Does it bother anyone that the children don’t even know who their parents are?”

I think it bothers this judge alot.

I am glad to see that she isn’t going to be a pushover.

The fact that the mothers won’t help to ID the kids and who the fathers are is a real indication that they know they have crossed a really bigline in the society of the USA.

Calling this group a “church” and letting them live this life-style and call it a “religion” is beyond disgusting.

These women have been raised knowing only the domination of the older men, and they know no other rules for life.
I really feel sorry for the whole lot of the women and the children, and also the young men-AKA LOST BOYS- who are turned out on a local road with no money and no contacts to go make their way in the world. It is very apparent that the older men don’t want the younger ones to be any sort of competition for attention to the women.
This is going to take years to untangle, and some of these women will never be independent.

“Because they’re white christians.”

You have GOT to be kidding. Jesus taught His followers to obey their government, and that was the lovely Romans. St. Paul wrote, “Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient.” (Titus 3:1) and in Hebrews 13:17, “Obey your leaders and submit to their authority.” Only when the government orders Christians to disobey God are we given permission to disobey government.

It bothers everyone ~ at the same time many of the folks expressing no concern about that have relatively recent sign-up dates and may well be part of the F(lds).

If you aren't sure about the background of the poster, check the date they signed up. Check their homepage.

You may consider these folks to be Christians

I don't consider old married men raping little girls folk, they are subhuman. No offense to animals intended.

We all have a right to have the government act to prevent others from violating our Constitutional rights.

The state can stand between an abusive mother and her newborn child. And one more Supreme Court Justice and we may have returned to the standard that the state can stand between a murderer and her intended victim!

I really don't like this looseness that allows the murderers to walk the streets with impunity and to slaughter the innocent. Do you?

Not sure all the Mormons are defending the F(lds) ~ sounds more like they don't want us referring to the F(lds) members as Mormons.

At the same time some of the F(lds) supporters sound about as ignorant as we would expect members of that gang to sound and they may be members.

All is not as it seems apparently.

“But oh no. NOt the wacky mormons fringe loonies. THey aren’t allowed.

Why? Because they’re white christians. Double standard.

Don’t even try to deny it.”


Not everyone here knows that part of the cults teachings, you should have posted it.

Warren Jeffs transcript:

On Race http://www.myeldorado.net/YFZ%20Pages/YFZ040305.html

“You see some classes of the human family that are black, uncouth, or rude and filthy, uncomely, disagreeable and low in their habits; wild and seemingly deprived of nearly all the blessings of the intelligence that is usually bestowed upon mankind.”
“So I give you this lesson on the black race that you can understand its full effects as far as we are able to comprehend. And that we must beware – if we are for the prophet, the priesthood – we will come out of the world and leave off their dress, their music, their styles, their fashions; the way they think, what they do, because you can trace back and see a connection with immoral, filthy people.”
“It was necessary that the Devil should have a representation upon the earth as well as God. So Ham’s wife that was preserved on the Ark was a Negro of the seed of Cain and there was a priestly purpose in it, that the Devil would have a representation as well as God.
“So the Negro race has continued, and today is the day of the Negro as far as the world is concerned. They have influenced the generations of time; they have mixed their blood with many peoples, until there are many peoples not able to hold the priesthood. …
“And the lesson is, if anyone mingles their seed, their bloodline, with the seed of Cain, the Negro, they also would lose all rights and priesthood blessings.”

So, would it be the Shiites watching the Sunnis, or visa versa?

"I'm dumbfounded they would suggest that."

The ignorance of this judge isn't going to stop here. I read today where two LDS missionaries were attacked, being lumped in with these miscreants.

This judge is opening a whole can if worms - for one thing, people don't need a building to pray in - one can pray where ever they are...we say our prayers in our homes...

for another thing, if the judge thinks they need a church to pray in - ask ALL the churches in the area.

To ask the LDS church, which has NO connection with these people, is beyond belief...and can precipitate some real trouble

OK, fair enough. Now, tell me, when is the congregation of the Holy Reverend Wright in Chicago, where nearly identical stuff has been preached (with the races in the narrative reversed) going to be raided, its children kidnapped, separated from their mothers, 78% of whom are collecitng welfare, etc, etc? Because that was the whole point of the posts to which you responded.

““Does it bother anyone that the children don’t even know who their parents are?”

You are right. It was discussed a lot yesterday.

If I may add a new (maybe) aspect to it...

The children may know who their real parents are... but that may not be the ‘mother’ and ‘father’ they are living with.

Ask the foxes to guard the chicken coop.

Bullseye!!!!

As I said - the judge's ignorance will precipitate more trouble AND IGNORANCE - it's already raising it's ugly head here.

A cult is a group with a single mind and it is united in purpose and is closed to outsiders, it is especially closed to routine law enforcement.

In a cult that has mothers, fathers, and children only and the crimes they are suspected of are of the mothers and fathers conspiring to breed children, isolate them and brainwash them for rape and continued polygamous relationships to feed the enclosed cycles, then the only way to stand a chance of breaking the cycles and the rapes, is to act as Texas has.

We are not an impotent nation and it is not beyond our abilities to deal with this (or had better not be), and Texas has decided to confront it and try to save children.


What you said is so important, I had to repost it.

You and I have had disagreements prior to this, but it seems we are on the same wavelength on the reality of what has happened with this case.

Thanks.

Perhaps the request from the judge came in response the the fLDS women asking for their scripture, the Book of Mormon, to be brought to them.

The judge complied with the request. The fLDS and LDS have the same scripture, they same hymnbook, and share the reverence for early LDS Prophets, and so the judge rightly concluded that they would have more in common ways of worship than other religions who do not.

I believe "Choose Ye This Day" was referring to your remark : "Ask the foxes to guard the chicken coop."

You didn't answer the question. But I take it to mean that you are lumping the LDS church in with these miscreants.

This judge shows great ignorance in asking the LDS Church to get involved with these people. And her ignorance may cause others to grab it as a chance to exercise their bigotry which may override common sense and decency.

You say you "happen to have a deep relationship with God, in case you want to know."

Better hope so, for He doesn't like bigotry.

"Jim Jones’cult was worshipped by the media and the politicians, same for the Oaklan’s Your Muslim Bakery Cult. What’s the difference? You said it — it’s an unindicted sexual crime to be a white man today!

I thought that the subject of your post on this thread was the FLDS, so I naturally took the "White man" to mean the white only FLDS and/or their leader that teaches white supremacy especially because you called it a "sexual crime" which again is what this thread is about, the sex crimes of the FLDS.

yldstrk:”I happen to have a deep relationship with God,”

clee1: “Any man that claims to know the mind of God is an idiot, a fool, or insufferably arrogant.”

First, yldstrk stated that she is female. So I guess that show’s who is ‘ignorant’.

Second, Claiming to have a deep relationship with God, is not claiming to ‘know’ the mind of God.

Devoted study of the Bible is one way to have a deep relationship with God.


I am not sure what you are disagreeing on with yldstrk, but I can see you choose to call her names in lieu of supporting your own beliefs.

“Yep. And to hell with the rights of the mothers and the children! THE JUDGE KNOWS BEST!”

First, their ‘rights’ aren’t being violated.

Second, they had no ‘rights’ at the compound.

Third, The JUDGE probably does know best, since there is high probability that many of the women and children are from slightly to severely retarded.
