You are comparing this cult to family farmers? Wow, are you ever off base.
I sure know what a family farm is. This was not a family farm, there were no empolyees and to compare the cult to the family farm shows you ignorance.
Now you are calling a man living with his harem of women as a single family home. I wouldn’t call it that. Calling it a whorehouse would be more appropriate, seeing as the man is the whore.
Look at this photo. The homes are huge. If you want to go one believing that those buildings housed mostly a man, woman and their children, go ahead.

I am not comparing this group to family farmers- you were!
I said you can call them a cult or whatever for their beliefs- but to say the way they set that place up is the reason they are a cult just ain’t so.
So now it is the size of the homes that is a problem? So are those in McMansions cultists too?
It is their beliefs, and what they may (I say may- because I haven’t seen it, but likely since they don’t deny it) do behind closed doors that make them a cult, not the way they live- that is the point I am trying to get through to you.
Apparently you don't. It's quite common, in much of the great plains, to have multiple dwellings on the same property, owned by either a single person, or a corporation. Generally they are parents and one or more grown children, living in separate residences. If a corporation owns the land, and runs the "business" that is the farm or ranch, then the corporation must pay the family members so they can eat, buy cars, etc, although even cars are sometimes owned by the corporation, certainly trucks and farm equipment are.
Sure the buildings are huge, they house mulitiple families, but same is true, only more so, of any apartment building in New York City or Chicago, including ones owned and run by the government, where underage girls are being impregnated by older men all the time, although under different, and generally less lasting arrangements.
But all that doesn't matter.They are a cult, and thus not protected by the laws of the State of Texas, or the Constitutions of Texas and the US..right?
