Patty Hearst reacted the same way to her kidnapping but at a older age. Maybe you should contemplated how kidnappers can twist a victims mind. The similar reactions of both women speaks volumes.
Sorry, that was meant for post #14.
I'm even more skeptical about Patty Hearst's story.
I guess your skeptical about Jaycee Lee Dugard too.
I have absolutely no idea who that is.
Being skeptical of someone’s alibi makes me hateful?
You have never even met me, sounds like your the one full of hate.
You're full of crap. I could name scores of murderers who claimed God told them to do so..........
Using your logic I could successfully make the claim that Christianity was behind more murders than Mormonism......
Somehow I'm not seeing any ISIS sex slaves after weeks of rape and torture brandishing an AK-47, screaming admiral ackbar and leading the charge against her rescuers.
Gotta love it.
A brave young woman goes through hell and now helps others and some Freepers twist it into some anti-Mormon crap.
Maybe so, but does it matter which theology the perbs believe in to make it less wrong?
No its not. Mormonism had an object lesson for girls that if you were raped or had sex at all before marriage you were a licked cupcake or chewed gum and no ‘worthy’ man would want you. Furthermore, leaders taught it was better to be killed than be raped so if you lived you consented to the rape or allowed it. That is why Elizabeth didn’t leave.
For the guy’s part, he believed he was told by God that she was to be his wife. That is common Mormon teaching, he just kidnapped her (in his mind rescued her). Its all based in Mormon theology
That’s an awful accusation.
Then you clearly do not understand Mormon theology. It was the teachings of Mormonism that led him to believe he was doing what God told him.
Also, she could have left but didn’t because she was taught no ‘worthy’ man would want her. Did you know that the Leadership actually had a press release declaring her ‘pure’ after this?
The blame Mormon idiots had a field day because Mom was one of the few mush headed liberals who belonged to the faith. They are the exception and not the rule as any moron can see by looking up the dismal percentage of votes ObaMao actually got in any Mormon majority counties.
Hint: It is the lower than any other denomination including those who take cheap shots at them.
No, I did not know that. Please post the link to that disclosure.......thanks
The j@ck@$$ who kidnapped her wasn’t even a Mormon. They abolished polygamy in 1890. Yeah, there are some tiny fringe groups who still do it but without sanction of mainstream Mormons. Muslims, on the other hand . . .
“President David O. McKay has pleaded:
Your virtue is worth more than your life. Please, young folk, preserve your virtue even if you lose your lives.”
- Prophet Spencer W. Kimball, LDS Prophet, The Miracle of Forgiveness, p. 63
“I know what my mother expects. I know what she’s saying in her prayers. She’d rather have me come home dead than unclean.”
- Gordon B. Hinckley, Conference Report, April 1967, pp. 51-55
He was Mormon but went to a breakoff. And polygamy continued underground until the 1930’s and is still doctrine if not practiced.
So here, let me post it again:
You said:

You seem to have personal hate for this woman. Where does it come from?
