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.

"Sister Wives" Review: "Sister Wives On the Ropes" Ed Kociela
**Trying a different COMMENT way - instead of a bunch of posts, once you have read all the comments here, click the link at the bottom of this post and go directly to comment area two!
Ed Kociela, author of 'Plygs' wrote our review this week!!!!!
It’s been three days since I watched the latest episode of “Sister Wives.” I hope, in time, my stomach will stop churning. I must admit, I am not a fan of reality TV. Give me a good old-fashioned dose of “unreality” TV any day of the week, like a rerun of “Seinfeld,” or “House,” or “Everybody Loves Raymond” (thank God for DVDs!)
"The
Real World?" According to whom? It certainly doesn't resemble the world I
live in. And "The Apprentice?" Can't the American viewing public fire
Donald Trump?
Yeah, Sunday’s episode was that bad.
It did little good for the credibility of TLC, the network
that broadcasts
the show, to have it fall within 48 hours of the outstanding
two-hour presentation NBC broadcast on “Dateline,” where newsman Keith Morrison
explored the world of fundamental Mormon polygamy through the eyes of escaped
polygamist Rebecca Musser. It was a news broadcast that lived up to the depth
and integrity of a long-standing, well-respected news-gathering institution.
TLC, which was once known as The Learning Channel, on the
other hand, is a lesson on just how far the media in the United States has
slipped.
Production values for the show were minimal. The camera was
unfocused, so badly that it wouldn’t even qualify as bad French noire
cinematography.
The editing was sloppy, making the cut-and-pasted segments flow with all the
grace of a tree branch bouncing in the current of a flash flood. The actors in
this vignette were poorly equipped to carry through with the obviously scripted
bits handed them by the show’s producers.
<<<Robyn caught "Chomping at the Lip" again.
And therein lies the greatest problem with the show.
And therein lies the greatest problem with the show.
I spoke with Kristyn Decker, an escapee from the shackles of
polygamy
herself, about what it was like to participate in the most current
episode of the show.
I gather it was akin to a cliff diver stepping off his perch
only to find that the tide was out and he was doing a nose dive into the rocks.
Would Kristyn, given the opportunity or the foresight of
what would occur, do it again?
“No way,” this soft-spoken refugee from one of Utah’s
polygamous cults told me. “I was told we would be able to give our views, our
perspectives…I feel totally betrayed.”
And that, I am ashamed to say, is how I feel about the media
today. I write a weekly column for a Southern Utah newszine called
“STGnews,”
but before that, I worked extensively in the media world as a newspaperman for
the Herald-Examiner, once a major daily newspaper in Los Angeles, and at The
Spectrum, a daily newspaper in St. George, Utah about 40 minutes from where
Warren Jeffs and his FLDS bunch set up camp in the twin cities of Hildale, Utah
and Colorado City, Arizona, along the border in a remote spot in the desert.
I left that behind several years ago, packed it in and
hauled it down to Mexico with my wife Cara, to write my first book, a
journalistic novel called “plygs.” We were gone for a year and a half. During
that time, we collected our news from a variety of sources other than the local
and national U.S. agencies. It was an eye-opener.
We’re here in the U.S. for the time being, doing some PR and
promo work for “plygs” and my new book, “It Rocked! (Recollections of a
reclusive rock critic.)” Since we’ve been back, I have been stunned by how much
the media has changed. It is advertiser driven, contrived, geared more toward titillation
than, well, truth.
There were moments that, as I watched, seemed totally
contrived, particularly those surrounding the panel discussion held at the
University of Nevada, Las Vegas facility that pitted Kody Brown and his wives
against former polygamist colony members Kristyn, Kollene Snow, Willie Steed,
and Christine Katas.
The bathroom scene where Christine feigned fear of a
confrontation with Kristyn just before the panel met that required sister wife
intervention to escort her from the toilet because her aunt was standing
outside?
“That was ridiculous, I was just waiting to use the
bathroom,” Kristyn told me. “I really needed to go to the bathroom, then fix my
hair and get ready for the panel.”
She said she was really concerned, at the time, that
something was wrong with her niece, Christine.
“I thought she had a (physical) problem of some kind and I
really felt sorry for her,” Kristyn said.
Robyn giggling saving Christine
Assessment?
The fear factor instilled in Christine came from the
producer, not Kristyn’s presence. To have them smile and greet each other
warmly would just not be good TV. A
little TLC - influenced drama spiced the scene up.
There was the moment of the episode when Robyn looked at her
phone
and said somebody texted that Kody was a misogynist pig.
Sorry, the timing was just too perfect. Had it been real,
wouldn’t she have mentioned who sent the text?
“They tried to make it look like one of us sent a nasty note
like that,” Kristyn told me. “Then he (Kody) says the biggest adversaries in
his life are the ones who left polygamy.”
To have my suspicions confirmed inflamed my sense of
fairness. It also saddened my sense of loyalty to a media I have served
faithfully for my entire writing career, which stretches back to when I was a
15-year-old hanging out at the offices of the small daily newspaper that served
my southern California community, wanting to learn all I could about being a
newsman.
The truth, as occurs so often these days, became a casualty in
the pursuit of viewership and ratings. Fairness? Credibility? Out the window.
“Sister Wives” leaves us with more questions than answers.
It’s vague, misleading, especially when they get around to
defining it as a lifestyle choice rather than religious mandate, but I guess as
long as the group the Brown family is affiliated with gets its 10 percent
tithing, everything’s OK.
5th Beatle Wanna-Be or heading to "Breaking Amish?"
Me?
I’d really like to know what happens after they turn off the
cameras.
I’ve seen some personality traits in Kody Brown that are
alarming, his flashes of temper, his immaturity, his angry eyes, his domineering
Alpha male personality. He doesn’t seem a likeable guy. At least not to me.
The women?
There doesn’t seem to be much going on behind their eyes.
They always look as if they have something else they would rather say than what
tumbles out of their mouths.
Are they happy?
I think Kristyn nailed it when she told me: “I used
to be
there. You have to sedate your feelings with food or become a workaholic…whatever
it takes to stay happy in a polygamous relationship.
“My mother taught me how to be miserably happy.”
Sedation by bathroom affirmations?
Me?
Well, as far as reality TV goes, about all I am willing to
deal with at this point is “Pawn Stars.”At least Chumlee seems to be having fun.

"Sister Wives" Willy Steed's View of the UNLV Panel
This is an amazing young man Willy Steed.
A story waiting to be told.
Willy went to discuss the issues of polygamy with the members of the UNLV discussion. He was not happy when his story and answers left on
the cutting room floor. He does
realize this is the Brown's show and can respect that.
Also below are the clips below from Willy's 20/20 interview right after his departure from the FLDS. If you liked last week's with Rebecca Musser, once again you'll be invested in this story. Much has changed in the short year since it's premire.

"Sister Wives" Christine Marie and her thoughts about the UNLV Panel with "Kody Brown Family"
“Painting
Us With Their Experience?”
That’s
the name of the episode. It’s not true though. This was
the theme of Kody’s comments – that we were painting them with a
broad brush (generalizing all polygamy to be abusive.) This was
handy, but we didn’t do that. I don’t believe that Kody
physically abuses his wives or children. I think their family
is unique, and quite frankly, special.
But
it is not true that I projected my experience onto them. In
fact, that is the very reason that I brought up research. And
in case I was challenged on the validity of it, I had packed a huge
stack of peer-reviewed research and brought it along. Kody
repeatedly argued that I was “painting with broad strokes,”
meaning that I was wrongly labeling all polygamy harmful. I said it
was NOT “broad strokes.” I gave specifics.
I
explained how the Canadian government was so liberal, they legalized
same-sex marriage in 2004, and they legalized prostitution in 2012,
but when the Supreme Court of British Columbia sought to overturn the
ban on polygamy, after reviewing “the most comprehensive judicial
record on polygamy ever produced in the history of the world,”
Chief Justice Bauman declared that there was inherently too much harm
to justify legalizing polygamy.
This
had nothing to do with me projecting my own bad experience onto
them. It had nothing to do with me at all. Or them. These
are just facts.
Embracing?
At
the debate the Brown’s said being open and embracing of those
families who want to live polygamy will result in these families
feeling less likely to separate themselves into their own isolated
communities.
Kody
explained that their family should not be treated like criminals just
because other men in polygamy have abused their wives and children.
We get this. Kody said they should have the right to live as
they wish as long as they are not hurting anyone. We get this
too. But laws are not made for the exceptions.
And
most families in polygamy are not like them.
Kody’s
rationale was that if all families could be allowed to live polygamy
openly and publicly without fear, people would not retreat into
isolated groups and there would be less abuse. (Will get to this in a moment)
Rejected,
Ouch! BROWNS REFUSE Photo session and Visit! 
After
the debate, I was hoping to invite the women of the Brown family to
come to our Las Vegas studio for a super-fun, creative photo shoot,
something that would have been modest, retro and positive, but
Christine Brown immediately rejected my offer. Without
hesitating she said something like, “No I don’t think so, we’re
just on two different tracks.”
FYI
– My husband is fashion photographer Tolga
Katas.
He has a waiting list of magazines and women who want his photos or
dream of being photographed by him. I was surprised and
confused by Christine Brown’s response, so I tried to
clarify.
“You
mean you can’t have a photo shoot done by someone who has different
beliefs from you?”
In
my happy world, people can have different views and beliefs and still
be friends. That’s freedom.
Christine
fumbled for words and it was a really uncomfortable moment for me.
I even blushed, looked at the camera guys filming me and said, “Well,
that was awkward.” I felt like I was in junior high, and a group of
girls rejected my invitation to be friends because I didn’t have
the same beliefs or skin color.
What
Went Wrong?
Then
questions and realizations started washing over me in waves – like
maybe Christine Brown saw me as an enemy, or someone who threatened
her “lifestyle.” (After all, I am an abolitionist.
Among other things, I actively try to help lawmakers realize how
certain religious leaders employ psychological terrorism to benefit
themselves, and how religion can be used as a tool of human
trafficking. )
Or
maybe their prophet or Bishop or Kody told the wives in advance that
associating with this particular non-believer was off limits.
Or maybe I was just too evil.
But
here’s what I realized. The moment Christine Brown shut the
door to my offer, the Brown’s entire argument about how
decriminalizing polygamy would create an openness & transparency
that would stop isolation & abuse from happening – just flew
out the window, fell to the ground and buried its head in the mud.
They want the world to be open and embracing of them, but they don’t
return the favor for people who are different.
I
wanted to be friends. My door is still open. If their
answer remains a big fat “NO THANK YOU,” it’s no big deal
for me.
But
they also slammed the door on associating with Kristyn Decker, their
own family member, for the same reason. Something
in the Brown’s religious
What Their Group Believes.
The
elect and chosen people of God must associate with others like them.
Whites and blacks cannot intermarry. Gay marriage is forbidden,
there are different rules for men and for women, and the list of
policies and restrictions goes on. It’s so very legalistic, I
can’t help but worry about them. Christ was about loving and
forgiving one another. Perfect love casteth out all fear,
remember? Yet while we were getting ready for the debate, we
were told we had to enter the building at a different time and
through a different door so the Brown’s didn’t have to see us.
Christine Brown wouldn’t come out of the bathroom for ages because
she didn’t want to see Kristyn. Kristyn was filled with
excitement, hope, anticipation and good will at the thought of seeing
and hugging her neice Christine. But it seemed as if Christine
Brown and family were filled with a fear of her own making.
Like
they wanted to drum up a reason to feel attacked. But there was
no antagonism or attacking going on, at least from our end.
There was no hatred, no name-calling, only love and hope and offers
for friendship. The Brown’s saw the world from a false reality.
All four of us wanted to go to dinner with them afterward. We
were open and embracing. The Brown’s misjudged us and rejected us,
not the other way around.
Is
Fear Really Freedom?
The
Brown family is unique, but even they have their walls of fear.
Legalizing polygamy will not change this. Nothing will stop
true believers from isolating themselves, or gathering the righteous,
like-minded people together so they can better follow their religion.
But
if the Browns, (the best example of living patriarchal polygamy on
the planet), do so because they are indoctrinated by a religion that
requires it, remember that it is this same religious mindset that
calls for them to shun the disillusioned members, separate themselves
from those who have a crisis of faith, cover their ears and discredit
former members when they speak about their painful truths, and
demonize those who question their way of life.
It’s
the epitome of kicking a person when they are down, pouring salt in a
wound or adding insult to injury – multiplied by the former value
of your soul. When the members of the AUB or other polygamist
sects abide by this policy of shunning wounded defectors, then all
members are aware of the painful consequences that they too might
face if they do not tow the line, or if they maintain a loving
relationship with someone who is speaking out about their own bad
experience.
That
must be a terrifying thought to the members of the sect, hence,
people like sweet, mild-mannered Kristyn Decker become reframed as
people to fear. And families like the Browns create their own
victimization in their own minds. This limits their choices.
Is
that freedom? What
is the real rationale for shunning Kristyn from the extended family
she loves so much? Those
Brown women may be happy, and I think they are extraordinary
women, but they are indoctrinated, as I once was and I
hardly consider them free.
I
credit and honor these women for all the things they do so very well,
for raising incredible children, for being kind to one another no
matter how difficult it is, for trying to make a difference in the
world in their own way.
But
let’s call a spade a spade. Religiously-mandated polygamy is
a tool of manipulation and in most cases, it’s harmful. Most
families are not like the Browns. And
laws are made for the majority, not the exception.
That’s
my two cents. - Christine Marie
