You people who are in favor of this guy need to take the time to research before you make some of these comments... this is not new news, it's old news and way past time to do something about it....

This whole sect and the story behind Colorado City and Hilldale was even in a movie years ago with Helen Hunt when she was a young girl -- Child Bride of Cross Creek (This area was called Cross Creek at one time)...

It would take volumns to tell the story of this place and these people and these women and children and the abuse they've endured because of Jeffs and his father before him...

I really have a lot of faith in the total veracity of Helen Hunt, and Hollywood producers to get the "truth" out..

I'm sure that Jeffs and his cohorts are total "butt-heads", so to speak, and abused their authority status as religious leaders..

I'm also sure there are any number of "offended" people and "victims" out there that have embellished their accounts in order to justify larger settlements in court..
And, if they have a choice between a monetary settlement, and standing up for their personal honor, they'll take the money every time..

A very good book about Mormon Fundamentalism is " Under The Banner Of Heaven". By Jon Krakuener (sp.
There is also some good info to be found on Rick Ross' website about cults. Rick provides a lot of links to those who have left the polygamy cults.
