Polygamous sect has cast out 1,000 youths so older men can have three wives

US: Up to 1,000 teenage boys have been separated from their parents and thrown out of their communities by a polygamous sect…

So...apparently...a big part of Mormonism is finding dead relatives and baptizing them (obviously without their permission). So, if anyone does that to me I will personally haunt you forever, have a nice day

STUD part 2. Is there any basis, either in early mormonism or someplace else, for the oppressive characterization ACD puts forward? Feel free not to post this on the blog if you'd rather not open the can of worms! I wonder if ACD had heard something, or just let his imagination run.

I think this is a valid question, so I’m going to post it to see if any of our readers have more knowledge about the subject than I do.  

He does seem to paint them with a fairly terrifying brush doesn’t he?

Has anyone studied this or have anything to add? (You can send it as an ask anonymously or not and I can post the answers)  I will tag it #mormanism if anyone wants to block it.

“At the simplest level, the promises of transhumanism are pretty much irrefutable, even humdrum. Of course technology will improve on human frailty. That process began centuries ago—look at eyeglasses and peg legs. But in the eighty-nine years since the British biologist Julian Huxley, the founder of the World Wildlife Federation and brother of Aldous, coined the word “transhumanism,” the movement has reached far wilder heights of prognostication. Some transhumanists have suggested that we may eventually become immortal, as medical science outpaces disease. Others speculate that our corporeal beings will one day be made inorganic. These predictions may seem, to the uninitiated, like the absurd stuff of science fiction, but they will surely gain social acceptance as the tech titans of Silicon Valley push transhumanist ideals. If the import of Google’s decision, in 2012, to hire the futurist Ray Kurzweil hasn’t sunk in, pause to consider the fact that the second-largest company in the world (by market capitalization) has a director of engineering who believes that humanity will conquer death.”
