Comments about ‘Eldorado search warrants detail seizure of multiple items’

Almost sounds like Jim Jones and Jonestown, all over again. Frightening.

This whole thing is getting more disturbing by the day. Good going, Texas. Now round em all up, boot em out, and burn that place to the ground.

Go, Longhorns!

Hummmmm? Maybe now they can prove some dates and ages on those girls and children. I hear they also found cyanide in the compound. Does anyone know anything about this?

Why don't you look into who was really behind the Jim Jones thing, this sounds nothing like it. Look and study before you blog. But I agree it is frightening, that all this was done (I do agree with protecting the children) but with such a loosley worded search warrent and the liberty's that were taken by the police. The warrent should of been more detailed, if they had been planing this for such a long time. It is frightening that we do not see what this as it truley is.

Hey Barry at 12:15. Why don't you enlighten us, then if you are so smart. I thought pedophelia was illegal in all 50 states.

I would like to applaud the young girl who called the shelter and reported the disgusting practices of the FLDS church. She is my new hero!

Dude,

It is.

But, Do you want the police to bust into your house, church or vehicle just because some voice on a telephone accuses you of being a pedophile?

Pedophilia is evil and should be prosecuted in equal manner as any other expression of aberation in sexual identity or uncontrolled desires. Other similar sexually deviant actions include beastiality, homosexuality, exhibitionism, pornography, rape, etc.

A readly willingness to prosecute those who act in any of these evil ways, without firm evidence of such action, is a willingness to abandon the rule of law. Jack Boots in Nazi Germany were good at this form of enforcement. So are Jihadists today.

Though heinous the action, even more to be feared is the unbridled power of any Government to live beyond the laws which created that very Government.

What the Texas authorities have done may be a lawless as is the action of the FLDS regarding human rights.

Lets never abandon the rule of law for political expediency; nor to exercise and enforce our personal agenda, religious bias or habits.

Wow ! thats cool they found prison letters written by Warren Jeffs. He's about the ugliest polygamist cult guy I have ever laid eyes on. GEEZ! Although none of these men are very good looking. To say the truth, they are all quite homely and look quite scary!
How do did these men get away with this stuff for so long and for so many decades? It looks to me like we will be learning a lot more about these sex crazed people in the next few months.

It is quite amazing that so many people are ready to jump on the "down with the FLDS" bandwagon when what we have heard has been ONLY what the media and ex-members have protrayed. There were two articles where FLDS members were quoted and portrayed as anxious and concerned parents and those articles were immediately lamblasted by many posters as siding with the FLDS. And yet every article that quoted "ALLEGED" abuse and sex, etc. were hailed by posters as the gospel truth. Kind of shows the perverted minds of the people.

I hate to sound pedantic, but the correct spelling is "Book of MormonS" for the plural of the book, not "BookS of Mormon."

The plural of a generic noun that is expressed as a compound of words, such as "mother-in-law," may be written as "mothers-in-law" or "mother-in-laws." (Either way is acceptable). However, the plural of a title of a specific work, such as "Book of Mormon," even though it appears to be a compound word, is just "Book of Mormons," as in "There were several Book of Mormons found at the El Dorado site."

A title of a specific work is not a generic noun, but a proper noun. You wouldn't say "There were several "Wars and Peace" found at the El Dorado site."

Turns out the authorities have been sitting on this for 4 years now. Gee..and now they decide to act with Mitt Romney is in line for the VP slot. Seems to be more than a coincidence....

to grammar police... it is bookS of Mormon. it is more than one book not more than one Mormon.

I personilly thinks tha we aut to hav mor of ya.. get the speling polace two!

You are all wise to cast judgment now, rather than waiting for all the facts.

You say, "we will be learning a lot more ... in the next few months."

It appears that most of what was taken will be disallowed as evidence in court, as the method of obtaining the documents was outside the rule of law.

Huge, and probably illegal liberties are being taken by the authorities in disclosing to the public what you have already heard.

Once the lawsuits get into motion, I expect that most of what you hope to learn about the private affairs of this group will become sealed, and I expect that you won't be able to satisfy your lust for learning about the private lives of private people as easily as you think.

If I am wrong, and you are allowed to learn about things that should be protected under the constitution, then I'll have to wonder whether we still live in a free land, governed by law.

The correct wording would be "copies of the Book of Mormon" Coming from pioneer heritage and polygamist background, my ancestor traveled 8 mos pregnant on the train to testify in front of Congress. But the breeding of little girls just to bear children at a early age is unthinkable!

You can't honestly compare CPS and Texas police to Nazi's? Last time I checked, this wasn't about religion. It's about CHILDREN begin abused. Also, I could be wrong but I don't think CPS is killing these people yet. I would also not classify Fort Concho in the same category as a death camp or labor camp.

Yearning For Zion, L.L.C. owns the ranch (Limited Liability Corporation). Shield of protection for their illegal activities. Why doesn't the prophet own it? Oh wait, he's a CRIMINAL. They KNOW that what they are doing is illegal.

They reported the FLDS playing a "shell" game with the children. How do you expect them to just search one house on the ranch? How do you expect them to know WHICH house to search? It's not like they have addresses. Why don't they have addresses? BECAUSE IT'S ONE PROPERTY.

Disgusting.

Grammar Police,

Although you may be somewhat close to technically correct, your pedantic argument makes no sense, particularly in this instance.

Using your assertion, would it be OK to say, "There were several War and Peaces"?

Are there really more books or wars? Or, are there more Peaces or Mormons?

In this, and similar cases, maybe it would be easier to simply say, "There were several copies of The Book of Mormon (or War and Peace)" rather than quibble about generic nouns as expressed in compound words which doesn't really satisfy the discussion or clarify the spelling accuracy.

The Jehovah's Witnesses have settled lawsuits alleging church policies protected pedophile men who sexually abused children for many years.

Good golly! I guess I would be suspicious to these guys too. I shread documents every day.
