Fundamentalist Mormonwatch Revisited

[inulro]

From today's Guardian (I don't look very hard for this stuff):

Hellfire and sexual coercion: the dark side of American polygamist sects

There's also a book on the subject (thanks to miss_soap for mentioning it):

God's Brothel: The Extortion of Sex for Salvation in Contemporary Mormon and Christian Fundamentalist Polygamy and the Stories of 18 Women who Escaped

I will not be purchasing it in the near future, however, as my bank balance is none too healthy.

On a similar note, thank you for recommending Under the Banner of Heaven; I'm reading it now.

Yup - linked to it last week or so.

Free Books!

You don't have to own everything you read. They have these things you can go to to get books that you can just take for a while and read, then bring back.."Libraries" I think they're called. ;)

I didn't say I wouldn't be reading it...

I use the library extensively - that's the main reason it takes me a year to get around to reading books I've bought as I always have something I need to read *now* to go back. Our local library's selection of North American-related weirdness is a bit poor though, so I'll have to resort to inter-library loan, which can be very slow.
