1. more:

Investigators say that Colorado City, Ariz. is a community that's been living in servitude and secrets. The Arizona Attorney General's Office and the FBI began investigating reports of child abuse, domestic violence, incest and polygamy that stem from a powerful congregation called the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS) and its leader, Warren Jeffs.

According to the FBI, Jeffs took control of Colorado City ten years ago and over time started similar communities in Utah, Texas, and Mexico. Mojave County Attorney General's Office investigators say that Jeffs' teachings and sermons were designed to keep his flock loyal, unquestioning, and living in fear of reprisals. For years, law enforcement officials were unable to move against Jeffs since his followers refused to testify against him.

Authorities say the main reason why Jeffs remained so powerful in Colorado City was his implementation of the one-man rule. This was a break from traditional Mormon doctrine in that, rather than a committee of appointed priests and bishops calling the shots, Jeffs was the absolute authority in the community.





And this makes him different from Pat Robertson how?

3. From the hole in the doughnut
meaning New Mexico, the one area he's avoided so far, the word out seems to be that he has his flock of pedophiles and slave women convinced he's god. It's another Waco in the making, several compounds full of Apolcalypse addled religious lunatics following a charismatic cult leader.

Jeffs is a bad guy. I hope they get him soon and peacefully, but I've got a very bad feeling about this one.

2. Probably hiding in Orrin Hatch's office
This guy just freaks me right out.

What in the world makes those people follow that nutcase?

His followers aren't poor, uneducated folks like those of Jim Jones or Koresh.

Man, that religion stuff can mess people up.

4. The only thing I know about him is that he looks exactly like several
guys who used to hang around at school dances and occasionally ask a girl to dance only to hear her say, "uh, no, can't...I'm washing my hair right now."

7. Another Waco waiting to happen
This cult has a compound in Texas and some think that is where Jeffs is hiding.

Sound familiar?
