My grandfather turned to Mormon when he was about 40. He’s the only one in the family.

What I will say is they sure look out for one another. He got Alzheimer’s at a young age, maybe 55. But his body was good. Lived with it 20 years. Those Mormon kids mowed his yard and fixed stuff for 20 years.

I tell my wife at first indication that I have something. I’m gonna be switching over.

Y’all don’t find it random they let a few escape and hide in the bushes etc. The cartel wanted them to live so they could send the message

Just looking for a reason why anyone would want to live in a place that puts women and children in such danger.

Murder happens everywhere, look at the American murder rates for the last few years.

Spot on. Blaming Mormon religion or polygamy for any of this is irrelevant and ignorant.

False I've got a good buddy I've hunted with that is a Mormon. My issue is these people chose 10 wives over safety I've already said that. I've also said rip kiddos. I just don't like the entire " Americans killed in Mexico" "Trump wants to go to war with the cartel's" bs narrative. Think most Americans know how well American military does fighting an established gorilla enemy. Mexico would be no different unless we do what we won't do.

Lastly if you do not believe that Jesus is the son of God and is the only way to heaven and that there are no other gods. You do not believe the Bible and I'd find a prayer room and do some studying.

It's not like that's anything new, everybody knew why that particular branch had to leave the Mormon church and pretty much flee to Mexico.

I do believe that, dude, so quit projecting your religious beliefs where they don’t belong. I don’t see how it’s relevant here or why it’s the time or place to use it to blame the victims like you’re doing. And it’s certainly misguided when aimed at me.

Sorry your good buddy has to put up with that type of mindset from you.

That’s not at all how it’s coming off. You started this thread because you haven’t seen the media mention polygamy. You picked a reason for why they were murdered and then blamed the media, in my opinion.

As far as we know, they weren’t killed because they practice polygamy. And the kids that were murdered don’t practice polygamy; they’re products of it, so that turd won’t flush.

The notion that they were murdered by a drug cartel because they were polygamist is ridiculous. The cartel doesn't care about anybody's religion or home life. They kill people over money. I would bet my last dollar that something the Mormons were doing was going cost the cartel money, or get them in trouble with the law or another cartel. I would be shocked if it had anything to do with their religion.

Do you have any information that they were killed because they were polygamists? If not I still don't see how it has anything to do with the crime. The crime is a group of people being murdered by a group of worthless savages.

The fact that they were members of Mormon sect that had been living in Mexico for generations makes it likely the original group moved there to practice polygamy. From that point we move onto other non-reported possibilities as to why they were targeted, with their religion NOT being one of them.

If the media dodged the question as to why they were living in Mexico, perhaps they also dodged other information surrounding the incident.

One thing that isn't mentioned about Mormonism is the young men. If somebody has multiple wives, several somebody's go without. What happens to them?

Mexico is looking more and more like Americas future every day instead of the other way around.

Couple things. I've never blamed the victim stop putting words in my mouth buck.

You said you did not believe that then you said you did. So make up your mind.

My buddy when asked about having 10 wives will say "the Mormon church Disavowed that a long time ago"

Lastly I love my fellow man enough to share the truth. You should try it.

The more I think about it, the more I think their own group did it. I think these women and children may have been trying to flee that lifestyle and got busted.

Fox is now reporting that caravans of Mormons are now fleeing Mexico.

Given the current situation in Mexico, I think the first safe assumption would be they were targeted by the cartel animals because they were Americans, not because they were polygamists. From there I would go to possibly crossing the cartel in some way, but polygamy would be further down the list. I don't think the cartels give two ***** about the number of wives anyone has. I could be wrong, but I'm going to have to see some kind of meaningful evidence that they were targeted because they were polygamists to make that leap.

They were targeted because filthy animals run the country down there. The government is corrupt. Pretty simple.

Study the history of the people’s in Mexico. Aztec. Central America. Mayans. South America. Incas. History shows them to be barbaric and violent people. They did some crazy stuff.

“...other non-reported...”

I guess it’s too much to ask for you to start googling after it has been pointed out that the polygamy angle has been reported.

Utah.

It was reported. Extensively.

Dan is the second most passive/aggressive poster on the THF. Goal is to stir up controversy and then to act incredulous that controversy has arisen.

I said I was a Christian, then you said “Lastly if you do not believe that Jesus is the son of God and is the only way to heaven and that there are no other gods. You do not believe the Bible and I'd find a prayer room and do some studying.”

That’s what I was saying “I do believe that” to. Said I’m a Christian, then I said I believe what you typed. Where did I say I did not believe and then said I did?

I’m not the one victim blaming here. I do love my fellow man. I’m not the one projecting my religion onto them while blaming them for being murdered, when we have no idea why they were murdered. We certainly don’t know if they were murdered because they’re Mormon or polygamists, like you and Dan keep insinuating.

DNB: They chose 10 wives and a cult over the safety of their family. It's very important part of the story.

DNB: If I choose to go cave exploring in the beautiful mountains of Afghanistan and get my head sawed off don't morn.
