Polygamy, Rape, and Religious Conspiracy
By Paul Davis
What do polygamy, rape, and religious conspiracy have to do with one another? Meet the Mormon Church and disciple Warren Steed Jeffs who calls himself a prophet and revealer of "God's will." He is a perverter of truth, who like his father the devil, cleverly twists and distorts Scripture to serve His own ends (Psalm 91:10-11; Matthew 4:5-6). Jeffs is a modern day example reminding us that false religious doctrine is a poison pill infecting society.
Warren Steed Jeffs (born December 3, 1955 in San Francisco, California) is the President of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. FLDS is one of a number of sects that broke away from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when the LDS denounced polygamy in 1890. As president of the FLDS Church, Jeffs is considered by faithful members to be a "prophet", "seer", and "revelator of God's will" on behalf of humanity.
Here again is another case in point of how false doctrine leads to perverted living and human rights abuses. Erroneous doctrinal interpretation of Holy Scripture has long time been used by wicked men who pervert the truth to serve their own lusts and commit crimes against humanity.
Nowhere in the Bible does God Almighty endorse polygamy. On the contrary, in the beginning Adam was given one wife in the form of Eve. God did not give to Adam two women. No! It was one wife for one life. Later over time kings and rulers in their own lust took more women for themselves and historically always suffered the consequences for doing so. Their judgment was perverted and leadership misled due to numerous women and a multiplicity of ill formed alliances.
Polygamy is not godly. Trying to legitimize polygamy as a God thing is demonic and deadly. If you don't believe me, read below the life of Warren Jeffs to get one candid and clear picture of the horrific effects of erroneous interpretation of Scripture to gratify one's own lusts at the expense of other human beings.
In May 2006, Warren Jeffs was placed on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution (of state charges). Jeffs was apprehended by Nevada Highway Patrolman Eddie Dutchover on August 28, 2006 just north of Las Vegas during a routine traffic stop. He was immediately charged with evading police custody and several counts of "Accomplice to Rape" for arraigning under age "marriages". There are no state records of a Marriage License being issued in the cases involving 13 and 14 year old girls. He is believed to have had sexual relations with a minor, but neither the State of Arizona nor the State of Utah has brought those specific charges yet
In June 2005, Warren Jeffs was charged with sexual assault on a minor, and with conspiracy to commit sexual conduct with a minor for allegedly arranging, in 2002, a marriage between a 16-year-old girl and a 28-year-old man who was already married.
On July 19, 2006, Britain's Channel 4 ran the documentary The Man with 80 Wives. The program featured presenter Sanjiv Bhattacharya searching for Warren Jeffs, unsuccessfully, in Colorado, Utah and Texas. Filmed before Jeffs was put on the FBI's 10 most wanted list, the documentary features interviews with one of Jeffs's brothers as well as with several excommunicated FLDS members.
In 2003, Under the Banner of Heaven was published, a book written by Jon Krakauer documenting the history of both the LDS church and its spinoff sects, focusing largely on the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The book described illegal activity in the (Fundamentalist) Church, mainly polygamy and statutory rape.
The fugitive polygamist sect leader was caught in Las Vegas near the end of August, 2006. Nevada state troopers found one of the FBI's most wanted fugitives, along with wigs, cell phones, laptop computers and more than $54,000 in cash, on a highway north of Las Vegas, authorities said.
Polygamist sect leader Warren Steed Jeffs, 50, is being held without bail in the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas, Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff said. Jeffs initially gave the troopers an alias before acknowledging who he was, said Steven M. Martinez, FBI Special Agent in Charge of the agency's Las Vegas office.
Jeffs faces charges of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution in Utah and Arizona, sexual conduct with a minor, conspiracy to commit sexual conduct with a minor and rape as an accomplice, according to the FBI Web site.
He has been called a religious zealot and dangerous extremist by critics and former members of his church. God help Mr. Jeffs to discover the true heart of Jesus, repent for his gross wrongdoing, and reform his theology and lifestyle. Life in prison certainly will put an end to his polygamist and rapist tendencies, while ensuring young girls that he won't be on the streets preying on them as the child molester he is.
The Mormon Church has done much harm in society by the propagation of its polygamist doctrine and concept of heaven, the latter of which they still espouse and hold to in the afterlife. The Mormon's also used to consider black people cursed by God too. Doctrines of devils and a synagogue of Satan the Bible calls the Mormon Church (1 Timothy 4:1-4; Galatians 1:7; Revelation 3:9).
Warren Jeffs is a perfect example of one "full of all subtilty and all mischief, a child of the devil, an enemy of all righteousness, not ceasing to pervert the right ways of the Lord (Acts 13:10). God help him and those he has victimized.
Take heed unto yourself, and be careful concerning what doctrine you believe. Continue in the truth of God's Word (adding nothing to it as the book of Mormon does; and taking nothing away from it as the Jehovah Witnesses do who deny the diety of Christ): for in doing this thou shalt both save yourself, and them that hear you [read 1 Timothy 4:16].
He that walks uprightly walks surely: but he that perverts his ways shall be known (Proverbs 10:9). There shall be like people; like priest (Hosea 4:9). In other words people become like the Pastors and Priests who see over their souls and spiritual life.
Therefore God rewards and punishes you accordingly based on the type of "church" you choose to attend and submit your soul to. Save your soul and stay far away from the Mormon Church and its proselytizers knocking at your door with plastic smiles and phony religious titles.
