Have you heard about the 401 children and women taken off a Polygamist Ranch in Texas?
'The children are being kept at a temporary shelter at historic Fort Concho in nearby San Angelo while authorities investigate whether a child bride gave birth on the ranch at age 15 The children in state custody are joined at the shelter by 133 women, most of them mothers, who were taken during the past few days from the sprawling Yearning for Zion ranch, said Marleigh Meisner, a spokeswoman for the state's Child Protective Services agency.
The women are free to return to the 1,900-acre compound, officials said, but many have chosen to remain. At this point, officials said, the children's fathers are not permitted to see them'

yeah, I read that in the paper the last couple of days. The power of faith is really amazing sometimes. When people believe that strongly in.....whatever they believe in....the things they'll do.....

I did a couple of years ago. Under the Banner of Heaven. It's an INCREDIBLE book, highly recommend it but you have to like non-fiction (I do)...it's a lot of facts and history and such, but it was so enlightening. It really gives you such insight into the Fundamentalist's belief system and how and why they live their lives the way they do.
