Sounds like a great way to go.

Quote:
In January 2004, the local religious leader, Warren Jeffs, expelled a group of twenty men, including the mayor, and gave their wives and children to other men. Jeffs stated he was acting on the orders of God, while the men expelled claimed they were penalized for disagreeing with Jeffs. Observers stated that this was the most severe split to date within the community other than the split between Colorado City and Centennial Park.

According to the Utah attorney general's office, this was not the first time Jeffs was accused of expelling men from the community; as many as four-hundred young men are estimated to have been expelled by Jeffs from 2001–2006. Most were removed for failing to follow Jeffs' rules, or for dating women without his permission. These expelled men and boys, many very naïve and sheltered, often wound up homeless and using drugs in nearby towns such as Hurricane, Utah.[6]

Most of the property in the town is owned by the United Effort Plan, the financial arm of the FLDS.

The Colorado City/Hildale, Utah area has the world's highest incidence of fumarase deficiency, an extremely rare genetic condition which causes severe mental retardation. Geneticists attribute this to the prevalence of cousin marriage between descendants of two of the town's founders, Joseph Smith Jessop and John Y. Barlow; at least half the double community's roughly 8,000 inhabitants are descended from one or both.[7]

great idea

step 1. Take as many wifes as possible
step 2. Don't use birth control and have as many kids possible
step 3. If anyone wants to marry your kid they must convert and follow steps 1&2
step 4. Everyone must contribute to the leader



sounds like a great business plan with lots of room for growth. Wish I would have thought of it. way to go Mr. Smith.
Look up the song about him from Depeche Mode pretty cool

Don't forget, when you have young daughters and some other old dude has young daughters that you want, no big deal, you trade daughters and then make them wives.

I guess men like Mr Jeffs place their religion above their country.

Anything wrong with that?

Warren Jefferies gets.......

Just where do we draw the line between religious freedom and law of the land?

Should we allow female circumcision, live animal sacrifice, or even eating human flesh?
