So much for the "simpleminded, brainwashed" women theory. I'll wager that the site will do well.
I'm placing an order for each of my little ones.
now that's funny. As many of these freeloading FLDS living off the welfare in Arizona and Utah - and you say "at least they're willing to work and not ask for handouts"? What planet have you been living on?
Before you say that they aren't collecting in Texas, rest assured that the welfare checks received in Utah and Arizona are headed straight to YFZ. The only ones working from YFZ are the families that have left and gotten real jobs near where their kids were.
And if you make your children wear these clothes, you are no better than FLDS at denying the rights your children were born with. You want to turn your kids into little mini-clones of FLDS, you go right ahead. If they're older than 8 yrs old, they will hate you for it (as well they should.)
This is not the 1800's and it's stupid for people to act like it is. You want to live the confined life of FLDS, where women have no rights and children are indoctrinated from birth? Then I suggest Afganistan - you would love it there.
Or you can join the 21st century.
No man will ever tell me how to dress. Good grief!--this is nauseatingly.
Modesty is fine, but to walk around looking like a tent every day of ones life is way off base.
I notice the FLDS are posting--doesn't take them too long to get ticked off- Oh well.
no one in their right mind would wear those clothes on a hot summer day - so that just goes to show just how brainwashed these women are....
So pls don't say "no one is forcing you to dress the way I do" because all the FLDS women are being forced to wear what they wear... They're just so far gone they don't realize it. It's not modesty - it's called control by the owners (the men).
It probably would depend on if the person would rather a sweltering sun burn by wearing practicly nothing or not.
Since you have never been apart of the FLDS you have no proof whatsoever they are forced to wear those dresses.
If the FlDS choose to dress modest, bless their hearts! You couldn't convince them not too, and rest assured, they aren't going to try convince you to dress the way they do either! This is America. Get use to it.
Very nice.
Uniform, I do not agree
We have to many people minding other peoples business
Butt out!
I find some of these dresses very attractive
I am also a dress designer in my time
Then on the other hand
I mind my own business
The wearing of these clothes (including the long-johns - to prevent sunburn?lol) have absolutely nothing to do with religion. They have to do with control. People dressing alike and living alike are MUCH easier to control than those that don't.
I am neither intolorant nor bigoted. I am for freedom, which the FLDS is severly lacking. Most of America understands that the only way these women and children would live that way is through significant continual control. Do you understand that?
