Maybe her goal she wants accomplished is to learn to decorate cakes so she can open a bakery? She has said she loves to bake....

TLC Breaking The Faith - Biographies of the Cast

MARTHA, 18 years old
Martha struggles with the desire to be accepted by the church and her family, but longs to start a new life where major life choices—like whom or whether to marry —aren’'t decided for her. She fantasizes about going to college, and possibly becoming a detective.

ANGIE, 21 years old
Outspoken and frustrated by seeing families torn apart within the FLDS community, she watches as her father and two brothers leave the FLDS. She's eager to start a new chapter of her life – including having control over who and when she is able to date.

LINDA, 22 years old
A member of one of the most connected families in the community – her step father is close to church leader Warren Jeffs, Linda has been well cared for and highly protected. However, she's been dreaming of leaving the FLDS to join her father and eight siblings who have already left. In addition, she would like to pursue dance and choreography.

VAL, 20 years old
Considered to be a "struggling" member of the community, Val has been disciplined for acting out before, and has been moved around the community to try and keep her under control. Her brother and father have been kicked out of the FLDS, and her strong will is setting her on a path to follow them.

We are more than interested in this show. good or bad, it will be interesting to see. If it does sensationalize like Breaking Amish, we will be the ones to expose it for sure! I am hoping for the best since Sam Brower was involved. Not all productions are the same...only time will tell!

TLC - Breaking The Faith

From TLC - 

I've been taught my whole life that I would go to hell if I left, so I really do believe it...

BREAKING THE FAITH shares the story of eight young men and women who are trying to build a new life outside of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (known as the FLDS) – either by choice, or by force. For the young men known as “lost boys”, these cast-outs are looking for a fresh start after being kicked out of their homes. Meanwhile, the women are escaping the controlling ways of their faith – including arranged marriage and a life of complete submission, known as "keeping sweet" – hoping for a better life on the outside. Leaving a world where every decision was made for them, they are now dealing with the challenges of living in a reality where they are now responsible for every move they make. And, for this group, being faced with making life-altering choices in their effort to win their freedom comes with the fear that consequences for leaving the compound will come without warning.
We will be Watching Nov 24th

We haven't done tweets for awhile, and here is a ton of them! Thanks to Funky Town for gathering them for us!! Tomorrow I am having some minor surgery so hope to be back on later tomorrow or Thurs. Will be interesting to see what you think of all these - Some really cute pictures. Happy Reading!
I wonder what???


Beautiful photo of homecoming (maybe?) goes with this tweet. It's Instagram so I think you'll have to download it?












Several tweets follow Meri's about the apron, but she doesn't bother to answer anyone:





Soon? Shouldn't it have been up there in maybe August or September?












It's MY design - haha!

Oh the irony that Mary retweeted this:

Polygamy's Extreme Dual Standards part 2 with Kristyn Decker

Rebecca Kimbel talks with Kristyn Decker about the extreme dual standards in polygamy, where men live a life style every day that is increasingly better than that of their wives, where women are held responsible for that which they have no control over and where a wife's value is based on her willingness to martyr her emotions, desires and dreams for acceptance in eternity and survival in everyday life.
