Irene Spencer, author ofShattered Dreams: My Life as a Polygamist’s Wife pointed out that based on the teachings of the Doctrine and Covenants 132:62, the current mainstream LDS Church could justify — as have the polygamists — the marrying of ten “virgin” girls by middle-aged men. Spencer in a 2008 radio interview recounted her acquaintance with a polygamous Mormon man who married a previously-married woman, and then married her two daughters – age 9 and 11; and fathered children with all three.
A recent radio interview with Irene concerning her new book about polygamy, Cult Insanity: A Memoir of Polygamy, Prophets and Blood Atonement can be heard on the Iron Sharpens Iron radio program of WNYG (Long Island, NY). Click here to listen to the interview.
