Polygamist heard on tape training girls for sex

KTUL ^

[LouAvul]

Prosecutors seeking life in prison for convicted polygamist leader Warren Jeffs closed their case with a final barrage of graphic audiotapes, records of 24 alleged underage brides and writings that ordered followers to "fight to the death" when police eventually came for him.

The same jury that convicted Jeffs last week of sexually assaulting two of his child "brides" could now hand down their punishment early as Tuesday. Even in prison, he could continue to lead the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Among the final pieces of evidence was an audiotape of Jeffs having sex and one of him telling five girls to "set aside all your inhibitions" as he gives his child brides instructions on how to please him sexually.

I like what you wrote except for one thing - often when men are this controlling with young people they are hiding their own homosexual tendencies. He might enjoy being a “child bride”

The rest of America at the time would not tolerate them.

Yeah!!

Them GENTILES were KILLING us and BURNING us and EATING our babies; all with permission of the GUMMINT!!

Even though a LOT of DIED on the trip to ZION, our PROPHET (BY) was to be OBEYED!

Note the eyes.

I don't know if the guy truly had crazy eyes... but in fairness, those eyes may just be an artifact of the photography. Back in those days, exposure times were sometimes out to several seconds and people had to sit very, very still. But the eyes would commonly blur out from even slight movement. The photographers often had to "paint" them back in during the printing process.

Audiotapes? Who makes audiotapes of their sex sessions?

Well as the FLDS (and to a lesser extent LDS) say “if it isn’t recorded on Earth, it isn’t recorded in Heaven” (that’s an actual quote).

[allmendream]

Who makes audiotapes? The same kind of person who did the act in front of witnesses inside their "temple"! Including the child's own mother! Sick doesn't even begin to describe it.

[Ramius]

Woah... is that pic for real? Wow. That’s messed up.

[reaganaut]

Sadly, yes that pic is real.

[allmendream]

All too real.

I was going to post the verdict too, but you already beat me to it. Just heard on the noon news and headed for FR.

“If the world knew what I was doing, they would hang me from the highest tree,” Jeffs wrote in 2005.

And his brain-dead followers...

Thanks for looking that up. I thought it was scarier though....must be thinking of “WHATEVER YOU DID UNTO ONE OF THE LEAST, YOU DID UNTO ME “ Which, when I just found it, had to do with random acts of kindness.

The principle is the same, good acts or bad.

[metmom]

Demon eyes in the photo.

Matthew 25:31-46. It goes both ways.

[Elsie]

Indeed!

EVERYone makes VIDEO ones these days!

Re: Pix of temple bed

And to think we even had FR posters like HD1200 defend the fLDS' explanation of a temple bed back in April 2008.

I also seem to recall some borderline questionable commentary by CharlesWayneCT on such temple beds, but since I don't have a specific comment in front of me (like I do HD1200)...I'll let CharlesWayneCT weigh in now as to how he feels about all this three years after the fact.
