Shurtleff deposition set in child-bride suit
7 comments | Read story
We pay taxes. Some of that money goes to polygamist women and their children as welfare and food assistance. The FLDS takes 10% of these handouts and has built a fund worth millions. We also help fund shelters to assist the lost boys. The FLDS is sort of a passive-aggressive entity. By not supporting its women and children, it can drain us of our money, skim off the top and build up a fortune. Then, Shurtleff takes control of the fortune due to mismanagement. He transfers some of the assets that rightly belong to members and not the church. Still, a lot of money remains ripe for the picking by those who have been abused. Many of the abused are also maximizing their financial opportunities by writing books on their bizarre experiences. In all fairness, book writing is being done more for cathartic reasons and to alert the public to a problem. It is probably impossible for the public to retrieve its misappropriated welfare money, so giving it to victims is probably the best possible outcome and maybe even fair since we didn't put an end to abuse.
You have got to be kidding.
Im just an idoit, yet i don't believe that warren jeffs forced elissa into anything and shes just jelous that they don't want her immoral influence around them any longer.
Ask your self�s who is changing there story and who has stood by their word, even when no one believed them.
