Warren Jeffs trial pinglist--if you want on or off, let me know via freepmail!

From the article posted above:

She said she was a spiritual wife of Jeffs' father, Rulon Jeffs, and when he died in 2002, Jeffs wanted to marry her along with other women who had been "married" to Jeff's father.

. . .

"I will break you and I will train you to be a good wife," Musser said Jeffs had told her, and then said he would marry her in a week. She left the FLDS before that happened.


And so goes the "wholesome, happy life" at the fLDS.

The first time I met a large group of polygamists at once was at a company picnic for my boyfriends father’s company. They were all from different groups and some were independents (no prophet affiliation).

What struck me is the men would never talk to me, so I had to relay questions through my boyfriend, and the women would not respond to a question I asked unless her husband gave his approval. Even then the women were very closed mouthed, very controlled, very broken. They were the saddest people I have ever seen. One woman said in a conversation, “This is the only way to get to the Celestial Kingdom, so I do what I am told”.

Now I have seen this kind of control and abuse in the Mainstream Mormon church, but not quite to this degree.
