COLORADO CITY — There are new indications of turmoil after an end-of-the-world prophecy from polygamist leader Warren Jeffs. Some say people are scared in the Utah-Arizona border town of Hildale/Colorado City.
Reportedly, Jeffs is predicting the end-of-the-world sometime before New Year's Day. He's made similar predictions before. But, this time it's in a worrisome climate as his followers have been repeatedly warned and threatened to prove their righteousness.
Many residents of Hildale & Colorado City were shocked to find three of the most prominent businesses suddenly closed- the only grocery store, the hardware store, and even a Radio Shack.
Imprisoned FLDS leader Warren Jeffs reportedly issued a Doomsday prophecy last Sunday, according to former member Isaac Wyler.
Also, it was reported that Warren Jeffs has banned oatmeal, turnips and dairy products, but sources are not sure why.
"From what I've heard, there was a prophecy that the lifting up would occur before the end of the year," Wyler said. "All the righteous FLDS people would be lifted up and everybody else would be destroyed."
FLDS people believe in a literal, physical lifting up when the apocalypse comes.
Even insiders are scared, according to private investigator Sam Brower. His sources say a warning from Jeffs was read aloud last Sunday to the so-called United Order.

“turnips are just darn disgusting.”
No, they’re not. You can steam them, and mash them just like spuds. Great with butter. salt and pepper. They are also great in stir fries. There are a lot of ways to cook them, and you have obviously had the nasty ways of cooking them!
Anyway, like I was sayin’, turnips is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey’s uh, turnip-kabobs, turnip creole, turnip gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple turnip, lemon turnip, coconut turnip, pepper turnip, turnip soup, turnip stew, turnip salad, turnip and potatoes, turnip burger, turnip sandwich. That- that’s about it.
Might just be a porcupine.
I thought that you shone the light of humor on our dismal situation. I feel better, already.
Why should the end-of-the-world prophecy be more alarming to our witless citizens than another four years of Obama? These people still don’t get it.
Would ugly women mean the majority? It is sad, but the pictures I’ve seen are not kind to them.
The end of the world and the new heaven and the new earth don’t occur until the end of the Great Tribulation and the beginning of the Millennial Kingdom. Since the Tribulation lasts seven years, the end of the world cannot happen this year or next year.
So do a lot of Baptists.
The last time they were lifted up they got as high as the tree tops and old man Sorensen lit up a cigarette and they all came crashing down.
I suspect they might not be as ugly as they appear if they lost all that braided hair and wore normal clothing.
A bit of makeup might help.
Ping to the Inmans.
We are only sixty miles away from Colorado City. Maybe I’ll go over there on December 21 to watch the lifting up. I hope for certain the ugly women disappear.

LOL Binger. I’m betting if he gives a date it will Dec 23 - ol’ Joe Smith’s birthday.
The End Is Near.
Well you were close it’s actually...
The End Is Beer.
Seriously, there have to be some really weak-minded people in FLDS land to fall for this stuff.

I have been involved with helping women who leave polygamy for several years. My husband is one of the few lawyers who do pro-bono work for those leaving polygamy. And I’ve been to Colorado City/Hilldale. They are totally brainwashed, if they aren’t they are kicked out with absolutely nothing.
Even the strong ones who leave, it often takes years for them to heal mentally, physically and spiritually.
These people need prayer above all else. Jeffs is beyond evil and this ‘reformation’ is directly taken from Brigham Young’s ‘reformation’ that coincided with the Mountain Meadows Massacre.
Expect another Jonestown or massacre. Expect blood before this is over.
I remember reading many years ago that the people who run Colorado City had full auto machine guns hidden out in the mountains behind the city, just for the end times.
Yep, and they still believe in Smith/Young’s doctrine of blood atonement. Easy to hide bodies with no birth certificates.
Damn MORMONs!
Can't they leave the Mayan culture ALONE????
WOW II
I’m more ‘worried’ about Chevy, as they seem to come at me from every direction these days!
Toyotas; too!
F?
What's "F" got to do with it?
It's the LDS part that makes folks "fall for stuff"!
It DOES?
Where?
Since there are 24+ time zones on Earth at any moment, and 2 days as well, this part is ABSOLUTELY true.
