Been Reading Books

I've been concerned about the FLDS women and their children who were rounded up in Texas. What a heartache and what a mess. I decided to try and form an oppinion so I read a couple of books. I read ESCAPE by Carolyn Jessop and another one written by Dorothy Allred Solomon DAUGHTER OF THE SAINTS: GROWING UP IN POLYGAMY. Both are written by women who were raised in the same environment of polygamy and both, have left the lifestyle. Dorothy is currently a recommend holder of the official church and Carolyn is trying to work religion thru. I have truly had my eyes opened. I really didn't realize that the LDS Church has had recent battles with the FLDS and as recently as 10 years ago our Prophets were under death threats from the FLDS. These groups of peoples live in situations much like the Talban inflicts on peoples in Afganistan. In this day and age so close to home! I've been amazed. So much like a parable.... President Kimball and President Hinkley would say things in conference that went right over my head. So many times they would say....follow your local priesthood leaders, follow the prophet...come back into the fold of the Church....it has been a plea for the apostate groups to put aside their sins, repent and come back into fellowship with Christ. It has increased my Testimony......Follow the Prophet..... we're human and we make human errors and we want others to follow us down the wrong path.... Anyway it's been on my mind, and I've learned a lot. FOLLOW THE PROPHET!
