Yesterday the self-proclaimed prophet of the FLDS Church was sentenced five years to life in prison for arranging marriages with minor girls. He still faces charges in Arizona where his community of believers are located.
This jerk forces young girls to marry older men and demands that disgruntled wives remain with their abusive husbands and learn obedience. Nothing from God is forced. God wants us to come to him on our own with a heart that is open to him. Living in fear and abuse in a so called Christian environment is not of God.
Kudos to the women who had the backbone to testify against this demon. He taught fear of the outside world. Those who ventured far from their boundaries were at risk of being doomed to hell. The outside world was so contaminated that heaven would be lost to them. I believe there is no evil in the outside world that can match the evil of one who exalts himself to power in the name of God. The same goes to televangelists who enjoy a lavish lifestyle with offerings from the poor. If the coffers are full, use the money to help those in need!
Perhaps Warren Jeffs can experience his kind of abuse while serving his sentence in prison. He is most deserving.

Your book critic would be appalled at the women who would allow this kind of abuse since she couldn't understand how Ellis would give Simon second and third chances.
There is a special place in hell for men like that.
Let's hope he learns some things while in prison.
