We re Just Sayin
"Big Love" Keeps it Real?

The ladies on HBO's polygamist drama "Big Love"...

... and female members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at the Yearning for Zion Ranch.

Only one of them represents the real housewives of Schleicher County, Texas.

We're just sayin'!

46. Except for the clothing the cult don't look any different than any other brainwashed, brain dead old bitty's that go to any church in this nation.

47. by a mom-
Yes, people did DIE...because of their own stupidity and ignorance.
Oh, and by the way, I HAVE both a 5 and 6 year old - and they could talk your ear off and dnot about trivial things like "favorite colors". Heck, even my 2 year old has more to say than that!

48. "I went to school in Utah for two long, agonizing years. When guys (good Mormon boys, each and every one of 'em...) found out I was not Mormon, but in fact a "Gentile" (their word for any non-LDS believer) I was shunned."

I had the same experience. If you are not LDS or FLDS (Yes, I understand there is a difference) then you are evil. It sucked!

50. A few years back I worked with a man - highly intelligent, I might add - who was part of one of these sects but left as a young adult and never returned. I must say, he was the most unusual person I've ever met. Not of this planet, believe me. Always walked around with his arms crossed over his chest. I understand he later went on to be one of the leaders of some polygamous group.

I respecst anyone's right to choose a religion as long as it doesn't harm others. And obviously Jeffs people are problematic.

51. The picture of the real wives is really sad to me.

52. OK, they wear prairie dresses and don't cut their hair. And obviously don't wear Victoria Secret ........ but it sure looks like several of them use tons of hair spray to stiffen that cliff in front. So I guess they allow hair spray????

53. Clad I agree, I was prepared to not like it and not watch but all it took was for one episode to hook me! Do you know when it is coming back?

56. Lisa-
It has been renewed, but because of the writer's strike, production was shut down. I want it to come back, too!

57. Why?!?!?!
I understand the whole threesome, foursome, and crazy stuff like that...........
but this is weird.
Look at these poor women...... they do not look happy.
whatever floats your boat, but this is stupid

58. Sadly, this is why some people can't handle living in a free society. At least they kept to themselves for the most part. I know the traditional Christians can't stand government oversight when it comes to their own flocks, but boy do they whistle a different tune when confronted with this in their backyards. And yet again, the kids suffer.............oh no, is it? I believe it is, it's DR. PHIL wishing to do an episode on 'kids of cults!' Hey, he only wants to do his part to help the tykes.
