If the FLDS megamillion fortune comes in part from our taxes, then it is cheering to see that Elisa Wall may be the beneficiary of it rather than the FLDS.
The timing of this book release is unbelievably good. Talk about being in the right place at the right time. The money and recognition will roll in and the FLDS will be hit with another public relations whammy. CPS is thanking God for this one.
Lest anyone think the FLDS is not cult-like, may I suggest you read the new articles about the Yahwah cult, in of all places, Texas, or any of the websites on religious cults. The similarities are striking. Both are polygamous, both put their children to work, both worship a man who dictates the rules, both are isolated, both use psychological good-bad splitting ie, the outside world is bad while life inside the cult is pure and good, both have been suspected of having preventable death, both think of themselves as victims, both leaders have amassed fortunes in the millions, both sets of followers live in poverty, both have compounds, both leaders have child abuse charges leveled against them.

Well, Based on the Facts coming forth in the Texas Case, I hope she can still make a few bucks on her Novel, would be sad to waist that much dramatic effort on nothing.
Kind of wonder how many books about CPS will come out from the 400 children with the same title, 20 years from now we will know.

Wall and the book. It's only attracting attention because of the Texas thing. She is still apparently FLDS but with a twist. The book is very similar to many others . The only person that will really benefit from this is the Lawyer that convinced her to sue or did he do it pro-bono ??
Yes, I have read about the Yahweh cult. They have been under investigation for several years. Here we have REAL abuse including do it yourself surgery.
BUT CPS HAS NOT TAKEN ALL THE CHILDREN!!!
CPS only took the children of the leader that went to jail.
This should be a prime case for CPS, where are they??

Jeffs is a nut.He said he was a prophet, Possibly he is or was. I don't have a connection to God to find out.
If Jesus came back today, he would probably be locked up as a nut case.
However, I do have some doubts as to her story. She says she didn't know anything about sex but apparently she was a fast learner. She had no problem jumping into bed with basically a stranger.Bad thing have happened to her but I don't think she was as innocent as made out.
