FLDS or Real World as influence on our children

PLEASE NOTE: This blog has been corrected,, thanks to a “math person” a/k/a ”cupblog” correcting my dismal math.
According to the CDC, in 2006, (the latest date I could find)  among girls aged 15-19, 41.9 girls got pregnant per 1,000 women. Also, please note, that this includes girls up to age 19.
I’m not a math person, but I believe that is [...]

Why I feel the children needed to be separated.

This blog is in response to a blogger who posted on my site. I was going to just respond but just can’t shut up about this, so here it is.
 
Thanks for writing. It’s always good to get another viewpoint and this is an issue that I am very personally involved in; thus it is very [...]

PLEASE NOTE: I am altering this blog from the original “I’m so angry I could spit” first typing in order to comply, as much as I can with fair use of another’s material. So, please do read the link if my quotes, of Ben Stein, don’t make enough sense.
I am raging mad at Ben Stein and his [...]

Children and their mothers

There was a statement on television today that “Even children who have been abused by their mother will miss their mother, when taken away from her.”  I guess it is like the Stockholm Syndrome. 
In the first weeks after the boys moved here, the younger boy really missed home. He emailed his mom three times before she responded [...]

The background of my fantasy novel

I believe you have to write from your heart, and about what you believe in. Then, you hope that others will find it interesting too.  This book came from all of our hearts. I am only an interpreter. Like, most ideas, this book started off as a “what if.” It started from the following:
I watched [...]

It’s good to remember the happy times

After we took the second and third boy from their mother’s home, I was so stressed out that I did not sleep more than two hours at a time for a good three months. I still find it necessary to sleep with a book on tape going to keep my mind from wandering/remembering.
 
The stress resulted, [...]

FLDS-Freedom to Abuse

I was reading A BUZZFLASH GUEST CONTRIBUTION by Marci Hamilton, Esq this morning, after watching a special on Sunday Morning about the FLDS issue. 
The sticky issue, in the points that were made by Marci Hamilton and bloggers, is that if they would have prosecuted the polygamists from the start, then this whole thing would have been avoided.  I agree [...]

Indiana quake and animals

Wish TV, out of Indianapolis, had a blog going for people to write in and tell how they experienced the quake. I guess some of the geologists were even interested in it for diagnostic reasons but one of them took exception to them relating, on the air, stories of animals who got upset before the [...]

Fundamentalist Polygamist’s wives and robots

I did not see the Larry King live interview with the wives of the Fundamentalist sect in Texas, but I did see a couple of clips of it on CNN. What struck me most was their total lack of inflection or emotion in their voices and faces, while these women sat and answered the question [...]

Freedom to choose & The Movie “The Village”

I am unhappy to hear that the wives are back with the Texas Polygamist Sect. I do firmly believe in freedom of religion. But, I just cannot believe that these women have freedom of anything, let alone religion.
These women are like  abused children. They do not know any other way of life, most having grown up in [...]
