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.”

Yeah, either them or how about the Mann act? Half of those little girls were Canadians.
They could put it right beside the temple peering into the third floor windows and ....
I gotta go. Sorry. Bye.
I’d like to see a modern version

Because when those women apply for those government checks they say what they truly are: unmarried mothers...
Their status is the same as the girls in the projects
and their immoral behavior about equal...
(The girls in the projects are more honest...)
Those praire dresses might hide some things...
But theres no modesty or virtue to cover...
Funny you would say that, we were just saying the other day that the men and women in these cults are no different than the fence jumping dogs in the ghetto - allowing various men to father their babies and the government to support them.
