The Death Penalty is the only solution. That is the only way to eridicate it out of society.

I don’t think the problem is which punishment to give.

I think that the problem is the complicated web of protections both real and not real that some criminal activities use by calling themselves a religion.

Texas is a accepting a big challenge by taking on this cult and I thank them for it.

It’s not just the young girls who are victimized. They have to run off large numbers of young boys so the geezers can get their share of the newly pubescent girls. Those boys, of course, have next to no skills how to get along in the outside world.

I am amazed of the stupidity of the crowd here. You guys think that a single raid is going to stop it? Last time this happened it went to court for several years. You think Texas can endure do that? This thing will go to the Supreme court.

Use you brains, the FLDS went to Texas because of that consenting adults ruling for sodomy. My fear is that they are playing rope a dope AND want to get this in court so that it will be legalized or decriminalized just like Texas did with sodomy.

Texas has been setup. The only way to stop it is to increase the punishment to extreme levels and enforce it. You put one of these guys to death and they will stop.

Because I want to make my point. You guys are so naive. One sissy raid won’t stop this.

You sound like a Mormon that is angry at Texas for taking these guys on.

Huh?

Are you delusional or paraniod? Where I am arguing? I mildly happy with the raid and I would be very happy if they could arrest these guys and I would be estatic if they would accidently kill one of them while resisting arrest of course.

Is that anger? You are stupid.

The real threat of polygamy comes not from nut cults but from Islam. Our “leaders” have no problem staging raids on fringe cults but they will think long and hard about doing anything substantive about potential jihadists. And in a PC world Islamic polygamy is quite likely to not just be tolerated but celebrated.

Yes you are. :-)

Tell me N&L, do you believe D&C section 132 to be a commandment of God?

Experts should report to whoever hired them and leave the rest of us be. If they are testifying in court, then maybe it can get reported. This case is being tried in the MSM which means it is bogus.

Really? So, perhaps Joseph Smith was totally wrong when he gave it as God’s command, and was only speaking with his “lower” brain, if ya know what I mean?

Do you believe Joseph Smith was a Prophet of God?
