    Thank you, I got my pencil ready to write my SPAG's and there weren't any.

    there were a couple of possesive apostrophies missing but I forgot to add them in the notes, I will go back and let you know. I didn't think they were a big deal.

    I went back to check and I didn't find anything to correct. Good job!

Action flows smoothly. Story line easy to follow. Yes, the world does change in 50 years. Descriptively well written and held reader's interest throughout. Write on.

Just a few grammar nitpicks. "Uncle Buzz"
The old truck appears on the narrow road(;) instead of comma people are pushing it.
without persecution from the states (Could you omit this? one reason I was told is) because of state lines being in the middle.
I liked the content and story very much.However, I think I would have liked it better if you said, "I was three." instead of "am three". I felt like the sophistication of your language did not coincide with the language of a child who was three. The past tense would make it look like past thoughts allowing the sophisticated language to work better. Let me know your thoughts. T2

I thought this was excellent. I like how you describe what is happening in the first person. It's like I'm listening to a story being told around a campfire. Excellent job.

For the first time in a very long time I am speechless. This is really well written but you ought to go back, take your time and do some editing that needs to be done. I feel bad for any mistreatment one human being does to another. I do not understand it and Maybe I am thankful that I don't. Thank you for having the strength to share your stories with me in particular and 'us' in general.

Thank you so much for sharing something so personal and something that many people only hear about in documentaries. It is sad that so many women become trapped involuntary in such a lifestyle. Hopefully you will share more on this and make more people aware of what goes on in what I believe to be cults.

    Green Jello, Great name.

    Thank you for your reply.

    It is typical (I think) for religion to turn to cults. In the long rum everyone suffers.

cbat, this is the first of your work I have read--I have been off FanStory for about three years, and am just now returning. What a shameful episode you relate! It must have been horrible to go through. I assume that conditions are much better for you and your family now--yes?

I know that this is a chapter indoor book, but wonder if it is at the beginning, middle, or end. I did not find a number on the chapter.

I am glad that you can now tell about these things, and we can learn about them.

Congratulations!

    Thank you for reading and responding to my story.

    I have in the last month also returned to Fan Story.
    I was born in this little town, this story was before I married, probably the beginning of my writing.
    I have written quite a few chapters, they are not exact as to when they were experienced.
    My mind hop's around

    I lived this religion for almost 50 years, having left and finally found peace. Much of the religion is now Cult.

What a great story and thanks for sharing your experience. I think now that gay marriage is becoming legal across the country, polygamist finally have a great argument. Which is why people were so afraid of legalizing gay marriage because they knew what could be the next challenge. And it's suddenly here in all its glory and its, "Polygamy". Feminist would go ballistic if polygamy became legal.

    Because I lived and had children in polygamy, marrying a boy I did not know with him obtaining other wives I now look back and see little beauty in such an arrangement.
    Gay on the other hand I have experienced also. I believe that an uncle was gay.
    Also having just lost a gay foster/son, I fight for gay rights. He had a beautiful love story.

G'day mate. I am finding your stories very interesting and they are giving me an insight into a culture that is totally foreign to me.. One SPAG....

"The Raid was a scar on the State authorities because of they(the) way people were treated.

    I like your accent, is it authentic?
    I appreciate your review, I may be learning grammar better this way.
    Just one correction at a time.
    It has taken me quite awhile to realize that my beliefs are "Cult" to others.
reply by Walu Feral on 22-Mar-2015
    LOL. It is authentic indeed. I think if you just take one correction at a time then it will be less stressful at least that's how I found it. When I firstjoined fanstory the list of corrections I got from reviews were longer than the poems, it almost made me give up.

    As far as the cult thing goes, if it doesn't hurt anybody then it's not a problem. I have read the book of mormon.

    Thank you for replying again.
    Living in a religion based on the Mormon religion (polygamy) in many persons eyes (mostly men) it doesn't hurt anybody is way off.
    I grew up in it, got married in it and until my baby was 15 struggled in it.
    I do not have one of 15 family members that have survived in it.
    As in most religions the instigator Joseph Smith thought it was the Holy thing to do.
    As you notice Mormon's have stopped the polygamy saying it is for the afterlife.
    Believe me it is hurting people.
    Sorry to much information.
    It is fun talking to you.
reply by Walu Feral on 22-Mar-2015
    You never have to say sorry to me mate. There was a breakaway section from memory, it may have been Brigham Young I think from memory who carried on the polygamy. But no need to be ashamed my friend, it is not our choice where we are born. It sure wasn't my choice to be born into a family who put me in hospital with various injuries 15 times before I left home at 14. It wasn't my choice to be raped for 9 of my first 14 years. So we just have to do the best we can and survive. We also can't dictate what other people feel, believe or think. I think you are great and I'm proud of you. If I can help with your poetry please let me know.

    The religion grew I up in was a break from Mormon's.
    The religion I was in for two thirds of my life was a polygamy one.
    My great grand father was a bodyguard to Joseph Smith.

    I "thank god" I do not have a religion now.

    Thank you for your reply!
reply by jlsavell on 21-Mar-2015
    so do I, thank God that I am not swayed by the dogma or doctrines of religion in any sect. I, however, believe in a divine being whose thoughts are higher than our thoughts and vision or promise for mankind is beyond any comprehension or dream mankind can acquisition without being labeled as delusional or insane.. kind of like Moses. eh????
