Re: LDS Texas Children
by cheryl9969

i'm not mormon. not even close but i hope everyone who values their freedom to worship will take a look around in their own lives and how their own beliefs have been scrutinized and tested. how far off do you all think we are from facing the same fate. this nation is moving from “a land under God” to one that puts believer’s out on the delusional weak minded side of the fence, saying we speak to an imaginary god.

no one wants kids or these peculiar people to be hurt or to have them lost to another Waco. but i think, everyone knows that taking them away was just seizing an opportunity to get them out safely before something tragic 'could've' happened. no one wants another disaster so we had to do something, right?

but now everyone’s scrambling and trying to find enough dirt to keep them out. Probably even willing to go against what they think is right by doing a little mind-shaping on the children to get them to elaborate just enough to mix a bit of fact from their “secret lives” with a little fiction. I mean the pressure has to be pretty intense right now. In order for the next religious sect to be legally violated you have to find something here, right?

i wonder who will decide which kind of religion is acceptable?

i hope my church gets put on the 'good' list. i mean, imagine being helpless to stop your own children from being taken away because someone 'may or may not have' said something suspect about one of your neighbors or about your pastor or priest – why is it acceptable to take all the children from an entire city block, or a whole congregation - oh wait there are over 400 kids, that would be equivalent to an entire small town or every single kid in a shopping mall!!

i think the chances just increased that church registries will get collected by some legal office, for some greater good so when someone does something or says something someone doesn’t agree with, the whole next generation of that religion gets wiped away. but religion just causes differences right? and everyone should think the same. there's less fighting that way.

Hmm… has that happened before? if it did i'm sure the news articles read about the same way as they do today.

Now these kids are put in an already over strained foster care system where they will be bounced around and abused (by the way) and given labels and medications and convinced of their need for ongoing therapy. but at least this way we all sleep easier knowing we got them out.

what about all of these expert agencies who's jobs depend on government funding? well now they will have reliable income and all the legal means to support it, I mean the court is going to depend on these child experts to decide what’s best for these kids!

so what do we do next? do we shut'em down, demo the place, sterilize the women or maybe leave it all there and take their future children too. sort of a mormon farm so our experts can run experiments on the delusional religious mind. No, that couldn’t happen because in order to do that they would have to be able to have some evidence of abuse right? right?

it seems like the only thing anyone can prove in these cases is that these families are being persecuted because of their religion.

These kids need to be returned to their families.
