| Congressional Representative Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: New Jersey Gender:  Posts: 2,434 Country:  Points: 18,360, Level: 86 | Level up: 2%, 490 Points needed | | I really don't know how you can say that because the FLDS is run by Warren Jeffs and there have been convictions regarding what his communities do with their 14 year old daughters. Colorado City Arizona and this Texas community are the followers of Warren Jeffs, who might have as many as 180 wives, all of whom are among the youngest "ready" to be wives. In his sect of the religion, it is like living in Iran for these women. I am not saying that all polygamists are abusing their kids, not by a long shot. I have seen examples of polygamous families who are not members of a cult who abuse their wives and children. They have every right to live their lives according to their beliefs, and I support them. However, the FLDS is another story. That is a cult if there ever was one, and the women there don't even have access to freedom of choice in reading materials, newspapers, tv, etc. I don't know how you can think otherwise, when there has been evidence showing what really is taking place in the FLDS. |
