FULL TITLE: Polygamous fundamentalists say they are victims of 'cultural cleansing' as they are evicted from their homes by the Government

A polygamous group of religious fundamentalists fears their community is being destroyed by 'cultural cleansing'.

Members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints have been evicted from their homes in Hildale, a 100-year-old red rock community on the Utah-Arizona border.

The evictions stem from an order by a Utah state judge who became fed up with people not paying $100-a-month occupancy fees.

I'm for freedom of religion but these people have no one to blame but themselves.

I suppose the Aztecs were claiming the same thing when Cortez decided to put an unambiguous end to the culture of human sacrifice.

[Paul R.]

The article does not seem to explain (that I saw in a quick read) — what are these $100/ month occupancy fees? Rent? Tax? Something else (that we don’t have around here)?

Yep.

Pretty sure it wasn't Christopher Columbus who ate the Anasazi...

Also, pretty sure Christ's definition of marriage - One MAN & One WOMAN, is consistent with order of things observable in His Natural Law.

Got Matthew 19?

Matt 19:4-9

4 "Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,'a 5 and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'?b 6 So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."

7 "Why then," they asked, "did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?"

8 Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9 I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery."

NIV

The "reformed egyptian" bee worshipers might want to RTFM for a change... instead of whatever their cult leaders decide to pull out of Moroni's golden wherever.

They should have paid the occupancy fee

[Morgana]

Do you know why they refused to pay it? Only $100. not like that gonna make them go broke.

[Paul R.]

An extra $100/month would be a fairly serious matter for me.

But, that’s sort of beside the point — no, of course I don’t know why they refused to pay. I don’t even know (and the article does not state) what the $100 “occupancy fee” is really for. Are these people squatters on public property?
