...But doesn't the state have an obligation to protect these young women, even if they say marriage and pregnancy at 16 is what they believe in and want? Statutory rape is OK under the guise of religion? ....

there are only 17 boys 14 to 17 years old, compared with the 53 girls in that age range.

How can that be? And why? < / sarcasm >

[Revelation 911]

On Tuesday, a spokesman for the Texas Child Protective Services said that nearly 60 percent of the underage girls taken in the raid have children or are pregnant. Of the 53 girls between the age of 14 and 17 who are in custody, 31 have either given birth or are expecting.

The lost boys, thrown out of US sect so that older men can marry more wives

Up to 1,000 teenage boys have been separated from their parents and thrown out of their communities by a polygamous sect to make more young women available for older men, Utah officials claim.

Many of these "Lost Boys", some as young as 13, have simply been dumped on the side of the road in Arizona and Utah, by the leaders of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (FLDS), and told they will never see their families again or go to heaven...

ISLAMIC MORMONISM

An Irreverent Essay

The Coincidental Similarities
Between Islam and Mormonism

excerpt:

The similarities between Islam and Mormonism may be much more than coincidence. There is a strong indication that Joseph may have studied Islam, just as he studied Masonry, Judaism and Catholicism, and incorporated bits and pieces of all four religions into Mormonism. Consider the following quote:

If the people will let us alone, we will preach the gospel in peace. But if they come on us to molest us, we will establish our religion by the sword. We will trample down our enemies and make it one gore of blood from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean. I will be to this generation a second Mohammed, whose motto in treating for peace was “the Alcoran [Qar’an] or the Sword.” So shall it eventually be with us — “Joseph Smith or the Sword!”[17]

Quit shedding tears for these sorry mothers, who have their sons dumped on the side of the road like unwanted dogs, because they are too brainwashed by this cult to care about their sons’ well-being. They are definitely unfit mothers. This is expected behavior in the animal kingdom, but not for human beings.

Texas authorities cancel warrant for man accused of abusing FLDS girl

Hey, guys, I am not defending the flds men. In fact I think they’re a bunch of disgusting pigs.

When the government went in there and rounded up all the children, separating them from their mothers and dumping them in foster homes, come on, FReepers, that just can’t be right. And all on a false report.
