Whoa! Polygamist solution is frightening...

All right, it is my intent to walk away from this thread. I have spent way too much time here already. However, I would like to thank everyone for so many interesting thoughts and insights. Carry on!

I would however point out that some people mellow as they age and I suspect Carolyn Jessop makes quite a bit of money on her books.

You are right. He could be a nice old man.
And she could be a liar.
Time will tell.

Good night, Sister.
Sweet dreams!

What of Beethoven, Mozart, Howie Mandel, Sir Isaac Newton, Agatha Christie, Charles Dickens, Alfred Nobel, Aristotle, Theodore Roosevelt, Danny Glover, Albert Einstein, Alexander Graham Bell, Leonardo Da Vinci, Magic Johnson, Thomas Edison, Winston Churchhill, Donald Sutherland, Michael J. Fox, Stevie Wonder, John Milton, Donald Trump, and Tiger Woods?

Wow, you just really only deal in the extreme examples and inflammatory responses? I am surprised, I was led to believe by everyones high regard on here that you were a reasoned thinker.

How you could make such insulting remarks over my statement is beyond me. To imply that I was saying we should only produce perfect children is ridiculous.

I was replying regarding the information that generations of inbreeding have brought about in some of these children, and in most the result is not a just a handicap, but a painful, debilitating disease. Children are reaping a lifetime (or not) of pain because of their parents choices. This is something that could be stopped or changed, simply by widening their gene pool to include people they are not related to.

Do I think that any parent who knows that they will pass along a serious genetic or inherited disease to their child should think seriously about their decision? Yes, and I don't feel I need to apologize for it, I think every parent should think long and hard before having a child in any situation, it is not a decision to be lightly made and requires a lifetime of commitment and a lot of prayer.

And for the record, the brilliant people you mentioned, very few have anything near the type of problem I am discussing.

I never mentioned nice, just tried to explain that what occurred 22 years ago may not be going on today. It is a known fact that abusive husbands generally aren't as abusive the older they get. Maybe they run out of steam.

As to the other; well she is making alot of money telling her version of the story. I haven't read her book, but I read on another forum that the water-boarding story about the babies wasn't in it and wasn't brought up until quite recently. Don't know if its true or not, but I would like to know.

Really trying to walk away... (Just one more post to go).

dizzede- I probably did deal with your post on an emotional level. Nina's post said there is a range of symptoms for this particular disease being talked about and it included some of the same symptons that are among the group of people I included in my post.

Sister,

Do I need to edit anything I've posted?

AG...I would not be surprised if these ladies were instructed what to say/what not to say by one of their leaders, thus the robotics. I had a pastor who would do this, in fact, I can almost hear the instructions he might give.
