I'm sure they didn't imagine this could happen.<BR/><BR/>*sigh*<BR/>There are days I myself wouldn't mind building a big white wall and living out my happy life with my organic garden and dairy, working together with other likeminded folks!EllaJachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17937838823211562533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36612182.post-24119357553771812132008-05-05T10:44:00.000-06:002008-05-05T10:44:00.000-06:00I pretty much concur with what you've said here- s...I pretty much concur with what you've said here- same questions, same observations.<BR/>One *possible* story on the wives and children in other places- one of them is the Richard Barlow the SLTrib interviewed today who has eight children in custody. On the form a year ago they were all listed as being at Short Creek. Towards teh end of the form where there's a listing of dwellings, a couple of them say something like 'needs help.' I *wonder* if *some* of the men came ahead to YfZ to build the houses and get things ready, and that's why their families weren't with them.<BR/><BR/>Others, of course, maybe women who chose not to live in the community anymore and left with their children, as the FLDS have said sometimes happens. But we really don't know. <BR/><BR/>I do not approve or even sympathize with many FLDS doctrines and practices- but that doesn't mean they deserve to lose their children. I know you agree, I just get so aggravated with this case.Headmistress, zookeeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14071449326819510530noreply@blogger.com
