All I have to say is ANY woman that chooses a man (using THIS word loosely) is not much of a woman to begin with!

I must agree that I have never heard a better description of battered spouse syndrom than the social worker's speech to the women in the kitchen.

They probably were brainwashed, but a mother's first instinct is to protect her child. Brainwashed or not, I would kill someone (no matter who they were) for treating my child the way those children were treated. Those women were adults who chose to bring children into their screwed-up world. They should be held accountable for allowing these sick things to happen to their children and not protecting them.

I was so angry when I saw those women choose him over their children, what's even more upsetting is this actually happened! I don't care if they are "brainwashed" or whatever you want to call it, they know the difference between right and wrong (we ALL do). There is NO reason that these women should be pitied, the ONLY people I pity in this whole situation are the children. Those women have no business having children! You are supposed to protect your child, not let some nut torture and molest them. The excuse of being "brainwashed" does not fly with me, if you want to harm yourself then fine, but when your actions are affecting someone else (especially your child) then you should be punished and not pitied.
shareI think it is too easy for us to judge.
I think they bought into the dream. I think it changed little by little and soon they were over their heads.
We all think none of us would ever do this. But history shows, we do. We want to belong, that is what makes us function as a society.
Actually, no .... only sick people behave like this. As a mother, I know that what comes first are my children .... no matter what. Parents who don't put their kids first are very, very ill.
Unfortunately, cults prey on sick, insecure and weak people.
Very, very disturbing.

Exactly. They believed in a different type of existence/consciousness. Their brood wasn't really an extension of themselves like we, in regular society have it. Completely different mentality, so our regular methods/reasons of judging cannot be applied here.
We've met before, haven't we?
I'll assume you've little experience with religious people and the bible, because then you would know that it is not uncommon for "God" to call upon his "subjects" to maim or kill family members and the "followers" obey because it is the voice of "God". In this case, Moses was speaking "God's will, and the girls obeyed. That's how stupid religious people are, the potential is always there, lying just below the surface. Once you accept one illusion, it can only get worse...
