1st, yldstrk did not declare her gender until later in the thread. Ignorant of this fact I confess to - but my statement was “Any man that claims to know the mind of God is an idiot, a fool, or insufferably arrogant.” In any case, the :man” in my statement refers to “human”, not a specific gender. I stand by the substance of my statement.

2nd, I didn’t have any problem with her “close relationship to God”. I had a problem with “God wouldn’t want this kind of sick set up believe me.”

As to the meat of my disagreement, read your Bible. God tolerated, in some cases demanded, behavior that would quickly see you shunned or jailed today.

I hate to see someone claim to know every detail of what God wants, or what God will accept.

“God tolerated, in some cases demanded, behavior that would quickly see you shunned or jailed today.”

Which is what this case is all about.


“I hate to see someone claim to know every detail of what God wants, or what God will accept.”

Which is a very valid statement. Warren Jeffs claimed to know every detail of what GOD wants.

If you were given a choice between JEFFS opinion, and yldstrk’s , who would you side with?
