Childish behavior |
Posted on 02/22/2008 9:11:12 AM PST by Zakeet
They're called the "Lost Boys," the teenagers kicked out of their homes and communities by leaders of the polygamist Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to ensure there's an ample supply of single, young women who will one day become plural wives. Representative Lorie Fowlke (R-Orem), is running a bill to make this abandonment a felony.
"Estimates are that we've had more than 1,000 children - primarily in southern Utah - thrown out of their homes," Fowlke says. "What we were trying to do with this bill is criminalize this behavior and send a message to this community that they can't just throw away their children."
H.B. 23 adds child abandonment to the definition of child abuse, and makes it a felony crime. It also adds an enhancement if a parent or organization benefits from the child's abandonment to further an illegal enterprise, such as polygamy. This is the case with the FLDS church, says Roger Hoole, a lawyer who represents some of the displaced young men and sits on the board for the Utah Association for Justice. He says the church benefits from kicking out young men who would compete for plural wives. This, he says, has devastating consequences.
"There's a huge impact that's coming, like a tsunami, that's going to hit the state of Utah, when these boys get a little older and realize what has happened to them and get angry," Hoole says. "There's a real problem here."
Fowlke's bill gained unanimous support in a Senate committee this morning, and now heads to the full Senate for consideration.
Just a heads up.
Even a DEAD venomous snake can poison you if you jack around and manage to stick their fang into your skin!
My prayers are with you, yorkie. May your daddy rest in peace.
So do I understand that you want gentiles to not come to know the mormon way of salvation? Are you placing yourself equal to Christ?
I'm still waiting for his bom-reformed egyptian hieroglyphics interlinear bom edition to come out.
But resty - smittie did fall within the prohibition of Revelation when he modified it as apart of the (proto-canonized) JST (aka IV). As such, he is properly condemned by God.
Deuteronomy 4 2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.
Context resty, context as the above relates to the Mosaic covenant.
hehehe
Don't be holdin' yer breath.
Indeed, according to the article; I hadn't known that.
lolol!
No......it’s a real one. And it couldn’t be ordered in that color. : )
ewwwwwww That's worse than "green eggs and ham." : )
Green ham and eggs!
Now you’ve done gone and changed the doc’s words!
And they no longer go with “Sam I am.” : )
Show me Sanctions in the OT for Abraham and Jacob and other in the various new dispensations the need to be replenished or populated the earth again under the Lord’s priesthood.
This shows that these ordinance have been removed from the scriptures because we know that Lord continue to work with his servants and did bless their posterity, we also know in Genesis that it was a commandment to replenished the earth.
The fact that the word “replenish” was used shows there was a population before!
Gen. 1: 28
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Gen. 9: 1
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
D&C 132: 63
63 But if one or either of the ten virgins, after she is espoused, shall be with another man, she has committed adultery, and shall be destroyed; for they are given unto him to multiply and replenish the earth, according to my commandment, and to fulfil the promise which was given by my Father before the foundation of the world, and for their exaltation in the eternal worlds, that they may bear the souls of men; for herein is the work of my Father continued, that he may be glorified.
Moses 2: 28
28 And I, God, blessed them, and said unto them: Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Moses 5: 2
2 And Adam knew his wife, and she bare unto him sons and daughters, and they began to multiply and to replenish the earth.
Abr. 4: 28
28 And the Gods said: We will bless them. And the Gods said: We will cause them to be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it, and to have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Well that pretty much says it all.
Apparently so. I’m LDS, and I’d have a hard time obeying such a command from God Himself. I wonder that this guy didn’t catch a bullet or six, long ago. Among other things, when I joined the church, I was not asked to give up my intellect, but to use it to find out the truth.
This is wisdom and a fact anyone who truly desire to know more about the Lord will accept a visit from his missionaries or will seach this selves I had a quest for 18 years to search every advenue until I was found my heart desire.
The Book of Mormon is on line the things about the Church is of line for any who are sincere to know and also Missionaries all to happy to talk to anyone who wants to know more.

This is a cop-out resty, are you unable to answer those questions yourself?
Why are FLDS not Mormons?
They claim to be.

So what happened to the 20+ women that Joseph Smith stole from their 1st husbands...????????????
And if the women committed adultery, then Joseph Smith committed adultery also...
And he was already “espoused, (was)with (several) (other) (women) (he)committed adultery, and (was he)destroyed “???
And if not, then why not...
The mormons in these threads keep hounding me to read the bom and other books by “LDS authors”
So now I have...
