Polygamist sect told its children that the outside world is hos...

religious wacko freaks brainwashing children thought they were supposed to be "christians" instead using the bible as a tool to control the masses we are all going to hell anyway

It is amazing how many crimes people contend that "God approves of". By the way the "outside world is cruel and immoral".

Well, there are gays out there you know.

Imagine if there were a gay polygamist sect. Holy schnikes.

Yet another example of people using Jesus as an excuse to do wrong. What is wrong with Christians??!

The FLDS church is not related to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. These people are not your typical Mormons.

I believe that what is going on behind the scenes with these people needs to be investigated and the law applied.

Freedom of religion is great but that does not give anyone the right to break the law. Child abuse is against the law should be prosecuted to the fullest extent, also.

Muslims believe that they should kill a daughter that goes astray. That is against the law in our country and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent!

We have the right to bare arms but we don't have the right to cart around atom bombs, either.

Freedom of press is a precious right but publishing pornography especially with children is not a right.

I don't approve of it but people have a right to an abortion but they do not have the right to murder a viable baby.

We have the freedom of speech but we cannot walk into a restaurant and blurt out a chain of obscenities or walk into a synagogue and sing "Onward Christan soldiers."

Too many people try to take the rights and freedoms that our ancestors fought so valiantly for and abuse these fundamental privileges we all hold so dear. These very same people that are constantly trying our constitutional rights wouldn't dream of donning a uniform to protect these rights in our military. These people are making life for all of us difficult.

We cannot accept the abuse of our rights and freedom to the deficit to all of us! Most especially, we cannot accept children being abused under the guise of freedom of religion!

Huh?

I dont agree with the underage sex and i dont agree with what law enforcement has done eihter. A 16 yr old calls about a man in arizona and they raid a texas compiound. next until they locate the girl I will beleive the call was staged by authorities as an excuse to raid. also they have talked to the man and his probation officer and made no arrest. something smells on both sides of this isssue.

Whar if they find out that they ran out of money and can't afford the frreloaders anymore? Maybe someone wants the kids gone to where they won't have to pay for them anymore.

Just putting any possibilities out there, plausible or not. Think of how much money they are saving every month.

It's a crock of sh!t.

Have there been any arrests?

Why not? I mean surely they are criminals, right?

If they were breaking the law, their should be arrests by now.

If they haven't broke the law, give them the kids back and stay out of their business.

I'll take it to mean that since the FDLS have been under the radar for four years and the place was raided in a well organized scheme, that they don't have anything on these people or there would have been arrests already.

They have nothing. Well except for the rumors that CPS created themselves for the majority of sheep in this country to believe. And not to dissappoint, the sheep do. Don't wake up sheep. Baaaaaaaahhhh.

I don't want Shaquanda and her seven kids by seven felons free loading anymore either, but hey, what can ya do?

According to tax records, the FDLS paid over a million$$ in taxes in a three year period. Hardly freeloading.

MARK SHURTLEFF, UTAH ATTORNEY GENERAL: Their religious belief is that they are to, what they call bleed the beast, the beast being the government. Why they hate the government, they will bleed it. They will take everything they can from it through welfare, through tax evasion and fraud.

... only one marriage is recognized as legal by the state of Utah. So the rest of the wives claim to be single moms, struggling to raise a houseful of dependents. That makes them eligible for government aid. So they collect welfare -- lots of it. And it's all legal.

SHURTLEFF: More than 65 percent of the people are on welfare, they're on food stamps, compared to about 6 percent in the general population."

Another shining example of the hypocrisy of christianity.

The United States spends $300,000,000 a year supporting the polygamist sect in Colorado City AZ. The women are considered unwed, so they receive welfare, food stamps, etc. They are forced to turn the money over to their husbands. The husbands turn the money over to the prophet while their multiple wives and children starve and are deprived of basic necessities. As if the physical and mental abuse that they are forced to endure wasn't enough!

Oh sure, the outside world is not good enough to socialize with, but they certainly take our taxpaying money to live off of.

It makes me sick that people like this use religion as an excuse to commit child abuse. Someone should be arrested for these actions.

Do some research, Mormons are not Christians. They are a cult.

And they are correct, the world is immoral and hostile, just look at it. That does not even come close to justifying their own immoral actions, though.

Something is fishy about the whole raid, though. At least the state didn't murder women and children like the Feds did in Waco.

So, money talks and as long as you have money, you can "use" your children any way you see fit? Maybe that isn't how you meant it, but that is how it sounds.

When I had family who were hired by $$$ wealthy people, those kids weren't ever touched by law enforcement or CPS because they were bought off or people were scared to turn them in. Or it was the look they live in a mansion...there's nothing going on.

Do you see the point?

They were investigated and perhaps charged for using minors in the work projects that they would underbid to get.

This is not the first time charges have been swirling around this group.

The number one priority should be helping these children, some of whom were forced to have sex AS CHILDREN with old men. Yuck. They need help no matter what the cost. Get them away from these wackos and charge the men with rape. No 11 or 12 year old girl should have to live through that kind of nightmare. They're being abused and brainwashed. Who cares how the raid came about.
And please don't try to associate these lunatics with Christians.

You're darn right - it was all based on BS from the start.
