Law firm booted from FLDS Church's trust case

She is forgetting that the only reason Parker is "former" counsel is because she chose to inject hereself into the Trust's affairs, as well may have been proper, and thereby stop him from serving as counsel.
To now disqualify Parker for challenging the proposed actions of Wisan, who is acting as a court officer loyal to Judge Lindberg not the trust, is inconceivable.
Shields is not the Trust's attorney, he is always referred to as Wisan's attorney.
So who is independent legal counsel for the Trust itself? Wisan as temporary overseer of the Trust has inherent conflicts with the Trust itself and therefore he cannot share his own counsel (Shields)with the Trust.
The Trust is entitled to its own truly independent counsel to protect its interests from Wisan.
Which means the Trust is actually without independent legal counsel. Judge Lindberg has not seen fit to let the Trust itself be represented. That makes it much easier for her appointed officer to do what he wishes, even to the detriment of the Trust. Inconceivable.
DEBATER WROTE: FLDS MOSTLY LIKELY WILL LOOSE IN UTAH & FEDERAL COURTS BECAUSE THEY ARE AGAIN FAILING TO USE ULTRA-SECULAR MATERIALS/ARGUMENTS IN THE ULTRA-SECULAR FEDERAL COURTS.
TEXAS CPS LOST CASE FOR BRINGING "RELIGIOUS PHRASES/JARGON TO ULTRA SECULAR-COURT.
....JUDGE IS ....giving sect members an opportunity to protest loss of property they consider sacred...
DISTRICT JUDGE ORDERING THE ABSURD FOR AN ULTRA-SECULAR COURT.
DISTRICT JUDGE IS ORDERING SPIRITUAL CLAIMS TO BE BROUGHT TO COURT OR TO BE USED AS A DEFENSE?
IS THE UTAH DISTRICT COURT ERRONEOUSLY ORDERING AN ABSURD THAT THE BENEFICIARIES CAME FORWARD AND EXPRESS "RELIGIOUS PHRASES/JARGON INSIDE ULTRA SECULAR-COURTS.

The deck is stacked a bit more. Ex-flds on the board and the flds can't choose their own lawyer,
This isn't an unbiased legal system it seems to be a concerted effort to remove any chance of a fair hearing.
Looks like the court has learned a few lessons from Texas......first a trial then hang em.
Now we find out that the disputed property is a site for a church........where is justice?
Removing Rod Parker from this suit is an interesting maneuver. Essentially, he is representing the same people he used to represent, but the law only recognizes the trust as the item being represented and in this case, he is on the opposite side. It is easy to see why this ruling is being appealed as well as the order to hand over documents. The court could recognize that he represented both the trust and the people who managed the trust and thus he should be barred from representing the same people in opposition to the trust and he should not release documents either.
Now Wisan thinks he should sell a 9 million dollar piece of property for 3 million so "he" can get paid??? WOW!!! He already sold the Beryl Farm so "he" could buy it at 30 cents on the dollar!!! Talk about a conflict of interest!!!
This is a dishonest judge helping a dishonest fudiciary and because she makes a ruling in the court does not make it any less dishonest!!!
WAKE UP AMERICA!!! IF A JUDGE CAN DO THIS TO THIS TRUST, ARE YOUR TRUSTS ANY SAFER???? THINK ABOUT IT.
Now Wison wants to sell a 9 million dollar piece of property for 3 mill so "he" can get paid???!!!
And that is after he has already sold the Beryl Farm for 30 cents on the dollar so "he" could buy it!!!!?
Just because a dishonest judge makes a dishonest ruling so a dishonest fudiciary can bleed a trust dry, does not make it any less dishonest, America.
THINK ABOUT IT! IF A JUDGE CAN DO THIS IN THE COURTS AND GET AWAY WITH IT HERE, ARE YOUR TRUSTS, PEOPLE OF AMERICA, SAFE????!!!!
PUNISHMENT FROM ABOVE | 11:38 a.m. Oct. 9, 2008
PUNISHMENT FROM HIGHER-UPS
Underlying issues:
PRIMARY SWITCH: It is reported by the media that Rodney Parker switched religion from (a) Mormonism to (b) Catholicism a while ago.
SECONDARY SWITCH: Rodney Parker switched HANDS from: (a) secular-polygamy slant to (b) quasi-secular polygamy slant/arguments.
TERTIARY SWITCH: Rodney Parker switched from: (a) ultra-secular court arguments to (b) quasi-secular court arguments with religious phrases/jargon .
THAT BROUGHT PUNISHMENT FROM HIGHER-UPS.
CLAIMS AND DISCLAIMERS AS PREVIOUSLY POSTED.

The people of this country can not afford to let this action go unchallenged. The citizens of Short Creek have been open and above board in their dealings with the State. Whatever may be our feelings regarding Mormon plural marriage, this portion of their religion is now dwarfed in the awful conspiracy perpetrated against them. The greater and more far-reaching principles involved should receive the focus of our attention and thoughts.
These people CHOOSE to live the United Order and have all things in common and to share everything. But the government in it's wisdom has to step in and take control of things (because us mear mortals obviously can't make our own decisions).
Do the FLDS now have NO SAY in how the trust is run??? Why are a bunch of attorneys and beurocrats deciding how the trust is used?
Why would the attorneys who have taken over the trust insist on selling the part that the people who built the trust wanted to be used as a future Temple site? Don't they even consult with the church on how the trust is used (or abused) from here on out?
$110 million isn't a lot of money for an attorney. If you leave them in charge it won't be long before the trust is EMPTY! The attorney's fees alone could drain this fund over time.
PRIMARY SWITCH: It is reported by the media that Rodney Parker switched religion from (a) Mormonism to (b) Catholicism a while ago.
SECONDARY SWITCH: Rodney Parker switched HANDS from: (a) secular-polygamy slant to (b) quasi-secular polygamy slant/arguments.
TERTIARY SWITCH: Rodney Parker switched from: (a) ultra-secular court arguments to (b) quasi-secular court arguments, with religious phrases/jargon.
FORTH SWITCH: Rhodney Paker switched from (a) Utah Government Controlled FLDS Trust or Bank to (b) Group Controlled FLDS Trust or Bank.
THAT BROUGHT PUNISHMENT FROM HIGHER-UPS.

Good ole Willie....always good for some "spin" despite the lack of facts to support it. His "poor, poor pitiful FLDS me being persecuted for my beliefs" act isn't working; wonder what he'll try next?
And do you not tremble after seeing the result of inaction? If the FLDS had stood up like men (instead of sheep) when all this was going on originally, they wouldn't have this problem. Instead they let ONE MAN tell them not to act and here they are. Perhaps if they would stop being sheep IN EVERY ASPECT OF THEIR LIVES then they would be able to stand on their own two feet.
And why shouldn't they own their own houses? Why should a church own it - with the power to tell you to leave? Stop with the BAHHH BAHHH and be men. The court is trying to help you.
Many americans have lost thier retirement accounts, the 401K's are losing money daily. Wall street dropped below 900 today. Flds need to suck it up, quit feeling sorry for themselves, putting blame everywhere but themselves. They wanted to keep the trust? They should of defended it before it was taken away.
To those flds reading this article. It is time for yall to get the modern day version of hand carts and go to some country that still has religious freedom. There is no religious freedom in this country anymore. Set your homes to the torch and seek a new promised land......there will be no justice in the USA for an unsanctioned religion.
Six years ago, the Utah Attorney General's Office reported that between 65 and 80 percent of the residents of polygamous families in Colorado City, Ariz., and Hildale, Utah, were on food stamps.
In 1998, statistics from the federal government showed that Colorado City and Hildale were on a list of the top 10 towns with a population of more than 2,000 "most reliant" on Medicaid.
Wow CS...I guess the other nine towns in the top ten need to be torn apart as well then.
Why all the whineing about welfare.....for every welfare case in this country the applicants applied and met requirements.
Just for the record.....looks like the present economic mess will result in a good deal more applications ....... so lets whine about that as well!!

So in fact the church is stealing money from the women and children - and from the taxpayers that originally provided it. Pathetic.
Legal and ethical are two different things. And the FLDS leaders are highly unethical to say the least.
The flds use 100% of their money to support their families.......their church......and their ""lifestyle" just as other Americans use the money they have to support their kids , church, and lifestyle.
Why not just rant about not supporting their "lifestyle" with your tax dollars...........it may be a lame argument but that's nothing new.
Start using truthful arguments and maybe we'll start listening to you.
That's the point Re.......noone is listening. Many people just continue the same old gossip based arguments and can't see past their own misinformation filled notions of flds sins.....
Whine about welfare and paying for a "lifestyle" you detest as much as you wish but give up your FHA insured home loans...your college grants.....your corporate welfare.....SSI...go to private non-government funded colleges.
Live without the government assistance you qualify for then maybe you will have an argument.
It has already been proven by CPS that YFZ residents do not get government assistance.
Those persons at "the Creek" qualified for assistance......food stamps.....not a crime.
