Wurks was just poking fun of the entire 4th season. Seriously, Bill’s type of polygamy seems to be he is making up the rules as he goes along. There is no double standard with fundamentalism.
Bills attitude that he can have an affair with women who are not his wives and not expect to pay any consequences, is like an idiot that enjoys playing with fire and does not think he will get burned.
Here is what real fundamentalism is about in a time when those who practiced it took it seriously.
“A man may have, perhaps, three or four wives, and not make such allowance for them as they do for him, and find fault, and be very exacting in requiring of them the most perfect obedience to every whim and notion. By taking such a course he is liable to lose the Spirit, and if he does, he will lose his women. Now if your wives discover that you lack in any virtues pertaining to the Priesthood, and if you take a course that is not calculated to exalt them, do you not see that you lose their confidence? You will lose them also.”

Some of wurks' posts have a thought-disordered quality that strikes me.
I couldn't say for sure, but you guys might be spending a lot of time arguing with someone who has a psychosis.
You can keep arguing, but he'll never concede anything!

I don't get him (wurks)... I don't think he's a troll... but I don't know why he is bothered by most things we say on the site. He knows he's going to get a lot of responses... wait... is that what a troll is?

A troll is someone who intentionally posts things to get an inflammitory reaction.
Another thing, Wurks doesn't even watch the show... So it has always baffled me why he frequents the Big Love board.

I didnt realize that he didnt watch the show untill (if i recall) somewhere along this thread.
It all started to make sense at that point though... he had no desire to discuss th show, just the topics the show covered to try and get a rise out of ppl.
btw...
TROLL- One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument.

If I recall correctly, at one point Wurks did watch Big Love but them he quit getting HBO. By then he had decided that HBO and the Big Love writers had it all wrong anyhow so he did not need to watch it anymore.

Ya know, even if he didnt / doesnt watch the show... I' m all for general discussion of the topics the show covers. but basing an argument on a story line you havent even watched unforld... it leaves too much lacking in your interpretation of it. At times , wurks made interesting points and kept it mostly on topic. Unfortunately, I think he just doesnt play well with others lol Mayeb next season he'll come back with a better attitude lol

You need to read Secret Ceremonies - Mass Market Paperback (Mar. 5, 1994) by Deborah Laake to understand how women and men are viewed differently within the Mormon culture.
It eventually led to the author committing suicide! She wrote about the secrets and was shunned by her family there after.
The NEW TIMES in Phoenix pursued the FLDS with a passion when they assigned John Dougherty to cover a series of stories. The truth was the author Ms Laake was once an assistant editor.

People are very strange. Each of us has double standards. I only realized this now. I have a strange job. I work here Sexy hot nude asian girls on Firecams.com www.firecams.com/category/asian-girls. Now you understand what is at stake. Man's man likes to look at a beautiful girl online, but no one wants to have a relationship with her. I think this is wrong...
