Beg to differ. Comparing conservative Mennonites or Old Order Amish to the FLDS is not logical. I feel led to point out that Amish and Mennonite men are generally faithful to one wife and support their own families.

They aren’t perfect, of course, but they each are providing for their families with their own hard work, not via welfare fraud.

It’s a very emotional issue of course, of course. So let’s try to look at the facts, not emotions.

Do we know ... or is there evidence ... that members of this sect were receiving government welfare for the children? I’ve been curious about that.
