SAN ANGELO, Texas - The story of Warren Jeffs and polygamy in America did not start when Texas Rangers raided the YFZ Ranch and it will not end with Mr. Jeffs' trial here in San Angelo. The truth is, the history is long and the stories plentiful enough to fill-up libraries.
But listening to many of the talking heads on the networks and cable shows these days, you would think that they personally had just discovered this strange and secretive world through their own hard work and diligent investigation.
And that's shameful. Not only does it wildly embellish their roles in this long and twisted story for their own self-aggrandizing purposes, but I believe it also sort of gives everybody else a "freepass" for having not paid attention to this chronic and systematic abuse of women and children that dates back right here in our own beloved country nearly two centuries.
The culpability and dereliction of duty of dozens, if not hundreds, of Utah and Arizona cops and elected officials over the years is even greater. Their lack of involvement and action constitutes nothing short of willful ignorance and, in many cases, outright complicity. But that discussion for another day.

From what I have read previously - God is a much better writer than THAT! ;)
Oh WOW
Joey Smith’s name and all the words to d&c 132
Yes, including the section about how polygamy is the path to godhood and how any woman who commits adultery is to be “destroyed”.
“Revelation of the lord jesus christ given to president Joseph Smith Jr July 12, 1843, doctrines and covenants section 132”
and then all of 132 is included
From Joeys mouth to Warrens ears..
These are the verses that Jeffs underlined
I cant cut and paste them from that link so I had to go elsewhere
verse 7 and 45
7 And verily I say unto you, that the conditions of this law are these: All covenants, contracts, bonds, obligations, oaths, vows, performances, connections, associations, or expectations, that are not made and entered into and sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise, of him who is anointed, both as well for time and for all eternity, and that too most holy, by revelation and commandment through the medium of mine anointed, whom I have appointed on the earth to hold this power (and I have appointed unto my servant Joseph to hold this power in the last days, and there is never but one on the earth at a time on whom this power and the keys of this priesthood are conferred), are of no efficacy, virtue, or force in and after the resurrection from the dead; for all contracts that are not made unto this end have an end when men are dead.
45 For I have conferred upon you the keys and power of the priesthood, wherein I restore all things, and make known unto you all things in due time.
Well, that’s just mind-boggling. Can’t wait for his next motion...(that’s sarcasm, in case anyone wonders).
No. That's what he wants. Warren Jeffs is not special. He's a run of the mill sociopath lashing out against authority. Judges run into them all the time and are pretty well equipped to deal with them. Judge Walther is doing a fine job. Kudos to her.
Just like Charles Manson and his cadre of freaky chicks - he knows he's going away.
He's not thinking about evidence or anything legal. He's thinking about striking out and landing blow after blow on the authority that is sitting in front of him.
Jeffs knows what he did was illegal.

Thats why he ran from state to state moving his hartem with him, one step in front of the lawe.. hiding out...
Hes just doing the same thing as Joey Smith did
Smith took over a little town, chamged its name, crowned himself king and mayor and Lt General of his own army and made his own laws in order to have his harem compound away for the US laws on bigamy...
Never thought of it that way Nana, but you know, you’re right.
Do you know off the top of your head where this tradition of keeping dictations started? Was it with Jo Smith?
Ping to #55—for the “you gotta read this to believe it” file!
You are right, I just scanned it, but it IS a different version I think.
Now off to go find my old Mormon ‘quad’ with D&C132 in it...
Glory to God, Pebcak. This is an issue God has put on my heart and I do it for Him.
Can’t wait for his next motion...(that’s sarcasm, in case anyone wonders).

I can’t. I’m serious. I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time and I’m used to dealing with the LDS and FLDS.
Do you know off the top of your head where this tradition of keeping dictations started? Was it with Jo Smith?

Well, not throughout history, but within Mormonism and it’s theology yes. Smith started keeping dictations of his revelations fairly yearly on, although some (like D&C 132) were not released immediately.
At the time of his death only 59 (IIRC) of his 140 or so revelations had been made public.
You do not understand MORMONthink.
GOD has said those things, Jeffs is merely the mouthpiece.
Say in these MORMON threads on FR and you'll see this over and over.
Oh you know they may be different
I didnt compare them..
This is just WONDERFUL timing for Mitt’s campaign....[snicker, snicker]
19. Let there be held responsible they who did these acts
20. Let CPS investigate the same, being a full way of truth.
Elsie are you able to cut and paste the version of d&c 132 from this link that Reaganaut gave us in #55 ???
its the latest Jeffs motion..
He included d&c 132 as his proof
:)
