When was the last time the religion of choice was held accountable for the death of some anti-science/ anti-vaxer's kid due to lack of medical care? Answer: Never. The court system tries and convicts the parents.

Same principle applies here. As far as I can tell, the individuals who participate in this fucked up cult are there of their own free will, which is why this guy has probably been allowed to carry on with his little clown show.

If you want to stop giving power to douche bags like this, then figure out what and who fuels their agenda. Without willing participants, this guy is likely just another obscure loser still living in his mom's basement at the age of 52.

At some point, adults need to be held responsible for making adult decisions. And that includes being held responsible for joining fucked up polygamy cults.

The only real victims here are the kids, who have no power of self choice and are not cognitively developed enough to say no.

Looks a lot like Mormons, Amish and other groups considered cults?

Weak women to demean themselves.

I read a narrative by a former female member of this cult or one very much like it in New Zealand. Very depressing to see fundamentalist ideology rampant in an otherwise attractive, progressive democracy.

Why oh why is it always men who do this things. For once I would like a woman who will convince men that they will go to hell if they do not obey her every whim.

He should be imprisoned for life.

New Zealand has it's fair share of gurus, plus idiot followers, prepared to put their lives in the hands of these sexual deviants, acting in the name of religions dogma......
