It's Texas' Turn to battle with Polygamy

Thu Apr 10, 2008 at 12:54:24 PM

By Rick Barrs

More than 400 young girls have been freed from the bonds of "spiritual marriage" to older men as the result of a police raid of a polygamist compound operated by the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in San Angelo, Texas.

Phoenix New Times wrote about this Texas compound on November 10, 2005, as polygamists began to relocate there after authorities descended on the fundamentalist Mormon capital of Colorado City, Arizona (and adjacent Hildale, Utah) looking for FLDS Prophet Warren Jeffs, among others charged with sexual abuses of young girls within the religion. Jeffs has since been convicted in Utah and faces trial in Arizona. The story on Jeffs and the compound, "Wanted: Armed and Dangerous," was part of a series of articles on the FLDS by writer John Dougherty. Not only did Dougherty's New Times stories, dating back to October 3, 2002, reveal that the FLDS was forcing underage girls into sexual unions with adult males with multiple "wives," he discovered that the fundamentalist church was fraudulently misusing state and federal funds in the Colorado City public school system. Check out the New Times special report: Polygamy in Arizona.

I previously referenced the laws specifically enacted against the FLDS regarding marriage in which Texas changed the marriage age from 14 to 16 and changed penalties from misdemeanors to felonies. With this being such an obvious violation of the first amendment, I was amazed to find that Mark Shirtleff, AG of Utah openly admits to it.

"…so they moved to Texas where at that time their laws were substantially more lax with the 14 year old marriage age and I went down and testified in their legislature several years ago, they toughened their laws…"

I have 60 detailed audio's up on YouTube with enough Warren Jeffs audio cassettes to make 3,000 such video clips. As for Government Agencies several hundred.

When did they know, then how much, then why did it take so long?

I heard Bill O'Rielly say he is investigating with his experts and yet he hasn't found me! I have email him a dozen times in 8 years, but I never got a response!

Is it a wonder, the issue was ever discovered? I was the Tri-State Rep. of FOR KIDS SAKE in Arizona, Nevada & Utah, from 1996 to 2001. I have over 10,000 related emails on this to government agencies, but until TEXAS!

VIVA LA TEXAS! They had the guts to do what they did. Read the FLDS Text and listen to 500 hours of Warren and WAKE UP!

We wouldn't of made it this far without the NEW TIMES and their Journalist JOHN DOUGHERTY!

How about looking at that 3 million dollar plus Airport in Colorado City!

or how about how a HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT was spent?

Did the government hire the right folks to unravel this sect?


The Jehovah's Witnesses have settled lawsuits alleging church policies protected pedophile men who sexually abused children for many years.
