Living in St. George, Utah, can be unusual at times! Although St. George, is primarily a Retirement Community, it is also located about 40 miles from the largest Polygamist Community in the United States. The Polygamists often Shop and Work in St. George,
and are easily noticed by their distinctive clothing. The Women wear long dresses, and
long hair, while the men wear long-sleave shirts, buttoned to the top button, even when
it's 110 degrees! Yesterday I was talking with a 20 year old Man, who was
excomunicated by his Polygamist Community (2 Years Ago)! How sad that this Young
Man isn't even allowed to speak to his Mother, Father, Brothers, or Sisters! It must
be terrible to be shunned by ones own family!

It is sad and I wonder how these people manage to stay out of jail.
I've read some awful things about them.
Not because of the polygamy but because of the one-man rule and their treatment of the young people.
The World we live in, is truly Amazing!
