Ex-FLDS members fear that their children are being abducted by radical Mormons to make pedophile prophet Warren Jeff's prophecy that kids would return to church come true

Former members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints believe their children have been abducted by the Mormon group in a twisted way to fulfill a prophecy of its disgraced leader.

Four mothers, Lorraine Jessop, Miranda Johnson, Elizabeth Roundy and Sarah Johnson, believe their eight missing children did not run away, as court records suggest, but are, in fact, being concealed by their former church.

The FLDS is a polygamist offshoot of Mormonism best known for its prophet Warren Jeffs, who is currently serving life in prison for sexually assaulting girls as young as 12.

Jeffs remains the church's leader and is releasing prophecies from behind bars, experts claim.

In one prophecy made last June, and seen by ABC News, Jeffs calls for children of ex-members to come back into the fold.

Law enforcement officials have said they believed the children ran away. While they are listed as missing people in a national database, no criminal charges have been filed in connection to their disappearance.

Lorraine Jessop, whose three youngest children, Nathan, 16, Summer, 13, and Benjamin, 12, have been missing since February 2023 told ABC she believes the 'church authorities' have taken her kids.

'I checked on them at midnight,' Jessop, 42, said of the night her children disappeared, 'and my daughter was awake. And I thought, "That's odd."'

'At 5 in the morning, I awoke to a cold house because the front door was wide open and the kids were gone,' Jessop continued. 'It was horrifying.'

'I feel like that either someone took it upon themselves or were told by church authorities to gather up these children,' Jessop told ABC's Nightline.

Another mother, Elizabeth Roundy, 49, alleges her children were also taken by the church.

Anyone here an expert on the FLDS? Would they do something like this?

Warren Jeffs would, yes. Why that SOB is allowed to continue breathing escapes me.

Why did Jim Jones tell his followers to drink the Kool Aid? Those with power do not easily give it up. Looking for rational behavior in a cult is folly.

None of these people are associated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day saints (aka Mormons)

This title is misleading and wrong.

See my tagline and remember it when anybody tells you what they're saying is a prophecy or is from God. That's the context of 1st Thessalonians 5:21.

And it's probably good practice to test anything anyone tells you before believing it.
