April 4-Tx-OTS-Des.News

Guess what? The Desperate Moron News is blocking "CERTAIN POSTERS" from even making on comment on their article, including me...(lol). So, I'll post it here, those desperados! Gee Gaz, talk about censureship and Waco and kkk in America. The LDS Church is leading the PAK, and create the crises themselves. We can all plainly see who is afraid of the TRUTH, at least from my viewpoint, and I’m sure they’ve blocked others, anything that can cover up the fact that the LDS Church has prostituted and apostatized for gain, selling themselves to gain statehood and public favor. Everyone knows that. It’s a matter of history. Their censorship isn’t just “comment moderation” either. It’s automatic shutdown of the browser, to censure the facts, or access to the other comments. So some comments got through, because they apparently are just blocking certain posters completely, without bothering with monitoring the unblocked posters. Just look at some of the comments:

Just more of the same. Anti's are here throwing out accusations without any proof, and their solution is to throw everyone in jail. Nice witch hunt tactic.

Instead of going to Ranch with one CPS worker and entering the single home of the person who called, they block off streets, no one in or out, bring multiple police vehicles and even an armed personnel carrier. They claim that they are getting advice from the Washington County, UT sheriff, yet when did the Sheriff ever investigate abuse with armed personnel carriers and a herd of police cars?

Persecutorial, Ku Klux Klan-esque tactics are alive and well in these United States of Amerika! JND | 12:02 p.m. Apr. 4, 2008

“Fact: the FLDS church split from the LDS church when the LDS church dropped polygamy”: Ahh, so who dropped what? Who split from who? Who apostatized, and who has remained faithful?

“(I heard a story about a church that split over whether Adam had a belly button)”: Button button, who’s got the button…

DUH! eldgirl | 11:53 a.m. Apr. 4, 2008
Crazy judgemental fanatics have not made FLDS life easy around here. Let's join together and pray for safety of all involved on all sides. Let's pray for the children who are scared and confused and pray for our officers and state employees who are doing their best amongst all these jugemental by standers as well. snickerdoodle | 11:55 a.m. Apr. 4, 2008. Why wasn't this under "LDS News?"

April 4-Tx-OTS-YFZ Raid

I will say this much about the YFZ Raid: If there was a girl being molested there, or anywhere, that is not Zion. But if authorities fabricated it, or twisted an innocent call into abuse, and timed it for the most sacred holiday of the FLDS Church (April 6), then that is not government. That is vigilantism.

If there was indeed molestation taking place in such a place, where a much higher standard is required even by the Lord Himself, then the authorities did well to swarm down, for God and the Prophet Warren would do the same, and they are God’s ministers (Romans 13:4-6). Indeed, God works in His Prophet, and in His governments on earth. The Prophet Warren has already swarmed and cast out many. The world is witness of this. That is the source of the many former members turned critic, because of the faithfulness and courage of the Prophet. Praise to the man, and to the government, who act in such courage and discretion before God and man.

PS: Burp! Fart! Poop! Oh, pardon me…My mouth opened, and so did my ass. This is what the Lord means when He says of the wicked: “I will spew them out” (Rev.3:16). So if the Prophet and the government are the assholes for being vigilant, so be it. The ones spewed out are the shit. Now, don’t get me wrong. Many are adjusted, corrected, or spewed out. We all are. We all spewed from heaven. But gross element can coagulate and reform into a delightful creature, if we repent and become delightful souls.

April 4-Tx-OTS-Then What?

CNN: “Escorted by police, social workers entered the compound in south central Texas at 8 p.m. Thursday after receiving "a referral," said Child Protective Services spokeswoman Marleigh Meisner.”

That “referral” could have been from anybody, including Floral Jessop or the LDS Church, posing as the child in distress, to light the spark of an antsy government, to get inside and…then what? Take pictures of innocence? Get names of faithful LDS practicing the fundamentals? Truth prevails.

Sad story. I can't help but wonder how the investigation will end.

I noticed in the photo accompanying the Eldorado Success story that the buses used to transport the children came from the "First Baptist Church". Interesting, the way that church and state entangle one another....

I am so sad for all of these children, no matter what their religion. They have been torn away from their families and all that they have ever known.

This is plainly religious persecution. Leave them alone! How about this: if I don't like someone, I can report that they are abusing their children, and those children will instantly be taken away with no questions whatsoever! Stop persecuting religion in the name of "protecting children". Any church will contend that children of another church are not being raised right.

If there was even a whisper of abuse or inappropriate relationship, the state troopers should have gone in. These people came to God's country under false pretenses. Originally saying this land was to remain a hunting retreat. These people aren't welcome in TX and never were. They came here on lie so it is perfectly fine with me if this blasphemous compound was raided on a lie. Any polygamists reading this: Stay out of Texas, we don't need your filth here.

TexanNC (9:44 PM):

What? You don't even know which state you are in, Texas or North Carolina (Carol's WHAT)? The FLDS came to God's country is right, God's, NOT YOURS. And they came under the most honorable of circumstances, as a hunting retreat, which it has remained to this day, hunting the purity souls for God, from the puberty, the source of the stream where it is the purest. DO NOT DELAY (conception), saith the Lord: (Exodus 22:29). Also, do not touch her (Gen.3:3).

There you go, God's Word, the Christian Canon, fulfilled by none other than the FLDS Church, even as Christ began His adulthood in the temple at 12 years-old (Luke 2:49).

Let's see, what else did you poop on in your confusion, beside 1,000 miles of God's country, between Texas and NC? Now, you being the abuser, seeing how you are against God's own Word regarding Christ's command and His example of adulthood at puberty, that makes you Anti-Christ, and therefore not welcome in Texas nor in America, nor even upon this earth.

This is why the Lord has a controvercy with the nations, and says that He will sweep the land clean. You are here on a lie, so by your own decree, it is perfectly fine for you to be raided and swept away, because the Lord and good people everywhere do not want your filth.
