I don't deny that FLDS need welfare, but that they have created their circumstances as they break the laws of the land and God's laws.
The 12th Article of Faith Says
12 We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
President Hinckley said any members that practiced polygamy would be excommunicated for doing so. So Fiannan, your claim that these polygamists are keeping a commandment is nonsense and the fact that they are bringing lots of spirits into the world isn't anymore valiant than people who have many children while shacking up. God doesn't command people to commit adultery. A prophet said that the practice of polygamy was to end. The apostate groups who chose to stray from the church over this revelation shouldn't be praised for it. There was a season for polygamy and that season is over.
