1. prostitution - plain and simple |
|
they should all go to jail.
And their children to deprogramming camp.
What a sorry bunch they are. No wonder they keep "popping those kids out". They're a moneymaker I tell ya.

I gotta tell you i didn't hang around the site long enough to click on anything after scrolling through because it creeped me out.
Got the link over at "Digby's" and there wasn't a warning it was a joke. Site didn't seem to be a joke...why do you think it is?

9. I think the Testimonials page gives it away. Everything else on the |
|
site looked real enough though.

3. OK, now that is the creepiest thing I've seen in a long while. |
|
Edited on Sun Sep-09-07 06:36 PM by Kutjara
So it's ok if you're a pedophile as long as you're a Christian pedophile? WTF?
This has to be some kind of joke. I'm sure even the Midwest has laws about this sort of thing.
on edit: Read the testimonials. I think it's pretty clear this is a parody.

The descriptions were TOO....creepy.
Didn't see any evidence that is was a joke, but it was just too much to be believed. Are there are laws about age of consent. You can't just sell your 13 year old daughter.

7. I know some states like SC allowed 14 year olds to marry. |
|
I don't know if they changed it...and 13 seems too young for even the most lenient of states... :shrug:

8. They're claiming "protected religious practice" |
|
From their FAQ
Q: IS YOUR SERVICE LEGAL? A: Absolutely. Within the United States girls can marry as young as 13 years old with parental permission, and the Bride Price is a custom of long standing, mentioned many times in the Bible, and as such is a protected religious practice. Click HERE for a listing of the age limits and legal requirements in various states. Click HERE for what the Bible says on Bride Price.
Q: WHAT IS A BRIDE PRICE? A: The bride price is an ancient custom, somewhat like a dowry. A man wishing to marry a woman would offer her family a Bride Price in cash or kind, or sometimes offer to work for their family.

21. Spoof site I'm certain. I did see on another site a screen print |
|
of someones report of the site to the FBI; feds might not have a sense of humor about the subject, even as a spoof.
