Monkey Face, as you know, to Mormons there are two categories of what they/you label as "apostates":
(1) ex-Lds;
(2) all members of Christian churches...a "corporate" charge of somehow being a part of a church body that the Lds church says has gone "apostate."
Warren Jeffs falls under neither of those banner umbrellas, so that's a false accusation of yours! (When you make a false accusation, you need to repent)
Jeffs has NEVER been a member of a Christian church; likewise, like most fundamentalist MORMONS, Jeffs has NEVER been a part of the Lds church. Most fundamentalist Mormons left Lds by the 1930s or early 1940s. To find an actual adult who's done that means finding people in their late 80s or 90s!
From the article: In all, lawyers connected to the case have estimated that approximately 1.7 billion pages of evidence was taken in the raid.
Think of the top-security Lds Granite Mountain Vault located in Little Cottonwood Canyon. In five of the six chambers, there's normal stuff you'd expect to be there: Mostly genealogical records and historical church records/items. But in that sixth most secretive chamber lies "evidence" of real historical Mormon crimes and limited cover-ups. Diaries. Journals. "Content" removed from wider circulation. Financial records. Post-death marital sealing records where Mormons have "married off" to each other people who are already dead! Quite a "who's who" list actually! Etc.
If authorities could nab 1.7 BILLION pages of fLDS evidence in a Texas raid, just think what a law enforcement raid on the Little Cottonwood Canyon vault would turn up.
I guess his little squigglies were not all that effective, considering how many CHILDREN he had!

JESUS: Hey Smith! Remember that boast you made about doing more than even I had done to hold the 'church' together?
JOSEPH SMITH: Where am I?
JESUS: Don't you remember? A few seconds ago you were in that jail.
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh; yeah; but where am I NOW?
JESUS: Don't you remember? Does bang - bang ring a bell?
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh; yeah - that crummy gun I had was about USELESS!
JESUS: I hope you left instructions on how to hold your church together.
JOSEPH SMITH: Dang! I knew there was SOMETHING I was forgetting!
JESUS: Looks like there's a power struggle going on down there.
JOSEPH SMITH: Yeah; there was always SOMEone who wanted the power that I held - especially over the LADIES - wink wink.
JESUS: No need to worry about that now; remember what my friend Matthew wrote down?
JOSEPH SMITH: This? “At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven” (Matthew 22:30)
JESUS: That's it.
JOSEPH SMITH: I thought that was mistranslated.
JESUS: Nah - it was right.
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh well; it was fun while it lasted. My buds will still get it on with the girls.
JESUS: Uh; I'm sorry; in just a few more years; your followers will cavein to the United States government and abandon the 'Eternal Covenant' that you came up with.
JOSEPH SMITH: ME!? YOU are the one that told me to do that!
JESUS: Sorry; but you must have mistranslated what I told you. What part of Do NOT commit ADULTERY did you not understand?
JOSEPH SMITH: mumble....
JESUS: What did you say?
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh, nothing.
JESUS: Well; it was interesting talking to you; but now I must get back to perparing a place for those who believe in Me.
JOSEPH SMITH: Oh, yeah; the Celestial Kingdom.
JESUS: No...
JOSEPH SMITH: The Telestial one?
JESUS: Nope.
JOSEPH SMITH: SUREly not the TERRESTRIAL one!!
JESUS: Nope. Didn't you read that the mind of man had NOT conceived of it? Paul wrote it down in 1 Corinthians 2:9.
JOSEPH SMITH: I thought that was mistranslated.
JESUS: No; it wasn't.
JOSEPH SMITH: You SURE?
JESUS: Yes. Now I must be going: what did you say your name was again?
JOSEPH SMITH: Joseph Smith.
JESUS: Hmmmm. According to my Heavenly FAITHbook, you didn't sign in as one of my friends - sorry, I never knew you.
JOSEPH SMITH: But....

THE
DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SECTION 132
51–57, Emma Smith is counseled (commanded) to be faithful and true; 58–66, Laws governing the plurality of wives are set forth.
51 Verily, I say unto you: A commandment I give unto mine handmaid, Emma Smith, your wife, whom I have given unto you, that she stay herself and partake not of that which I commanded you to offer unto her; for I did it, saith the Lord, to aprove you all, as I did Abraham, and that I might require an offering at your hand, by covenant and sacrifice.
52 And let mine handmaid, Emma Smith, areceive all those that have been given unto my servant Joseph, and who are virtuous and pure before me; and those who are not pure, and have said they were pure, shall be destroyed, saith the Lord God.
53 For I am the Lord thy God, and ye shall obey my voice; and I give unto my servant Joseph that he shall be made ruler over many things; for he hath been afaithful over a few things, and from henceforth I will strengthen him.
55 But if she will not abide this commandment, then shall my servant Joseph do all things for her, even as he hath said; and I will bless him and multiply him and give unto him an ahundredfold in this world, of fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, houses and lands, wives and children, and crowns of beternal lives in the eternal worlds.

That’s always been my screen name. I don’t forsee changing it any time soon.
And to think i was miffed when they herded the kids out of there. This is some sick crap these people do. Evil. Boy, was I blinded by ignorance of what they are.
sigh.
There were quite a few FRreepers who were "blinded".....as far as I know, you are the only one to has publicly mentioned it. Thanks.
This cult was begun in the early 1800s by Joseph Smith and the polygamy was his "revelation from God" to enable him and his cohorts to "marry" multiple girls and women.
The Flying Inmans daily post articles regarding Smith's mormon church which you can find HERE
Preaching to the choir, dude.
Jeffs is nothing but a child predator. Period.
It’s as good a name as mine, and as long as you are happy with it - that’s fine.
I’ve had dudes try to use mine to try to get under my skin, but they failed.
Now the real pervert emerges!
Guards like money and payoffs. I somehow think he’s going to get it real soon. Prisoners don’t like prisoners who go after kids.
What horror waking up next to any of those creeps! No wonder the wifes cry. ewww-wwwww.
Well, most folks think the name goes with a guy, but I let them think that until they really get ugly.
I could have chosen worse.
