Big Love versus Big Armageddon
by streets76 ini've been enjoying "big love" on hbo for the past few years.
(for those who don't know, it's about the life of a mormon polygamist and his family in utah, usa.).
seems like the mormons, even without officially sanctioning polygamy, can go toe-to-toe with the jws in the wackiness department.. so why does mormonism, as a religious movement, seem more acceptable (than jws) to the mainstream, and thus more successful?.

this will give you an idea of who in the congregation is of like-mind.. future meeting attendance is, of course, up to you..
