You're nuts man. I would have left that creepy town long before being escorted out.
That is me speaking now, back in the day I was equally young and dumb.
Lost Boys, good link
They are alleged to be pressured to leave by adult men to reduce competition for wives within such sects, usually when they are between the ages of 13 and 21.[2]
These are some sick puppies, but I guess that if every fellow is going to have many wives there are not enough women to go around.
In the picture of Warren Jeffs family it is hard to tell who the wives are, they all look so young.
All girls, I wonder if that is a coincidence.
Watched the video of the older gentleman dispelling all of the fake news surrounding Mormons.
Having articles of polygamy appearing alongside articles of Mormons, paints a picture that has to enfuriate Mormons.
The dude in the video kept his cool when dispelling the fake news, by what he says are big news organizations.
When living in NJ, I had a family of Mormons living directly across the street. Very quiet folk, who for the most part kept to themselves.
Nice people though, respectful and pleasant enough when we did cross paths.
Nice article, love all of the links.
Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to view all of the links and articles, I felt they were beneficial for the article, hopefully readers do too. From what you had to say.. mission accomplished!
Lost Boys is one of the ones that really stood out to me too. Grown men who felt challenged by little boys just had to say the wOrd and “see ya!”
That picture of Jeff’s. I didn’t want to give the guy the credit of showing the image but if readers wanted the option of putting a name to the face, it’s there. You saw the same thing I did... who’s he married to and who did he father or are they one and the same?! Twisted!
About pissing off Mormons, I promise that wasn’t my intention. In fact, it couldn’t be more opposite, I love all Christians the same. This article sat in my phone for a couple of months before I released it for that exact reason. I didn’t want to come off as an anti Mormon, that’s not it. What I finally decided is: it’s a true story, this is exactly how it went down and if a Mormon is going to judge me for it, then, well.... They’re not very good at being a Mormon.
I didn’t judge the religion even back when they did this to me.
Thanks for stopping by @thebigsweed, your continued support is appreciated beyond text, really! You, your wife, my wife and all of the our fellow steemians are why I’m doing this. Thank you, Bob, happy New Year!
Your ally,

Having articles of polygamy appearing alongside articles of Mormons, paints a picture that has to infuriate Mormons.
I was not referring to your post having the two side by side.
What I was referring to was the Mormon in the video on your link, stating that many of the news organizations, when depicting Mormon's lifestyle, always have news of polygamy in the same article
The guy in the video thought that it was not fair for the different media outlets to depict all Mormons as polygamists.
Mormons Know How To Make An Impression, I wonder what the reasoning was for putting you in such a dangerous environment. Were you looked down at for not being a Mormon, or was the fact that you were wearing the wrong attire. What ever the reason, that is some crazy stuff. I wonder how many other non Mormon children came to visit and were placed on a ledge for an hour, window closed, while inside the class, business was conducted as normal.
For the kids to show no reaction to this very strange behavior of the teacher tells me this is not the first time they had seen this maneuver.
I'm sure you never went back, RIGHT.
What a weird experience to have to go through at such a young age.
Another very interesting story by #dandays.
I see you made some big bucks on this post .03 cents, what are you kidding me.
Misunderstanding, the news media clip... gotcha!
You know what?? I never even thought about how normal it was for the kids to see me step out onto that roof until just now. You’re absolutely right!! I’m certain it didn’t have anything to do with my clothing @thebigsweed. Lack of affiliation possibly.
