An Unusual Prosecution of a Way of Life (FLDS Polygamy)

What completely baffles me, is that there are people on these threads who are howling for EVIDENCE to be shown that crimes were committed in this FLDS matter; but care less that there is no EVIDENCE of what was SO wrong with PRESBYTERIANISM that Joseph Smith claimed to have LEARNED!

HOW on earth can an entire religion get started this way?

Talk about BLIND faith!

Talk about a CRANK phone call!

Shhh...

Apparently you are not reading the same string of posts that I am reading. No one said anything about any Amish. In fact I dont think that word has been mentioned until you brought it up. Perhaps you should go back to the beginning and follow the conversation, because you just took a radical turn off into left field.

Apparently, you have some sort of reading problem. What I was saying was that one could say that Amish girls are ALSO undereducated and whatever else of yours that I was quoting. What I was saying that it’s ok for some people to NOT be mainstreamed. Clear enough for ya?

They can disguise it all they want by saying that they're just opposed to government tyranny, but essentially, they think the government shouldn't have gotten involved, which means they find nothing wrong with this group.

I agree. This is WAY too important to be concerned about our Constitution.

I think that’s a good solution. Separating the children from their mothers is cruel and the foster care system is lousy. My heart goes out to these children. I pray they can find a decent solution.

[Marysecretary]

Yeah, screwing 12 year olds takes real courage doesn’t it?

[Marysecretary]

Yup, you got that right.

The trend I’m noting is the total lack of comprehension that women/girls have the right to consent to marriage and consent to sex.

Screaming constitutional meemies seem to be missing that this most basic act, the right to choose spouse and/or sexual partner is being denied these women and girls. A whole group, the largest % of a pop is enslaved by a minority.

Even creepier are those who keep acting like “whats the big deal, they were married”—— at 14, with no say so....Too many one handed typers around.

Kinda makes you wonder what their mindset towards the world in general might be.

So the sexual assault on a child and rampant welfare fraud is just a “way of life”. Oh, maybe killing people in the streets over drugs is also a “way of life” in the ghetto, does that mean that we should ignore rampant criminality and conspiracy to commit child rape and welfare fraud; just because it is a “way of life”?
