Comments about ‘Key witness in FLDS trials spoke out 'for those who have no voice'’

You go, Girl.

Wow. Powerful story. If the LDS Church hadn't of had the 1890 Maniesto, I wonder where Utah would be? Any Historians care to hazard a guess?

Her story sounds like conditions in Salt Lake City in the 1800s. One woman described polygamy as "killing the woman, or everything good inside her. There was a cemetery outside the city walls called "The Place of Broken Hearts" where women who died young from the effects of polygamy were buried. Polygamy is a terrible, terrible thing.

@jimmyjack ,

Your reference to the place called "The Place of Broken Hearts" caught my eye. Where was this place in SLC? I googled the place with no luck.

Also it was relatively easy for Polygamist Wives to divorce their husbands. It wasn't so easy for the Polygamist men to divorce their wives. The journals of women in the "14th Ward" probably one of the wealthiest wards in SLC, and probably had the highest or at least a very high percentage of Polygamist families during Pioneer times, doesn't support your opinion. JimmyJack. Your further thoughts are welcomed and encouraged

It is not polygamy that destroys women any more than religion destroys society; it is the "unrightoues dominion" of those who use the authority they are given to lead and guide as a hammer to oppress. ". . . [T]hey have their reward". This story is a powerful witness of that.
