Anti-polygamist activists have lauded Texas.
"They have done what we have been trying to get Utah and Arizona do for a
100 years and that is protect children," said Flora Jessop, who was raised in an
FLDS community from which she fled when she was a teenager. "I say God bless
Texas."
Good.
Well, the Mormons tried it with the entire US at the very start, and they lost that round, too. This resulted in their official abandonment of polygamy and some of the more violent, cultic aspects of their religion, with the result that only splinter groups like the FLDS continue these practices.
Polygamy is really a form of slavery and these people have essentially been released from slavery and from the mentality of a slave-culture. They’re still going to be very damaged, because this should actually have happened years ago, but at least they have a chance now.
Utah is still looking the other way when it comes to enforcing laws that the polygamist sects continue to break.
Come on Utah, show us what you really believe!
(oh, I guess you already have)
Now when are we going to apply this to the illegal aliens, and the gangs, etc.?
Don't forget, for all kinds of source links and info, check out the FLDS Daily Thread.
This is not entirely true. FLDS has a history of taking over the towns they infiltrate through sheer numbers of votes and the sect's collective wealth. Eldorado was chosen for a reason, and I'm sure that the intent was to turn it into another Colorado City or Hildale. With these guys, it is all about power and control, not only within their polygamist families, but the environment in which they live.
Sorry to post and run, but I have been too busy to spend much time on FR lately.
As a woman born and raised in the United States, I cannot believe that ANY woman would EVER agree to be in a polygamous situation unless she’s been brainwashed or threatened or just too disenfranchised or abused to realize she deserves to be monogamous or to be a single woman living her life with dignity and safety.
We American women have a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, meaning, in part, our own lives and the freedom to share our lives with decent men who will respect us and love us.
Why don’t these women just pick up some cast iron skillets and clobber their pedophile creepy husbands up side the head?
I must join that.....”I say God bless
Texas.”
Polygamy is wrong and against the law but far worse is the way this was turned into a sex cult for the leaders. The woman look so stupid and brainwashed. Most of it not their fault. The whole granny dress stuff is cult like and brainwashing. And the way the young men were booted so the older men got the young women for their 5th and 6th wives is piggish and immoral
