I lay 10 -1 fifteen minutes before bias raises its head and the thread is pulled.

And what exactly can the mainline LDS church do to "squash" them.

Maybe he was thinking along the lines of how the Catholic church "squashed" those upstart Protestants.

The state of Utah should have gone after these people years ago.

There is a certain level of sympathy or a kind of understanding that a lot of people in Utah have with these people. Lots of their ancestors were polygamists too.

I think now that the eyes of the Utah AG have been opened. Thats a good sign. In fact Willie Jessop was calling the AG of Utah ‘Boggs’, after the former gov. of Missouri. LOL Willie was mad!

Malonis said she is prepared to call witnesses and present evidence to suggest that the girl is being intimidated and pressured by FLDS members.

It's pretty obvious that Malonis is speaking to the press against her client's wishes. Her client is in no legal danger. She is 16. All that she can be is a victim. What happened to attorney client privilege?

[JRochelle]

Obvious? Really?

Aren't you just guessing?

In fact it was the girl who called the AP and talked to them.

Malonis told the press she will not fight with her client via the media.

Anyone with a brain can see that the girl is being pressured to do this stuff, most likely from her mom and Jessop.

[JRochelle]

Good point. If they are ashamed, why defend them?

[commonguymd]

Ask Nancy Grace because she is regular there spouting off about her clients at flds.

The two churches are identical except that the LDS are more ASHAMED of Joesph Smith and Brigham Young than the FLDS, and the LDS have spent much effort to whitewash their stories over the decades.

And people wonder why many have strong reservations, or even dislike, for the Mormon faith. It does have its extreme and cultish features.

It has happened before, any religion comes up in the FLDS threads and certain freepers scream and whine to the mods.

No one has whined to the mods. We spotted this on our own. Everyone should be QUITE clear as to how to refer to FLDS by now, but a few don't seem to be able to get the message and continue to try and play games to associate them with the larger LDS church.

With talk like that, this thread will be pulled.

Maybe that's what he/she is hoping for?

[Soliton]

Obvious? Really?

The article quotes Malonis. How can they quote her if she didn't say anything?

[Alice in Wonderland]

I saw the attorney once on the Nancy Grace show. She had about one minute of airtime. Do you have additional information that she has become a ‘regular’ on the show?

[Admin Moderator]

Second yank of your post. You know the reason why. No one has mashed abuse. This is FR mod policy. And you DON’T want to find out how many strikes you get in this league.

[Gamecock]

Well, gee whiz.

This is a thread about a religious group. Why shouldn’t talk about religion be allowed?

[Admin Moderator]

As the other mod said, we have not received a single report on this. We saw this on our own. We would have done the same thing if someone posted on a thread with westboroBAPTISTS or the CHRISTIANidentity movement.

[commonguymd]

What did you say and why did they pull it?

[commonguymd]

nevermind.

[Soliton]

Ask Nancy Grace because she is regular there spouting off about her clients at flds.

I don't watch Nancy Grace
