Samuel Rappylee Bateman, 46

This sounds bad – but is it even true?

New York Post:

An Arizona polygamist cult leader has been accused of marrying 20 women, most of whom are under the age of 15, as well as his daughter.

Samuel Rappylee Bateman, 46, has been accused of marrying up to 20 women and girls as young as 9-years-old, according to an FBI affidavit filed Friday in Washington.

Well, did he consummate the marriage with the 9-year-old?

People used to understand there was a difference between marriage and consummation.

The affidavit, obtained by the Salt Lake Tribune, outlines horrifying accusations of incest, group sex acts involving adults and children and child sex trafficking against Bateman.

Bateman leads an offshoot group of the Mormon Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints (FLDS), but has been held in an Arizona jail since the FBI raided his two Colorado City homes in September.

Agents looked for evidence of underage marriages or sexual relationships between adults and children, according to the Tribune.

While Bateman has not been charged with sexual abuse, the affidavit claims the FBI has probable cause to believe he and others transported minors between Arizona, Utah, Nevada and Nebraska to engage in illicit sexual conduct between May 2020 and November 2021.

Not charge with sexual abuse, huh?

Sounds like the whole thing is bullshit then.

These people will charge you with sexual abuse for slapping a hoe’s ass.

Bateman “began to proclaim he was a prophet” in 2019, and gained about 50 followers and over 20 wives, most of whom are minors under the age of 15, according to the affidavit filed by FBI Special Agent Dawn A. Martin.

The majority of his wives are daughters, sisters and mothers from two extended polygamous families, according to the affidavit.

Martin was provided audio recordings of a November 2021 conversation in which Bateman said “Heavenly Father” had instruction him to “give the most precious thing he has, his girls’ virtue,” to three of his adult male followers.

Bateman then allegedly watched the three adult men have sex with his daughters, one of whom was only 12-years-old, according to the affidavit.

He allegedly went on to say his daughters had “sacrificed their virtue for the Lord” and that “God will fix their bodies and put the membrane back in their body. I’ve never had more confidence in doing his will. It’s all out of love,” Martin quoted Bateman as saying.

Well that definitely doesn’t sound good – if it’s true.

The affidavit was filed Friday in a federal court in Spokane, Washington, where eight girls were removed from Batemans home by the Arizona Department of Child Safety on Thursday.

The girls had been placed in group homes in the suburbs of Phoenix, but disappeared on Sunday.

Bateman had once been among the trusted followers of FLDS leader Warren Jeffs, but Jeffs recently denounced Bateman in a written revelation sent to his followers from prison, according to the Daily Mail.

Bateman’s attorney, Adam Zickerman, cautioned in September against inferring the case was about religious persecution, but stopped short of specifying Bateman’s faith or whether he practices polygamy.

Look – I’m not going to say there’s nothing weird or bad going on here. Obviously, if the FBI is telling the truth, there was bad stuff going on.

However, I do not trust the FBI to tell the truth. We’ve witnessed Mormons be persecuted by the feds, totally unconstitutionally, for following their religion. This has been going on for decades. Because Mormonism is traditional and it prizes self-sufficiency, it is seen as a threat by the feds.

Of course, when you get into polygamy and underage marriage, there is a lot of room for abuse, so it’s clear that you would have people trying to exploit the situation.

The thing is: the situation becomes exploitable BECAUSE the feds have outlawed their religion.

People have been doing polygamy since forever. We can disagree with it morally, but it is a protected religious right of the Mormons.

These silly Mormons are at it again with their rules about what you can and can’t do!

What a bunch of silly-pants!

Washington Post:

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints wants to make clear that vaping, green tea and fancy coffee drinks are off limits under the religion’s dietary code, which is meant to keep members from consuming unhealthy substances.

Mormon leaders pointed to an article in its youth magazine New Era which reminded readers that the Word of Wisdom prohibits “hot drinks”, understood to mean tea and coffee, and harmful or habit-forming substances.

E-cigarettes are highly addictive, “iced tea is still tea” and any drink ending in “-ccino” probably has coffee and breaks the rules, the church wrote.

Recreational marijuana is also banned but medical marijuana and opioids are fine when used as prescribed by a doctor.

The Christian sect – widely known as the Mormon church – had previously said it approved of medical marijuana in certain circumstances, but last year it opposed a medical marijuana bill in Utah that it said went too far.

Experts and church members said the clarifications raised as many questions as they answered.

Still, experts and church members said the clarifications raised as many questions as they answered: Why is iced tea off limits if it’s cold? What’s the church’s stance on coffee-flavored desserts? Are drinks with green-tea extract okay?

To Lauren Lethbridge, editor of Brigham Young University’s student newspaper, the Universe, following the Word of Wisdom is about obedience to the church. She said her friends have been talking about the clarification that green tea violates the rules because several of them drink juices with green-tea extract. Many of them feel fine about the extract, Lethbridge said, but one friend vowed to throw out her drinks immediately.

…

The Word of Wisdom is a section of the Doctrine and Covenants, one of the church’s four volumes of scripture. Mormons believe God revealed in 1833 the foods and substances that are good and bad for people to consume. Liquor, tobacco, tea and coffee were prohibited.

What a wild, kooky, backward cult they are.

But they share the same values as all Americans when it comes to what really matters: men fucking other men up the ass.

Washington Post, April 29, 2019:

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints considers same-sex marriage to be a “serious transgression” — and, until this spring, treated Mormons involved in these unions as apostates, subject to church disciplinary hearings that could result in their excommunication.

So a commencement ceremony on Friday at Brigham Young University, the flagship academic institution of the Mormon Church, was an unlikely occasion for this pronouncement: “I stand before my family, friends and graduating class today to say that I am proud to be a gay son of God.”

The affirmation came from Matthew Easton, 24, who was being celebrated as the valedictorian in the political science department — and the graduating senior chosen to deliver remarks at the ceremony for the College of Family, Home, and Social Sciences.

Held up as a model for his classmates, he spoke plainly about the part of him that his church finds less commendable. Before an audience of about 10,000 — which included family members to whom he had not disclosed his sexuality — Easton asserted his value and his role in divine intent.

“I am not broken,” he declared. “I am loved and important to the plan of our great creator. Each of us are.”

Among the audience members to whom the announcement came as a surprise was one of Easton’s sisters, who was recording a video of his speech. The camera slipped as she let out a whoop, part of a chorus of cheers that echoed through the Marriott Center. In the middle of the immense sports arena stood Easton, at a lectern bearing his university’s initials. He smiled and paused, waiting for the applause to die down.

“Four years ago, it would have been impossible for me to imagine that I would come out to my entire college,” he continued. “It is a phenomenal feeling. And it is a victory for me in and of itself.”

You see, Americans are all different.

Some are big, some are small, some are black, some are white.

Some have endless documents about tea flavoring in juice, other folks think that’s downright silly.

But we all agree that there is one thing that trumps all else: the fact that men should be fucking each other up the ass.

As long as you enjoy getting fucked up the ass, then you’re as American as iced tea.

Even if you got a message from God that you’re not supposed to drink iced tea.

Mormons are one of the most widely hated, distrusted and ridiculed groups in the United States.  Mocking them is acceptable in all non-Mormon social circles and media outlets.  But despite this widespread dislike and scorn, the Mormons obstinately stick to their unpopular beliefs.  Most of them, that is.

Up until 1978, the Mormon Church did not allow Negroes to become priests.  Thanks to the Jew- and Communist-organized “Civil Rights” movement of the 50s and 60s, racial segregation had become very unpopular by this time, forcing the Mormons to change their policy.

At first glance, this might seem like a religious organization caving to worldly pressure.  However, a recent post at the official Mormon Church website assures us that the decision to allow black priests came directly from God.  Here are some personal recollections from high-ranking Church officials who were present during the “revelation”:

I was in the temple when President Spencer W. Kimball received the revelation regarding the priesthood. I was the junior member of the Quorum of the Twelve. I was there. I was there with the outpouring of the Spirit in that room so strong that none of us could speak afterwards. We just left quietly to go back to the office. No one could say anything because of the powerful outpouring of the heavenly spiritual experience.

…we joined in prayer in the most sacred of circumstances. President Kimball himself was voice in that prayer. I do not recall the exact words that he spoke. But I do recall my own feelings and the nature of the expressions of my Brethren. There was a hallowed and sanctified atmosphere in the room. For me, it felt as if a conduit opened between the heavenly throne and the kneeling, pleading prophet of God who was joined by his Brethren. The Spirit of God was there. And by the power of the Holy Ghost there came to that prophet an assurance that the thing for which he prayed was right, that the time had come, and that now the wondrous blessings of the priesthood should be extended to worthy men everywhere regardless of lineage.  Not one of us who was present on that occasion was ever quite the same after that. Nor has the Church been quite the same.

To give support to their ridiculous claim that it was God, and not the Jew-controlled secular culture, that dictated the decision, the Church included this sappy video featuring black Mormons.

Mormons never pass up an opportunity to tell us how happy they were when God gave this new revelation.  Mitt Romney famously claimed that he “cried tears of joy” when he heard the news.

The Mormons may be ridiculed for practicing a strange religion, but their decision to allow black priests shows that there is one worldly force which they do fear: Jewish Political Correctness.
