When I outed myself to my brother, he regurgitated the teachings of man and condemned me. He's now had a change of heart and mind, and now defends my choices, and has sent me this link that got him studying God's word and not simply accepting what the church teaches.

Unfortunately...I'm afraid this link wouldn't help me at all with my (converted fundie) sister...as the site doesn't condone polyandry ("A woman having multiple men is an offence to God. Intimacy is marriage and a woman with multiple men has multiple husbands and out of line with God's Word. Men sleeping with the same woman are committing fornication.") and condemns polyamory outright ("Despite their protests to the contrary, polyamory or many loves is fornication. Sex is not to be used and abused with such godless liberalities." and "Polyamory is a wicked deception. Many loves or lovers based loosely on the concept that we are to love each other as Christ commanded is Bible abuse not adherence."...doh)
Only monogamists and polygynists need apply...non-polygynist polygamists, polyandrists and polyamourists - fornicators, all of them...

PS. Not that this actually bothers me in the slightest...I'm agnostic and am not particularly interested in Xtian doctrine. I love my birth family but they don't rule my decisions - even the fundie component would love me if they knew - I just don't push their buttons. (A decision that LGTB folks have made for a very long time...)
