See link below for article about testimony given by the daughter at the trial of her parents, charged with kidnapping her just before she was to be married in the temple. The parents sound uber-TBM (even if the father is named after a Book of Mormon villian) and simply went off the deep end.

New details of LDS parents kidnapping temple-bound bride
"Moving beyond apologist persuasion, LDS polemicists furiously (and often fraudulently) attack any non-traditional view of Mormonism. They don't mince words -- they mince the truth."

Wow! Scarey!
They got abusive with her and she apparently got pregnant on her wedding night! Sounds like me and my wife!
"They told me Perry was evil and wicked and abusive," Myers said, referring to her fiance, now her husband.
Interesting. I kind of wonder what went into that?

Religion is ignorance reduced to a system.

Okay they did not want her to marry the jerk so they kidnapped her???
I wish my parents would have kidnapped my stupid sister....so she did not marry the asshole she is married to now..
I do not understand completey what happened unless,,,,the guy was abusive and her parents were trying to save her..
in that case I say good for them...

Man, those two (the parents) are weird. Hopefully this'll be a "wake-up call" that you can't treat legal adults like that.
