But "he" didn't do the "raping". He arranged the marriage. Still not something that have shown HE actually perpetrated as you are accusing.

He was proven in court to be guilty of being an accomplice to rape. He is in jail now for it. What else do you need?

But that doesn't implicate the entire sect as rapists. I need proof that the entire sect is run by rapists as you claim. And so far, not panning out. The entire sect doesn't even appear to be polygamous.

The sect is run by Jeffs and those directly under him. The whole male population doesn't have to be rapists for there to be issues with child abuse. Here is the court TV article and related information on Jeffs and the trial, charges, allegations and input from other FLDS members, if you're interested.

Polygamous sect leader Warren Jeffs convicted of rape as accomplice for role in teen's marriage on CourtTVnews.com

I honestly can't understand how you would need proof that the entire sect were rapists, that is utterly ridiculous. The leader is a proven accomplice to rape, we have no idea how many times either.

That implicates the entire sect about as much as a mayor that implicates commits a crime implicates a town.

Our legal system doesn't work like that. Thank goodness. He wasn't the first leader and he won't be the last.

He is still running things from jail, and when he isn't, there is his 2nd in command running things. It does implicate the entire sect when the leader is forcing 14 year old girls to marry, and they are allowing it. Duh.

Not really. It's established that "some" of the member reject polygamy. "Some" of the older teens have not become married or pregnant. Your absolutes didn't pan out. That's why they are back at home. Sorry your accusations are empty.

eta...duh

No they aren't. And some of those members that reject polygamy today, will have two wives tomorrow. Because they believe that without being polygamous, they don't go to heaven. And Jeffs being in jail isn't an accusation, it is a fact.

Or they may strike out on their own with their own sect like Christianity and Judaism. You can't convict a group of people for what they "might" do when there is evidence that they aren't currently doing what you are accusing them of.

WOW, I'm glad you aren't a judge. I think we are seeing what happened with this Walther chick.

I highly doubt that. They are brainwashed, and I think you know the definition of brainwashed.
