Warren Jeffs (pedophile) |

I was struck again by Warren’s bizarre, almost indecipherable syntax - -
“Let all nations be of holy order of cleansing child,
unborn youth order, murder from own nation; to survive conflict soon on world,
. . ”
I pity anyone who might be called upon to translate this
gibberish into a different language.
I know that FLDS leaders have gone to great lengths to keep
the members from hearing news stories about Warren. Frankly, I would be more concerned about them
reading Warren’s recent nutball
material, lest they discover that their “prophet” is rowing to the beat of a
strange deck of bricks.
Is that what this has come to? Is there a significant number of FLDS
faithful who have been so pummeled into cowering obsequiousness, that they
cannot tell the difference between reality and insanity? Would they read this balderdash and fawn over
its content as if it were divine?
I think about the dozens of young women who have been
forcibly confined to “houses of hiding”.
Do their parents assume that all is well with them, simply because Warren
decrees their continued imprisonment?
Brigham Young said the following:
“What a pity it would be if we were led by one man to
utter destruction! Are you afraid of this? I am more afraid that this people
have so much confidence in their leaders that they will not inquire for
themselves of God whether they are led by Him. I am fearful they settle down in
a state of blind self-security, trusting their eternal destiny in the hands of
their leaders with a reckless confidence that in itself would thwart the
purposes of God in their salvation, and weaken that influence they could give
to their leaders, did they know for themselves, by the revelations of Jesus,
that they are led in the right way.”
The current FLDS dilemma is a breathtaking fulfillment of
Brigham’s fears. I want to know when
it started. How was one president of
this community able to hijack the free agency of an entire society? I would say that this phenomenon is played
out equally in the LDS Church,
yet if President Monson instructed all the elders to take a plural wife, the
entire membership would defect before sunset.
Not so in the FLDS.
Do not be fooled into thinking that this is strictly a case of
Warren-worship. Had a different man –
say brother Lyle – been the one to succeed Rulon, HE then would have become the
presumptive “prophet” and mouthpiece of God.
It matters not who sits in this role – the idolatry centers in the
worship of the iconic station. The people
yearn for the cozy, comfy reassurance that the guy who presides over the church
is the conductor of the train that is taking them straight to the Celestial
Kingdom. Nothing else matters. Follow him and you will automatically be
saved and exalted.
Bottom line – right now, the vast
majority of the sheep in the fold are complying with every word which proceeded
forth from the lips of Warren. The media are even reporting that Warren
recently selected a small group of men whose assignment will be to perform all
of the copulation and impregnation tasks in the community. Would you comply?
Warren
is fixated on being sprung from his incarceration. If, by some cosmic anomaly, Warren
were to find himself back in Creekerville, would he be warmly received? Would you take him back into your trust? Would you hand over your 13-year-old
daughters so that he can have midnight
orgies with them?
I am saddened by the immense
oppression being foisted on the community by state and federal government
agencies. Every department of the town’s
local government is being investigated.
The townspeople must conclude that this is a case of the wicked
persecuting the righteous. Some might
conclude that God is just trying to get their attention for having blindly
trusted in the perverted arm of flesh.
You decide.
What will it take to get the
honorable men and women of the community to wake up and realize that they have
been led miserably astray? This is the epitome of apostasy. These are choice Israelite children of the Restoration, and now they are now fully steeped in idolatry. Thankfully, it seems there is now a steady stream of defectors who are waking up and risking everything to come out into the sunlight of truth and freedom. God bless them!
