Reply #158: Perhaps looking when the LDS converted from polygamy might lend answers.

I'm not talking about the methods used to get them to give up polygamy. The LDS did not lose it's primary culture/religion. How did the leader's of the church convince their large body of followers to give it up without the main being splintered? Maybe an answer may lie in asking the head of the LDS, maybe behind the scenes to step in and help redirect the women and children as part of the process,so that the the cycle of marrying children "spiritually" to older men can stop. Bring them back into the fold of the LDS. Maybe it's not an option, and it's too polyanna of an idea given the situation.
