56. According to the various reports I have read and interviews I have seen

Edited on Thu Apr-10-08 12:48 PM by kestrel91316

about FLDS (info from escapees), the girls and women are denied access to books/magazines and forbidden to laugh. I can handle the no TV/radio thing, but this other is HORRIBLE.

I'm not so sure their Book of Mormon is their playbook. I am thinking they refer to The Handmaid's Tale for inspiration..........

When I first read it in 1986, I always felt safe that "it couldn't happen here". Little did I know it was ALREADY happening. FLDS is practicing REPRODUCTIVE SLAVERY.
