The conversation that aired a couple weeks back in which he presented the rules to the wives was a year ago. Maybe they have loosened their rules since then?

Dictators don’t loosen, they tighten as they lose power.  Or maybe they are all vaccinated now, ha ha.  Oh Robyn in that dining out ‘pitcher’:  “Kody, they are all talking about me on Primetimer and Reddit.  I don’t theeenk they like me.”Dry cry, sniff, eye roll.

I take it one step further and am MORE disgusted with the women DickTater attracts, than DickTater himself…all in the name of afterlife bliss.  He could go out to Coyote Pass and yell at the top of his lungs about his rules and expectations but if a sister wife isn’t there to hear it, will it make a noise?

Another step further is that as I understand it, the afterbliss is not a promise.  It's entirely up to the ruler of this planetary kingdom to make the decision whether or not to call up an earthly wife by the given name received on marriage.  If he decides that a previous wife would not be a good fit in this paradise, does she just float in limbo for eternity?

Don't try to apply logic to cockamamie "religious" concepts.  I don't think even the true believers have any of this figured out and probably have to make up new rules as society changes.

I so agree.  We know Kootie bends and breaks "the rules" all the time.  He used to get down on his potty-mouth kids, and he swears like a drunken sailor now.  Nasty hypocrite.

I will just start by saying I agree with every name you have called this slug of a human, my personal favorite being “Pig in Shoes”. Shout out to whoever came up with that. If Janelle does not officially leave him after seeing how he treated her sons this week, I will lose every shred of respect I have for her. Come on, Girl. Your kids deserve better. Show them that.

Janelle is hopelessly besotted by that Turd With a Perm.  She uprooted Gabriel, when she could have stood her ground.  Instead, she caved, when she could have stayed to show their houses for sale in LV, and let her son finish HS.  That rilly pissed me off.

I don’t understand why Robyn needs a nanny/housekeeper. 3 of the kids are older teens or adults. That leaves Solomon and Ari. Christine wrangled anywhere from 6-12 kids at a time, she sure didn’t have help.

I was still mad at  her uprooting her kids from Lehi.  Maddie and Hunter were extremely affected.  Then Kody just ranted and raved about Hunter’s temper.  Rather than understanding why

Yes!  I remember Paedon crying, too.  Kootie called Hunter a raging testosterone case or something like that.  Kootie doesn't consider anyone's fillings except Robchyn's and her spawn.

Wow, didn't realize that before...although I actually felt sorry for Martha in the Americans! Never for Robyn who really did get what she wanted in the end...Kody all to herself.  Be careful what you wish for though!

I think "the principle" and the "cult leader" leave it vague, so they all behave like good sister wives and keep sweet perpetually because of the risk of floating in limbo for eternity.  Until they see how the rest of the world lives.

Was this Christmas 2020?  If so a kid almost 5 should not be sucking on  a pacifier. Tell  her that they are going away and let her have a meltdown for a few nights. Robyn probably doesn't want her sleep disturbed by Ari throwing a fit. 

The pacifier that we are discussing was given to her at Christmas 2020. So she would have been 4 almost 5. 

It's funny because I never mentioned the pacifiers in any of my posts, but somehow that became the focus. My original point was that Robyn felt she didn't remember her siblings since she had been isolated from them for so long, and asking who the gift was from proved that. I just suggested that the problem could have been not that, but that she couldn't read the names. She was only 4 at the time. Some 4 year olds can read, but at that age, most can't, especially things like names of 18 siblings.

It's all good though!!

I don't know if it's in the book of Mormon but pretty sure it was an idea to keep the wives sweet and subservient.  I can't think of any other reason for this edict.

Kody said the exact same thing.  LOL.  Christine stated that each wife brought something special into the marriage and celebrating Joseph Smith's birthday was hers.  The year Robyn joined the family, Kody put a kibosh on that, and they opted to celebrate Hanukkah, instead.  I remember this clearly, because Jewish posters were outraged. 

Expand  

Honestly, they are all so weird.  Hanukkah just like Kody keeps kosher.  yeah, right.  Weirdos.  I'm glad their kids seem to be mostly cool.  

Just to clarify, one doesn't need to be kosher to celebrate Hanukkah. I'm pretty sure the majority of practicing Jews in the world do not keep kosher. Here in the US, less than 1/6th of all A.erican Jews keep kosher. Just wanted to clarify. And yes, I fucking hate K'Douche, but I have no problem with non-Jews celebrating a Jewish holiday IF it's because they genuinely want to learn about other religions. But in this case, K'Douche only dies this stuff in a lame attempt to.either rile up or try to be relevant to his TV audience.

Long time K and Prek teacher. My 4 and 5 year old kids learn all classmates names within 1st 3 weeks of school. I take pictures of all students and to check in daily, they have to name  5 kids whose I change daily. Easy Peasy. Aroelabooboo should easily know and remember the names of her sibs, especially the younger ones. Now Maddie, Logan, Hunter and some others who live far away, there may be some confusion. 18 kids minus Robyn's 5, minus those older 3, that's 10 faces. If true  that she is forgetting the names of 10 people, it just reinforces that Kody has all but given up on the rest of his children. My hate for him grows daily.

And there's the (pink) elephant in the room.  If Kody was doing regular face-time check-in's with the other 13 kids, plus their 3 offspring, there would be no reason for Ari not to recognize the faces and names.  If he called 2 of the older kids each night and gathered Robyn's kids to participate, it would go a long way to establish family rapport.

No, I understand and agree with that.  I was just saying he "celebrates" Hanukkah just as much as he was really "kosher".  Which is to say, not at all.  

It's a fun thing for them, not a celebration of the actual meaning behind Hanukkah.  He just wants something to do.  I realize I'm not making much sense.

I used to read posts on exmormon.org (I think it was) from “escapees.” I guess the secret names are assigned by a priest. Quite a few people shared how they discovered, after leaving the church, that lots of people had the same secret name, like there was just this limited pool they the priests drew from at random or something.

I also don't know if it is something from the Book of Mormon. Since Mormonism can change with the head of the church having a direct link to god to get any current updates and patches to the older teachings it may have come to be over time.

From reading on exmormon I have pieced together that the secret name is like a password. Your husband is on the other side of the veil, and so you can't see each other. If he shouts out "Hey Mary!!" then a whole lot of women named Mary come on over. But since secrecy is a big part of Mormon rituals they have these secret names that only the husband and wife know. But as Tabbygirl mentioned, the names are limited. I have read that each day or each month is assigned one name, but no one except the temple workers are supposed to know and so everyone married that day/month have the exact same name. I guess they are banking that they will die at different times.

I agree, she looked fabulous. I want her to have a beautiful relationship that is monogamous. I was floored when Kody said lots of polygamous marriages aren't intimate with many wives. WTF? He expects them to stick around with no legal status and no intimate connection? What's in it for them? As he said about Christine packing up his stuff - this is MY house. What a controlling, emotionally abusive ass. Christine, meri etc need intimate connections. Why should he be the only one to decide upon sex. Last thought, despite kody throwing out the fact that he was "never" physically attracted to Christine, he managed to pump 5 kids into her. God I despise this man and I need to be around to see karma knock on his door.

Yup, and then to add insult to injury, put the blame on them.

[Teri313]

Did we ever see Kody put an ounce of sincere effort into trying to keep the family together during COVID? He did nothing but argue with and act cold toward them. If he sincerely wanted to have healthy relationships with the other wives and children, he would have gathered everyone together, either in person or via zoom, and said, I love you guys and we need to put our heads together to come up with a solution so we can all stay connected and I can go to all four houses. He needed to make them all a part of the process and let them know that they mattered. But he didn't. He seized the opportunity to do the opposite.
