BREAKING NEWS UPDATE: Authorities enter Eldorado-area temple (Fundamentalist LDS cult)

Go San Angelo ^ | 5 April 08 | Paul A. Anthony

[SkyPilot]

Local and state officials entered the temple of a secretive polygamist sect late Saturday, said lawmen blockading the road to the YFZ Ranch near Eldorado.

The action comes hours after local prosecutors said officials were preparing for the worst because a group of FLDS members were resisting efforts to search the structure.

The Texas Department of Public Safety trooper and Schleicher County sheriff’s deputy confirmed that officials have entered the temple but said they had no word on whether anything occurred in the effort.

The incursion into the temple caps the three-day saga of the state’s Child Protective Services agency removing at least 183 women and children from the YFZ Ranch since Friday afternoon. Eighteen girls have been placed in state custody since a 16-year-old told authorities she was married to a 50-year-old man and had given birth to his child.

Saturday evening, ambulances were brought in, said Allison Palmer, who as first assistant 51st District attorney, would prosecute any felony crimes uncovered as part of the investigation inside the compound.

“In preparing for entry to the temple, law enforcement is preparing for the worst,” Palmer said Saturday evening. They want to have “medical personnel on hand in case this were to go in a way that no one wants.”

Apparently as a result of action Saturday night at the ranch, about 10:15 p.m. Saturday, a Schleicher County school bus unloaded another group of at least a dozen more women and children from the compound.

Although members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, or FLDS, have provided varying degrees of cooperation to the sheriff’s deputies and Texas Rangers searching the compound, all cooperation stopped once authorities tried to search the gleaming white temple that towers over the West Texas scrub, Palmer said.

“There may be those who would oppose (entry) by placing themselves between law enforcement and the place of worship,” Palmer said Saturday afternoon. “If an agreement cannot be reached … law enforcement will have to — as gently and peaceably as possible — make entry into that place.”

Sect members consider the temple, dedicated by then-leader of the sect Warren Jeffs in January 2005 and finished many months later, off-limits to those who are not FLDS members, said Palmer, who prosecutes felony cases in Schleicher County.

Palmer said she didn’t know the size or makeup of the group inside the temple.

The earlier refusal to provide access was even more disconcerting because CPS investigators have yet to identify the 16-year-old girl or her roughly 8-month-old baby among the dozens removed from the compound, Palmer said.

“Anytime someone says, ‘Don’t look here,’” she said, “it makes you concerned that’s exactly where you need to look.”

The girl told authorities in two separate phone calls a day apart that she was married to a 50-year-old man, Dale Barlow, who had fathered her child, Palmer said.

The joint raid included the Texas Rangers, CPS, Schleicher County and Tom Green County sheriff’s deputies and game wardens from the Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife.

Although CPS and Department of Public Safety officials have described the compound’s residents as cooperative, Palmer disagreed.

“Things have been a little tense, a little volatile,” she said.

Authorities removed 52 children Friday afternoon and 131 women and children overnight Friday. About 40 of the children are boys, said CPS spokeswoman Marleigh Meisner.

No further children have been taken into state custody since Friday, when 18 girls were judged to have been abused or be at imminent risk for abuse. CPS has found foster homes for the girls, Meisner said, and will place them after concluding its investigation.

Meisner declined to comment on the fate of the 119 other children and said authorities were still searching the ranch for others Saturday evening.

“They’re in the process of looking,” she said. “They’re literally about halfway through.”

But don’t confuse them with the facts.

But that is their only hope!

It will be hard to say that what I posted is "my opinion".

31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

THE BOOK OF JACOB
THE BROTHER OF NEPHI

CHAPTER 2

 

  24 Behold, David and Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was abominable before me, saith the Lord.
  25 Wherefore, thus saith the Lord, I have led this people forth out of the land of Jerusalem, by the power of mine arm, that I might raise up unto me a righteous branch from the fruit of the loins of Joseph.
  26 Wherefore, I the Lord God will not suffer that this people shall do like unto them of old.
  27 Wherefore, my brethren, hear me, and hearken to the word of the Lord: For there shall not any man among you have save it be one wife; and concubines he shall have none;
  28 For I, the Lord God, delight in the chastity of women. And whoredoms are an abomination before me; thus saith the Lord of Hosts.
  29 Wherefore, this people shall keep my commandments, saith the Lord of Hosts, or cursed be the land for their sakes.
  30 For if I will, saith the Lord of Hosts, raise up seed unto me, I will command my people; otherwise they shall hearken unto these things.
  31 For behold, I, the Lord, have seen the sorrow, and heard the mourning of the daughters of my people in the land of Jerusalem, yea, and in all the lands of my people, because of the wickedness and abominations of their husbands.
  32 And I will not suffer, saith the Lord of Hosts, that the cries of the fair daughters of this people, which I have led out of the land of Jerusalem, shall come up unto me against the men of my people, saith the Lord of Hosts.

Resty, where do you get this stuff?

Why.... from Headquarters in SLC; of course!

[Elsie]

none of the mainstram cared so far about what the scriptures really say!

Give it up, Girl!

It's been SHOWN that YOUR Organization's founder and leaders did NOT follow what Scripture said about leaders of the church having only one wife.

Quit repeating the manta that YOUR organization has washed your brain with.

[Elsie]

When did OMM gvie you permission to share his freepmail?

SEE!!!

[Elsie]

You obviously are an untrustworthy scumbag. There will never be any further private conversations between us.

SEE!!

[Elsie]

Sky Pilot, you've been around FR long enough to know that an honorable freeper does not reveal private freepmails by posting them on a thread unless permission is granted.

I was thinking about sending YOU a PRIVATE reply, calling you all sorts of names and questioning YOUR motives, knowing that you are 'honorable' and would just take it on the chin.

---

YOU'VE been around FR long enough to know that one of the last things an LDS apologist will try is the old - "a REAL Christian would not act the way you do" tactic.

---

You've ALSO been around FR long enough to know that OMM is merely a name caller and a provocateur, seldom adding anything of substance to the discussion.

[Elsie]

What source does the Bible have for backing up what it says

The same standards should the same for judging all doctrine!

Note to self:

If ever on trial, and RESTORNU shows up in the jury pool...

[Elsie]

Could be in some cases but I haven't read that account in Jacob/Israel family tree.

Even if you DID read it; you WILL believe how your 'teachers' explain it to you!

[Elsie]

I don’t care who you are; that’s funny.

And...

...the source of Resty's claim of HIGHER and LESSER!

[Elsie]

Hey!

I didn't READ that in there!

[Elsie]

Maybe you should read it again.

No need to.

Our teachers have told us what it means.

4. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

I shall, of course, hold my breath.

OMM warn me about you!

The BIBLE warns US about YOU!

Matthew 10:14listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town.

I am confused on this one how can there be rivalry with a only child?

Think about it, then ask GOD for the truth of it.

[Elsie]

Tennessee Nana I am human and still struggling and when you and a few others continue to slander my faith with your interpretation.

Your 'faith' gets slandered by the very men that STARTED it; not us!

Read THEIR words - listen to THEIR voices: that is ALL we are trying to do here.
