Thanks for caring enough to make certain we all know how much you don’t care. ;)
Who is their founding prophet - Joseph Smith
What is their inspired book - Book of Mormon
Who brought polygamy into mormonism- Joseph Smith
Has D&C ever been repealed and taken out - No
Smith married children - 14-year old Helen Mark Kimball
By their fruits yea shall know them.
One of Josephs fruits is the current practice of polygamy by 100,000 fundamentalist Mormons in the United States. One thing is for sure - If it wasnt for Joseph Smith, there wouldnt be thousands of Fundamentalist Mormon families practicing it today.
Ervil LeBaron did a similar takeover of a COTFB congregation.
Only part of the Mormon scriptures they point to is about "One Mighty and Strong". Otherwise they make the rest of it up while they use force to take over.
The LDS stuff is a sham with these people ~ it's a smokescreen for suckers.
Ah, did I miss something? Moslems in many countries are polygamists.
And (HEADS UP!) so far there is ZERO EVIDENCE that these people were doing anything wrong, EXCEPT what you’re being told by the Texas state child welfare workers. Who have an agenda to justify their phoney-baloney jobs. Justice and truth go to last place with these people when their jobs are at stake. We’ve had case after case of false accusations from them, all over the country. Some innocent people died in prison in Mass., as I recall. The state actually suborned perjury to get convictions, which should have sent the prosecutors to jail themselves, but they are still scot free. Anyone remember reading about the Salem witch trials? They still have them in Mass.
Now, this girl who allegedly called police. She can’t be found. Did she even exist?
How many of these poor kids are going to be placed in foster homes run by real molesters? It is NOT exactly a secret that molesters use the welfare agencies to find new victims.
We never got the whole truth about Waco, because so many of the witnesses were burned up, and the FBI wouldn’t allow any independent analysis of the post-fire evidence. Hope this will be different.
Say, $600 per month times 400 children equals $240,000 per month for the compound. Hmmmm less expenses, still a lot of loot. Beats working.
First,
Let’s see Texas in April. hmmmm! AFT & FBI murdered some 50 children and 20+ adults to stop alleged abuse. Govt and media called it a “compound, “cult,” “child abusers.”
What about the constitutional rights of those who owned the property? They acted on the report of one girl. Then get the individual(s)accused. This is Nazi stromtrooper tactics. Just remmeber you might be the govt’s next target- maybe you, maybe you are a dangerous homeschool family who doesn’t beieve in state education. The govt and media can paint anyone anyway they want and the moronic public just nod their heads because this has tv entertainment value. .
FBI murdered Vicki & Sam Weaver same MOP calling it a compound, demonize those alleged, safety of children. The FBI murdered Vicki Weaver because some FBI crackpot psychologist said she though Vicki would murder her children.
If I remember correctly, although it was not God’s will, Abraham and David had many wives, yet God did not enact capital punishment on them. In contrast, God’s judgment on Sodom was severe.
I have my own sources concerning this mess. My interest predates that of the Texas child welfare folks by several decades anyway.
I hope they don’t find anything wrong for the kids sake and ours. If what CPS is is claiming is true , it’s looking kind of bad right now though.
Are you a member of the COTFB?
Wow how convenient of you to leave off the word “fundamentalist” which makes the FLDS NOT part of the mainline LDS church.
Of course you already knew that part but don’t care. Just take your potshots at the actual LDS church who had and have nothing to do with the FLDS people.
Freaking bigot.
I read somewhere that they have about $100,000,000
Abraham and David had many wives
________________________________________
Abraham had one wife and one concubine....
Clinton and Reno would have handled it different.
Storm trooper tactics? Wow. It seems the Texas officials did everything in their power to avoid another Waco.
Can you actually sit at your keyboard and defend the 'spriritual marriage' ie., statutory rape of 13 year old girls by 40+ year old men? I won't even get into the ensuing welfare fraud (400 plus kids...at about $600 each per month...do the math) as the depravity of captive young girls breeding as soon as they are physically able makes me ill. What Texas can't charge these monsters with (and I don't need the media to tell me they are monsters) the Feds will with the Mann Act.
My questions are how did the girl know who & where to phone, and how did she get to a phone? Do you know if they have found her yet?
The GRANDmothers in this case could be under 40. If each generation had their first child at 13 grannie could be pushing 40.
As far as Im concerned, the adult women in that cult are just as bad as the men and they should go to prison, too. This is ghastly! Thank God Almighty the children are out of that hell hole.

That’s probasbly how it was when the false prophet Joseph Smith was running his polygamist mormon cult
Evil, depraved, ghastly...
Yes, quite possible that “Grannie” could be only 40. Today’s children (girls) would have been told by their mothers and grandmothers that this was the way it was in the world (their world anyway). Throw in the religion factor, and I imagine there are some badly mixed up little girls. The boys wouldn’t have escaped this physical & psychological torture either. “This is how women are to be treated” is probably what they have been taught. How any of these people (males, females, adults, and children) are going to be able to function “normally” in the outside world is a mystery. My heart really goes out to them. As for the leaders, Jesus said, “It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin.” (Luke 17:1-3)
