Polygamy: A most telling comment from a mother in the Texas Cult
The story is below, the most telling comment comes in the last two sentences when a mother from within the compound comments. Even after their leader went to prison for sexual molestation of a child, they still cling to the notion that their life is more "pure" than the outside world.

They are learning terrible things from the questions being asked, things that they have never been exposed to. They have been so protected here."

1. The only thing they have been protected from in the FLDS compound
is the knowledge of (the difference between) good and evil. Yeah. It's a veritable Garden of Eden, that place is...........

Come to Paradise!!!!! Bring the kids, too!!!! We can arrange to rape the girls and throw away the boys!!! And hey, dads - you can have some hot young cuties, too!!!!! (The wife won't mind after you beat her black and blue)

2. They're learning that being molested is a bad thing
Yeah, how horrible for them. To bad they aren't being "protected" any more.
