Illegal arrangement! 60-year-old pastor marries, impregnates teenager with wife’s approval
Polygamy is illegal in all 50 of the United States, but this pastor is not fazed.
60-year-old pastor, Thom Miller, recently married 19-year-old Reba Kerfootruba and got her pregnant with the full support of his 44-year-old wife, Belinda.
Thom told Barcroft Media that he and his two wives have a decent understanding of their situation.
The whole situation works for all three of us. I am the only one who is allowed to have more than one partner — and both of my wives understand and appreciate that,” he said.
Thom, now building a bigger home in Mansfield, Ohio, with one wing for each wife, believes their polygamous lifestyle is strengthening family ties.
All three of them currently live in a smaller home with each of the wives taking turns to spend three nights with him.
His supportive wife, Belinda, believes having another lady in the house completes the family.
“I wanted to have more of a family — having another lady in the house not only makes our family whole but individually it’s a beautiful thing because it’s like having a sister around,” Belinda said.
“Thom is the love of my life and Reba is the blessing of my life, so it all works,” she added.
The new bride, Reba, said her family now supports her decision to join the Miller family although it initially troubled them.
“They’re happy as long as they know I am happy,” she said.
Strangely, Reba doesn’t love sharing her man with another woman.
“But I try not to get jealous and when it’s not my time with Thom, I just try to occupy myself by going out with friends,” Reba told Barcroft. “The baby will have two moms, which I’m okay with.”
Thom, an ordained minster who runs a ministry that visits prisons, does not see his decision to go polygamous as negating his Christian beliefs.
“I don’t preach about polygamy, but I feel it’s a very Christian lifestyle,” he said. “This is America and my wives and I have a right to live any way we please, providing we’re not hurting anybody.”
Thom became a Christian after spending seven years in jail for stabbing someone during a bar fight following years as a member of the mob, according to the news outlet.
All he wants now is to settle down with his wives.
“We just want the opportunity to live together and have our marriages recognized,” he said..
