How about just members. I mean, you use the word flock to illustrate their inability to think on their own don’t you? If that were the case, while spending several months outside the church - don’t you think one or more than one would have talked about the injustices you make up or others manufacture ? One?

“If that were the case, while spending several months outside the church - don’t you think one or more than one would have talked about the injustices you make up or others manufacture ? One?”


Sure. Here’s one.


It was Jessop who announced that the FLDS church leadership was apparently ready to give up the practice of marrying underage girls, a practice that Jessop had denied any knowledge of the week before.

“The church will counsel families that they will never request nor consent to any underage marriage,” said Jessop.

Ross Chatwin is a former FLDS member who grew up with Jessop and faced him down when he was kicked out of the church.

“If they say ‘counsel’ then they’re just playing a game and they plan on continuing with underage marriage,” warned Chatwin. “And it really worries me when Willie gets up there and starts saying that ‘I don’t know of any underage marriages.’ That’s an absolute lie.”
“They will put him up front because he’s the type of guy that will say and do anything,” said Brower. He said that the real leaders of the polygamist group, Lyle Jeffs, William E. Timpson (a.k.a. Willie Jessop), Wendall Nielson and Merril Jessop, are all in hiding.

Willie has been left to be their voice to the outside world.

“His role is to be out there, keep talking to the public, keep talking to the media, while the real leaders vanish,” said Brower.
