I'm fascinated by it too! I did the same thing as you after I started watching it and I did a lot of online searching. It's really interesting. I agree they are very dedicated to thier religion to live the way they do. It would be hard. Most of the girls wouldn't know differently though. They are spoken for when they are still children.

When I was doing some searching I came up with a site called something like "the lost boys", and it talked about the young boys kicked off the compounds so they wouldn't become competition to the older men. Thats what happened to Bill in the show. Thats probably why he would have such difficulty with his oldest children. he wouldn't have had an example.

Rhonda's character really is evil. She is like Nikki but without a soul. I like her character a lot though. I kind of like Roman's character as well even though he is obviously the bad guy.

Do you think the Greenes will come back? I can't imagine that the show is done with them. They were even stranger than the Juniper Creek people. I liked how Hollis always talked on the phone like he was writing a letter. And his brother / sister Selma was strange. Its obviously a female actor, but Hollis refered to her as "my brother Selma". You would think it wouldn't go with their religion for a woman to dress like a man.
