my two cents
first off, brainwashing fourteen year olds to believe its good or even mandatory to have relations is wrong. period. The same goes for doing it to anyone of any age, come to think of it.
Brainwashing children to think they are ugly and unworthy is wrong.
Teaching them they need to have liposuction, nose jobs and implants is also wrong.
Letting gang culture flourish to the point where schools all over the country need metaldetectors is wrong.
As such i dont really see where mainstream society (in persona of CPS) gets its moral highground from?
The abuse of children should stop, and be stopped, true. Everywhere! Why focus on this 400 strong group, though?
We live in a world where drugaddicts bear children for the point of smuggling drugs inside them.
In europe alone there are an estimated twohundred and fifty THOUSAND (250.000 ! ) "white slaves" that is people (girls and boys) picked off the streets of the former soviet nations, held captive, transported across borders and forced to work against their will in what PC calls the 'adult entertainment industry'.
These girls are not all of legal age, for sure. And dont tell me that sort of thing doesnt happen in America. Just look at your local chinese massage parlor.
In this context we have girls of 14 forced to be with men (plural) that they do not even know, also of ages 50 and above, with no perceived perspective of eternal salvation (be that notion misguided or otherwise).
Now it is the same mainstream society, that condones the above practice (and ultimately pays to keep it operational), that would prosecute the YFZ people at tremendous expense. Why is nothing discernable being done about these other countless open and unconcealed crimes?
That said, i would like to distance myself from both what happened/happens in the YFZ. And from the texas law's reaction for that matter. Just look at this thread, though: we're on our 9th page!! Is there nothing else going on in the world that deserves our indignation? Last I heard there was something unspeakable going on in Darfur, for instance.
