The worst allegations come from former members of the cult themselves. It’s not the government’s allegations about what went on; it’s former wive’s and nephew’s, kicked out men and boys.
The government isn’t making up the charges, it’s investigating what’s been reported to it, as it should. If the people can’t go to the government for help and protection against wrongdoing, what’s left?
We expect our government to protect us from foreign enemies and terrorists and praise them when they do. Why can’t and shouldn’t they be expected to protect us from domestic enemies and terrorists? Must we let the enemy within destroy us as the enemy without can’t do?

While some of what they say may be true, spurned people are not the greatest of witnesses. Holding grudges for being kicked out or forced to leave is a mighty powerful reason to want harm done to those who did it. I’m not saying that what they say is false, but it bears a lot of looking into before reactions are made.

If the government had enough evidence to begin with, then why go in on what is now a phony call from someone in Colorado? I’ve heard that the Sheriff knew beforehand that the man in question was not in Texas and hadn’t been for a number of years. Yet they still went in with a warrant that was patently false looking for a man who was not there and a girl who was a ficticious person. Again, not the steadiest of grounds to be standing upon.
Removing children from monogamous parents? “Deciding” that a girl was under 18 and making her child a ward of the state? Government power run amok. And it’s only going to get worse.
