"Court documents filed Wednesday say a victim came forward and told state officials leaders of the FLDS church watched, taped, and participated in several sexual encounters with underage girls between five and six times a week. The victims ages ranged from 8 years old to 14 years old.

"This horrific religious doctrine and religious rituals as performed on Plaintiff consisted of Plaintiff, beginning at the age of 8, having a bag placed over her head, led out of her house by representatives of the Defendants, placed in a vehicle, and being driven to an unknown location,' court documents said.
The victim was given a number she was known as during these "rituals". Court documents say she was called by number only. Once she arrived to the secret location the victim claimed she was required to engage in sexual acts with the leaders. She was told if she said anything about it "God would destroy her and her family immediately".
Court documents later say Warren Jeffs told the victim if she was suffering pain "it was because God was unhappy with her and that if [she] cried during these encounters, God would punish her."
The victim said once she turned 14 she was required to become a witness and scribe for these "rituals".
Photo evidence for these acts was found in the FLDS church's temple in Eldorado, Texas, according to charging documents.
At the age of 16, the victim said she was required to go to "Ladies Class" to "learn how to be a good wife." During class, the victim said Lyle Jeffs would take her from class into a sound proof office and sexually abuse her "under the guise of further teachings in the 'Ladies Class'," documents say.
Members believed if they disobeyed orders, especially one that involved sex with leaders, they stood at significant risk of losing his or her family or home, charging documents explain.
Every president since the formation of the church have been involved with sexual relations with underage girls, the court documents say.
Photo Caption: Members were taught that the underage girls should engage in sexual intercourse to accomplish the doctrinal goal of the FLDS Church to raise up good priesthood children.
The victim is asking the court for a trial by jury. These claims have been filed against Warren Jeffs, Lyle Jeffs, Seth Jeffs, Wendell LeRoy Nielsen, the FLDS Church, the Corporation of the President of the FLDS Church, the Corporation of the Presiding Bishop of the FLDS Church, and the United Effort Plan Trust."

Dont be fooled. The mormons have spent 100 years putting their people in positons of power in politics, the military, and the media. When the time is right they will declare a new revelation and reinstate polygamy to mainstream mormonism. If we could just spark a holy war between these cult members and scientology. Although scientology is smaller and mormons are well armed scientology is absolutely ruthless. It would be interesting to watch.

I was raised mainstream Mormon, and while I don't doubt there are efforts to get members in positions of power, putting mainstream Mormonism in the same class as Scientology is just retardedly foolhardy. TBH, I don't go or believe the dogma, but the wife and I have discussed going back, simply because they create such an amazing and strong community of genuinely good (sometimes a little christcucked) people. Mormonism has a growing almost reformation movement where they aren't as fundamentalist. As I get older and have a kid on the way, I find myself really liking the effect the Mormon church has in instilling strong Christian values, and I value what I was taught and learned their as a child. Joseph Smith was a con artist, like all founders of a religion(even Christ), but look at the good works of the Mormons. They are a pretty fucking great people(minus the whole Chosenites bullshit of believing they are basically cousins of the Jews), and I wish my neighborhood had even more of them in it.

comparing Joseph smith to Jesus just proved my point you fucking evil cult member.

Of course Mormons are a cult, they believe in the bible...
con77 ago
they do not. J Smith was a false prophet
Fuzzycrumpkin ago
Dude yes they do... They only added another book that they believe in. They still read the Saint James version of the bible. They recite passages out of it during mass every Sunday. They are Christians...they believe in Christ. They perform sacrament honoring the sacrifice of Christ where the blood and flesh are consumed via bits of bread and sips of water, because they believe he died for their sins. They believe they are saved because of that. The only difference is they think Joseph Smith is a prophet like John, Luke or Paul.
They are a cult because they are Christians.
If your saying otherwise it is obvious that you have had no interaction with them, and know very little about them.

theyre not christians
Fuzzycrumpkin ago
They are by definition Christians.
con77 ago
that depends on your definition
Fuzzycrumpkin ago
a person who has received Christian baptism or is a believer in Jesus Christ and his teachings.
They are baptized when they are 8, and they teach the teachings of Jesus Christ. They are Christian by definition. Youre prejudice against them because they practice blasphemy, because they believe in an addition gospel you don't. They are still Christians.

they follow a false prophet. I would ally with them over skunkology or islam but only until those two evils were defeated.

Don't waste your time. No point in arguing with a God hater and a self important fool. Pearls before swine.

See blasphemy. No other reason. Your religion is blasphemy but what do you care, because it is the one you believe in, so for you it is the one true religion. Now you know why the some jews don't recognize your religion, and why they don't like you. You "believe in a false prophet" of Jesus christ. As you refuse to acknowledge another's prophet so to do other refuse to acknowledge yours.
Did Jesus have a nipple or no? Doesnt really matter which way you answer because someone will kill for believing different.
