So the only problem now is convincing the state of Texas that they are co-operating with honesty and integrity, something they’re not known for doing and something they haven’t done in the past.

Have you noticed the similarities between them, who advocate and encourage their followers to lie to the outside world which they teach is of the devil, and other groups? That sure sounds awfully familiar. I wonder where I could have heard that from? (Yeah, right)

Ah yes, we have confiscated all your children for their own good and haven't charged any of you with a crime. Is that a problem?

Skordas said the best thing FLDS members could do right now is fully cooperate with authorities in their investigation, because that would likely result in getting their children back sooner.

The government isn't responsible for thier mistakes because by god acting on an anonymous phone call, one which by law must remain anonymous, is acting in good faith. No where does the U.S. Constitution state that you have a right not to incrminate yourself. No where does it state that you cannot have your property searched and your children kidnapped by the governement based on fraud. No where does it state that you have the right to face your accussors. No where does it state that you have a right to a speedy trial.

Oh wait, it does state all those things. I must have just missed the part of the U.S.Constitution where the government was granted the right to kidnap your kids, without due process, for your childrens for their own good. Ah, now I feel better. So glad the government is here to protect me from myself, what a relief knowing this.

So Texas takes EVERY pregnant 14-year old from their family? Or just the polygamous ones?

When Texas starts doing what they did to the the FLDS to every pregnant teen-ager, ping me. When they break-up every 16-year old shackup situation, ping me. When Texas prosecutes non-polygamous guys sleeping with more than one woman, ping me.

Assuming they are going back. What has changed from the initial situation they were removed from?

The last sentence of the topic puzzles me. In essence, if the FLDS adults cooperate, they likely would get their children back sooner.

Would these children possibly be sent back to the same lifestyle from which they were removed? Of course that makes no sense at all. The established mothers of the children would have to give up their polygamous ways and move into the "outside" world. If the fathers have children by multiple women, I guess they'll have to choose one and hope she'll want him.
