Something I have found quite distasteful in FR with the discussion of the dealings with the cult, and it is a cult--I feel no need to put the word in quotation--is the sense I get that so many men here are identifying with the sexual prerogatives of these nasty old men. This place is a farm for breeding sex slaves. Simple as that. Which, I guess carries a certain erotic charge. The children are isolated and married off young, utterly dominated and confused as to their rights to live their own lives. The boys are abandoned by the side of the road when they become old enough to offer any kind of challenge to the horny old goats that run the place. Picture being the brother of one of these girls who is about to be bred by an old bull who is a relative several times over--

I would encourage you to consider how much of your perception of the mindset of the men posting on FR is really just a projection of your own thoughts.

If you offered non FLDS men the chance to swap places with one of the polygamous FLDS men I doubt you'd find any takers.

Why would any man want to live in such a structured, complex group, working as hard as they do, under the rule of some "prophet" just so that they could have sex with more than one woman? Any guy who wants to do that can have as many sexual partners as he wants -- without the burdens of supporting children, praying twice a day, building a temple, obeying the leader, etc. Ask any single guy who likes women. There is no shortage of single women in the world today.

Why would some guy who just wanted to have sex - even with a young woman - bother with all that effort when he could just jump in his pickup truck and drive to Nevada where he can have whatever he wants for $200?

Why do you think that for over one hundred years a group of FLDS women have chosen to live the lifestyle that they do, teaching their daughters and sons the beliefs (albeit unusual) of their religion? Given that they outnumber the men, and in many cases apparently groups of women run households with only infrequent visits from their "husband" who is off elsewhere working to raise money to support them, wouldn't it be just as logical to conclude that the entire enterprise was somehow of benefit to, or actually liked by the women who participate in it? Or maybe even that they, like the men, really believe in their religion?

Instead of viewing the actions of the FLDS members through your own perspectives and projections, try to examine them from the point of view of someone who believes in their religion the way you believe in yours. Their beliefs may be strange, but I am sure they hold them as deeply as anyone else holds their religious beliefs.

Bah--a hundred years of inbreeding and mistreatment. Scarred and ruined human DNA. Porn for horndogs.

Everything I have read leads me to believe that these WOMEN (married as girls) are controlled and dominated by foul, goatish old men.

check out my taqline.

Probably because they're been threatened with damnation and hellfire if they didn't.

Some choice.
