Sooo... My mom is super obsessed with polygamy. She doesn't believe in any of that stuff, she just loves to read books and stuff about it. Today she told me that Warren Jeffs (he was the leader of the FLDS I think?) might get out of jail. He's been in there for rape, and he really has raped many boys and girls, "in the name of God". I also read another book about polygamy about a woman who escapes from the FLDS and has to go through so much just to get out of there. The leaders can make the people do pretty much anything, all they have to do is have a "revelation". For example, polygamists threw away everything that was red in their house because their leader had a revelation that red was the devil's color. Or the leader could say that someone has to have sex with them or marry them or someone else.

I also was thinking about a book I read called "Jesus Land", and how it was about a girl who was sent to a Christian reform school, where she get whipped and beaten, and has to work super hard, even though she's really young.

Soo I just wanted to know what everyone thought of this stuff. Should we just let them do these horrible things because it's their religion? Or should we help these people who are stuck in these religions?
