[RevRuby]

one thing no one is discussing is that she is l.d.s., mormon for those acronym impaired, latter day saint. so some points arise from that.

1. she saw him as an oppurtunity to spread the word of god, at 14 (when she was abducted) she probably couldn't tell he is warped, and sick

2. the law of chastity. someone would have had to provided some form of marrigae ceremony fo her to go to bed without fighting, let's hope (i haven't read any reports of her bing sexually abused) he was respecting that.

3. lds teach extreme obedience. i know it's not all across the board but i know alot of utah missionaries out here in pa who follow it to the letter, and they don't do things against their family.

4. as said he may have threatened her family. being who she is, in a family oriented religion, she would do anything to keep them safe. or worse threatened to take her little sister next.

5. if she could convince him she was brainwashed he may have allowed her to talk to her sis 9 months into it and give a description or hint

just some valid points i wanted to make.
