Do you know they got rid of young boys because they'd be competition for the older men? Yuck. How do you condone this?

Sorry. That didn't work right before.

How do they do this?

when the original story broke a couple of years ago (cult leader warren jeffs on the run and finally caught and convicted for aiding in the rape of a teenager by an older relative by forcing her to marry him... an illegal marriage, by the way, like any second, third, or later marriage, or any marriage to a minor), many former cult members were interviewed. many of them were guys. when they become of age, the other cult members cut them off. they're not allowed to acknowledge they exist, not even their own parents or siblings. to acknowledge them or to help them in any way brings severe consequences. so the teenage boys end up being kicked out on the street and forced to leave the commune. this is what happens in that religion every day. boys are forced out completely, girls are forced into marriage with old perverts.

Were they left with no birth certificates or anything to make it in the world?

kat, most of the boys are forced out at puberty, what good does a birth certificate do when you've been brought up in a totally insular society, and your kicked out at 13 or 14?????

This cult is SO messed up...it will take God to sort it out. What do they do with the young boys? They just dump them somewhere? Isn't that another crime?

I am truly distressed at the taking apart of these families!!! If marring 15yr olds and having more than one wife is the worst thing going on there... Geez bring their families back together!!!! Please share with me the terriblness of these things because I guess j am missing something.

Hi Merin,

I am appauled at your shallow view in looking at 15 yr olds marrying a man perhaps her own father I'm sure unwillingly and then those young girls have to share that man which is forbidden as it is sexual immorality which is also forbidden.

OC

I never said anything about 15yr olds marring their fathers!!!!!!!!

Thank so much

[Merin]

He said he must be missing something, and so we were explaining to him what he was missing.
