These FLDS family members want their children back.

However, they won’t give their names, or use aliases.
They admit they have multiple wives, but won’t name them.
They change their stories constantly.
They won’t (men) give their DNA to the State for testing.

They don’t believe they are doing anything wrong.
They have been raised their whole life on that belief.
They have been taught that the ‘outsiders’ will come after them and they must lie to the ‘outsiders’ to protect themselves.
They are repeatedly told the end of the world is coming (the PROPHET’S GREAT PREDICTIONS), and that they must hold out until it happens.
Each time it doesn’t happen, Jeffs makes a new prediction.

And they wonder why their children aren’t being returned.

Someone mentioned that there are monogamous couples living on the Ranch. The FLDS doctrine states that one must have three wives minimum, or one is booted out.

If Warren Jeffs decides he doesn’t like you, your wives and children are taken away, and you fall into the not enough wives category. How convenient.

The doctrine isn’t that men get booted out of the community for having fewer than 3 wives, it’s that neither they nor their wife/wives can enter into the “celestial kingdom”, the highest level of Heaven. Doctrine also requires striving towards reaching the celestial kingdom, so any man who doesn’t have 3+ wives must be striving to acquire more. Announcing he doesn’t want anymore would be heretical, and would probably get him kicked out and his wife/wives and children “reassigned”.

They sound a lot like Crystal Gail Mangum, From the Duke lacrosse hoax.
