Sure, I understand that. It is CPS that is stating they have “yet to identify her” which in the context of their statment it means they can’t find her. As in she is not there.
You just missed my post number 392. Look up two posts...
One of the things that bothers me the most about these tactics, is that folks seem to sign on to them without questions. Is this the type of law enforcement we want whenever criminality is suspected? If so, we're in for a bumpy ride.
In this case I don’t think LE “stormed” the compound. I agree, even if we think these people are nuts, we should respect their rights. If there is a legitimate concern about abuse though, the LE authorities have to investigate. Up until now, although the locals weren’t thrilled with their presence, they tolerated them.
It seems to me that some method could have been found to interrogate the kids at the farm. If just cause could then have been found, I’m all for escalating the situation.
This wholesale incarceration doesn’t set well with me.
I may be wrong, but I do find this troublesome.
I agree that they should have launched an investigation. I have no problem with that. If criminality is suspected, you have to.
I'd rather see a Mormon like Romney POTUS than a lying phony corrupt "Christian" Democrat like Obama or Hillary.
When I said LE, I meant real LE, not CPS. One of the updates said they found evidence and maybe that is why they began removing people.

Folks can say what they want about these folks being flakes, but those buildings don’t look like the work of a bunch of losers.
Even a nut can build a solid building. Hitler proved that.
I would have voted for Romney in a second if I had thought he agreed with my view of conservatism. If these arrests had taken place and many convictions had been obtained, I wouldn’t judge him to have been of the same mind as the perps.
Are you saying you wouldn’t have voted for him based on his religion? I don’t think that’s your attitude. I don’t think a broad of cross section of society looks at this any differently than you or I do. And if they did, I’ll bet some education in the process of the political campaign would have convinced them otherwise.
Yes but Hitler wasn’t limited to a 200 member community on a farm. Was this farm getting funding from other churches around the country?
Ooooohhh, those big bad Baptist buses!
Really, who cares how they were brought out!
In fact they are staying at the Baptist Church. They are being fed and cared for by those evil baptists!
s
I believe it was.
Well that could be. And if so, I suppose your point could be reasoned.
What happens if these people are held in local jails and lose their jobs? They lose the farm, the families are split to the far corners of the region, thirty charges are bought, and one or two people are convicted of anything on a count or two each?
Is the utter destruction of this community going to be justified?
It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Perhaps much more criminality would be found, than I suspect.
If the candidate were a Conservative, he would most likely be of better character than a Liberal, IMHO.
The Baptist buses were used and the women and children are staying at the local Baptist Church. Can you not see how offensive that is? sarc/
I agree MTR. Thanks for the follow-up comments.
Actually the first buses went in on Thursday. The school buses were tied up, you know with schoolkids.
No worries, several of us have now been labeled as vipers!
Have you reached that kingdom yet?

“I don’t understand the Baptist bashing here.”
On all Mormon threads there is an effort to demonize Baptists and often evangelicals, which the Mormons strive to identify only as Baptist, and for the Mormons to try to separate them from the pack of the other Christian churches.
I think the main reason is that the Mormons want to attempt to minimize the totality of agreement by their Christian opposition.
It does work, as you have seen on many threads, a lot of Catholics and other denominations don’t know that their church does not recognize Mormonism as Christian, and they sometimes see that view as a bigoted view limited to some hick evangelicals, especially many Catholics do not know the very clear position that the church takes on the Mormon cult.
