AS to SSN... no they are not required. BUT to to use children as tax deductions or to get any benefits they must have them.

I bet there is a lot of misinformation concerning this group...

Many people wronfully think Amish don't pay taxes....

If all of this is verified fact, can you provide me some sources so I can know for sure all this was happening?

I think it was just released that they have 10 women that are proof of abuse/underage marriage/rape victims.

I'm assuming they are either pregnant, or have babies young enough to prove they were pregnant as adolescents.

Not sure why they are calling them women though. If they are minors and pregnant right now, I would think they would call them girls/children.

That's definately what they need is proof. I was getting worried. lol

I know I am moving into politically incorrect territory.... But I can't help but notice the resemblance to other..... ahem.... religious organizations here.
Surely the old paths, that these women are following must be pleasing in His eyes!

I haven't been in the UPC since the 80's, but this is exactly what I remember many (most?) of the women looking like.

Then your memory is playing tricks on you. It is plain to see that those are home made dresses, and I have yet to find any apostolic church where the women all wear the same style of home made dress.

I saw many like that. The old AMF was even moreso this way.

Yes, it is the hair, the dresses (homemade or not), and the unique way that they all look middle aged from the time they turn 20. A very "must keep subjected" mentality coming from the mens side and eagerly adopted by the women.

Yeah the times have changed ! I remember a few that were close way back when I first started attending church. (AOG) In the late 50's/60's.
Only difference in them and UPC was doctrine.
