Shepgirl, you are ignorant and your remarks just paint you moreso. Are you a mormon? Have you ever been a mormon? If the answer is no, then you have NEVER been inside a mormon temple. Only those who belong to the church and have blessings and recomends from their bishops are allowed into the temples. You obviously do not belong to the mormon church and therefore do not know anything about what they do or don't do to help others. If you were a mormon you would already know how much they do for those in need. And actually I am not a mormon either but I find your remarks completely ignorant.

As far as the FLDS, there is a lot that people don't know or understand about it, and not everyone who practices polygamy falls under the same umbrella. Some offshoot groups do very strange and odd things, but not all of them who practice it beleive in those things so it's best not to use a broad brush to paint all people the same, even those who beleive some of the same teachings. I think that goes for all religions whether someone is a beleiver of them or not. Child abuse shoudl not be tolerated in any religion, but I also beleive they are going about this the wrong way.
