Oprah, Lisa Ling, and Polygamy in America

Posted by Joshuah at 22 March, 2008, 9:04 pm

A while back we had a brief blog post on one of our sites (I cannot recall which) concerning Oprah’s broadcast about polygamy. A main feature of this broadcast was an investigative reporter by the name of Lisa Ling. Well, it seems as though this particular episode has been re-broadcast, because many people are showing up on our sites who are looking for more information.

If you know anything about us, or have read any of the materials on our sites, you know that we do not watch television, and haven’t done so in several years, so we have no information about Oprah, Lisa Ling, or their perspectives on plural marriage in the United States…we can only assume it’s not much different from the majority viewpoint.

However, since people are coming to the site seeking information, we would to say a few words, since we have your attention ;-)

First, stop watching television. The reasons are numerous, and well documented, and require no elaboration from us…either you will read this little tidbit of advice and heed it, or you will not. We hope that you do. For us, there is not enough time in the day to waste on garbage like the Oprah Winfrey Show, and would hope that you discover some better ways to utilize the gift of time that God has given you here, such as working together in a family business, reading aloud, long walks, or rolling around on the floor tickling the little ones.

Secondly, the world is filled with false teachers and false prophets (profits), and it is our position that Oprah Winfrey is one of them. She leads people astray in all directions (away from the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob),  with New Age mumbo jumbo, and has for years. Ummm, stay away from such people.

Thanks for listening :-D

THis is weird

Gibran Khalil gibran and now Eckhart Tolle and Oprah all these new age gurus are free to think and write what they want,but that is not the truth and opposite to christianity.Millions of people were attracted to Gibran who was a pioneer of new age,in his book Jesus son of man divested Jesus of his divine nature and miraculous attributes presenting Him instead as a sage,a guru.If we have to attain salvation through our own efforts,the sacrifice of Christ becomes useless.For that the word of the cross is nonsense to those who are being destroyed,but it is God power to us who are being saved.I ask Oprah if she dare,to speak on tv about the power of the cross and blood on that good friday in Jerusalem in 1994 in the book the coin of the temple by souheil bayoud,published in 2006.There you will see the difference between these false gurus teaching and the real Jesus Christ the Lord and Savior.What Oprah is saying about the Lord is a deadly error.

Came across this trying to find a video of a segment of a show where Carolyn Jessop says polygamy should be decriminalized. Just thought I’d mention that they ended up being kind of supportive, I guess. Still didn’t think they could handle it and still didn’t understand it, but they certainly didn’t condemn it (in any of the clips from the apparently numerous shows).

But I don’t watch Oprah as a rule, so I’m not quite sure.



In our biblical worldview, there are three options when it comes to marital relationships: monogamy, polygyny, and celibacy. Most people are monogamous. A few of us may be either polygamous or celibate. All three options are morally, ethically and spiritually equal.
