Is The FLDS Raid About Stopping Child Abuse, Or Is Freedom Of Religion Being Abused?

Last night I saw an interview with several of these women on CNN. Larry King repeatedly asked them "who is your husband," "where is your husband," and "do you have any interest in your husband?". Each time, all of these separately refused to answer the question and simply, in sync, repeated the mantra, "our interest is in the children...", etc. That, my friends, sucks!!!! These women are without a doubt brainwashed, given a script (or talking points) and told must believe there are terrible consequences if they deviate from the script.

Does anyone have an eye on their little financial ''Empire''. -- Do they pay taxes, or are they protected by their ''Religious'' status? -- If they have the money to build a city of their own, why do they need welfare money? -- Indeed, how can they get it? -- I smell a con job here, one that may run a heck of a lot deeper that polygamy. -- I really hope that the cops discover ALL the truths out there, even the ones THEY are involved in. -- Where''s the FBI when you need them? -- Some of those kids were transported across state lines, right?

We can take an extreme version like this as simply going to far. Indoctrination of children with religion is borderline criminal in itself (in my opinion) and in this case it just goes too far. It just is not fair to people to be brought up in such a nut-job environment where the women dress like Norman Bates and the men are doing the hokie-pokie with 17 year old girls.

I have a grave concern for all the young men who have been callously ejected from this group from age 13 and up. -- Every one of them has been severely abused, and may spend most of their lives overcoming feelings of worthlessness and abandonment. -- Have they been doing this because, as the boys grew up, they would see what was really happening, and complain about it? -- Were they protecting their right to continue their lies, misogyny, and pedophilia? -- What a cesspool. -- The fact that it''s been tied to a religion makes it even more disgusting. -- Gag!

uh...these women have been trained to believe that all of that is ok...that all of that is the right way to do things...I don''t know what is the best answer for that community but I hope that a resolution is found soon. The children will suffer in the mean time.
