The raid in
The precedents unleashed are causing dread among the religious, and righteous glee among the state Christians, that was expressed best by one exchange between the religious who cited biblical history as a precedent for girls to marry (Mary at 13), and a the State Christian who answered: "This is one of the most ridiculous posts I've seen yet. No law against it existed back in them bible days! But now the laws are on the books, so get over it...IT'S CHILD ABUSE!"
We agree with the answer: That is the essence of our repeated and ignored admonitions to the antinomian pastors, that they have placed government above Torah and then answer, "we are not under law", meaning god's Law, and neither is their government.
The evils that they have unleashed are: The requirement of genetic proof of parentage; the requirement of homeschool inspection and curriculum approval; the complete loss of the fourth amendment; mandatory birth certificates; mandatory child social security numbers; religious instruction approval; and to make imprecatory prayer a terroristic activity.
The new laws will be federal and Mormon Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has already requested DOJ to "review federal efforts to combat child abuse and criminal activity in polygamous communities."
This is an entirely a denominational dispute between the State Churches and the religious that has nothing to do with a dead rabbi named Jesus, whose mother was 14 and whose father was between 40 and 90 depending on denomination.
The State Christian was correct, there were no laws prohibiting a girl to marry, and now there are. The government sinned, not the girls or their husbands either then or now.
The rage of the fire that the tyrants in
The mothers were forbidden to pray unsupervised; the definition of child abuse was religious teaching contrary to law; and the children were dispersed to break down their fellowship and to begin the process of forced secularization and religious de-indoctrination. Even the "ministries" that are appointed to receive the children are practically speaking secular, and are preparing a shock pop culture for their arrival. Thus, sanctification is not an activity that State Churches engage in, and will not tolerate from others.
The Eldorado women were impressive compared to the
The tyrants are never content to let anyone live a separate life, and "some polygamists have isolated themselves by setting up tightly controlled towns." Like Randy Weaver, they will follow them to the remotest parts of the earth to stamp out a civil sin. Even if they kill every man, woman, and child, as they attempted to do in another bastion of State Churches,
We see that the Statists will permit no peace with them and they have control of "government"; then there is no recourse except to appeal to
