Since, the goal of the FLDS men is to have multiple wives, it only makes since that the geezers could handle (support) more wives than the much young boys. Why should the geezers keep the younger males around to only grow older, stronger and powerful and limit the pool of available girls? Do they take pride in the number of wives that they have? Is that the pecking order for the men's position in the cult? It would be nice to have a little more detail on this cult.
The one thing that is clear after thinking about this is that the desire for POWER seems to be at play. It's funny how that seems to happen again and again in this life, huh?

The boys are only put out if they break the rules. Like talking to girls, holding hands with girls, drinking, smoking, swearing and the such. They actually have to do something to get them kicked out. The families absolutely believe in the doctrine and even though it is hard turn their backs on them they support the decision to kick them out.
