Texas cult members: like the Stepford wives
This site is about photography, not video, so normally I don't embed videos here. But for extreme examples like this, I'll make an exception. This is about the creepiest interview I have ever seen. If anyone has any doubt whether or not the polygamous FLDS Church is a cult or not, just watch the following:
Notice the women repeating the same script, sometimes all at the same time. Notice the woman in the middle with a forced smile forgetting her line and having to be bailed out by the other woman on her left. Notice the total robotic manner of all the women and how they appear absolutely programmed. One woman claims they are the "freest in the world". I found this via Poligazette, which called it "spooky" (they also feature a good interview with a former member here). This makes me very, very glad that over 400 children were taken out of this cult, at least for a little while.
And just to prove that the ACLU is on the wrong side of every issue, they are complaining about the raids, without giving any specific reasons why. Pundit Master nails it:I understand the value of an organization that constantly monitors our justice system to ensure that individual rights are upheld. I wish we had one. The ACLU claims to be one, but they certainly seem to take a disproportionate interest in the protection of child molestors, whether it be individuals or organization such as NAMBLA and the FLDS which have institutionalized the practice.
I am now praying that none of these children go back to that compound. None.
The argument the ACLU seems to be making is that the government has no concrete proof that all of the children are in danger or have been molested, therefore, those who are not proven to be damaged or in danger should be released...and the government should apologize to the FLDS.
This makes about as much sense as removing 4 children from a burning building, finding two of them in good shape, and so sending them back in.

I always thought zombies movies were fiction. Until now.
Just as a point of comment, should not a Christian instead pray that God's Will be done? It is possible that one of those children could eventually do great spiritual works in that compound. Just because the people there are technically a 'cult' doesn't mean that they aren't sinful humans that need to hear the Gospel message. How do you know one of those children are not the tool God will use to accomplish that?
To Hawkbane: while that is possible, that is possibly true in any household. Would you throw a child back into a family that is violently abusing their children, because it was possible that he/she could make a difference someday?
I think the best way to make a difference is to deprogram these women and let them know that their way of life is emotionally debilitating.
You know, it is kinda funny how people latch onto what I didn't intend to be the main point. My only comment was that should'nt we be praying for what God wills and not presume to know ourselves what is best?
To John Rohan: A child? Given just those facts and nothing else? No. The parents have obviously chosen to disreguard their God-given parental rights in the 'proper' ways of bringing up their child. However, the only influence that I have in this siutation is to pray for it, and I don't feel comfortable enough about any of this to say: "God, this is how it should come out because I think so." I feel much more comfortable saying "Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven" than "God: do this."
You have some information here I haven't seen anywhere else, thank you!
