Leave those kids alone
If being separated from their mothers and put in foster care weren't bad enough for the FLDS kids, now the Baptists are trying to get their hooks in them.

Brian West at the Deseret News reports that Mary Mackert, a former FLDS plural wife born again as a Baptist, is doing her thing in Texas. Mackert is telling Baptist congregations:

I am a missionary to the polygamous people. God called me to the FLDS. ... Not only did he save me, but he brought me to a point where I fell in love with my (FLDS) people and their need for the Lord.

Mackert is asking Texas authorities for all the FLDS kids they can deliver. A Baptist congregation in Fort Worth will buy her a house to care for them (read: convert).

First He's telling FLDS geezers to take multiple child brides, then He's calling loons like Mackert as Baptist missionaries. I wish God would figure out what he wants, then stay on message.
