you imagine the men? Same with the sister wives here. And those poor teenaged girls who have been putting on weight.... Kody freaks because one of them was wearing a tank top in the 300 degree heat, but none of the 4 adult women help guide them on how to dress in a way as to draw attention away from their (hopefully temporary) pregnant-looking bellies....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-68779369220123093452011-11-24T15:45:43.479-05:002011-11-24T15:45:43.479-05:00Hi!

Accordingly this look has become popular generally in Egyptian society and now much of the rest of the Arab world as well, a friend of mine in Egypt saw a lady wearing a bikini top over a very tight t-shirt and hijab. It really does look so odd and completely defeats the object, many hijabis nowadays are spending a fortune on their wardrobe more than any non-Muslim woman would do.Sophnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-16750560942084331352011-11-23T18:55:09.661-05:002011-11-23T18:55:09.661-05:00Eli Lilly you crack me up!!

You crack me up.<br /><br />Let's pretend we are Rod Serling and have a Twilight Zone moment:<br /><br />"A large, seemingly happy family with 17 kids, four wives, and one selfish Dad. 15 years ago this family made the monumental mistake of plastering their lives on what was then considered 'Reality' television....<br /><br />"Speed forward 15 years and you see the results - Wife no. 1 happily divorced and living as a single woman outside of Salt Lake City. Meri spends most of her time with her daughter's 7 children....<br /><br />"Wife no. 2 sadly passed away six years ago from a heart attack she had in an unfortunate, and avoidable car accident. Son no. 1 gave up his college dreams to raise her youngest kids. He now works 3 jobs at the local mall to keep the family fed.<br /><br />"Wife no. 3 can often be seen at the local Piggly Wiggly store dancing to the Muzak and prost-elizing about the celestial kingdom. She's been on many 5150 holds in the past several years but still resides in Vegas where mental health services are almost non-existent. Son no. 1 from wife no. 2 helps out with wife no. 3's kids, who all still live at home.<br /><br />"Wife no. 4 hasn't been seen in about six years. She ditched all six of her kids on son no. 1 and ran off with a Cirque de Soleil acrobat. One could say that she literally ran off and joined the circus.<br /><br />"And where is the one selfish Dad in all of this? Mostly absent from the lives of all his children (quite a few purposefully estranged themselves from him), the Dad moved on to start a new family with three new wives. Little does he know that two of his wives are closet lesbians (and were attracted to his butch-like presence) and the third is a post-op transgender lady. But after all, maybe he does really know their secrets. This is, after all, the Twilight Zone...."<br /><br />I must be bored today.

Really? I have never seen anyone gain 60 pounds from taking Xanex. <br /><br />As for starting a gym... really? Perhaps a bakery. But a gym? Really? Not only has their prolonged unemployment demonstrated a lack of skill on the business front (getting paid by TLC to pimp your family does not count as a "business") but their marked lack of physical fitness will be a severe detriment to this venture's success. What makes them think they can run a lemonade stand, let alone a gym? Clearly their real estate venture has not taken off, or they are keeping that under wraps so Meri's tears seem more realistic.<br /><br />Now let's get to the real deal: Robyn. If anyone needs to be voted off of the island, it is she. What exactly does she bring to the table? No wonder the other wives are depressed all of the time. Not only does he take another wife but he takes a wife that is extremely annoying, self-centered, a know-it-all, and also has no marketable job skills to speak of. She, like Christine, enjoys speaking to hear her own voice. I quite frankly feel like the pink elephant in the room in this family is Janelle. She is the only one that seems to have any social sense to her (best example is when they were at the church of another faith and Christine feels the need to start shoving her beliefs and complaining how she doesn't feel "right"- Janelle brings them back to reality and reminds them that they should be having this discussion in private). Janelle just doesn't fit in with this cast of loons. I used to like Meri but ever since Robyn has been fully enfranchised into the Brown clan, Meri seems to have fully submitted herself to this debacle- almost like there is a sense of defeat on her part. Beyond being annoying, Robyn seems to be completely oblivious to the hurt that she causes. Like when Christine sits on the couch and repeats the same sentence over and over- "It is difficult to welcome a new wife." Robyn sits there and nods then talks about how it is her duty to support her husband's other relationships. Really?<br /><br />The Nursery: Really? Did anyone notice Janelle's bedroom in one of the recent episodes? It looked worse than my college dorm room. She is the only woman that had a full time job back in Utah, yet, she gets stuck with a star and moon comforter back from the 1970s. Meanwhile, Robyn contributes absolutely zip and gets not only the only somewhat decent looking clothes, but also a fully furnished nursery for her Brown baby. Did anyone else notice the picture frame she picked up with the ultrasound photo? That frame cost at least $25. One mile away, Meri is sitting on her 16 year old mattress crying to herself that they don't have enough money to pay rent. Really? Robyn should be embarrassed. <br /><br />These women, along with the Kodster, are all adulterers. I don't care what they call their lifestyle. <br /><br />What about this concept of one large house that they keep talking about: Do they intend to have an apartment house, like the one they had in Utah? Or does Kody actually mean that they will share living quarters with one another. NOW THAT IS REALLY A DISTURBING THOUGHT. It seems that since their move to Plymouth Rock, Las Vegas, the only solace these women (with the exception of Robyn) have found is their privacy and independence. Try having independence and solace when you walk downstairs into the kitchen at 8am to find Robyn cooking pancakes in her VS. <br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving.Sister Martyrsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-61551723857996389102011-11-23T12:58:12.037-05:002011-11-23T12:58:12.037-05:00I just can't wait for the tell-all book you ju...I just can't wait for the tell-all book you just know one of the kids will write one day!Baylornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-72037900832062083862011-11-23T12:46:04.281-05:002011-11-23T12:46:04.281-05:00Since the kids are in public school and have inter...Since the kids are in public school and have internet access, they stand a chance of escaping the polygamy brainwashing. <br /><br />Logan seems like a great young man with a good head on his shoulders.<br /><br />Madison has spunk and seems to be smart. <br /><br />My hope is that Logan and Madison use their smarts and get out.
