I've said that I'm against any sexual activity involving people under the age of consent in Texas.
That said, I don't buy your definition of "brainwashing." If any group that says, "if you don't do this you're going to hell" and "you have to follow the men in charge" is engaged in criminal activity, then Pope Benedict is as guilty as the FLDS. Lots of religions regulate sexual activity. Lots of religions hand down strict mandates. Lots of religions have patriarchal hierarchies. Doesn't mean the state has the right to take their kids away.
