CRANBROOK, B.C. — A former member of a fundamentalist sect testified Friday about growing up in a British Columbia community that practises polygamy at the trial of a man charged with the alleged removal of a girl from Canada in 2004 to marry a man in the United States.
“The only honourable way to leave the FLDS is to die, and I’ve known that since I was a baby,” she testified at the trial by judge alone. James Oler is charged with removing a 15-year-old girl from Canada to marry a member of the fundamentalist sect in the U.S. Related The Crown witness said she was taught by religious leaders to fully obey the family priesthood head — her father as a girl, and her husband after she was married.
