Lifting the Veil of Polygamy DVD

Customer Rating :

When Brigham Young led his Mormon followers westward,polygamy was taught as doctrine...not as an option. Indeed, it was arequirement for exaltation. Joseph Smith had proclaimed it to be aneverlasting covenant, a covenant from God himself. In spite of the modern LDS Church’s prohibition of the practice,tens of thousands of Joseph Smith’s followers across North Americacontinue the practice of plural marriage to this day...out ofobedience to the revelations and commandments of a self-proclaimedprophet of God. Today, the mainstream LDS Church seeks to distance itselffrom its peculiar 'fundamentalist' cousins who adhere to the originalteachings of Mormonism, including polygamy. Nevertheless, manymainstream Latter-day Saints who seek to follow Joseph Smith morefaithfully, find themselves moving into Mormon fundamentalism... andplural marriage. So what draws them in?And what keeps them? And what hope is there for those men, women andchildren - fundamentalist and mainstream alike - who strive to please Godwhile living under the bondage of an impossible Mormon 'gospel'? Thisdocumentary examines the roots of Joseph Smith’s legacy, and itsmodern-day fruit. It follows the compelling testimonies of nine formerfundamentalists, who shed light on this practice and lifestyle whichhas been shrouded in secrecy since the earliest days of Mormonism; butmore importantly, they share the true freedom they have found in theJesus Christ of the Bible. A powerful and fascinating documentary.
