Comments about ‘No easy solutions in polygamous church land fight’

if all those other bloggers would shift over here and ask what part of illegal don't they understand then I would have a better understanding of righteousness!

send them all to texas pronto

Since when is it illegal for people to WILLINGLY participate in a legally established trust like this?

If it's not illegal... Why is Mark Shurtleff getting involved and taking control of their assets and selling them AGAINST the will of the people participating in the trust?

Isn't Mark Shurtleff doing the EXACT SAME THING he claimed to be protecting the people from???? Ignoring THEIR will and doing what HE/Jeffs feels is right?

Is Shurtleff any different than Jeff's in this case?

Taking control of the assets AGAINST the will of the people involved in the trust... Selling assets that the people involved in the trust want to keep?

Out of ALL the property in the trust... and the only parcel of land they can think of to liquidate... is the site for their TEMPLE??? The most sacred land contained in the trust... and it's the first thing that's got to go??? Even though the people involved in the trust REALLY REALLY want to keep it at all cost? But the outsider administrator just shows them the hand and decides to sell this parcel of land against their wishes???

And THIS is legal?

The FLDS leader's actions are what caused all of this. They are the ones who acted illegally by using the trust to coerce, control and manipulate people.

And the apostates who have left worked just as hard and contributed just as much to build up the trust as the current faithful followers.

And I use the term "current" loosely because if they blink wrong or wear a blue dress when the color of the day is a purple dress, then they can be kicked out of the group and lose their home and family forever.

People's homes, families and livelihoods should not be dangled like a carrot in their faces.

And, that bit about a temple site is hogwash. If they were going to build a temple there, it would have been built on that land and not built a thousand miles away in Texas.

If they want to keep that parcel of land, they can bid on it according to the judge. That is legal.

What has been done to the ones who left is what is NOT legal.

Shurtleff and pro-polygamy czar Paul Murphy are just disappointed that their carefully planned pity party campaign to explain why Shurtleff continues to dump huge amounts of tax dollars into social welfare and programs designed to teach polygs how to cheat the government is backfiring on him. Bruce Wisan wasn't supposed to stand up to Shurtleff. Judge Lindberg wasn't supposed to be independent of Paul Murphy's puppet strings. Oops. Guess I'll be voting for Bennett.
