I have known many gay men who had much troubles leaving such cults.
Some fear for their lives if they return, just for a visit to relatives who are still in those cults !!
Anyone else knows some ?

If the woman down the street was letting her husband 'marry' each of her daughters as they hit puberty would there be anyone on TV talking about how we should leave the kids in the home? Especially when the 'husband' is still living there?
nope.
Religion is a racket for people to hide their perversions behind.

sometimes that can be correct, but for a majority of the religious I think that is not correct. I am not a steady church goer, but I can see the good effect that church has for many.
I think of all the great charities established and run by religious organizations. The Mormons themselves have a wonderful idea for food pantries, they will offer their bounty to the needy, but the needy are then offered jobs that they must take in order to continue to receive charity. I think that this is a great idea, giving somebody something for nothing teaches them nothing. But teaching someone job related skills goes a long way towards solving their fundamental problems which got them into a charity situation in the first place.

True, but secular charities can do the same without the religious overtones.
Artiste:
A lot can be said.
It remains that such things do happen.
It is also a fact that muslims can have four wives same time legally !!
Therefore, either in the is islamic worlds or in ours or in others, why some or many men want more than one wife at a time ?
This puzzles me.
May I ask ?
Hugs!
