interesting story.

This is correct. When are folks going to stand up and listen. Run those cults out of America. They don't pay taxes anyway.

Friend, your comment could be correct and with that said, perhaps " drugs for ole geezers" could be the reason why they ran off so many young men ...

DO you mean Viagra or Cialis?

I can't believe the mo rons here who think 14 year olds should marry.
And these are celestial pairings. It's no different than the teen who becomes sexually active except they don't get to choose. The prophet or person designated puts the couples together by some supposedly divine revelation.

Maybe when you were dead at 30, not now that people are living to be 90 and above.

Hey, Hannah Rebekah, teacher of Islam, what do you think about the Islamic account of the conception and birth of the Messiah which differs greatly from the King's James Version.

Are these idiots on crack? You can barely get a 14 year old girl to make her bed and clean her room. Where in that heap of incompetence based largely on inexperience do these people see a woman responsible enough to be some man's wife and the mother of his kids? This is ruse is little more than a sophistocated form of pubescent sexual slavery at the pornographic child endangerment level. The perpetrators are all screaming for immediate prosecution.

Kids this age are sexually active nowadays. Give them someone to play house with and keep them off the street. At their parent's home all they learn to do is put on eye makeup. Maybe with a husband there is the possibility that they might learn to cook.

Who in the hell do you think you are? You got a problem with make up?
Why should kids know how to cook? Much less what do they need with a damned husband?
You are so stupid.

Most of what comes in from Cali is just to rattle the cage.

I do not see anything with kids learning to cook or sew if that interests them, but I don't think it is right to make them think that is all they are good for. They might have other talents. The idea is to make kids self-sufficient, bringing them along little by little, not deciding when they get their period that it's time to go visit the chapel and get wedded to either a 19 year old Moron with an 8th grade education or grandpa (got run over by a reindeer).

What you are saying is let the girls be raped by old men and that will keep them off the street. So I think they would feel so badly about what had happing to them. that all the war paint in the world would no cover their pain. When an adult has sex with a fourteen year old it's rape.

Yep. Rape is rape. They seem confident that they can intimidate or pay off witnesses. They must think they are the Sopranos or Gottis. The arrogance is appalling.
