Whoa! Polygamist solution is frightening...

[MissBrattified]

So no one minds that girls were being forced into marriage and pregnancy at a very young age, as well as being forced to marry men 5 times their age?

I define that as abuse, not "polygamy."

If an adult woman wants to choose a life of polygamy, big deal. But children should be allowed a choice, and they can't choose until they are adults.

The fact that younger men were basically ran out of the compound so the older men could have more wives, or younger wives is sickening in and of itself.

If a UPCI church or pastor was advocating the abuse of children, would anyone defend it/him?

I get the flip side of the coin--which sort of has to do with the fact that the children have been brought up this way, so it is "normal" to them. I also don't think its good for them to be separated from their mothers. There is no need for that. It's like the state is trying to detox them from their religious beliefs and polygamist lifestyle. That part is a bit frightening. But I agree with the part about protecting these young girls from early marriage and pregnancy.
