And they all spoke as if they were using a falsetto, instead of having voices of mature women. That's part of their gentle and meek countenance, I suppose, but I found it very disturbing.
These woman "have" to believe this cult crap, or they would realize how stuck they were with no future for themselves and their children. No education. No friends on the outside. No freedom. No independence. They'd have to face what their parents let happen to them. So the cycle continues.
I must've seen the same interview. It's a very simple, straight-up proposition: either underaged girls have gotten pregnant and had children, or they have not. If they have, the law was broken and these women did nothing to protect their children. In a small community, any one of the women would have to know. I lived in a much larger small town and everyone knew everything. And we weren't FLDS; just plain old small-town Americans.

That part was weird, agreed. My immediate reaction was similar; that their husbands may have wanted them to talk that way, because it is meek and child-like.

But at some point, like every woman and man who have done the brave thing and left, they know it is wrong. They at least have to know it is illegal, because they are told not to talk to the public or law enforcement, at least according to reports of those who have left, for fear of arrest. I don't hold them as responsible as the men, but darned close.
“These woman “have” to believe this cult crap, “
I read that over a hundred women chose to go to a women’s shelter rather than return to their wonderful home.
