Belle ,           I know how you feel abt. those children and some of the wives .This is suppose to be a branch off the LDS church but the LDS church did nothing to stop the illegal practices of this church in their states Utah and arizona .  Linda , if you get kicked off the list I'll be with you ,kicked off that is ----- Original Message ---- From: Belle Shepherd <belleshep@cox.net> To: KYHeritageFolklore@yahoogroups.com; homespun@rootsweb.com; southern-chat@rootsweb.com; rememberingwhen@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, May 16, 2008 2:41:40 PM Subject: [SOUTHERN-CHAT] Gay marriages.. Hello, I have read about the  law, I don't like it either but one good thing is that they can't have kids to be neglested and abused , by their union. Not the way some  so called legal unions with four or more wives and dozens of offspring to be abused, neglected and  no knowledge of who might be their parent.This is the kind of thing that makes me ill. The most disgusting thing a person can do. I had a distant cousin, brother to my  great-grandfather that joined the group. His son went to Colorado, ended upp with four wives and 27 children. Many of these went to Arizona. Two of his wives were sisters but there is no mention of their parents in the LDS Genealogy records. I met some of the descendants living in Arizona back in the late 60's. Nice people but some didn't seem to be playing with a full deck. Perhaps I will be asked to refrain from posting on these lists, so it goes. Linda, Emma, there is no absolutely perfect place to live, though some are better than others.Over the years, I have lived in several different places. If I still had a choice, I think I would choose North Carolina west of Ashville.
