...I agree on the religious aspects discussed above.<br /><br />Just imagine if Christine decides she wants to leave. How does she get away? She has a checking account now, but who puts money in it? I think the $5,000 down payment wasn't just sitting in Christine's account, it was transferred just for the show. I think she is on a tight budget, controlled by Kody.<br /><br />So she tells Kody she is leaving him and filing for child support. She will no longer get money in her checking account. Rent, utilities will be due, ect. Each sister wife will visit and tell her how stupid she is, say she just needs time with Kody, ect. <br /><br />Does she tell her kids they can't go over to Meri's or Janelle's house? The older kids will know what is happening. Some women can put their kids in a car and go to their mom's house or sisters while they start divorce proceedings (which I realize she doesn't need but does need court order to get child support.) I don't think Christine has anyone to give her that kind of support.drdawnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-30768544760388931922012-12-21T16:41:49.978-05:002012-12-21T16:41:49.978-05:00Amen to everything you said, Mister Sister!

If they return to Utah and keep flaunting themselves, the prosecutor might decide to uncover some info that was previously overlooked or unknown. <br /><br />Remember the polygamist Tom Green? He was warned repeatedly by authorities to stop flaunting his polygamy on television, yet he continued, and the authorities eventually charged him with defrauding the welfare system ("criminal non-support") and statutory rape. Chances are, Utah knew about both issues long before they nailed him in 2001-2002. He was making the rounds on talk shows in the early 1990s and it was obvious then that his wives were younger than he claimed, and their financial status was questionable.Magic Undiesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-34429426771353942032012-12-21T16:20:51.809-05:002012-12-21T16:20:51.809-05:00We should not insult dog turdsWe should not insult dog turdsPaw Printnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-7182258386715944062012-12-21T16:19:27.724-05:002012-12-21T16:19:27.724-05:00This might put in perspective how much the Browns ...This might put in perspective how much the Browns are probably making. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/27/honey-boo-boo-salary_n_1919841.html<br />Honey BooBoo, who probably has better ratings than SW, is only pulling $2-$4K an episode.

I thought FINALLY we are going to talk about the real problems with the way these people are living and how the wives' pretty differences, i.e, sharing a kitchen is "abusive" and Kody's need for attention (being on this show which resulted in them moving to Vegas) has resulted in the wives essentially being single moms. But instead of addressing such a hard hitting topic, the producers just gloss over it by sticking the couch segment literally in the LAST minute of the show then immediately cutting to next week's plotline. WTF? I guess the producers are just as content to ignore the Browns' real problems as the Browns are. Oh well, seriously missed opportunity for some real discussion. I guess it was more important to watch them bury their dog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-27991555691584933402012-12-21T16:04:17.727-05:002012-12-21T16:04:17.727-05:00Love this blog!

Technically, they are running a major financial loss each year. No "income" - only losses to report. So they also get back at the end of the year ANY taxes which might have been withheld. Plus, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn (as "single mothers") qualify as Head of Household and get HUGE refunds - more than they ever paid in. Then we get into the "Earned Income Credit." <br /><br />It's sad to think that some people will take advantage of the system ("us") so unashamedly.<br /> AZChristiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-66201802461905607712012-12-21T15:31:35.638-05:002012-12-21T15:31:35.638-05:00I wish I lived in Vegas, I want to throw a party a...I wish I lived in Vegas, I want to throw a party and have them come!!!

(even Kody and Janelle in their childhood mainstream mormonism.) Religious indoctrination of these beliefs is a true mindf**k to deprogram from and most generally requires professional help as well as a lot of work and time to overcome it all. Especially when you became so invested in it like these people. That's why the younger the better - like Kollene and those other kids getting out before marriages and babies added to it all. <br /><br />Anyway - yes, these women STILL have the belief system required to live polygamy and are just "enduring to the end" as also taught for the most part. It's supposedly supposed to all be worth it when they're queens and priestesses w/Kody on their own planet for eternity.
