This post is my response to my fellow Mormon blogger, Clark’s post over at The Millennial Star. I originally was just going to respond in the comments; however, my comment grew to an entire post sized response, hence my response here. (more…)

LDS Volunteer Families In Texas for FLDS Children?
Posted by Guy Murray under FLDS, FLDS Texas Raid, Polygamy, Warren Jeffs | Tags: Add new tag |[39] Comments
Peggy Fletcher Stack, of the Salt Lake Tribune, who wrote today’s article, has indicated that she, and I assume she also means the Salt Lake Tribune are trying to find out if any LDS Mormon families in Texas have volunteered to be foster parents to the FLDS children. She asked me to post this question on the blog. You can contact Peggy at pstack at sltrib.com. Or, you can contact me at guy.murray at gmail.com.

The heartache and atrocities in Texas continue. From the Deseret News, another heart wrenching account by the abused FLDS mothers. I am simply dumb founded at what passes for justice, or even compassion in West Texas. (more…)

The Salt Lake Tribune and KSL news are now reporting that Texas authorities have forced the FLDS mothers and children who were together since the raid last week, involuntarily apart. KSL reports that the Texas CPS authorities apparently lied to the mothers and children claiming they would simply be moved to another shelter. Rather, they dropped the mothers back at the FLDS ranch, and they are now separated from their children: (more…)

Texas’ Abuse Of The FLDS Children And Mothers
Posted by Guy Murray under FLDS, FLDS Texas Raid, Polygamy, Warren Jeffs | Tags: FLDS, FLDS Texas Raid, Polygamy, Warren Jeffs |[54] Comments
(Update 4/14/08 4:45 p.m.) The Salt Lake Tribune reports that the Texas CPS in its ongoing abuse of the FLDS Mothers and children, has now separated all the mothers from their children! Does anyone involved in this operation have any media savvy, let alone compassion for these poor mothers and children?
If you haven’t seen Brooke Adams’ latest blog entry on the Plural Life about misconceptions of FLDS dress standards, please take a few minutes and read it. We can learn a few things here folks.
The most recent reports of the ill conceived Texas raid of the FLDS community near Eldorado Texas are more and more disturbing. The Deseret News has chronicled video interviews of several FLDS parents, whose children were kidnapped under color of law by Texas law enforcement in the recent raid. If you have not seen these videos, they are just heart wrenching and very powerful. I don’t know how to embed video, and I’m not sure these can be embedded as they belong to the Deseret News; however, I will provide the links below, and encourage you to view them for yourselves: (more…)

Texas, The Eyes Of The World Are Upon You

As the Texas raid on the FLDS community in Eldorado moves into its second week, Texas has generated worldwide media attention with its questionable tactics to investigate a child and sexual abuse complaint of one anonymous victim, by forcibly removing over 400 children from their homes, their mothers and their fathers. Yes, Texas, the eyes of the entire world now are upon you, and what you are doing.
Update 4/12/08 4:14 p.m. Texas Rangers Meet with alleged suspect: No Arrest.

Standing With Our FLDS Sisters and Brothers
Posted by Guy Murray under FLDS, FLDS Texas Raid, Freedom, Liberty, Polygamy, Warren Jeffs | Tags: FLDS, FLDS Texas Raid, Freedom, Liberty, Warren Jeffs |[185] Comments
As I have read the various comments on this story, I am struck by some who question why I, or others take the FLDS position, or support them, or seem sympathetic toward them. I have also read comments which I think express extremely well why I, from a Constitutional standpoint stand squarely with my FLDS Sisters and Brothers in Eldorado, Texas. I reproduce some of them below. While doing so do I do not mean to imply support by anyone for criminal conduct, but rather the preservation and protection of Constitutional Rights. Rights that are still afforded even the FLDS community. (more…)
