Kody Brown and his four wives often have to defend their controversial religious beliefs and in a sneak peek of the upcoming episode of Sister Wives obtained by RadarOnline.com they try and set the record straight.

The polygamist family is questioned by an Episcopal minister called Danielle who asked if they shared the same faith and beliefs as other Fundamentalist Mormons who live on compounds.

“That is not part of our faith,” Kody explains. “But it comes from a desire to have community and it is because you’re different. Most Fundamentalist Mormons are so vastly different; they have very significant, different beliefs.

“They believe in arranged marriages,” but he set the record straight about their family – the Browns do not believe in arranged marriages, “Not at all.”

Kody’s wife Christine said she was happy to answer the questions. “It was refreshing to have someone be open about our religious beliefs because so many people in so many religions consider us a cult.”

I consider it a cult because they have to do what he says regardless of whether it is practical. Many of the kids didn't want to go to Vegas but he uprooted them. Now they all have no jobs like most people in Vegas.

It's a matter of what her beliefs and faith are, not her level of self-esteem. As long as the ppl involved are all consenting adults, I say "Go for it!". What I feel is "right" or "moral" has no bearing on how other people should live their lives.

I agree with cherries but if those women have no self respect than to allow him to treat them like his little harem going from bed to bed then they have to live with that,,and really what man can support all those wives? so both sides are wierd.

I agree with both of you I don't see them as a cult either. I'll admit that I would never, ever live like they do, but if that's how they choose to live, so be it.

I don't consider them a cult, but I don't agree on they live. It doesn't seem right to have a man skip bed to bed, and women being okay with this.

I don't consider Sister Wives a cult. Those women are too outspoken and independent. However, there are cults where old guys have 20 wives and they all dress alike. I guess people figure they will benefit from polygamy being legal.
