Thank you very much. I don’t know much about polygamy but this notion that teen girls being married and having sex is the same as pedophilia strikes me as odd.

My ancestors were married in their teens.

However....some of the other allegations about Jeff’s group like this Jessop woman makes do trouble as does the notion of the alleged welfare fraud and turning boys out.

Can you share your perspective on that?

One thing I have noticed about polygamy in Arab cultures that is dangerous is that the wealthy men can get the lion’s share and one ends up with a lot of frustrated angry young men.

This notion that say, a pastor or a priest could "assign" a 13, 14, or 15 yo girl to marry a 40 or 50 yo man who already has a wife & multiple other sexual partners strikes me as what the media would clearly call it other circumstances: Spiritual and sexual abuse, seductive pedophilia, and abuse of authority.

And your defense of all these things tells us precisely where you stand...and that your neighbors should be a lil' more protective of their 13 yo daughters.
