    Last night I caught a few minutes on CNN. They are still covering all angles of the Warren Jeffs/Polygamy story.
    An edict came down from "the top" that some decided to follow.
    In the family they were interviewing, (1 husband, 4 wives - 1 deceased - 35 children - and over 114 grandchildren)
    10 of the children (and their extended)
    will have nothing to do with the parents or the rest of the family - because they were told not to associate with those that ...(thats the part I missed)
    but had to do with Warren Jeffs' leadership & the loyalty he demands.

    CNN has been touching on this topic of shunning, excommunication & the divine loyalty - shaking their heads in amazement. (like we do here LOL)
    the language is so similar - chilling.
    any here with JW family at home - this is a conversation starter for sure!
    Would the JW be able to discuss without seeing themselves or pgs in the WT - would they be able to voice an opinion one way or the other about the polygamists?
    I'd love to hear it.

    can someone move this to the open part of the forum?
    I didn't realize I'd started it in the private box.
    thanks
