And I'd like to be able to flap my arms and fly.
I commend Elissa Wall & Carloyn Jessop for telling their stories to expose this cult and try to give those without choices a voice.
It's replulsive what they do to these young children: marrying off girls so young with the expectation to bear multiple children. And casting the boys out on a barren highway ..... without ever giving the a true education or preparing them for the outside world.
For all the times Warren Jeffs held the firey pits of hell over his believers' heads ... I hope he can stand the heat when he gets there.

Is that a word? See the "uneducated" posts in other articles. Exhibit B




From the outside looking in, this situation seems to come down like this:
Jeffs-I've got absolute power. Hey, I want to mess around with some 14 year-olds. Girls, I'm marrying you off. Boys, I'm kicking you out. I'm lawyered up, I'm untouchable. Oh no, those 14 year-olds are coming back at me. I've gotta run.
Lawyers-The FLDS has lotsa hidden money. We can get it. We'll be Jeffs' court bulldogs. Let's think of 20 stupid objections to every legal action.
Government(all levels)-We've got to stop this guy.
Prosecutors-In addition to Arizona charges, there are the federal charges and we've started to look at charges coming out of the Texas investigation.
Lawyers-unlawful search and seizure blah, blah, blah. Bill $300,000 plus additional funds needed to cover charges from Texas raid.
FLDS-(forever failing to identify the true victims)-Our poor prophet. Just like Jesus. Unfairly targeted. They're trying to take away our freedom of religion.
Public-(Brittany Spear's mentality)-Look at those women - the hair-dos, and that long underwear with those homemade dresses. What does that smell like at the end of the day?
