So.all you fundamentalist Mormons should pack up and move to Canada, it sounds like a polygamist's paradise. Also, the age of sexual consent in Canada is 16 (just used to be 14!), so perhaps having a FLDS "Prophet" in Canada is just what these people need to legitamize their practices. It also allows for protection of religious practices, and since Polygamy, or "plural marriage" has been a doctrine of the Mormon church for over 150 years there is real concern that having multiple wives may very well be protected by Canadian Law. I would ask Mr Blackmore just exactly how old a girl has to be to get married! Here's the thing.in Canada, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms essentially allows many variations of marriage, such as now-legal Canadian same-sex unions. There is great cost to taxpayers and individuals in taking care of these people. Question for Mr Blackmore: Should Jeff's and the FLDS UEP be held finacially respondsible for the cost of taking care of all those who have recently been kicked out and forced to the streets. It is all of our problem when they trap minors into this. Once they become consenting adults and chose to marry that�s their problem. In regards to underage marriages and sexual conduct with minors we do need to intervene. The best way to help is by being there when they chose to leave. They don't know how to take responsibilities in the real world and generally replace Jeff's Control by allowing someone else to control them. When they come out of this they need help. ![]() The worst thing to do is break them up like 1953. I have just been there to help several of them in getting out. I am not an FLDS and do not agree with their doctrine. It all they have been taught since birth. Also don�t forget those especially in Jeff's group were mostly born into it. As in any culture don't judge the mass by what a few horrible leaders do. I do want to say that those I know and have met who are in are very nice people. From those I have spoken with who are with Blackmore they seem to follow him more by choice than those who follow Jeffs by force. Most of those I know have left or been kicked out. I know many people who were born into the FLDS. I am so glad he is in custody and I hope they throw away the key. I wasn't surprised that he was caught with 50k and computers and ipods. And lets not forget his erie singing and the image of him nursing out of a baby bottle. ![]() This is apparent from his racist and chauvinistic sermons. The ones I know are very normal and mainstream. By the way, I want to point out that not all Mormons are like this. Also, would he be trading wives like they were cattle? I can't imagine how he would have time to be head of the FLDS church with 20 wives and 100 children!!! That just boggles the mind. Also, it is a good sign that he is open and engaging to reporters.I think we need to know if he supports marrying underage girls which is no more than child molestation. Blackmore was booted from power by Warren Jeffs says volumes for him. So here's my question: If you were interviewing Blackmore today, what would you ask him? I'm also curious to hear his thoughts about Jeffs having more than $50,000 in his SUV along with computers and iPods - the very things he tells his followers to shun. Today, we plan on talking to him about what he thinks of Jeffs' arrest, how he views the future of the church, and whether he might entertain taking over. He's friendly to reporters (unlike most polygamists) and is an ardent defender of the way he lives. Now, with Jeffs in custody, some people think Blackmore has the leadership skills and charisma to take over the whole church.ĭespite what you may think of Blackmore's lifestyle, he's an engaging fella. He was the head of the FLDS sect in Canada until Jeffs booted him from power a few years ago. Some observers are speculating he might be the one to succeed Warren Jeffs as leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS) now that Jeffs has been arrested.īlackmore says he's not interested in the job, but perhaps no one is better positioned to take over. He's got about 20 wives and a hundred kids. I'm on my way to Bountiful, British Columbia, to interview one of the most notorious polygamists in North America: Winston Blackmore. ![]()
