there is a huge difference between a 14 year old girl having a 14, 15, 16 year old boyfriend who as teens have things in common, who have crushes on each other and a 14 year old girl being forced to “spiritually marry” (in other words be raped) an old man she doesn’t care about or even like in order to breed more children for a religion she has been indoctrinated to accepting? Why rob a young child of her youth that is all so short for all of us to begin with? Adulthood is forever it seems. Really, just whom does this cult benefit? Am I wrong in suggesting that the entire point to YFZ is about nothing more than sex for men with multiple young wives and then breeding as many children with them as possible? Do they give to charities? what good works do they perform outside their compound for the good of their neighbors. What exactly IS their ideology? And under WHAT religious veil does YFZ exist that it has the pleasure of being tax exempt. My point being what would possibly deter a cult who worships satan from also being tax exempt? Seems to me that Satanists ought to also enjoy the same benefits and any other cult that has a lightbulb goes off in their collective heads.
I first got my period when i was 11. Boys can get erections as early as 8 years old. Does that means either of us are capable of the responsibilites that come with sexually relationships? Or possible parenthood?
It comes down to the saying: Just because we can – should we? That goes for both voluntarily and INvoluntarily.
As far as Stalin goes, who more than warren jeffs ran his compound under Stalin-like rule? When children are at risk, as they have consistantly been within these polygamous cult compounds, then yes, they should be transparent. forcing “spiritual” marriages which is nothing more than freedom to rape minors by adults is something that needs transparency by chidren’s agencies.
