Mormonism in the USA and placed a focus on the FLDS and how two brothers murdered their sister in law and baby toddler niece in the name of God It was such a compelling book that I wanted to

of the LDS church, I have always found myself see sawing between repulsion and horrified fascination when I read about the twisted atrocities that the FLDS have made of polygamy and LDS church doctrine As I ve read some of the news accounts over the years, I ve wondered How could they possibly read the same scriptures I do, and NOT see how impossibly screwed up their practices a...I first

pioneer clothed people I encountered They regularly frequented the same fabric stores as I did I saw middle aged women with young daughters picking out fabric for wedding dresses After asking around I learned they were polygamists and Fundamentalists, a break off group of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints I also learned that the huge white comp Make that ...Out of all the books I ve read about polygamy, this is definitely my favorite It is written by an LDS cowboy who makes his living doing private investigating and a little bounty hunting on the side I was expecting some red

individual stories, and then outlines the legal battles against Warren Jeff Out of all the books I ve read about polygamy, this is definitely my favorite It is written by an LDS cowboy who makes his

and I ve always felt that it s reprehensible the way these cults treat their women and children, demeaning them, abusing them, by taking the word of the Bible and skewing those ideas to excuse their perverseness It s just one subject that pisses me off to no end So, I liked that Sam Brower didn t shy away from the cruelty that the FLDS inflicts on its members and didn t sugarcoat it It is what it
