Evening, all
A kind-hearted poster pm'd me and advised the vote & SS status (etc) of this cult. I'm shocked! (Tku v m: so sweet of you; have not been able to read every post :blowkiss: )
Ugh. This growing story is getting too much for me. I've been tears through utter confusion. How can the FLDS carbon-copy humans that are devoid of emotion, love and the *understanding* of natural bonding?!!! How can babies & children be forced to endure this horrific lifestyle???
Last night (it's gone noon, Wed where I am) we had a documentary on the food crisis in Africa / worldwide. It was a painful vision. Little, tiny, malnourished babies toddlers and kiddies running up to reporters (
not running away) with desperate hope in their heart amid faint smiles of joy (that beat my heart up). Older children staying with them ... and (normal) parents close-by. Such desperate communities.
And I could *only* think to myself: "Oh dear GOD! Thank-you for at least giving these tragic people the gift of knowing real love in their harsh lifetime. The picture of one plate, empty, in a toddler's hands, offering his mother something that looked like A PEA... will
never leave me. To see people in their [normal] family units - mom, dad and their starving flock, huddled together and ... waiting for ? Oh Lord.
Why on Earth am I so lucky? Despite my now selfishly perceived silly woes, I have more. I have car-keys, hot/cold water on tap, light bulbs ... to the Internet and even the immense choice to yawn leisurely and consider the OPTION of when to flop onto my private bed.
These things are closely budgeted, sure ... but we HAVE love and a normal-range living and, but for God, a tomorrow to repeat the gift of life.
For those hungry the world over, heck (sniffing a bit here - wow) they also have some kind of love that's real to them. What they hope for after the simplicity of love: a little more food that
week on a shared tin disc for a plate. "Mother Nature's Famine" ... I'm finished

Yes, the FLDS give food. But they steal the love out of babies before the cherished little soul even swallows for the first time. Man-made.
Oh.... my ... God. Which could be worse? Sorry ... this awful dichotomy has surely caught me big time.
