If anyone starts to read this it sounds like complete craziness. Where have all
you people been living? This is the real WORLD 2008. Most people are not Mormon
and we do not understand all this mumbo-jumbo. It all sounds like a big CULT to
me--but we're all so quick to point out that we LDS are "nothing at
all" like the FLDS. Whew! It all sounds freaky and scary to me!

You are a fourteen-year-old girl. You have been brought up in a strict, radical
fundamentalist cult. The only lifestyle you know is the one in which women are
completely subordinate to men, and you are damned if you do not A) sumbit 100%
to your husband and B) follow the rules and mores of the church/society. You
just had your first period, so it is time for you to get married. You
don't want to get married to the man for whom you have been selected, but
you know it's expected and you know there will be DIRE consequences if you
resist. Your mother takes you down to the courthouse. The clerk gets your
mother's consent, since you are a minor, for you to marry. Then the clerk
asks you if you want to get married. WHAT DO YOU SAY?

I have read the articles and have no need to comment on the specifics. However,
I have no sympathy for these vile, gluttonous men. May the great State of Texas
exact their justice and help others to calm and reassure these women and
children. Then at sometime in the future may the Lord put an end to this
abomination through His eternal love, understanding and mercy and take away all
the pain and fear. There are some things I have a hard time dealing with and
this is at the top of the list. The humanity of our nation, our wives, children,
mothers and grandmothers treated this way. On this I struggle.

If the LDS never existed then we can assume the FLDS would not as well. One was
born from the other.

I feel SO much better now, knowing that Utah, where the practice of polygamy is
said to be common knowledge, has sent TWO polygamy leaders to prison.

Have you lost your mind? These mothers sacrifice their children for their
'church' and were sacrificed as teenagers! They all need help!

This is institutional sex slavery and abuse. There is no justification under
heaven and earth.
bubba | 7:58 a.m. April 11, 2008
The Forced sex in the temple story sounds just like the rumours and stories that
were told and still are told about the "genuine" LDS temples. Those
rumours were completely false. And I see little evidence to prove that these
stories are true.
I just hope there is more evidence than is being revealed.
It should take a lot more than rumours and conjecture to take away 400 children from there parents.
To tell you the truth, I personally wouldn't mind seeing this perverse religion be completely disbanded but there are many who think the same way about my religion. Our personal beleifs should not be the law of the land. Abuses should be handled on a case by case basis using real eveidence and testimony. And I haven't seen any of that YET.
I just worry about the precedents being set that allow the government to raid homes and remove children without solid evidence.

the tv show Big Love?
Meghan | 8:26 a.m. April 11, 2008
I went to an LDS church for a year and immersed myself in their beliefs, their
practices, events, ect. The beliefs that the FLDS church in this event do not
coincide with the practices of the LDS. They are a segment, a break off of the
original theology, twisting and changing the information in the bible so that it
is completely wrong, both morally and ethically. The LDS do not in any way
support what the FLDS has done. They believe in the sanctity of marriage between
man and woman, not man and child, where the man has only that woman before
God.
They believe in protecting the children; children are important to their faith and to their closeness with God. There is no way any REAL LDS member would ever have condoned what these perverts were doing to those poor children.
All those "men" who had "relationships" and actually believed the lie they were told should be harshly dealt with, unless they were mentally ill. This crossed the line where any human being should have gone, "This is not right no matter what they've been telling me" and should have realized that their actions were not condoned by God.

Lawyer Bob In Texas | 8:38 a.m. April 11, 2008
The leader of FLDS is in state prison for assisting in the statutory rape of
girls under the age of consent for sex. He thinks God told him to marry them to
their cousins. Warren Jeffs is considered their Prophet, their mouthpiece of
God, and, again, is in prison for violating state law. The Constitution
protects the Freedom of Religion, so long as it doesn't violate established
laws. FLDS consider themselves Christians but openly believe once a woman can
bear a child, it is her calling to start producing children to enter their
heaven. A young woman/girl can have children at a very young age and if men,
over the age of 17 in Texas are having sex with girls under the age of 17 in
Texas, it's a violation of state law. Because this occurs, allegedly, in
their Temple, there is no Constitutional protection to violate laws. If you
live in a compound on US soil, the walls do not stop the application of laws
designed to protect children. The press releases do not give the full details
and five days of searching with the Feds will lead to much information not make
known immediately.
Cytron | 9:27 a.m. April 11, 2008
Although I dont agree with what the FLDS are doing. I still feel that this is a
conspiracy of sorts. Who was the girl that called in, was it really from the
compound, was she a plant or informant which allowed the warrant to be
exercised?
No one is looking at the bigger picture - if this was a muslim mosque and they raided it like this, the muslim community would up in arms and screaming desicration. If you have ever been to a mosque there are beds in the back as well.
This was their house of whorship, I hope the State & Federal governements didnt take it lighty that they invaded it. Again I disagree with what they are doing but it seems to me religious freedom is no longer a freedom if you are FLDS, only muslim, catholic, baptist, mormon etc.
I dont recall them raiding any catholic cathedrals after several priest were accused of being pedofiles 3 years ago. It is now know that several priest raped and sexually assualted 100s of kids over the years. Were is the equality?

My question is would they have done this to a Muslim Mosque or a Catholic
Cathedral - History has proved the didnt and many of the same things have gone
on! Where is the equality.
I dont condone this but it something is not quite right here.

Lawyer Bob.
With your training, do you believe that this fishing trip based on an open ended warrant is fully within "established laws"?
Can a warrant properly issue based solely on the telephoned words of an unidentifiable individual who claims to be a "witness or possible victim"?
Do you believe that a crime; "allegedly, in their Temple" is grounds for taking 400+ children and mothers who may or may not be somehow remotely connected to a possibly flimsily structured "alleged" "violation of state law"; can be established without accrual to the law which governs exactly how warrants must be issued?
Would you accept the opportunity to defend this raid against possibly innocent parties and premises?

The Bed could be off of an administrative office for someone working late hours,
or just wanting to take a nap.
I am a Doctor, and we have beds for employees who work late nights...lets not jump to conclusions here.
There are civil rights being violated on both sides at this point - Texas is in hot water for ceising an entire town's children. They could do it for a home, but not an entire town without cause.

They have investigated wherever they have had reports of abuse. The abuse has
been rampant in this society. This was definately justified. We will not stand
for abuse of children and forced marriages!

I can't understand why people think we have ANYTHING in common with these
guys. I went to school with Warren Jeffs at Jordan High School back in the
70's. All the Jeffs kids looked like throw backs then when mini skirts were
in style...with their hair nets and buns.
Are there beds in the LDS Temples? I know of two......one in the Nurses lounge in the Oakland temple......for if someone gets ill. It's in plan view of everyone.........and in the nursery there are a few cribs and like a day bed.
I doubt they can get this under control......to many people practice it.
I understand the mothers wanting to protect their kids.......but they should of thought about that before they sent their daughter's with dirty old men.........

Carly | 12:07 p.m. April 11, 2008
I find it extremely strange when LDS people claim that they are not related in
any way to FLDS...Brigham Young and Joseph Smith created crazy ideas and
convinced people to believe them (polygamy, blood atonement e.g.) and then when
these are no longer acceptable by society the LDS church denounces them. If you
are not going to believe half of what Joseph Smith said, how can you say that
the other half of what he said is true and divine??? It makes no sense.

("I know that Polygamy still exists in Utah but not among practicing
Mormons."
You have never been more wrong my friend!
There are plenty of practicing mormons in polygamist replationships. Visit Utah County sometime.)
Just where in UT Co. are all these 'practicing mormons in poly relationships'? How would I recognize them? I have lived in this county for over 20 years in different areas and have never heard of or seen anything like this. What is ridiculous is that you could make statements like that on here and somebody will believe it. a bunch of hogwash. There were some known polygs out in Cedar Valley but they sure wouldn't have wanted to be called mormons.

Madelin | 1:58 p.m. April 11, 2008
The FLDS church claims Brigham Young was a FALSE prophet. So they don't
follow the same prophets as main stream LDS. So they don't believe the same
as we do. The religions are 2 separate religions in every way.
Reply to Madelin | 2:20 p.m. April 11, 2008
Madelin (1:58pm) I think you're mistaken. The FLDS broke away when the LDS
church conceded polygamy to the government around 1890. Until then there was no
reason to add an "F" to "LDS".
Madelin | 2:48 p.m. April 11, 2008
Hey, I know some FLDS and these folks said that they believe that BRIGHAM YOUNG
WAS A FALSE PROPHET. So I don't where, or what polygamists group you know?
You as well will never see a picture of BY in their homes....hummmmm?

Joseph Smith had 33 wives and he coerced Emma into accepting the situation by telling her that it was ordered by an angel with a flaming sword.
You don't need to believe me. You can read D&C section 132 and then do a genealogical search on Joseph Smith and his wives in the church's records.

Seriously bad PR for the church. Also, the editorial from the St. George
Spectrum is disturbing. What planet are they from? Almost makes you think that
there are polygamists working there, or else, why are they so sympathetic?
Also, it's fine however wives a man has if he can support them but how can one support x number of wives and xx children? Oh, I know how! The very government that they rail against is the one who is providing welfare for the wives and children.
The men who engage in this twist scripture to their advantage to live this lifestyle.

Ediddy - plural marriage is not the only issue here, I hope you realize that!
We are talking about statutory rape, incest, along with false imprisonment - are
you still willing to defend them now? These women and children are not allowed
to leave their compound - and beaten if they do. That's abuse.
Totally disgusted | 11:17 p.m. April 11, 2008
The ONLY reason an older man would marry an underaged girl is SEX. Having
multiple wives does not require a person to marry a child of 14 or 15. These
are sick, sick, people who prey on children in the name of religion. Let's
call them what they are, FLDS pedophiles.

Heck yes it's worth reporting...just look at these headlines the past week! All designed to throw y'all into a feeding frenzy of righteous anger; whichever side you choose to be angry about, the paper still wins.
Were beds in temple used for teen sex? the headline asks us, as if we might know and are sharing in the moral outrage with the author, who also has no idea at this point. He doesn't need to know either, and he knows it. He's dangles a hook and watches the response. They play passive-aggressive with the subject, alternately incensed, then sad for the pleading mothers, then dangling something like 'temple sex beds'. As you can see, they really don't care one way or the other, so long as the herd is raising dust and the hits are way up and selling ads. Ka-ching! That's what it's all about folks. Thanks for playing!

it kind of makes me laugh at peoples' remarks. THIS IS NOT ABOUT RELIGION!
If it were about religion, then the feds would have cracked down on the FLDS
church a long time ago. It's only about adults having sex with minors, and
abuse. That's it. The ranch had been there for a while. Texas officials had
done nothing about them being there until a phone call from a 16 year old girl
with a baby, and one on the way, said she was being abused. I think that calls
for drastic measures. I applaud Texas officials for stepping in. Maybe these
children will get the chance to live normal lives and not be used as baby
breeding machines.

To: Be Like Me: You have missed the point.
It is called statuatory rape if one of those
sex partners is an ADULT and one is underage...
It is a crime as opposed to just being 'morally corrupt'.
The FLDS temple building was declared a crime scene because of the nature of the complaint...as would be
a Mosque, a Jewish Temple, oe a Baptist Church.
There are no law enforcement impropriaties here
if one understands the whole picture.

Now, if the girl is calling on the phone for extended periods of time,
don't you think they would have a few facts they could have checked out
first? Perhaps they could have checked out if the alleged abuser was even in
the state, let alone the ranch. Perhaps they could have driven by and seen
whether there were actually guards posted at the gates. Perhaps they could have
triangulated the position of the cell phone. If they had tried to verify even
one fact before acting, this raid probably would have never happened.

To the people who don't believe there are polygamists in Utah county, yes,
there are. Not all polygamists where clothing and hairstyles that stand out.
In fact, I wasn't even aware that a close friend was the daughter of a
polygamist for several years--she dressed just like me, and even went to Church
with me. However, most of her family has now moved to Juab county.

You people who condone the polygamy practice need to have a mental evaluation
done. There is nothing righteous for MEN to have sex slaves in America. You who
think this are the worst immoral people on our planet, and will probably go to
hell for your perversions. It's time the government cleaned up all these
polygamy cults. Child rape is not normal. And to hide it behind a religion, WELL
FOLKS, there is nothing religious about this practice, it's only sexual
gratification for a few perverts!

force to know how to deal with this problem. everything they are doing is based
on ow utah has dealed with it in the past, just because there haven't been
any raids in utah of this size, don't think that we don't fight this
more than anyone.
