FLDS is left without a leader
Houston Chronicle ^ | June 21, 2008 | LISA SANDBERG and TERRI LANGFORD

Al Holm lived his entire life as a member of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints — until he confessed two years ago to being addicted to online porn sites and was expelled.

Now, contrite, lonely and grieving the loss of his family, he's trying to work his way back into the secretive polygamist sect.

But he can't find anyone with the authority to pardon him.

"Adding the entire text for the record."

For the record, you've violated the "Fair Use Doctrine" and stolen someone else's hard work.

It seems day by day, the story keeps turning out to be true.


” Wisan is in charge of deciding how to use the trust to compensate some of the 1,200 or so former members who contributed to that wealth but left — either after being expelled or departing on their own — with nothing.”

Exactly. Their property and money was stolen from them by Warren, as they left the ‘community’.


“For the minority who seek compensation, Wisan said, the decisions can be wrenching. “Families were moved around, broken up, wives reassigned. “

By Warren and Willie.


“What strikes many is the grip the church maintains on even the men who have been tossed out and stripped of everything — their families, property and way of life. Men like Holm, the long-distance truck driver.”

And the fathers who are trying to get their children back.
