I was watching a Utah Fox13 news report about members of the FLDS religion walking away from their homes and religion.

It has been called by some as a "humanitarian crisis" as many people are having to walk away from their homes. Should the LDS church step in and help where they can?

As they created the problem in the first place, they have an obligation.

We can always hope.

My guess is that the LDS church will try to keep as much distance as possible from the FLDS. Especially in an election year with a Mormon most likely to be the Republican nominee. Expect no help from the LDS church.

The Church will NOT help except for young children. Why? There is NO WAY that Church leaders want mature polygamists in the homes of Mormon...talking about 1886 Revelations and how the Manifesto was a BIG LIE (which it was). No way! The Brethren want Mormons ignorant, busy as Hell, and UNable to think for themselves. Mormons are best controlled that way.

yes, people should step up and help out those that are not in your tribe/culture. all people need someone to say you are loved, cherished, no longer an outcast, and that you are worthy. everyone needs a savior.

Many Utah news outlets are now reporting about the new edict of Warren Jeffs to his church. These people either need to leave with nothing but the clothes on their back or submit to new rules and a new baptism.

Are you referring to this new End Times prophecy?

Thanks for the link, Blixa! It's a little fuzzy, but it sounds like the world is ending in the next couple of days.

"The special part of the meeting was that Warren called in. And then he told everybody, if they weren't "chosen" by the end of the year, they would be destroyed," said Wyler.

I'm going to the Ferrari dealership to max out my credit cards. One last fling before the fire and brimstone.

In the unlikely event that the world doesn't end, I wonder how Warren will explain it?

To me, that's always the most interesting thing about "end of the world" predictions. The excuses put forward about why it didn't happen.

Perhaps he's referring to the end of his world.
