Polygamy Meets Big Brother
The West Texas jury deciding the fate of polygamy cult leader Warren Jeffs listened through headphones to 21 minutes of heavy breathing yesterday. Some in the room wept. Others held their hands over their mouths. The X-rated recording, a cornerstone of the state’s child-sex-assault case, allegedly chronicled Jeffs’ encounter with a 12-year-old girl, an episode that ended with the self-proclaimed prophet declaring, “In Jesus Christ, amen.”
The jurors heard an almost inaudible voice. “Amen,” echoed the child.
It got worse. According to prosecutors, Jeffs and his new “celestial wife” were not alone. A dozen of his most trusted men were witnesses to the “sealing.” It was a family affair: At least one of Jeffs’ other wives, his purported favorite, Naomi, was also in the room. “What are you feeling?” Jeffs asked the girl. And in a moment that froze everyone in the courtroom, she answered meekly, “Very well, thank you.”

And to think this creep used the name of Jesus while doing his dirty deed!
I know vengence belongs to God and I can’t have it. But I rejoice that these little girls get justice. Now I hope the state goes in and gets those kids. He’ll be naming a new prophet and this stuff will continue.
Plus, there are other men doing this same thing. When you see videos of the “families” walking into the temple you don’t know who are the wives and who are the kids?

Oh, how I wish I could see his face when the woman judge nails his butt.
They’re saying stuff is going to come out in the penalty phase that’s going to curl your toes. Said “You ain’t see nothin’ yet.”

I guess he’s going to learn that reality is a bitch for someone who thinks they’re a god and can do anything they darn well please and nobody can touch him.

Stupid questions, designed to change the subject. The subject is child rape/molestation, and according to state laws.
