But a young lady choses to enter a marriage and have children with the one person they intend to spend all time and eternity with, and it's a huge political issue. And along those same lines, a man strays outside his marriage and has numerous mistresses (and even children) outside his one legal marriage, and he is not persecuted. But a man choses to have multiple wives that are all aware of each other and commited to being a permanent unified family, and they are persecuted and arrested for breaking laws. How does this make any sense?fanchonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12666942481504772690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458658945502484148.post-80960808726885398382009-05-22T12:49:21.670-07:002009-05-22T12:49:21.670-07:00Pliggy,

I am a Christ following Christian with an interest in different religious teachings. I like to explore different paths so my mind can be kept open.

That sums it up pretty well. I guess it's the psychology behind it that intrigues me. When did the change come? Why is it so strange nowadays to be a teen mother? The ability to be a mother isn't a "right" or a "privilege" or a "gift" granted by state governments. (I'm sure TBM could prove me 100% wrong on that with his colorful, military-grade, state issued box of double barrel crayons. LOL)<br /><br />The cheerleaders and major activists behind the FLDS persecution seem to be so wrapped up in their hate, that they'll hardly notice -- or care that their own freedoms are dissolving too. But hey -- it's OK as long as those darn pligs get it.<br /><br />Not as big as your blog entry yet. I'll keep practicing. :)Xorphshirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04622167369305858202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458658945502484148.post-78856198630845035502009-05-12T08:15:00.000-07:002009-05-12T08:15:00.000-07:00Allen, I really enjoyed this post.

It is very disturbing to think about a child growing up to find out either of his parents are incarcerated as a result of his/her coming into the world. It is ironic that if the FLDS practiced birth control and abortion, they wouldn't be having these legal troubles. FYI, my mother was 16 when she got pregnant, my nephew's mother was 16 when she gave birth in 1992 with the father being 22, I suppose my newphe is the result of a henious crime as well, however no one in my or her family thought anything of it...how surreal to think of what is happening nowadays.<br />My wife's grandmother was 14 when she got married. But since none of them were Fundie Mormon polygamists...it is perfectly ok.duaneh1https://www.blogger.com/profile/02214130735752081136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458658945502484148.post-71776078697392501542009-05-11T21:35:00.000-07:002009-05-11T21:35:00.000-07:00"I'm afraid it would end up being bigger than your...<I>"I'm afraid it would end up being bigger than your blog entry.

Since then, all I've come up with is the interesting phrase "Color Of Law."<br /><br />I could go on and on about this -- but I'm afraid it would end up being bigger than your blog entry.
