Jeffs sent to hospital but stays only briefly

Well, it's been 7 years now. Why hasn't the actual "rapist" been brought to trial. Are they trying to run out the statute of limitations clock, and pull a fait accompli vis a vis Jeffs, knowing they've got nothing on Allen?

Check your calendar, it's only been 2 years or so since he was caught and tried in Utah.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. It took me about 3 seconds on Google to find out the Steed case is currently going forward and discovery should be in a couple days. Understandably, this case hasn't been profiled as much in the media.

Warren Jeffs said he's not a prophet and never was a prophet. He's a pathetic, sick, old, creepy man. But those who hate the FLDS will not be satisfied until ALL the FLDS community - including children and babies - have been thoroughly humiliated and severely punished.

Noone is humilating the women children and babies of the FLDS except the FLDS.

To to Fresno,
Yes because it was so affirmative of the humanity of the FLDS to call 36 year olds minors, to refuse to believe birth cirtificates and drivers licenses, to round them up into Fort Concho and take away their phones after they complained about conditions to the media, to tyr to claim that broken bones proved a pettern of physical abuse and on and on and on. If the YFZ raid was not humiliating and dehumanzing, than it is hard to imagine any thing that is.

Don't let Brother Jeffs die like that. He did his best after all those years of following what his father taught him. He never left his home to see how the rest of the world went. He is a victim as well and one who did wrong. But it was wrong by association. Give him a pillow to kneel on. Offer him savory as well as sweet liquids for a diet. If he dies, we will all view him as being a martyer. The sisters have already begun to worship him in private. They were ordered to by their husband.
