Eldorado, Texas - Polygamy
« on: April 07, 2008, 04:30:52 PM »

I'm sure many of you are seeing the ongoings of this on tv and hearing it on the radio.   Some very sick things going on here.  It looks as if they have removed about 400 women and children from this site.  Sad situation!!!  :( :( :( :(

What I could never understand is why would a man marry more than one wife at once? I can't do all the honey do's that one wife can think up.

Check these pictures out:  http://www.childbrides.org/photos.html

I wonder if they'll seize the land eventually...  It looks like it could make for a great venue for Rallies, and Woodstock type events...

Here is the GPS coordinates, but you can't see much except early stages of construction on google earth:  30°55'25"N, 100°31'55"N

I have to say, OUTSIDE of the disgusting and illegal child-bride aspect, I don't know what the issue with polagamy is.  If someone wants 3 wives or three husbands AND THEY ALL KNOW ABOUT EACH OTHER *AND* nobody is trying to defraud anyone of anything, so what?

If they are of age and of free will it is more natural than gay marrage. But if you have more than one, chances are at least one of them is going to be cranky every DAY. Who wants that!  :-\

the text of that link above kind of freaked me out at first,  :o  wasn't sure whether I should click it or not...  But it turned out to be a non-profit supporting escapees.

I'd venture to say most of the wives are also sisters.


I bet the family tree looks like one of those braded ficus trees.

That is why in the Bible it says that an elder or a deacon in the church should be the husband of one wife. 

So, it is funny to me how the elders of this particular church have more than one wife.  If they base the polygamy on religious beliefs, because that is the only way that it could be protected.

From what I saw all the wife's were on welfare, sounds like a racket to me.
