And Electric Amish, I know you still don't care. ;)

Give me 8 months with a 14 year old and I bet you I could mind f$#&^@#ck them into a pretty freaked out state. Not uncommon in abductions like this.

This guy could market his techniques at taming the wild teenage girl. :)

Have you ever tried to tell a teenage girl what to do?

What i can't believe is that the media is criticising the police now. I watched dateline (or one of those crappy shows) last night and they spent ten minutes talking about the "obvious facts" the police missed. I hate to say it but, hindsight is 20/20 and the police were doing quite a bit to look for her.

What a bunch of religious nuts. But as much as they're the ones responsible for kidnapping Smart, Smart's parents weren't very bright either to just hire the guy off the streets to fix their roof. I mean, just because the guy was preaching, doesn't mean the guy has a good heart. The guy is a total nut.


Does anyone know for a fact whether the Smarts or the abductors are Mormon?

You're right about hindsight, and it isn't uncommon for people to lay out this type of criticism after something like this happens. It's like, "Well, duh... you should have seen that." It makes the story more sensational, and therefore is more likely to draw viewers.

The abductor is an insane man that thinks he is the messiah. The Smarts are Mormon.

LOL :p
The Smarts are Mormon, the principal abductor is an ex-communicated Mormon who has proclaimed himself as some type of prophet or Messiah. However, I fail to see why anyone's religious views should be on trial here. All that really matters is that a crime was committed, namely that of taking a minor from her parents without their consent.

Mormons believe strongly in helping those less fortunate. Nothing wrong with that, but it often extends to allowing transients into your home. When you have teenage daughters, I'd think twice about that.

Why you laughing at me, boy? I'm serious.

I wouldn't be suprised if they really were Catholics... with so many kids....

do Mormons also practice anti-contraceptives?

A lot of religions strongly believe in helping those in need. It's the practicing part that tends to trip them up.

A photo of Elizabeth Smart
and her suspected abductors
was taken in San Diego,
California, by tourists, who
said the trio looked unusual
enough to merit a picture.

they certainly were not going for the inconspicuos look...

I know, and I have no problem with it. But considering the amount of homeless who are mentally ill, I think there might be better ways to help than letting them into your home(the approach Mormons seem to prefer).
