I DO think that she was just as interested in the wives as in Kody. I get the vibe that she is actually attracted to the gals.<br /><br /> I don't think she is honest. She said she never had baby rooms when she was married to her first husband...not even a crib. Where did the baby sleep, in a desk drawer? Also, then what in the world did she charge up so high at Target? <br /><br />I think she has some obsessive tendencies which were reflected in those high debts. They will be played out in other ways, just wait and see. She likes to shop, and isn't much of a housekeeper; and she does not seem at all interested in her children, except to use them to gain sympathy. They are having trouble adjusting and her solution is to move them OUT?! Wow. How cold is that? We can see they are brats, they act out, but man, who wouldn't when you have been through all those poor kids have been through in their lifetime? They are truly the biggest victims in this whole circus.Lindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-83413281978070595062011-12-02T13:15:56.879-05:002011-12-02T13:15:56.879-05:00Anon 1:23 -

It has tried, unsuccessfully, to sweep it under the rug and pretend it doesn't exist.<br /><br />Far from taking on the problem head-on, the regular LDS doesn't want to expose it's polygamous origins (or the nature of it's polygamous god) to the world. What they want to avoid is a public arguement over the early tenets of their religion, which favors the FLDS in a big way.<br /><br />The LDS considers itself the spiritual descendents of the Hebrews, and Joseph Smith intended polygamy to be a core of the religion (to be like King David, Solomon, Abraham, etc.) It's not that difficult to find the original scripture on line. There is really no wiggle room for the mainstream LDS. The text is all there, for the world to see.<br /><br />There has been much secular journalism done on the refusal of Utah/LDS to prosecute polygamists. You should look into it. <br /><br />Utah is NOT fighting the Feds on this! Utah is essentially ignoring the problem. <br /><br />My brother's best friend did his residency in SLC. He treated an enormous number of hidden polygamist women, coming to his office surrounded by kids, claiming the support of the state and no husband. Yet they all wore garments, at least, and often full prairie dress.<br /><br />Even in investigating the whole welfare fraud industry, Utah has been deficient. Texas, Arizona, Oregan and New Mexico have done far more to investigate the "bleed the beast" phenomena in polygamous societies.<br /><br /><br />You have to know, being from Utah, that pyramid schemes abound there. Pyramid schemes are outright PROTECTED by Utah legislation. It brings in more cash than tourism. This essentially makes Utah the fraud capital of the USA. It's especially rampant in the polygamy communities where only one member takes all the risks, takes out the credit necessary, and then simply declares bankruptcy when things sour.<br /><br />An unattached women with 6-10 children on Medicare who defaults on maxed credit cards (the funds which were used to start family scams) is not going to be sent to prison in Utah. Polygamists count on this and use it with impunity.plothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01398328924856645566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-35757233668662261712011-12-01T13:23:06.685-05:002011-12-01T13:23:06.685-05:00I think some perception needs to be shared here. I...I think some perception needs to be shared here. I am someone who grew up in Utah, joined the LDS faith (not the fundamentalist), and have personally witnessed the on-goings of the church in the state. <br /><br />The LDS religion basically rules the state. There really is no division of church and state in Utah. The LDS religion has tried to cover its past from polygamy. In doing so, they try and squash every polygamous family out. Their children are taught contempt for those lifestyles. <br /><br />Trust me when I say that even if they weren't in some fraudulent situations the state would be after them. Utah does not turn a blind eye to polygamous on-goings. They just have to tread carefully as to not create situations where the federal government wouldn't side with them. The Utah mentality is all about making examples out of any person who steps out of line.<br /><br />"Mormons" want every association with polygamy and the religion removed. Having a show about sister wives puts them a step back and puts the whole state under scrutiny. Which, trust me, the way that state is run, they don't want. <br /><br />All these hypothesis about what Christine has done is unnecessary if you really understand the state they came from. I guarantee you illegals have done worse damages to the system than the Browns have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-26595418235997399682011-11-30T17:47:23.618-05:002011-11-30T17:47:23.618-05:00Gosh, someone more in tune with each age can help ...Gosh, someone more in tune with each age can help with this.

I don't think they would have thought much of their dad having sex with the other mom, just like regular kids don't really dwell on their parents having sex either. But having Robyn join the family 17 years later, when half the kids are now of the age that they know what sex is, and some being at an age that they can now 'group-court", of course the topic of their dad and sex will be on the the forefront of their minds, and how gross is that when you are a teenager? Especially when the new mom is 10, 12 years younger than your dad, almost 10 years younger than their mom(s), is hotter and in better shape than their moms and sounds like an immature yet know-it-all, holier-than-thou TEENAGER who is now tying to mother them? No wonder Hunter is uncomfortable around her! I think it was Janelle who said earlier on how each group of siblings secretly thought their mom was Kody's favorite, and I can see if the kids are secretly resentful of Robyn usurping their mom's position.Religulousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-68343047212775517382011-11-30T12:27:15.932-05:002011-11-30T12:27:15.932-05:00Sue- Yes she did.

Suppose everyone in the world converted to it. Wouldn't there be too many men to support polygamy? It would not be sustainable. <br /><br />I know FLDS runs young boys off the compound (Lost Boys of Utah) so as they won't compete with the older men.

Blogger a...I think there must be a word limit lol. Blogger always puts stuff in Japanese so I have no idea what it said. Part 2:<br /><br />Another thought I had is that as I've learned about this topic the Brown's family "wreath" really isn't even that convoluted for a polygamist family. someone (I cannot remember who) was outraged that someone would suggest that Kody could later marry Robyn's older daughters. I'm not as certain about AUB (there's much less dirt on them so far) but in the FLDS and other sects (who, let's not skirt the issue, are really VERY close to the AUB for all of their denials of Warren Jeffs) men marry their stepdaughters with an alarming frequency. In the book "Under the Banner of Heaven" Krakauer interviews a woman who has somehow managed to become her own step-grandmother. I think she marries her stepmother's (mom's sisterwife) father. All in all the Brown's may claim to be far removed from Jeffs and his craziness, but I don't believe they can be. The number of "high power" last names like Allred and Jessop indicate that they are right in the thick of things. It was a Jessop boy who murdered Christine's grandfather. Now, they all breed like crazy, so it could be distant relationships, but I'd like to see them provide a family tree before I believe it. Anways, men marrying women who are related to themselves or one of their previous wives is very common and yet another way the men can subjugate these women. Imagine how mentally exhausted you'd be trying to compete with your daughter for your husband's affection. It happens in polygamy.<br /><br />Here's another thing that I can't remember if we've really answered yet....Does the AUB follow the teaching that sex can ONLY be used to procreate? If so, then realistically Kody was probably down to just Christine to sleep with if A) Meri is infertile B) Robyn is pregnant and C) I think Janelle is beyond the point of more children. I don't imagine this is happening, but I'm just curious if there are rules about this in AUB or not.<br /><br />Just thought of yet another point that someone mentioned above: In all the books written by escape wives (about FLDS of course, not AUB) the women write about how physical affection is completely discouraged between mothers and children. After Caroline Jessop escaped her husband she had to reteach herself how to hug her children. IMHO this illustrates yet again that men will use any technique necessary to control their families. If you were a 1 child in, oh let's say 17, and you never recieved physical affection then you'll most likely be mentally damaged enough as a female to be pushed in to a plural marriage where you also will not recieve affection. As a boy you'll be taught that your word is LITERALLY the word of god and you don't need a woman. She needs you! <br /><br />Ultimately even thougth the Brown's may be the best that polygamy has to offer the "outside world" I think we can still see that they are showing all the behaviors and mindsets that make their cult so dangerous to them as individuals and to our societ as a whole! I hope people who love the Brown's will just do their research and learn about the other side of the story!A Day Aheadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-37713923920560603682011-11-30T02:43:51.005-05:002011-11-30T02:43:51.005-05:00Oh my goodness I almost wish these posts weren'...Oh my goodness I almost wish these posts weren't being deleted so I could get a good chuckle. All the good stuff happens while I'm asleep!<br /><br />A lot of people made so many intelligent comments on polygamy and the image the Brown's present on their show. I recently read everything my library had to offer on the topic of fundamental Mormon polygamy (exactly 3.5 books, so it wasn't a huge undertaking) and from what I can tell the Brown's really may be the best of the bunch. It seems to be typical that a wife may work with the husband's approval, but all income will be directed to him. In many of these families the wives are given an "allowance" to spend even if they are working. That's one way the men exert their control. If she can't get any savings going because she has to buy groceries with her allowance she can't leave.<br /><br />Now I can't say I think that Mariah (Meri's daughter) might belong to Janelle biologically, but this is another fundamentalist trick; clearly children are important and help pave the way to godhood according to this belief system, so what happens when kids aren't happening because the man is infertile? Someone else will give you children is what! Like I said, I don't know if this happened for the Brown's but in the FLDS it's common practice. "Uncle Fred" Jessop was a very important Bishop within the FLDS community and he was unable to have children. So Uncle Fred's brother (Flora Jessop's father) just gave Uncle Fred some of his daughters. These women were forced to give up their daughters from birth and given them to another family to raise because Uncle Fred had to get in to heaven. Just like having "spiritual wives" the man just had spiritual kids, near 100 of them according to Flora Jessop's book. That's another way the men in these sects exercise complete control. "You...give me your baby, Uncle Fred needs it! You can just have another one!" What kind of intense emotional abuse is that?!?! Ultimately I think it's not out of the question that Kody could force his wives to share their biological children for the salvation of the other wife.A Day Aheadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-25845817284919468872011-11-30T01:18:51.497-05:002011-11-30T01:18:51.497-05:00L4J
