That is so sad. It is a parents/guardians duty to care, protect, guide, and teach their children to prepare them for independence. When parents/guardians choose to put them in danger then they should also suffer the consequences.

@Betty What was particularly sad is when the mother joined the cult she cut off all ties to her family as did the husband. I am not allowed to see my grandchildren and I explained that to the girl that left the cult. She immediately called her mothers family and now has support.

@K9Kohle You helped one get away and that is a wonderful thing.

Who (other than you) even inferred Idaho is "infected" with lethal mental defectives?

@Alienbeing They have a faith healing exemption law on the books. What else do you need to know?

@Flyingsaucesir I have no time for @Alienbeing. His debilitating personal insecurities bore me.

@anglophone As noted and previously PROVEN, many times, what you have no time for is facts.

Rant on.

@Flyingsaucesir Even though poorly stated in your reply, that answer clearly was not an answer to my question. The question WAS, and remains, why does the mere fact that a State has a law making no sense, or worse, WHY does that fact even infer the entire state is "infected" with mental defectives?

I am sure that most residents of Idaho, have no clue such a law is on the books.

I'd bet your State has laws you know absolutly nothing about, yet could affect you.

@anglophone makes tons of unsupported observations and accusations. He never has proof of any.

Get it?

@Alienbeing Here's why I don't think @anlgophone's comment is off base:

1. An infection usually does not affect every cell of the body. In fact it may be limited to a small area.
2. It may be that not every citizen of Idaho knows about their state's faith healing exemption law, but some surely do. They probably include legislators, lawyers, judges, clerks, cops, clergy, journalists, and their readers. They may well number in the tens if thousands. It's a reasonable assumption.

@Flyingsaucesir The first sentence of your reply is wrong. An infection starts out local, but all infections can and do spread thoghout one's body and if it spreads enough, it kills. More simply put, once an infection starts, if not treated and your body can't fight it off, you eventually die. I add that IF your statement about "local" was correct that would put your statement indirect conflict with @alglophone's statement which was that Idaho was "infested" which certainly is not "local".

Your second sentence starts off wrong by saying "It may be......" There is NO question about "it may be", it is, without doubt. Yes some do know of the law, and equally undoubtable is the fact that those who do are in a large minority.

With the two corrections I poit out it is obvious that @anglophone posts (many times I might add) incorrect statements, many of which have been corrected, as was the statement currently under discussion.

At best @anglophine is ignorant, more probable is @anglophone is a socialist hack.

Now why do you think @anglophone has a point?

@Flyingsaucesir I have no time for the mental defective and emotional defective that is @Alienbeing.

@anglophone You have plenty of time, and you just proved it gain. As we all know what you really have no time for is facts.

Good to see you realize that politiicans are generally "useless scum". That observation is true for BOTH major political parties.

@Alienbeing Niether party is ALL bad, but the MAGAt Republicans certainly qualify as useless scum.

@Flyingsaucesir As does the Squad.

@Alienbein At least the squad acknowledge climate science and propose positive action (unlike most Republicans, who put their short-term profits and lifestyles ahead of their own children's and grandchildrens' futures. Republican selfishness is also on full display in their refusal to entertain reasonable gun regulations).

You're a hard man, Barnie

@Flyingsaucesir given the world population, if the lemmings want to thin out their own herd, especially in the name of their god, that is their prerogative. Same as the Amish being allowed to only school their kids to eighth grade.

And largely non existent, it’s all based on fantasy.
