ELDORADO, Texas - More than 400 children, mostly girls in pioneer dresses, were swept into state custody from a polygamist sect in what authorities described Monday as the largest child-welfare operation in Texas history.

The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, headed by [Warren] Jeffs after his father's death in 2002, broke away from the Mormon church after the latter disavowed polygamy more than a century ago.

Jeffs is jailed in Kingman, Ariz., where he awaits trial for four counts each of incest and sexual conduct with a minor stemming from two arranged marriages between teenage girls and their older male relatives.
In November, he was sentenced to two consecutive sentences of five years to life in prison in Utah for being an accomplice to the rape of a 14-year-old girl who wed her cousin in an arranged marriage in 2001.
This feels like ripping the Father’s sheep mask off and coming face to face with the real blood-eyed monster, snaggle teeth blood-smeared, breath stinking with the stale blood of hundreds of thousands of women and children it’s consumed for lunch for the past several centuries.

Terrible! This group taught that women should to obey their husbands to reach heaven!
Greetings from Barcelona!
Welcome from Barcelona, helenic. Yes, can you imagine how men would howl if they were asked to follow a religion in which, in order to get to heaven they had to "obey" their wives?
Goddess religions don't treat people like slaves. Goddess religions would not mistreat men the way god religions routinely mistreat women and children.
To the Goddess, all Her children are equal, men and women alike. No one gets special treatment above and beyond what anyone else gets.
And she instructs us to view each other in the same way: all equally valuable, all worthy of the same respect and deep regard, no matter who a person is, how she behaves, or what she looks like.
Wow - excellent post! I have nothing against polygamy but that isn't what was going on in that cult. No one under 18 should be allowed to marry, and young girl should be forced to marry an old man, especially if he's a relative. This was systematic rape and child abuse - YAJ's specialty.
