Your lumping them all together constitutes persecution. If you claim that Jeffs broke the law and is immoral you would be correct. But when you say that the FLDS are immoral and misguided you are incorrect, unless you can prove that every man women and child of the FLDS is immoral and incorrect.
Using your definition of persecute "to annoy with persistent or urgent attacks" you are persecuting the FLDS. Assuming that any FLDS read any of these threads of course : )
If they read these threads of their own free will, that’s not me persecuting them.
Wrong is wrong and saying so is not persecution; it’s stating the facts.
If they don’t like it, too bad. They can portray themselves as martyrs all they like, but nobody is going to buy their whiny pity party that someone said something they didn’t like; well, almost nobody....
