Elizabeth Smart and cults...
Antigen:
I'm not sure if the Smarts are Mormon or not. As I understand it, they're rather more like hippies. But I could be wrong on that.
I thought it was interesting that the kidnappers met up in rehab in Utah because Utah is notorious for ignoring abusive rehabs. WWASP and some of the other Synanon based boot camp, wilderness deathmarch and boarding schools like to locate in Utah and So. Dakota for that reason.
So I wonder what kind of rehab served as the setting for this romance.
May your days be joyously challenging and your words artfully true.

Ginger,
The Smart's are anything but Hippies. They are extremely wealthy, living high on the hill, self proclaimed "good upstanding" Mormons. I doubt that they even know the meaning of the word hippie! :lol.
As for Elizabeth Smart, well there is a whole lot more to this story than the public is being made aware of. I have my own speculations, there are too many inconsistencies with the whole damn ordeal. Could it be that this kid just got sick of all the high and mighty living that she was forced to live? The huge amount of pressure that is placed upon Mormon kids to be perfect is overwhelming to most of them. That is why the suicide rate is astronomical out here. They cannot live up to the pressure. Maybe she was pregnant, maybe she ran away. Maybe she was kidnapped by this Mitchell guy (and he is truly nuts)and now suffers from the Stockholm Syndrome, who knows. I, for one, have a hard time believing that this guy was only around the family for a 5 hour period, then came back months later to take this child to be his next "wife". It does not add up. NOne of it adds up. We most likely will never know cause this family has too much money to allow anything else to TARNISH their so called "perfect" World. There is something definitely not "right" with the whole situation.

Mormonism is not a cult. visit http://www.lds.org
---> before you judge a group of people or a Church, try investigating about it first. The faith and prayers of this family has been heard by God. What happened is a great miracle and it's a proven fact that these people, these mormons have been found worthy in the eyes of God because of their faith, commitment and obedience to His will for them.
One thing that is wrong with people is that sometimes they tend to be so proud and so wise of their knowledge of what they believe is right, they judge and judge but they lack respect for other peoples feelings and true character. These people who you call a cult are also your brothers and sisters, and your fellow citizens. Why do you judge them and treat them so bad? IS it because you know that they are very forgiving and won't fight back? Maybe that is the reason. But this is not right and you know it. You should judge those who have committed crimes and have proven guilty in your cities. But give them fair judgement, according to what they have done. Do not judge those who are trying to make this world a better and safe place. I know many mormon people who done a great job in my community, and they are very honest hardworking people. They are the best of friends you can ever have in this life.

I agree to what you have said. All the Mormon prayers have been answered, maybe, on Elizabeth Smart. The local news in the Midwest is saluting the ?news? as a miracle. Without a doubt, God has intervened in behalf of Elizabeth Smart. The fact that she has been found after all these months PROVES that God answers prayers, particularly for Mormons. And it all happened to this wonderful, wealthy Mormon family! Praise the Lord! It was God?s miracle.
I know a lot of mormons too and yes, they are very good people.
