Questions on the ElDorado Texas Polygamy

ElDorado, Texas has become a worldwide controversy with the religious sects practice of polygamy, and sexual/physical abuse on women and minors. I just cant believe that such has been going on for years that I cannot quite fathom how or why these practices are observed, even practiced by so called followers of Christ. The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints looks as though it came right of the movies. It was all too incredible to believe. My mind still cant quite grasp what sort of teachings and understanding of these teachings led all these men to treat women in such manner, without utter regards for their rights or even their welfare. Maybe its culture. Maybe again, its not. A lot of questions are swarming in on my head and I cant answer each and everyone one of them. The questions have become a hay stack of needles, with every new information and opinion probing about for an answer. • Isnt it quite odd how long it took to finally say that something was wrong? With what, after hundreds of children and dozens of wives? • Isnt it quite odd too how the news in our country focus on the protestors rallying against the Olympic Torch with vinyl signs on free Tibet and such when something entirely disturbing is happening in our own backyard? • Where does the line of civil rights and human rights blur? • Why have the officials waited for four years before breaking down or raiding the temple? • Why are the news covering about the beds found on the upper floor of the temple when other details and other matters on the case need to be discussed? • I cant help but think that the women were treated like cattle that the men left in the barn when they had something else to do. Were they cattle for the men who go out of town and work and use cellular phones? • How could someone at 16 be ready for marriage in this day and age? • Why dont people recognize the paradigm shift? That some things only hold true or applicable at a certain time frame or era? • What and how were those teachings taught in the temple? • And of course, how could one man make all of this possible? Dozens and dozens of questions need to be answered, if not for the children and women who suffered, but for the sake of justice as well.
