is marrying off 15yr olds and multiple wifes a big deal?

Good point why would that be considered good?

Genesis 2:23-24 The man said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man." Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.

Deuteronomy 17:14-17 When you are come to the land which Yahweh your God gives you, and shall possess it, and shall dwell therein, and shall say, I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are round about me; you shall surely set him king over you, whom Yahweh your God shall choose: one from among your brothers shall you set king over you; you may not put a foreigner over you, who is not your brother. Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he may multiply horses; because Yahweh has said to you, You shall henceforth return no more that way. Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart not turn away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.

Matthew 19:4-5 He answered, "Haven't you read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, `For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will join to his wife; and the two will become one flesh?`

Matthew 19:8-9 He said to them, "Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so. I tell you that whoever will put away his wife, except for sexual immorality, and will marry another, commits adultery; and he who marries her when she is put away commits adultery."

Mark 10: 7-11 But from the beginning of the creation, `God made them male and female. For this cause will a man leave his father and mother, and will join to his wife, and the two will become one flesh,` so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate." In the house, his disciples asked him again about the same matter. He said to them, "Whoever will divorce his wife, and marry another, commits adultery against her.

1 Corinthians 7:1-3 Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me. It is good for a man not to touch a woman. But, because of sexual sins, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. Let the husband render to the wife her due, and likewise also the wife to the husband.

Ephesians 5:25-33 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it; that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word, that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself. For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as Christ also the assembly; because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones. "For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh." This mystery is great, but I speak in regard of Christ and of the assembly. Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

I've studied this cult for over 3 years. I can guarantee you as an expecting mother, if any 50 year old man tried to marry my 13 year old daughter, I'd castrate him myself and make sure the pervert was thrown in prison.

And that would be the typical response from any mother or father in their right mind. Many of the men in this cult are simply perverts disguised as religious leaders. And the women are brainwashed and emotionally still teenagers themselves due to never being allowed to grow up within a healthy community that teaches true right and wrong. Instead, everything they've been fed has been cult teachings from their cult leaders.

The children need to be taken away, the women put into intense therapy for healing and the men thrown in prison for life.

I would say this pretty well covers my feelings about this issue also!

That about almost covers my view of it to, except to say that the men should have something cut off....completely...

They need prayer more than anything. No offense but if your hearts are hardened enough that you think they should be hurt more than what the law prescribes as punishment, then you need to ask Him to soften your hard heart.

I never said they should be hurt! But the government needs to make a really big point with this case, to show all of the others caught up in this cult that they mean business and ARE going to do something about it.

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?

So they just end up homeless?
