Even though he is serving a life sentence for child rape, cult leader Warren Jeffs is still controlling his followers from behind bars.
The leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has reportedly directed his cult member to continue following his directives in bizarre ways, ordering cult members that men cannot have sex with their wives, that parents must throw away their children’s toys and that teenage girls are not allowed to have cellphones.
He’s written a new book based on “revelations from God” and has sent copies to the members of his breakaway Mormon sect from the Texas prison where he is serving his life sentence.
According to the Salt Lake Tribune, cult members are still following the word of their imprisoned leader, as toys like bikes, trampolines and all-terrain vehicles are being dumped by the roadside near FLDS bases in Colorado City, Arizona, and Hildale, Utah.
Jeffs lived at the Colorado City compound which now has about 5,000 residents. He was convicted of sexually assaulting two young girls he took as “spiritual brides” when they were 12 and 14 years old.

Hey! If he can't have any....NOBODY is getting any or having any fun!
What a freaking monster! They could not even release what he says or allow contact with the outside world.
Kody and other polygamist communities don't see the connection between Jeffs and themselves, naturally. "Oh we would NEVER do that!"
ReplyDeleteIf you have a system where everyone depends on one man for revelations and authority, this will happen sooner or later. Maybe it's not in Kody's nature to be this controlling. Maybe Kody doesn't lust for 12-year-olds. But the system he supports, the absolute authority of the Father to get everyone into the Kingdom, eventually devolves into Jeffs.
Kody demands signs that his family obeys him (*emergency* move to Vegas.) How is that different, in practice and disruption, than Jeffs demanding the destruction of all pets and toys, and the cessation of sex between couples?
One more thing -
ReplyDeleteAs soon as Kody starts favoring the wives and children who agree with him (Meri, Robyn, Logan) and subtly condemning the members who don't (Hunter, Christine) he is behaving EXACTLY like Jeffs.
He does, doesn't he?
ReplyDeleteTAKE away his writing privileges, and let him not speak to the outside world before another Jim Jones is at hand.
ReplyDeleteMy gosh, can you imagine the people dumpster diving for the toys?
ReplyDeleteWHY are these people following him?
ReplyDeleteIf you don't believe the whole Joseph Smith followers... take your pick..FLDS, AUB, TLC, Bountiful, etc, aren't cults...
THEN why are these folks not snapping out of the mantras he puts out there?
It's so obvious to us...
but we weren't brainwashed since birth. Just like the book above.
Thank you lord, that I had christian parents. That I didn't have to believe that Joseph Smith's garbage was part of the bible. WHEW!
And the FLDS women are rejoicing!!!!
ReplyDeleteWait a minute...no sex...no more little poligs.... YES! this might work! thanks Jeff.
