ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) -- A traveling Georgia minister who served two years in prison on bigamy charges for having eight wives has been jailed again on accusations of trying to marry even more.

At least four women claim Bishop Anthony Owens, 35, proposed to them after being released from prison in November 2005. Officials say there is no evidence he divorced the eight previous wives.

Talk about mentally imbalanced.

If women controlled the drug companies, instead of developing Viagra, they would have determined what chemicals are flowing around in this guy's brain and created a drug that could be slipped into a beer!

If jail doesn't work, perhaps making him pay alimony to all his victims might shake him out of this.

Wow. This story makes my head hurt. It's a big enough challenge in life making one woman happy. But eight? And how the heck do you pay for eight different households?

If I could get eight wives working, I could retire. I'd then be able to concentrate on keeping them happy. Once a week for each would be enough if I could find one who would be happy with artificial insemination.

Yeah either that or if I had a net worth like Rupert Murdoch for example, I would definitely not mind having 8 wives.

Imagine having to keep track of 8 different wedding anniversaries and 8 different birthdays. You know he's gonna end up in the doghouse sooner or later. Some guys can barely handle 1!

Pretty bad when 8 women have to share a loser.

Shouldn't he be considered an octigamist?
