Yes, i feel Part2 Pictures and NatGeo did an honest job with the television show about this community. yet, there is so much more that could have been shown. the logistics of doing the show's pre-production was enormous and Rose spoke about it in church on one episode. I was in church that day to hear her. I also know from experience there were days when my children couldnt go and play with theirs because of filming. i will estimate that each family was filmed about 16hrs. each for 4 months including Hyrum. thats 264hrs. of filming the production crew did as a whole for the television show. 6 one-hour episodes do not show everything. by living here, i do not have the assumptions that others have by watching the show. all i was doing was giving a friendly reminder to all.rainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06788193197673158196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-41741007680976697232013-06-24T11:27:48.269-04:002013-06-24T11:27:48.269-04:00Arthur is totally awesome.

The one we see on the show, with the black and grey hair, is his third wife. His fourth wife was married to his brother, but he died. She is now married to Arthur but only briefly appears in the background of some of the clips on the show. She is around the same age as his first wife.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-85353312812572016522013-06-12T09:38:18.329-04:002013-06-12T09:38:18.329-04:00I just finished watching tthid weeks show and I ha...I just finished watching tthid weeks show and I have to say the more I listen to Arthur the more I really like him! He seems like a very wise man, respectful husband and a loving father. He doesn't seem much different than other 64 yr old men. I wouldn't mind at all having him for a dad! I loved his last line regarding Ezra, "all I can do is pray".<br /><br />Michael Cawley still seems a bit bizarre and I still stand by the point if you can't afford more kids then don't have them. I feel that way in general, not specific to polygamy. I can't imagine setting up shipping creights as bedrooms and will be anxious to see how they spruce them up! I was proud of Rose for standing up to him initially. And even later when she said she thought this was a great idea I got a feeling she still thought it was ridiculous! I seriously hope he doesn't think it's still a good idea to have 7 wives and approximately 50 kids. Ridiculous! <br /><br />Hyrum is a typical 22 yr old in many ways but I love the fact that he feels responsibility for his wife and eventual family. Being an independent woman I certainly don't feel women should sit home but it's very nice to hear a husband feels responsible to take care of his family. His wife seems nervous and immature and not quite mature enough to be a wife. I guess they can grow up together. And they seem very committed<br /><br />Ezra is trying to work and make his way. Thats a heck of a lot more than most young men today who feel entitled and don't want to issues and frustrations. <br /><br />I really enjoy this show. I wish Arthur would get his own show. Not my way of life but I have more respect for the religion after watching this show. Sister wives did not provide any insight to anything other than a narcissistic man and 4 women who have low self esteem that cater to him.ccook17https://www.blogger.com/profile/17930734462672858262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-68357120942095127912013-06-12T07:50:32.615-04:002013-06-12T07:50:32.615-04:00It's been awhile since I viewed his page but I...It's been awhile since I viewed his page but I recall a few of the post as I found them to be in poor taste and very immature. I think there was something along the lines of "gays are gross, but lesbians are nice and if you don't agree you can go to the toilet on yourself." Something about how yum/nice whisky is and another about cooking midgets.

Would you care to elaborate? <br /><br />Large homes are usually wanted by most; for me it's not an east coast/west coast thing - but more likely simply that your families are much larger than most families in the east. Not many of us have more than 8-10 tops in a household. And 10 is pushing it! <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <br />Mister Sisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01026116196375975580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-77148606696224111122013-06-11T22:43:22.497-04:002013-06-11T22:43:22.497-04:00Here in Centennial Park, we do take care of our pe...Here in Centennial Park, we do take care of our people and create resourses to do so. The Cawley's story is real and they are not on government assistance like what is assumed. If they were, why did Connie have to go back to work as a substitute teacher? She wouldnt because government assistance would help cover a good portion of the $1000 with food. There are not as many millionaires here as you are assuming. Just because there are 'McMansions' (as its been termed here) doesnt equal millionaires; most of them have been created through hard work. I know for a fact the houses you have been shown in pictures here have taken over 5 years to completely finish inside and out. Ive seen 'McMansions' in all the places I have lived out west. Large houses are more of a western thing than an east coast thing. East Coasters think of yard first over house size. Families here understand finite resources as well. I totally got how Rose didnt want to ask Michael for applesauce because of the finite resources for food. <br /><br />Yes, those that live here want it decriminalized. We have the Centennial Park Action Committee (CPAC) working with state agencies, going to conferences to get their message out. Shouldnt consenting adults be able to chose how they live? The Browns themselves have taken on the State of Utah concerning bigamy which is another first step. I do find it unfortunate that they chose to leave the state of Utah, their home. I would have liked to have seen them stand their ground, but thats a whole other thread for me.<br /><br />As stated: "They will showcase certain families so that outsiders will think, hey, they have the same problems we do...they are JUST LIKE US. Problem is, they are not like us and never will be." Its not a problem that we will never be like anyone else. We are a community of like-minded people who have chosen to live the gospel, edify one another, and work through experiences to get back to our Father in Heaven. But do families here have the similar financial issues, child care issues, and children figuring themselves out? Yes, of course because its called life. Hellen Keller once said "Life is but a daring adventure or nothing at all." She was one wise women to know that.<br /><br />I sure pray that people will not buy into the hype created by editing for television and realizes that chosing to live polygamy is more than what they see on NatGeo or TLC. rainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06788193197673158196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-63308032782432245242013-06-11T18:57:52.771-04:002013-06-11T18:57:52.771-04:00Actually, Centennial Park has more monogamous fami...Actually, Centennial Park has more monogamous families than polygamous families right now. Not everyone here is blessed with multiple wives. Personally, I do not know much about Tiffany or her family except that they has been living in town here for about 2 years now and the children attended school here. I am assuming Tiffany's view may be that they 'non-religious' because they didnt attend church often. Or as with any production, what she said may have been taken out of context.rainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06788193197673158196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-50606713815650438172013-06-08T00:43:44.746-04:002013-06-08T00:43:44.746-04:00The Cawley family does not use food stamps or gove...The Cawley family does not use food stamps or government assistance at all.

The Timpsons own businesses, Arthur Hammon has stated on the show he has a contracting business, others like the Darger's father in law have extensive real estate holdings and are extremely wealthy. Polygamy USA does not even show the MANSIONS that exist or the affluence. The audience only sees Art Hammon's mess of a house. There's a lot more to the polygamist living in Centennial Park than the viewing public are shown. Those men in the council of brethren want to remain hidden for a reason, if the public knew their mortgage company was owned by a polygamist, his business might suffer. And they are the force behind decriminalization. <br /><br />Their religion teaches them they are superior to the rest of the world. If you watch carefully, you can see this attitude when Teresa Cawley speaks. And don't cry for Hyrum, how many houses have a vaulted ceiling exercise room? I don't think his father will let him or his eventual wives starve.

He spent 6 months interviewing folks in CP. Sounded like Uncle Arthur and the Cawleys were some of the interviewees. The fellow that sounded like Uncle Arthur had children ranging from age 45 to age 2. He was married for 20 years to just one woman, who had 12 children and then the 2nd wife arrived to produce 8 more. The thesis gives a more involved look at life and religious reasoning in CP than the reality show but I do like seeing the folks interact--even if it is quite scripted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-11187079359060081082013-06-02T19:13:29.483-04:002013-06-02T19:13:29.483-04:00He is only 18.
