FLDS Plans to Build Giant Monument of Warren Jeffs

By R. Leigh Coleman | Christian Post Reporter

A flock of devoted followers within the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints are shunning the fact their leader was sentenced to life in prison for sexually assaulting underage “wives.” The sect is reportedly making plans to construct a three-story statue in honor of the now convicted felon, which will tower over their isolated desert compound.

FLDS members say they plan to erect a huge metal monument to reflect the likeness of their imprisoned leader, Warren Jeffs, an anonymous source tells The Daily Beast.

Jeffs, the polygamist leader sentenced to life in prison this week for sexually assaulting underage followers, was found guilty for the rape of two underage children he calls “celestial wives.”

Investigators now know that Jeffs had 78 known spiritual marriages, with 24 being under the age of 16.

The jury deliberated less than half an hour to render its decision, but hundreds of FLDS cult followers remain under Jeffs' spell.

“The (statue) project is secret, or as FLDS terms it, a ‘heavenly hush,’ which means that anyone who discusses it will be kicked out of the sect,” the source told the news.

The inside source also told the news that those members building the statue believe that this is their “way of showing the world that they can’t take him away from us.”

The short poem’s a winner! (But you owe me a new keyboard! No coffee-spewing warning, tsk tsk.)

This group are pikers. If they gave ObaMao 80% approval ratings, they would be invited to the white house for dinner, be called a great religion, part of the American fabric and able to keep on doing what their doing.

It would be politically incorrect to criticize them.

Hopefully, this is part of their wish list and will NEVER HAPPEN...

Not to attribute too much common sense to the welfare folks, but in their defense, these are not legal wives. They are “spiritual” or is it “celestial” wives. Hence, they are single mothers in the words of the law.

Ironic, isn’t it, that Jeffs himself might find himself being a cell-estual “wife” in Huntsville. ;)

Yes they are single mothers - I just wish some welfare reform would include looking at the father of the children and insist on support and if he can't support them, let HIM do some "community service" picking up trash or fixing playground equipment to help pay for the government support of his children.

And I like the idea of Jeffs having a prison wedding...

A question: those big air tankers that dump water on forest fires...what’s their maximum capacity?

Next, I need 1 volunteer ex-bomber pilot. Then I need about a thousand more volunteers to collect all their urine for a couple months; put it in plastic jugs and leave them set in the sun.

Finishing touch will be the giant speakers installed on the aircraft and have “Flight of the Valkyries” ready to play.

Don’t forget to put it on Youtube...

For such a big statue wouldn't they need a permit? I am sure the locals don't want Warren looking at them. Deny them the permit to build it. I think they all need to go to jail. I want the sister wives who held the little girl down put on trial. The parents who toss away their sons & toss their little girls into perverts arms need to be held accountable. Crazy cult of perverts.

“At least the statue can’t rape little girls”

Please, don’t give them any ideas!

Yep. Sounds like the beer talking.

In the real world I could see after hearing the verdict - the bevy of baby brides sobering up and saying, “What are we going to do with all these beer cans?”

Well it is a reason to stop the building, if it is going to be built.

Ol’ Jeffs will have a lot of spiritual or celestial wives in jail (or more like he will be their wife but instead of underage girls they will be big burly dudes). In the prisoner code of ethics pedophiles are bottom of the barrel and there’s always somebody who wants to make a name for himself by taking out a famous (or infamous) prisoner. I doubt he will last that long in jail.
