“So does a 34-year-old woman, three middle-age women and five of their children.”

Sure, all “monogamous” couples have a herd of unrelated women and children hanging around.

Amazed? Sadly, no.

He does have a very nice profile page.

That is just one of the reasons I tried to be a good Christian to him.

“You are amazingly smart for a 10 year old! “

It seems I am going backwards.

A few weeks ago, It was claimed I was a 16 year old girl.


“and amazingly patient”

Comes from experience. And from actually being Christian.


“God bless you.”

Thanks, I need all the help I can get.
Same to you.

I’ve got to get ready for work soon.

Feel free to post questions, responses, whatever, to me.

But I won’t be able to respond until this evening.

I just don’t want you to think I am ignoring you.

You're pretty smooth on these threads. Are you some kind of councilor or maybe a hostage negotiator? LOL!

“You’re pretty smooth on these threads.”

Thanks. I do my best to follow the rules, and debate the issues in a civil and courteous manner.


” Are you some kind of councilor or maybe a hostage negotiator?”

No.

But I am an empath.

Back in 2006 Kelly Fischer, an flds member, was convicted in Arizona of marrying and impregnating a 16-year-old girl. The girl was his step-daughter and 3rd 'wife'. He was sentenced to 45 days in the county jail.

He appealed, arguing freedom of religion and that the act of impregnation could have occurred in Utah.

On 8/5/08 the court denied his appeal. Fischer now vows to take this to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Read the decision here.

re 102: “She asked inspectors to check out the home and consider code changes to block compounds."

The woman quoted above was considering asking for a code change to block compounds. What would a municipality or a building department consider a compound?

The FLDS point of view on this:

Texas CPS Wants to Kidnap Eight FLDS Children
By Donald Richter

On Tuesday, August 5, 2008, the Texas CPS filed petitions to place eight FLDS children, ages 5 to 17, back into foster care, claiming that the mothers have failed to protect these children from fathers who are alleged to be involved in underage marriages. CPS claims that the mothers are not cooperating because they have refused to sign safety plans agreeing to protect the children from physical and sexual abuse. An attorney for one of the mothers said that she advised her client not to sign the plan because it could only be used against her in the future and that her client was verbally and physically implementing the plan.

The children involved consist of two sons and a daughter of Barbara Steed Jessop, a daughter of Amy E. Jessop, two daughters of Ellen G. Young, and two daughters of Alice F. Barlow.

This latest action is a continuation of the CPS attack on a minority religion in which children are considered to be at risk because of the belief system of their parents. Fathers have not been convicted of any crimes and are only alleged to represent a risk because of the indictments delivered by the grand jury last month.

That CPS knows there is no immediate threat to these children is obvious from the fact that the hearing on this case is not scheduled until September 25. Even then the supposed danger of physical or sexual abuse cannot be understood according to the common meaning of these terms. No one can pretend that the two boys or the 5-year-old children of either sex are in danger of becoming child brides. Also, whether or not any underage marriages may have occurred in the past, the FLDS have pledged themselves for the future not to engage in any marriage with a “woman under the age of legal consent in the jurisdiction where the marriage takes place.”

What we are seeing here is not a genuine concern for the welfare of children but a blatant attempt to justify the earlier unwarranted action of removing all of the children from the YFZ community.
