Child welfare in Texas removes children from polygamist compound UPDATE #13

[RobiLee]

I just want to speak up and say that I didn't like shepgirl's post either. Others have said it better than me so I don't have much else to say. I just don't understand the generalizing of it all.

One comment, and like comments above me it's about Shepgirl's post......

You don't like Amish, mormons, anyone else you don't like?

You say "at least the Royals came from money....."

Where in **** do you think the Royal Family got their money? It wasn't from playing poker.

[shepgirl]

Lady's Human----Please read my post. It says the royals already come from money. The Windsors for example were born wealthy from hundreds of years back. They had money before becoming royals. It's all around us----some are born wealthy, some are born poor, that just the way the world revolves.
And some are lucky and win the lottery, wish it could be me.

Although the post isn't about the Amish, I never said I didn't like the Amish. I said I didn't like the way they treated their animals, big difference.

[Lady's Human]

Amish people are not people I deal with, they get a wide berth from me.

This isn't saying you don't like the way they treat their animals.

Where, praytell, do you think the windsors got their money? Here's a hint, it wasn't from willing donations, unlike churches and temples.

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.

Vela---I wasn't going to answer this but to set the record straight I do know about the mormon religion, know the beliefs, know how they pray and have been in a temple. I know exactly how the religion works. If you're wondering how I know let me educate you to the fact that I was a mormon and quit for a very good reason for another religion.

"Child abuse should not be tolerated in any religion"

Child abuse should not be tolerated period, religion or not.

As this is a pet forum, maybe religion and politics belong on a different forum.

Shepgirl, Honestly you are pretty new here to be saying how this forum should be run and coming on here insulting whole groups of people.
