FULL TITLE: Warren Jeffs tells followers to 'prepare for end of the world' by January 1 as experts warn it could mean something sinister for the sect loyal to a convicted sex offender
Followers of cult leader, Warren Jeffs, who is behind bars for sexually assaulting young girls, are reportedly preparing for the end of the world tomorrow, after their former leader warned of Armageddon before midnight.
The only supermarket and major meeting point of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints community across the movement's key sites - Colorado City, Arizona, and Hildale, Utah - has been closed, and an expert in the sect has warned CNN the preparations could be a dangerous signal.
Sam Brower, a private investigator who represents more than 100 former FLDS members, said law enforcement officers will monitor the situation in Jeffs' community closely - rather than just dismissing it as another false Armageddon warning from the radical preacher.
The consensus seems to be that Warren is indicating that by the end of the year, the end of the world will be here', he told CNN.
Alluding to the proclamation's sinister implications, he added: 'Jim Jones, Koresh - history has showed us these things happen when religious zealots take charge of a group of people.'
The community, which has up to 10,000 members worldwide, appears to remain loyal to their 'prophet' even though he is serving life plus 20 years for sexually abusing children.
CNN reporters approached residents to ask them about Jeffs' alleged latest claim but they refused to comment.

Didnt they get the memo ???
The world ended last week...Dec 21...
Warren is a False prophet...
They must be on a FLDS calender...or have a different Maya calender.
They drank the Cool Aid long ago, they just have not fallen over yet.
Somebody’s taking this fiscal cliff thing way too seriously.
Another one to be added to the short list.

At some point in the future, mankind will end.
The world will continue to exist.
My personal belief is that man will be the cause of his own extinction, but I don’t know how or when or if I am even correct, it’s just my own theory.
I can picture the poor hen’s bulging eyes!
1809 AD
Mary Bateman, who specialized in fortune telling,
had a magic chicken that laid eggs with end time
messages on them. One message said that Christ
was coming. The uproar she created ended when
she was caught forcing an egg into the hen’s oviduct
by an unannounced visitor. Mary later was hanged for poisoning a wealthy client.
Warren, your world has just begun. Think about it.
What is Warren Jeff’s last name?
I don’t think that God would create a world to last just 6,000 years plus change.
I may be wrong but Mormons are rarely suicidal. They mainly wast a ton of food preparing for the end times. I doubt we would see a suicide pact. Most likely further isolation of the community. Although I don’t know how that looks at this point.

Do you know if this is an offshoot of LDS?
They follow true mormonism as Joseph Smith taught. SLC Mormons are really the offshoot.
“Didnt they get the memo ???
The world ended last week...Dec 21...
Warren is a False prophet...”
I was surprised there wasn’t a cult somewhere that didn’t commit mass suicide that day
He’s off by three weeks. Jan. 21 is hit the fan day.
Maybe they just have not been found yet.
If you die it will be the end of your world and a good thing.
GTH and burn.
Thanks!
