SAN ANGELO — A Texas judge on Sunday ordered law enforcement officials to immediately confiscate all cell phones in the possession of FLDS women and children now housed in temporary quarters here. "I just called to say, hi. They are about to collect the phones, I think," one soft-spoken FLDS woman said during a telephone call to another member of the Fundamentalist LDS Church who was outside of the shelter. "I don't like what they're doing."
Several of the women inside the shelters spoke by cell phone to the Deseret News on Saturday to describe the living conditions there. Children could be heard crying in the background of each conversation. The News published an article on Sunday, quoting the women who complained there was no privacy and that their children were getting sick.
FLDS faithful outside the shelter are convinced Sunday's court order is a direct result of the women speaking to the newspaper.
"This is nothing more than retaliation of Child Protective Services to punish those who were disclosing what is really happening behind the walls of this concentration camp," said Don, an FLDS member who asked that his last name not be used. "These are my family members."

Keep posting,
I haven’t had a good laugh in the last hour or so ;)
“The church currently practices the law of placing, whereby a young woman of marriageable age is assigned a husband by revelation from God to the leader of the church, who is regarded as a prophet.[38]
The prophet elects to take and give wives to and from men according to their worthiness. Wives may be taken from one man and reassigned to men that are more worthy.”
How convenient.
“Oh, yeah, CAROLYN JESSOP. The one who has been speaking to the media as a rep. for all the ‘FLDS wives’.”
Sorry, that was wrong.
She was trying to get her ‘real’ kids out of the compound, and back in ‘her arms’.
LOL!
Thanks, nice to see you back.
You late for you AAA meeting???
Yes, read some of your other posts, you definitely have gone off the wagon.
WHAT!?!? You forgot your sarcasm tag, right? Has ANYONE of these women been arrested and charged with a crime? ANY ONE of the men? No? Has ONE iota of evidence been discovered that proves the children are in any kind of danger?
Then please tell me what part of the US Constitution allows for LE to suspend their rights because of what they MIGHT say or hear?
Sheesh! "Government Shrinker", my a$$....
I can go one better. Obviously someone entrapped in a cult (i.e., Mormonism) is so controlled by said cult that he/she is rendered incapable of any reasoning skills at all, and should be prohibited from voting on those grounds.
Me too.
“Has ONE iota of evidence been discovered that proves the children are in any kind of danger?”
Actually, TONS OF EVIDENCE, and a 100 year HISTORY of UNDERAGE SEX WITH MINORS.
But..... you are only on post #6, and we are all on post 600+.
Frankly, you are making a big *ss out of yourself, but you aren’t the first.
I don’t think anyone, male or female, should be allowed to vote.
Based on recent politics, this FLDS issue, tree huggers, Global Warming, etc.
After all, everyone having the right to vote is how we got where we are with Hillary, Obama, and McCain (well, at least you think your vote counted).
It is a wonder we survive at all, as a country, with all the deluded, misguided, and uninformed voters we have.
But... we are free to vote,male and female.
Even if it doesn’t count.
LOL exactly....Its a mixed up world all around isn’t it...
If you think about it what you said makes sense. Because they obey their husbands orders they will vote as he says to do ...Shaking my head again!
“Which form of govt do you prefer???? “
I don’t know. Kind of a loosely organized tribal meeting thing.
Any problems that occur on the tribal level as solved by sacrificing a virgin to the volcano god.
Government to be run by donations of Orange Crush.
Late night ocean swimming parties, sand castle contests on the beach.
Pig roasts, music, and dancing back in the center of camp.
All voting is done by ‘grunts’.
ROFLOL!
Dang, but you are gullible.
I don't see how people cannot be inconvenienced in dealing with a potential crime investigation. That does not equate to losing our Constitutional rights. There will be charges brought, if possible. There will be a trial held, as should be. If the person is declared innocent, the government drops it.
Only if the government didn't, would the Constitutional rights be violated. I don't see any guarantee in the Constitution that we won't be inconvenienced if we're suspected of a crime. At that rate, no crime could be properly investigated.
Just for tonight I will give you a pass for any challenging posts simply for stating “Late night ocean swimming parties, sand castles contests on the beach”. Should you post anything really stupid you may have to remind me of that.
