Polygamist Compounds


I'm not quite sure I fully understand them. Oprah gave an update on the compounds about a week ago and interviewed them to recap how life is in their living situation. One woman described it by saying "your life doesn't make sense to us just as our life doesn't make sense to you" which was a really good way of putting it. I can't fathom why one would WANT to live that lifestyle when there is so much more out there in the world that they will never see. For example, this blog, which makes it perfectly acceptable for me to post this about them. They believe that their life here is solely to make sure they have a good life with the "Heavenly Father" as they kept referring to him as. Now I have no problem with anyone following their own spiritual beliefs. That is what America is all about. A melting pot of cultures, religions, races, etc. So no, this post is not about my concern for their religious beliefs. It's more about my concern for the many teenage girls and boys out there who will not ever experience the magic that is the internet. No FACEBOOK!?!?! Are you serious. Come on. One last thing I'm not sure I understand which Oprah did mention.. THE HAIRSTYLES?! "It's just the style!" The ladies seem to feel that this is the best look they have going for them so I decided to try it out:
