The “FLDS” is what the Theocrocy “State” known as “Deseret” would have been like. The ONLY reason that “Utah” was admitted was that “poligamy” was specifically outlawed and THEN Utah(Deseret) was admitted into the United States.

It’s like he’s some creepy home grown Islamic...

[ZX12R]

He is a sick and evil bastard using religion to satisfy his perversity. He should be castrated, and I hope he gets the crap beat out him in prison...daily.

[GOPJ]

It’s like he’s some creepy home-grown radical muslim... Not all Islamic are this dreadful...

[metmom]

How’s godhood feel now, Warren?

Enjoying it much?

[Boogieman]

Too bad they didn’t have the Mann Act back then, because I’m pretty sure Joey Smith transported a lot of underage women across state lines for immoral purposes!

Smith thought he was above the law anyway. In May 1834, Joseph Smith formed an army called Zion’s Camp and marched his men from Ohio to Missouri to try to put an end to the Missouri conflict.

There are at least two reasons why prosecution of mainstream LDS won’t happen. Reid and Hatch

Harry Reid's "calling" in an official Lds "home teaching" capacity got a positive comment @ the recent FAIR Conference in Sandy, Utah. [FAIR is the "apologists" who attempt to defend Mormonism]

See post #3 @ Perception of Mitt Romney election to presidency would be similar to that of John F. Kennedy...

Hence, the sarcasm marker.

I missed that. My mistake.

In all, lawyers connected to the case have estimated that approximately 1.7 billion pages of evidence was taken in the raid.

Yeah... Sure....

Do NOT let these 'lawyers' do your taxes!

We have a young sister, and her breasts are not yet grown. What shall we do for our sister for the day she is spoken for?

[Elsie]

I think we need in this day & age some mock trials, convicting both Joseph Smith & Brigham Young & other Lds leaders, in abstentia.

"Joseph; I advise you not to go to that jail."

 

"Darn gnats!!"

 

 

"Joseph; I'm telling you to not to go to that jail."

 

"Flies are BAD today!!"

 

 

"Joseph; It ain't gonna be pretty if you ignore me and go to that jail!"

 

"Crummy mosquitos are EVERYWHERE!!!"

 

 

"Joseph!  Do NOT go to that jail!"

 

"And those bedbugs really savaged me last night, too!"

 

 

"JOSEPH!!  Wake up boy!   Do Not Go To That JAIL!!!"

 

"All right Sheriff - here I am, so give me a nice room while my Lawyer, my Advocate, my Comforter presents the LAW to the Judge and I am VINDICATED!!!"

He should be castrated...

   As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves!

He should be “Dahmered.” Extra rations for the prisoner who does the deed.

“State of Deseret”: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_Deseret
“State of Utah”: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah

“During the 1870s and 1880s laws were passed to punish polygamists, and in the 1890 Manifesto, the LDS Church banned polygamy. When Utah applied for statehood again it was accepted. One of the conditions for granting Utah statehood was that a ban on polygamy be written into the state constitution. This was a condition required of other western states that were admitted into the Union later. Statehood was officially granted on January 4, 1896.”

So in any words, lds abandoned one of the foundations of their belief system to become a state. Well, except those lds that didn't and of course there is the marriage of the dead to each other for eternal polygamy. We'll just go with lds gave up the practice.

Thanks for posting this, Foxx.

I like it when apostates (of any religion) are caught with their pants down. ;o]

That is not entirely correct. Polygamy - mormon style - was illegal throughout the entire course of its existance. When the manifesto was issued, the most recent law provided 'teeth' to enforce existing law - disinfranchisement of the mormon church and jail for its leaders and polygamists.

The prophet saw the writing on the wall. However, it was the secret plan to continue polygamy in secret and try to overturn the laws in place. Hence the leadership continued the practice - until slapped down by the law again via the Smoot hearings. Polygamy continued under cover by leadership into the early 1900's.
