Thank you so much for writing this! I just read Stolen Innocence, the story of Elissa Wall, and was doing a project on it and just got lost in your article. You have helped me so much, and thanks for spreading the awareness that this is not okay!

Carolyn Jessop is my hero. She was very brave to leave this cult with no money and eight children, and reveal the truth of it to the world.

There are many things about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS Church) and the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS Church) that are incorrect and misinterpreted. To all readers of this article please look for a better source of information that here. The so called “facts” presented are incorrect. Some things are near to the truth but other things are extremely far from the truth, nearly a lie.

Pretty good sources Josey. Carolyn Jessop Who hated polygamy so much she escaped her polygamous marriage and married another polygamist. Someone who more than likely had first hand knowledge that the call made that started this whole mess was fake. And John Krakhauer. Who is? Some authority because he wrote a book slaming Mormonism as whole? Someone who by his own admission grew up in a Mormon community and wasn’t included in any rain deer games. Boo Hoo. Krak is about right. So what did everybody learn here? More disinformation. Thanks.

lolwut,

These people are way out there in terms of what most people consider normal, which is a good way to get noticed but that is not what caused this ordeal to happen. A woman called in claiming to be marriage off and abused. When they went in and saw the situation, they felt the women and children were at risk, and a judge ordered their immediate removal.

Abuses were found, underage girls were married off to strangers, even one that they found that was from Canada that they claimed was only visiting relatives. Boys were found with poorly mended broken bones, and there are mysteriously no old people at the compound. You are allowed to believe what you want but, the state and country have laws to are placed to protect children and provide certain things to them. The courts said the children will be going back but, they will be dealing with child protective services for along time.

They are isolated for a reason, they are denied an education for a reason. These people are controlled, and their keepers do a very good job of keeping the blinders on. For many of these people this has been the first time they have been off the compound. In that kind of situation do you think these people have a choice wither they would want to participate in this type of life?

Josey,
You have told me a lot I didn't know. Much of what you wrote is really shocking. Its cults like this that give religion a bad name. Its no wonder that the world is so full of sinners. If some 92 year old jerk said I couldn't hug or kiss my mom when she was alive, I would've hit this evil demon so hard the devil himself would have felt it. Nobody should be denied the affections of they're mother!!! One good thing about cults like this, is one day they will be wiped from the earth by god himself!!! and oh what a victory that will be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
