Hello fellow FLDS Obssessors! My goal in this blog is to provide a central location for all things FLDS as well as provide up-to-date news and activities on the FLDS case. I would also like to provide a way to cut through all the editorials and side pieces in an effort to stay more central to the case. I have a lot of recapping to do just to get everything on here, so I'll try to get it all in one post:
The first article is from several days ago, but is a detailed description of just how separate the FLDS really are from mainstream society and in what ways. A good basis to start from:

The second is from 2 days ago - a well done editorial on two popular arguments against the state of Texas's actions in removing the children:
