“I don’t know how men and women can agree to those terms without leaving the FLDS. “
It’s not that hard for a man to dominate women and children, when you raise them from birth to be obedient to specific ‘rules’.
The men just compete with each other for position. Which is on their knees to the prophet who declared himself THE prophet.
One can attain the level of prophet, in the FLDS, and it’s a title, like bishop.
But, definitely not, God ‘incarnate’.
The men are interchangeable pawns, at least as much, if not more than the women.
That’s that way of the oldest recorded lie: “You won’t die, and you’ll be like gods.”
(I keep thinking that the 5 were told to turn themselves in so that their “wives” could be recycled.)
