and I was shocked to read about a particular episode of violence in their history. It was called the Mountain Meadow Massacre. The date was September 11, 1857. They slaughtered a huge group of pioneers who were making their way west from Arkansas to California.
I actually am very concerned as to why the FLDS received a $1.7 million dollar defense contract from our government and who in our government promoted them for it.
On edit.. Spiritually I believe that "things" created with negative or violent energy, continue to keep that energy until there is a conscious effort to stop it. Not too different to the violent history of our country. We are one of the most violent countries on this planet.
