no offense just wondering…. how they respond on youtube i thought they didn’t have access to computers and television are the ones responding former members who left the fdls?

these people missed the point all together. I understand not all have been abused and I understand there is freedom of religion, but when you have 31 teenagers under the age of 18 pregnant……..

I live near the BC FLDS community. They’re in hiding now, sending only the oldest and ugliest out to shop. But when I still saw the little girls, my heart was torn by the expression on their faces. These girls never have a chance, they don’t receive a standard education. And the boys are just discarded, also without education.
Forced polygamy is right there with bloodletting, slavery, FGM, and other trappings of our barbaric past. We are all equal, no one is a ‘religious authority’

There’s not a single case of pedophilia amongst them. Go learn what the word “pedophilia” actually means.
November 8th, 2005 at 1:59 am
these people are sick and disgusting!
those poor kids should be removed and any adult that is not pregnant should be sent to prison; thier uniform should say what they did in bold black letters. God protect those children.

its pedophilia they belong in jail where the rest of the dirty old criminals are its a very serious crime.

For all of you watching “DAN” he is a fucking liar. He molested 3 of my little sisters. He is a hipocrit and should be in jail

Er, excuse me? I’m not religious, but I don’t go around having abortions, extramarital sex, stealing from people, telling lies etc. etc. etc.
These people are in a cult - there’s a big difference between the established Christian Church and a cult. I prefer to avoid ALL religion altogether because it does not encourage free-thinking and personal responsibility amongst its members.

Are we all brainwashed as well by the media and the classroom-Only The Church gives us the truth. The good thing about this group is that they do try to live a religious life - No sexual relations unless to make a baby-No Abortions-Loving and helping each other. They may be misguided as to where to find true salvation The Catholic Church-however, many others are misguided as well-Thanks SNOWFLAKE for your posts-You get right to the point

that’s why i said, danger of kids = involvement of authorities.
November 17th, 2005 at 7:52 am
um…
did you even read my reply?
i agree with you, asshole.

To CDSchweiger: What are people missing? Who is supposed to get involved? The Easter Bunny? Santa Clause? Who is supposed to stand up for the kids? It certainly won’t be the parents, especially the mothers as they’re too busy trying to be “Alpha Wife” to her husband who has 8+ wives. They obviously didn’t care when their teenage sons were thrown to the curb, they think it’s okay to hear their daughters screaming out in pain as they’re being raped by an old goat next door.

Amen to that! I just finished reading “Escape” by Carolyn Jessop. That man deserves to burn in hell. I am sad that Carolyn’s oldest daugher Betty returned to the FLDS. I can’t imagine the abuse she must be suffering from right now.
You can tell the women are too scared to talk about what is REALLY going on.

To atomicsnowflake; thanks for updating us on Faunita. What a bunch of “God-loving” people; once a woman is no use to them (basically can’t bear children anymore), she is thrown to the curb. I even read that the older women are told to go up high on mountains/hills and wait to be “taken up” to the sky, sort of like “Scotty, beam me up.” It’s pretty pathetic and sad that these poor brain-washed older women actually believe it. The “husbands” are too busy pronging 13-14 year-olds to care.
November 25th, 2005 at 11:10 pm
They’re ALL brainwashed.
ALL religion is evil!!!!
Merrill Jessop’s first wife Faunita has been cast out. In declining health and with nobody to care for her she faces the agony of abandonment and a lonely death even though she gave him children and he has a responsibility to care for her.
He is a predatory paedophile. May he rot in hell!
November 29th, 2005 at 6:26 am
agreed.
danger of kids = involvement of authorities. point blank.
i think that’s what people are missing.
November 30th, 2005 at 3:59 pm
Partially true,But when other’s suspect Child abuse,they WILL make it Their Business! AMEN!
December 3rd, 2005 at 12:40 am
Let em live in your neighborhood then,asshole!
December 4th, 2005 at 11:56 pm
They’re good people and I dont support more then one wife at all but they are nice people for I have seen and talked to many of them. Anyone not like us is called a cult so who cares for talk is cheap. The state of Texas had not right removing there children from there mothers……..Shameless!!!

i have never seen someone so happy about mail. lol
December 10th, 2005 at 7:20 pm
I’m no defender of their faith, it’s bazaar. However, unless they can come up with an abuse case they don’t have any justification for taking those children away from their mothers. NONE!
Look, if there is truly a case of child abuse then they shouldn’t have any problem bringing the evidence before the court. Right? Out of over 400 children they couldn’t produce a single abused child! And even if there was an abused child you can’t kidnap the ENTIRE COMMUNITY! Arrest the abuser hello!

I don’t know, Mike, but I grew up in a family that wasn’t into reassigning my brothers, sisters, and mother to a different man. I guess I must be the one that’s nuts. Yeah, human traficking just wasn’t our bag; that and the fact that we think that having sex with children is called being a pedophile. The FlDS calls such a person a “prophet”. Guess that’s where we differ.
