flds – my thoughts

So, recently, there has been a lot of buzz, controversy, and sickening details into this Texas sect that many consider a cult. One of the problems is the polygamy issue. Why do these men feel the need to marry more than one wife. It is disgusting and unfair to the women. This can result in a pandemic of sexually transmitted diseases. What is even worse and makes you want to cry is that many of these wives are teenagers, children, young women, that have barely been broken into society. As soon as they hit puberty, they are forced to marry old men! These girls miss out on their childhood. They are meant to be baby-making machines. && the only way for them to be accepted is to “please their husbands and cater to their needs and wants.” How is this in any way just? It makes me sick in my stomach to watch the invasion into the cults. I just get this sick feeling. The worst part is, the people are shut behind gates. Like animals at a zoo, they go through their daily lives, not quite knowing what lies outside their gated community. No freedom. Can you imagine that?

This religion, sought out acceptance from God. Everything they have done, they have done in the name of God. But really, is this what God wanted? I highly doubt that.
