This probably has more to do with the fact that, at around the same time (2004), Warren Jeffs started demanding huge financial contributions (as well as contributions of girls and young women) from the Short Creek community to finance the YFZ ranch community. The Short Creek community is in major disarray, due to internal FLDS issues as well as the seizure of the United Order assets to fulfill judgement against Warren Jeffs.
Correction: that’s the “United Effort Plan” (UEP), which was theoretically modelled after the 19th century Mormons’ “United Order”.
