RLDS

The Reformed church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. RLDS is an offshoot of the official Mormon church which split off after the death of Joseph Smith.

nowadays they prefer to use the title 'Community of Christ'

Brigham young took the official LDS church to Utah where they carried on with their practice of Polygamy until about 1890

The smaller RLDS - along with Joseph Smith's wife - did not approve of Polygamy and has never practised it

not to be confused with FLDS which was a later split - in Utah - of Mormons who wanted to carry on polygamy,y after the 1890 official LDS ban

Mary is RLDS and hates it when people mistake her for one of the fundamentalist polygamous groups

magic underwear (mormon garments)

The most poorly kept secret from the mormon secret temple ceremonies (derived from masonic ceremonies)

magic underwear (mormon garments) are a two piece set - like a T shirt and long shorts

This current design is the garment of choice for most mormons. Previous styles have had full length legs, collars, cuffs and some were one-piece (a 19th century onesie).

Obviously designed by a man in a patriarchal society, Women are expected to wear a Bra over the top of their mormon t-shirt.

There is nothing apparently special about the garments. they are almost always white, but the magic comes from masonic symbols embroidered onto them.
The symbols represent a Masonic Square (⅃) a masonic pair of drawing compasses (V) and a masonic level (-)

Despite protestations from mormons that the garments are not really 'magic', every mormon will have heard testimonies and stories from other cult members about how their garments have saved them from fire, cuts, animal bites and even gunshot wounds

for example Paul H Dunn - a mormon general authority (a high Mucky Muck) told how, in WW2, a hail of bullets ripped off all his clothes, but left his body and garments untouched..... Of course, Dunn's stories are no longer quoted by cult members since his stories about WW2 were exposed as complete lies in a national newspaper...

Ann dried off after her shower and quickly donned her magic underwear (mormon garments), before putting her black lacy bra over the top

Bigamy

The instance of having TWO wives.

the clue is in the Prefix 'Bi' - meaning two.
Having multiple wives is known as 'Polygamy' - not Bigamy

When John married Lisa, he was still legally married to Danielle, even though they were separated. Therefore John had committed Bigamy by marrying Lisa

Benny

Benny (Plural: Bennies)
A nickname given to people living on the Falkland Islands.
During the Falklands War, British troops noticed the similarities of many of the Falklands Islanders, to a Character from a British soap opera, ('Crossroads')

In this soap opera, Benny was a simple (mentally challenged) odd job man, known for wearing old knitted jumpers and a woolly bobble hat.

Military top brass stopped the soldiers calling the Islanders Bennies, so the soldiers started calling the Islanders 'Stills' (meaning, 'still Bennies')

The Falkland islands is still a major outpost for the British Military (mainly Navy) and the Islnders are still referred to as 'Bennies' and 'Stills'

"Is that a Benny on the Beach"
"Nope, just a walrus"

Polygyny

Polygyny is a form of Polygamy

Polygamy is the practice of a person, of either sex, having multiple spouses, at the same time.

Polygyny is the specific instance of a man being married to multiple women...
as opposed to Polyandry which is the specific instance of a woman being married to multiple men

LDS Mormons (prior to 1890) and FLDS Mormons (currently) are known for practicing Polygyny

RLDS Mormons have never practiced polygyny, or any form of Polygamy, in the history of their religion

John Thinks Polygyny is just fine, and so do all of his 4 wives

Kolobian

A nickname for a Member of any one of the Mormon sects LDS, FLDS or RLDS.

The name comes from the belief that God lives on a heavenly Body (a planet... or star!) called Kolob.

The reference is from Joseph Smith Junior's writings called 'The Book Of Abraham, which is part of the Mormon canon of scripture

The modern Mormon church doesn't mention Kolob much as the whole thing is a source of embarrassment, hence the nickname Kolobian is quite hurtful to mainstream mormons

You dont want to go to Salt Lake City, it's full of kolobians
