Warren Jeffs' accuser no longer anonymous
37 comments | Read story
Many Christians did terrible things throughout history. Were all Christians bad?
He was trying to make the point that not all people behave the same way in the same circumstances. I doubt very much that all those who have a family history of plural marriage will have stories of abuse and/or neglect. When it was instigated by the Prophet Joseph Smith, very few people practiced it.
It is a law that would be very difficult to live, although if they brought it back, I think I would vote "yes". It would be great to have help in the kitchen, laundry room, and taking care of the children.
I know people (even now) who recognize those who are members of polygomist families, but I would never think of it if they didn't point them out. They are not bad people, but their leaders are causing them to do something illegal; i.e. Warren Jeffs told his people not to pay property tax. I'm pretty sure that's illegal.
THIS ACCUSER IS ABOVE THE LAW
ABOVE STANDARD POLICY OR
ABOVE PROCEDURE
THIS IS HOW THE SECULAR AND RELIGIOUS KINDERGARDEN-CHURCH-STATE AND GOVERNMENT OPERATES
KINDERGARDEN PROCEDURE TO BE EXCUSED...THE [FLDS] KINDERGARDEN PRINCIPAL i.e. W.Jeff will read the note for you to be excused.
You'd better write or note or SIGN a note written by a third party to be either (a) excused from anything or (b) terminated from the army, SEPARATED OR DIVORCED, OR whatever...

What's fueling this growth is retirement communities being built all around this area, and these same developers would surely like to get their hands on this church's other properties around there as well. Which is the REAL reason this entire persecution of Jeffs and his church began in the first place after over 100 years of the government leaving these people alone when their land wasn't worth the dirt it sits on... (continued)
Because he's not worth diddly squat, that's why, and they're only interested in taking away this land from Jeffs and his church.
And no, I'm not a Mormon and I don't think Jeffs a prophet and I don't care for this church. It's just that I hate BS, and I love the 1st Amendment freedom of religion clause, and I hate corrupt government and their greedy lobbyists, like the ones who want Jeffs land.
ACCUSER FAILED NORMAL PROCEDURE
If you want: (a) FLDS Execuse from anything, (b) "FLDS Annulment, (c) FLDS Separation, and/or (d) FLDS Divorce, you put it in writting and service it to the FLDS leader for action.
If you failed to do so, you will "FALL TRHOUGH THE CRACKS OF THE [FLDS] SYSTEM."
The Accuser failed to write a letter to the appropriate secular and FLDS authorities; therefore accuser fell throught the cracks of both systems, Secular and FLDS Systems.

That gives me the creeps. Warren Jeff is a dog.
Jeffs might be a wack-o, but it is pretty weird that he even has followers. ????
I am amazed at how many people who write either do not read what they wrote before they push the enter button, or don't know when they are or are not making a complete and understandable sentence, or do not have a train of thought in their paragraph that is easy to follow. Some of these are hard to understand. A few misspelled words or typos are not what I'm stumbling over.
Punctuation, grammer, the noun and verb, etc. in the sentence are not just boring things we were compelled to pretend to learn in English classes. They actually help you write your thoughts so the reader can understand you. Isn't that why you write your ideas? So someone else can know what they are?
The whole matter could be solved quite easily by simply releasing pictures of their wedding, or when they were together after being married, etc.
This gal never even went to the police first; she went to a CIVIL LAWYER first to see what kind of money she could get out of Jeffs. This was the first person she ever claimed to that she was raped. Then the lawyer advised her that it would help her case if Jeffs was first convicted in a criminal court. The lawyer is famous for going after religious people.
This thing stinks to high heaven, and I'm not even Mormon but I know a person being railroaded when I see it.
Don't let ignorance fool you.
She was a CHILD!!!!
So does Arizona, provided a Superior Court judge witnesses it.
And all Jeffs told the young lady is the same thing Apostle Paul, speaking through the Holy Spirit, states in the Bible:
"Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
The wife hath not power over her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power over his own body, but the wife.
Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and to come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency." - I Corinthians 7:3-5, The Holy Bible
Jeffs was railroaded because of this area of his land having the highest increase in the country in land value since 2000, something which has not been reported, of course.
Hello?
She had the right to say "I don't."
And something for the so-called law professors to ponder, and that is if the government claims that a so-called 'child' cannot lawfully consent to sex, then how is it that they can lawfully NOT consent to sex?
And I see today that they've finally realized the contradiction they were in, the law, in charging and convicting Jeffs but not having even charged the alleged RAPIST, so they apparently have now charged her former husband with ONE count of rape today. The problem with this is that they convicted Jeffs of TWO counts of rape.
Why then haven't they charged her former husband with TWO counts of rape?
The entire think reeks to high heaven, IMO.
Also I agree with putting this guy behind bars but her request for the $110 million trust to cover her legal fee's is quite ridiculous. There is no way her legal fee's cost that much.
She's definatly a victim but I hate it when people try to use their victim status to run off with loads of cash. A couple mil maybe, but not 110.
Elissa didn't want any restitution. Not even counseling!?
The
book kept me mesmorized and I just gobbled up the last 1/3.
My name is Mary Gonçalves, I am from Brazil and fortunately we don´t have these kinds of absurds here.
