FLDS found 100% innocent in courts

She declared that the courts are sending the children back to people obviously guilty of everything CPS has accused them of. And the way she did it was just unbelievable too. I half expected to start seeing foam coming from her mouth.

I'm sure some of those books are quite factual. I would not, however, suggest "Under the Banner of Heaven." The problem with it is that it strongly implies a relationship between the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its more fanatical offshoots that simply doesn't exist. For example, the book focuses on brothers Dan and Ron Lafferty, who murdered Ron's wife and infant daughter, supposedly because God told them to. These two men were not LDS; they had been excommunicated from the Church long before they committed their horrible crime. But Jon Krakauer leads the reader to believe that is was their one-time association with Mormonism that precipitated the murders. There are sick, perverted people in every religion. To me, the fact that the LDS Church told these two losers to get lost is commendable. To Krakauer, the fact that they were at one time LDS was just a good opportunity to imply that mainstream Mormonism somehow was responsible for having turned out two demented murderers. And that's just one example.

i am not lds but i didnt feel the book was anti-lds.my read on it was that he was against religious fanatasism in general and i didnt feel he put the mainstream lds into that group at all.i also felt that he personally had very little personal religious faith himself and that fact conveyed throughout the book.he was pretty tough on the flds,kind of live and let live on some of the other polygamy groups and i didnt feel he blamed the lds church for the acts of the laffertys.i thought it was a pretty good book and i think i would feel that way even if i were lds.just my opinion

A duly appointed investigative committee couldn't find evidence of it. That's got to say something.

The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints made the startling announcement Monday that it will no longer allow underage girls to marry adults within their sect.

Whoop , there it is!

Whoop, there it is! LOL


I thought it was not going on there. All the escapees did not know what they were talking about.


You can officially take your head out of the sand now.:cool:

Is that my opinion? Or else why did you post it? :confused:

Also, how do you know my head is in the sand when I haven't given my opinion of their guilt or innocence, and instead, throughout this entire thread, have simply expressed my hatred of big government, explaining why I thought that the government, even when trying to be helpful, usually just causes more harm than good?

Are you privy to my subconscious thoughts that even I'm not privy to?




Maybe my answer confused you. I said "No" as in "No, I'm not going to answer it", not "No" as in "No, they're not guilty." which of course makes sense since you asked "are you going to answer my question".

Of course, the title of this thread had absolutely nothing to do with it....

I'm not a lawyer. And yet, it comforts me to know that the lawyers, no matter how much they wanted it, couldn't find enough evidence.

Of course, Its all the ones the escape that are liers. Not the poineer dress , bun in hair, plank stare into space, wemon who are " TOLD" what to say to people.

Sorry Bro. there is too much evidence over YEARS of escapes that tell what really goes on in these places. I am not talking about some " anti mormon " website, but the people that were actually in these FLDS compounds.
Um... Interesting... I wonder why none of the professionals could find any.

It appears evident to me that "Bob Fletcher", (if that's his REAL name), could possibly one of those "underground" men hiding from authorities. His passion depicted in his comment only furthers the possibility.
(I think his last name is actually "Jessop").

For all those who feel the raid was illegal, please read Texas law. Sorry, you can't marry a 12 year old here in Texas. The thought of it makes me sick.
If the FLDS would like to continue their illegal activities, please move to another Country.

For those of you commenting on "Marxist" behavior, it's people like you that listen to the screams of the neighbors children, see the bruises of the abused wife and do "NOTHING". (Which by the way, is also illegal).

It's our responsibility as citizens to protect children, regardless of religious affiliation, regardless of whether or not they complain, and regardless of how you "FEEL" about the Child Protective Services.

It's not about "feelings"...it's about responsibility.

To the remaining FLDS "cult members"...GO BACK TO UTAH!
