REID CALLS FOR FEDERAL TASK FORCE TO INVESTIGATE CHILD ABUSE AND POLYGAMY

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Harry Reid of Nevada sent a letter today to U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales suggesting the creation of a federal task force to investigate the interstate activity of the polygamist community in the western United States. In addition, Reid asked the Justice Department to provide any necessary assistance to state prosecutors in the case of polygamist sect leader Warren Steed Jeffs.

fear not death, for all men die. fear not life for all men live. but it is written, "Fear to offend God, for in Jesus and obedience to his laws are the way to eternal life. For the word Mormon means more good. and in the teachings of the book it is written, We believe in being honest, true, Chaste, benevolent, and in doing good to all men......take this away and you have ceased to be a Mormon. death to a rightouse person is but a glorified walk into heaven; but oh how tragic is the walk of an evil man.

Is Reid up for re-election? I didn't think he was this year. This may be an attempt to stay one step ahead of the opposition to show that he has a handle on the events in his district. It will be interesting to see how far he pushes for an actual investigation. I think this is just insurance against this being an issue in the future. Now he can blame any inaction on the Justice Department.

That still holds true today.

The Lord said that He would fight the battles of an obedient people.

Obedient to whom?

According to whose Bible?

The Attorney General should pursue FLDS and the UEP trust with the RICO statutes. Warren Jeffs is a pedophile, anyone that assisted or financed him is a pedophile. In my opinion, anyone over 21, that has sex with someone UNDER 21 is a pedophile. Attorney General Gonzales should confiscate all assets held by UEP trust and all personal property owned by FLDS male members suspected of having multiple wives.

the question has been asked about obedience from the begining of time; the answer...obedience to the principles of the gospel. the law of christ.

There was a dateline NBC on last night about a girl age 23, Debra LaFave, who had sex with a 14 year old boy. She is considered a 'sexual offender'. Her sentence was house arrest 3 years, probation another 7, she thinks she should be in jail. See a poll of over 13,000 weighing in on wether her punishment fit the crime.

Personally, I think the poll wasn't written well.

The question - Did the punishment fit the crime?

'yes it did'
'no, it did not'

Technically if you answer 'no, it did not' - you could mean two completely different things.

1. the punishment was too harsh
2. the punishment wasn't harsh enough

I think they meant 'no,it did not' to mean - that punishment wasn't harsh enough - she should have been punished harder (I watched the interview, and that was the gist of the questions). But, they didn't write it that way - so I don't think the results mean anything.

But, I point this out because I want the FLDS to realize that the US takes having sex with kids very serious - even if your a cute blonde 23 year old, and the boy 'wanted' it. It's not an FLDS issue.

Anonymous said...

Interesting example Atar_i. Although LeFave's case is entirely relevent to the case at hand, I feel that Warren's case will be handled a bit differently.

A 23 year old woman has sex with a 14 year old boy, the punishment is 3 years house arrest, 7 years probation..........
and you say "the US takes having sex with kids very serious"????

What? Do you really consider 3 years of house arrest "taking the issue seriously?

Given your logic in relation to the Debra LaFave case, if Warren Jeffs receives 6 years of house arrest from his two rape as accomplice charges, justice is served.

I would have thought that your punishment would have been a bit harsher.

We'll see if his punishment is in any way comparable to LeFave's.

That will provide us with an insight as to whether Warren's case is an "FLDS issue".

ATAR_i said...

Actually, I voted that her punishment wasn't harsh enough. I think they were lenient on her because she was attractive, young, and told everyone she was wrong and she shouldn't have done it.

While I'm glad she admits she was wrong, I don't think her sentence was equitable to similar cases.

Mary Kay Letorneau's sentence was quite a bit harsher. She lost all of her children, and went to prison for years. When she came out, she didn't change and was caught with Villi again - her punishment was even harsher after than the first time.

So, the circumstances were somewhat similar, an adult female with a child, however, the sentences were quite different. I suppose you have to take into account evidence, defense attorney skill, prosecutor skill, the judge, and a bunch of other variables. But from the outside looking in - her punishment seemed appropriate - and LaFaves didn't.

I was just pointing out a case in the news to dispell the notion that the only reason they are coming after your men is religious.

I'm actually suprised that it went on for so long without any attention. I honestly think the attention on adult/child sex is good, I think it was starting to be a common pattern, and it needed to stop.

Adults having sex with kids is not good, it's never good. If someone wants to argue that it happened at some point in history therefore it's ok - that argument is easily countered.

People wore loin clothes, burned people at the stake, bathed once a year, had slaves, and any number of other common practices. The bottom line is - it's not common practice, nor is it legal NOW. It's not because someone is singling you out - it's because sex with children is happening - and people won't ignore it once they learn of it.

and in peonix in the news there was a raid on a house of prostitutes who did force young girls into this horrible pratice and there was only a slight thing about it on the news. You people are hypocrits. Why not clean up your own city's. and your own minds. Because Warren Jeffs is inacent of sin.

muggsey said...

Saying that the boy was interested is a cop out. Having been, at one time, a thirteen-fourteen year old boy it took absolutely no effort for a pretty female to make me interested. That reaction is as normal as breathing. At thirteen your hormones have gone absolutely nuts. I would have probably been too embarrassed by my 'physical' condition, created by attention from as pretty a woman as Debra LaFave to perform well but, recuperative power is pretty strong at that age!

And to think that I, at thirteen, could have that kind of impact on a woman of 23!!!!!! Wow!!!!! it wouldn't take too much encouragement. I'm not saying I would engage in the activity, I'd just be excited by the prospect.

I am just being honest about me, I don't know about you, nor would I hazard a guess. All I can say is that from the guys I grew up with, my thoughts would be considered about normal

"Your" is not the correct term, I have never indicated that I am, have been, or ever will be FLDS. Don't assume too much.

muggsey said...

vukhdTo state that the sexual interest of a thirteen year old boy is license for an adult to seduce, any boy, is to me a form of sexual abuse by the adult.

The sex of the child is immaterial. Adults who seduce adolescent boys or girls are in effect child molesters and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Just because the perpetrator is female and pretty is no excuse. If a male is adjudicated guilty for an act against an under aged girl then the same judgement should be rendered against any female who would purposfully engage in that same activity with an under aged boy. They should both be subject to the same strict rules of sentencing.

To say that the boy is not affected in the same way as the girl is obvious. She may loose her maidenhead, a somewhat painful and unforgetful experience. She too may become pregnant as the result of the act.

Affect upon the boy is more difficult to determine. Since he, in all probability, will carry nothing but the possibility of contracting a STD from contact with the woman, lifetime affect is impossible to measure.

The real issue is that if the boy in question had not yet reached puberty would have the woman been interested in him sexually? I doubt it. How would the pre-pubescent boy view the sexual overtures by the older female? He would be confused. His hormones have not begun their dynamic effect upon the boy's libido.

The opposite is true with the boy who has attained puberty and therein lies the challenge.

Were this thirteen old boy to make overtures to his thirteen year old neighborhood girl both he and the girl, if caught, would face the wrath of their parents, be forbidden to see each other again etc. If the activity was not discovered it might continue for a while uninhibited. The consequences in all probability would have less effect on either of them than would occur if they were seduced my a mature adult. They both might remember the incident(s) as a happy learning experience.

The mature adult is responsible to guard his/her passion in order to protect the innocence and chastity of the young. To do otherwise is barbaric.

Who said that a young person had to be 18 before they could be mature enough to make decisions?

The Lord did not say this.

This is a law of man, NOT GOD. Are we not ALL GOD'S Children? We certenly did not create ourselves. Than we should be following HIS laws, NOT man's laws.

So what if a young aduld get's married before they turn 18, It should be their choice, NOT A BUNCH OF STRANGERS WHO THINK THEY KNOW BETTER.

If it is not specifically addressed to you 'anon 2:53' (for example - that's a made up time) - it's not specifically for you - so don't assume so much.

Mugs - If you'll notice the 'wanted it' parts was in quotes.

7:57, It didn't make big news, or was nothing done about it? Those are two very different things.

I am not a hypocrite. I have a value that sex with children is wrong (this also happens to be the law). This is not pretend, and my private and public life reflect this.

But no matter what I say to you, you always spew hatred from your mouth.

I hope warrens love is worth the sacrifice of your own tongue.

"This Has Got To Stop" is a spoof well taken. We monogamists have had the tables turned. I was not at all devistated by the claims of the blog. The only problem is that the claims are so general one would believe that ALL monogamists practiced the same acts that polygamists are accused of doing. I suspect that these statements bear some truth. Unlike the polygamists I am willing to admit that I live in an imperfect society. I do what I can to correct the errors as I am able to address them. Do you do the same?

Muggs makes a good point. There are those in the FLDS that are in denial about what is wrong. The teachings of Christ about casting the first stone need to be applied to all of us. At the same time should we let all the criminals go free because the rest of us are not perfect? I don't think so.

Hey sport, this law (of 18 year old maturity) may not suit you, but it is the law of the land in America. If you don't like this law, then simply leave America and go find a country that has a law that suits you.

You are certainly free to go. If you decide to stay, then you must abide by the laws of the land, or risk being arrested, prosecuted and spend time in jail.

Hey, it's your choice. Do what you want to do. Isn't freedom in America GREAT?!?

you must remember atari; the bible is an account of a people. in its pages are a record of what God did with the faithful and the unfaithful. what was it they was faithful or unfaithful too. in the bible is the ten comandments. if you follow this law and having no other law that you made a covnant to obey; God will smile favorable upon you. there are no deciet in the gospel. there are basic principles written upon its pages. but read the writings of James carefully. for in it he did ask of God. and there are some honest hearted people left upon the earth. so if you honestly seek; ask of God. read your own bible. and ask him who you should obey. for the law of Christ is also very simple.

muggsey said...

Read Hebrews from several translations, starting and finishing with the King James version, if that is your desire. The entire book shows the shortcomings of the law and the sacrifices made of man for deliverance from the penalty of the law. A better and more perfect reconcilliation is provided in the perfect person of Jesus, the Christ, who came in human form, lived and taught a fulfilled and completed law and then provided the supreme sacrifice in atonement of man's sin forever. The law was imperfect, God's sacrifice was perfect and Jesus' victory over death and the grave gives man a hope that until that time was conditional upon the law. The law is not dead, it is fulfilled and therefore made perfect. Therefeore, those who through their faith place their etermal life into the hands and care of a loving, forgiving God, who have been washed in the blood of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, will never perish, but have life everlasting. This new life in God's hands is not conditional but eternal. For whosoever has trusted themselves into God's hands will never be lost.

Why, Oh why, will you cast aside a perfect salvation and turn your back upon God's perfect Gift, HIS GRACE, for the forgivness of YOUR sin? Can your trust in your own continuing goodness ever equal the once, for all, GIFT of THE LOVING GOD?

Anonymous said...

but, remember that you have to throw off the old you and take on a new one, walking with christ. Or in other words, forsake all your sin and walk as Jesus did. Loving all. for when a person is reserected they are who they are. Just make sure that you can live with yourself. that is probably the hardest lesson in life. For when you are looking at other's and there sins; you are not looking at you. take no man's word; ask of God. God is the judge. can you say that a man has power to speak on your condition. that is why God gave all men a conciense. if you have pleasant feelings and know God personally then you can be assured that you are pleasing him. and God has prepared a place for all men. for it is written; what you do is what you become and what you become is what you are, and God has prepared a place for all men. The rightouse and the wicked. but then in the celestial world there is no power for an evil man to hurt or plunder. and the rightouse rest from there trouble. so read with the intent of God's veiw.....not men who slander other's and speak upon words for personal grandisement. and we are all upon a path. and read corahore, who said that an angel did come and tell him there was no christ. and in his words was his deciet. for the devil does flatter until a person is bound in his own sin; and what is he? the teachings of christ, free a person unto eternal joy. and to think that there is no penilty for sin is perpostrious!

You proclaim that 'I' must "throw off" the old me. I can't, you can't, not a living or dead person can or was ever able to do it on their own. But, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Only by the power of Christ am I clean and restored to the same status as Adam before the fall.

The Hebrew nation has tried since Abraham, their earthly father, to gain perfection in God's eyes. they have failed in their effort because they continue to try to do the impossible, like a small child who doesn't understand the impossibility of lifting or moving a heavy weight is impossible. So is any effort we make to impress God with our being good (by our own standards). Those children are trying in their strength alone. The task is impossible for you too, regardless of how many times you are "born on a new planet" to try again.

Jesus died once, for all. Accept or reject. That is the only option you have.

I am not the judge. God is, but, I can inspect fruit. "For by their fruits you shall know them." I don't see many good fruits being produced when I look your way. The ones (fruits) for which you hold such pride will disappear as you appear before the judgement. I'm not looking back to see if I am bearing fruit or not. I don't have time to dwell on the past. The future is too bright and the promises of my Savior too wonderful to worry about what could have been. To do that, my friend, is a lesson in futility unending toil toward a task that can never be accomplished.

Salvation is Jesus Christ, and NOTHING ELSE!

Answer to Thomas' request:

JESUS SAITH UNTO HIM, I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE: NO MAN COMMETH TO THE FATHER, BUT BY ME. John 14:6

and to Philip

JESUS SAITH UNTO HIM, HAVE I BEEN SO LONG TIME WITH YOU, AND YET HAST THOU NOT KNOWN ME PHILIP? HE THAT HATH SEEN ME HATH SEEN THE FATHER; AND HOW SAYETH THOU THEN SHEW US THE FATHER?

BELIEVEST THOU NOT THAT I AM IN THE FATHER, AND THE FATHER IN ME? THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK UNTO YOU I SPEAK NOT OF MYSELF: BUT THE FATHER THAT DWELLETH IN ME, HE DOETH THE WORKS.

BELIEVE ME THAT I AM IN THE FATHER, AND THE FATHER IN ME: OR ELSE BELIEVE ME FOR THE VERY WORKS' SAKE John 14: 9-11

I make the same claim. The Father is in me and the works I do, are not mine , but the Father's who dwells within me. Therefore, the Father receives the glory and not me. I need no glory, I am unworthy. Glory belongs to God, not Man.

I, you, all of us who sin had and have a part in crucifying the Lord Jesus but, Praise God, to those who will believe He, Jesus the Christ has taken upon himself our sin and it died upon the cross with him. My praise comes about as the result of my deliverance from sin.

In the cross of Christ I glory, and not I, but Christ in me.

Be as virtuous as it is possible for you to be. I applaud your virtuosity. My point is now and always has been that it is not your virtue that will get you past the judgement seat of Christ. Virtue is a work. Works will not save anyone. A human can be saved only by the blood of Jesus shed as atonement for the sin of the admitted sinner. You don't admit to sin, you are not cleansed by Jesus' Blood, you do not claim Jesus as your Lord and Savior your name is not written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

This post is meant for ots et. al who believe themselves saved by their works and at the pleasure of their prophet. It ain't so, it never was so, it never will be so. You are the victims of a gross lie.

The works of people testify to their faith or lack of it. Those who do the works of the devil show that they are of the devil (John 8:34-44; 2 Cor. 11:14-15). Sinners are called to cast off the works of darkness (Rom. 13:12; Eph. 5:11), sometimes called wicked works (Col. 1:21) or the works of the flesh (Gal. 5:19). Because sinners cannot save themselves, they must rely on the grace of GOD, not on their own works (Eph. 2:8-9; Titus 3:4-7).

Paul warned against relying on the works of the law as a basis for acceptance by GOD (Rom. 9:32; Gal. 2:16; 3:2, 5, 10). Sinners are accepted as righteous before GOD on the basis of GOD'S grace through faith in Christ, not on the basis of their own works (Rom. 3:27; 4:2-6). One evidence of saving faith, however, is the existence of good works in the lives of believers (Matt. 5:16; Acts 9:36; Eph. 2:10; Col. 1:10;
2 Thess. 2:17; 1 Tim. 2:10; 5:10, 25; Titus 2:7,14; Heb. 10:24;
1 Pet. 2:12).

Some people think that Paul and James contradict each other in their teaching about works. James 2:14-26 says that people are justified by faith and works, not by faith alone. However closer examination shows that James used the word "works" to refer to what Paul meant by "good works." James and Paul were dealing with people who wanted to rely on works of the law for their salvation. James was dealing with people who professed to believe but whose lives did not show it. Paul, therefore, emphasized that sinners cannot make themselves acceptable to GOD by keping the works of the law. Dealing with a different situation, James emphasized that true faith shows itself in good works, a point that Paul also made.

muggsey said...

It is you street who calls God a liar, not me. I have given you many verses in reference to clarify the meaning of various kinds of 'works.' YOU have not taken the opportunity to look each of these references up and verify their truthfulness. You presume yourself to be above reproach or error therefore you have pronounced yourself to be equal with GOD. If, in your estimation, you have succeeded in this quest than it would seem that you now have declared yourself to be above Warren Jeffs. Are you his self- designated replacement? If so, I pity the poor souls whom you will lead astray.

muggsey said...

Hey lead head,

If you would read the Bible instead of that book of mythical trash you would easily be able to tell that there is no one good, not even one. It is GOD who gives opportunities for good works and our assistance in helping propel them forward can only reflect GOD'S glory, the whole purpose for any work to be considered as being good.

Any work done by man, praises man, not GOD, and therefore is not considered as good work but as braggadocio.

"Oh, look at me- - - - - aren't I wonderful? Aren't you impressed GOD? I'm SO gooooood!"

GOD says, depart from me you worker of iniquity, I never knew you.

muggsey said...

Bluebeard,

I think anyone would be wise to take anything offered by a priest with a grain of salt. The only priest I recognize as authoritative is the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Those who are of HIS family of faith have access to him via the third part of the Trinity, THE HOLY SPIRIT. Why consult with GOD (or whom you HOPE is GOD) through a third party?

Why let mere men interfere? Priests generally serve in a position for the purpose of mind and thought control. The priests themselves may have good intentions but, if they are acting upon the edicts from their ecclesiastical hierarchy for input and decisions then, as often as not, the information or edict self serves the hierarchy.

For many people who depend upon such an arrangement for access to GOD, the declarations and orders from such priests can indeed serve as a comfort and a call to obedience.

The comfort comes from the individual having placed all their spiritual concern and care, and the supposed rewards and punishments for those same concerns and cares into the hands of the priest whom they are taught to obey, whom they believe to be incorruptable. It is as great an escape mechanism as are hallucinogens, and in many ways, more dangerous because in blind obedience to the priest the individual may be stumbling down a dark path toward destruction, being led by a priesthood, terribly mis-directed and thus in process of plunging themselves toward their own just and horrible end while dragging their blinded flock with them.

Woe upon those who lead others into destruction. It would be better if they had a millstone tied about their neck and were drowned in the depths of the sea.

Go ahead and think what you like. You equate the priesthood council (consisting of men) as God? You can't support that belief via the Bible.

GOD is GOD, priests were originally set aside to serve GOD, not to BE GOD. The original priests, in ancient Israel were from the tribe of Levi, the house and lineage of Aaron, and no one else. No one except a descendent of Aaron, Moses's brother can legitimately serve as priest in GOD'S service.

The priest's duties were to offer sacrifices to GOD in behalf of the People of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. A very detailed accounting regarding acceptable sacrifice is recorded in Leviticus.

Only the High Priest, a direct descendent of Aaron was given permission, by GOD'S direct instruction to enter the Holy of Holies on only one day each year, the Day of Attonement. A rope was tied to his ankle so that if his presence displeased GOD his fellow priests could pull his dead body from behind the veil of the Temple, separating the Holy Place from the Holy of Holies.

If the High Priest's offering pleased GOD the priest would exit both the Holy of Holies and Holy Place to appear and stand before the people shouting Hosannah! GOD has heard our prayer and forgiven our sin!

No, GOD does not serve HIMSELF, HE is GOD, priests may serve GOD, but too often they have formed political connections among themselves thus allowing the brotherhood of priests to elevate its position there to rival and displace GOD as the focus of worship.

This statement is in full support of my previous posting concerning priests.

Since what has been done in the name of "Priesthood" hasn't been very God-like, then I doubt the "priesthood" I have witnessed represents God.

If God and the prophet only do right, then if something isn't right, the man doing it obviously isn't God's prophet.
