The person you do know is Joe Smith who is a such and such at the local First Baptist Church.

Now, that's funny!

I have tried and tried to clean up the fonts on the post I had the moderator delete at #290, to no avail.

Here is a link to a very thorough article on the FLDS and their move into Eldorado, and some predictions of what may happen there, for example:

"He said the temple rising in Texas could be linked to Jeffs’ apocalyptic preaching as well as his sense of himself as the final Mormon prophet.

“Warren has predicted the end of the world twice already this year. He’s also said that ‘the destructions’ will come sometime between the laying of the cornerstone and the completion of the temple,” he said.

“I believe those who say the temple is patterned after the Nauvoo temple, which brackets the death of Joseph Smith and the exodus (of the Mormons) to Utah from Nauvoo. So you can read all this disturbing stuff into it, these apocalyptic underpinnings,” he said.

“He compares himself to Joseph Smith at Nauvoo. Smith was martyred (there), and Warren sees himself as a victim and a martyr, and it’s all coinciding with God’s plan for destruction,” he said.

One excommunicated follower who asked not to be named said, “I think personally, an analogy to Jim Jones would be closer than one to David Koresh. He won’t go out guns firing. It will be suicide.”

“And if he gets backed into too bad a corner, he’ll take them all with them, those that will go,” he said of the faithful. Full article
