SALT LAKE CITY - Imprisoned polygamous sect leader Warren Jeffs has released a series of so-called revelations in which he says a succession of natural disasters will strike the U.S.

The 55-year-old Jeffs was sentenced to life in prison this year for sexually assaulting two girls whom he took as wives when they were 12 and 14 years old. He released his apocalyptic predictions to the Utah attorney general's office on Monday.

Jeffs' apparent prophecies included tsunamis on the East Coast and in Seattle and earthquakes and volcanoes in Utah and Arizona. He also says that Idaho "shall be as a melting fire."

Attorney general's spokesman Paul Murphy says Jeffs is suggesting the calamities are God's revenge for putting the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints leader behind bars...

From the article: Imprisoned polygamous sect leader Warren Jeffs has released a series of so-called revelations in which he says a succession of natural disasters will strike the U.S. He released his apocalyptic predictions to the Utah attorney general's office on Monday. Jeffs' apparent prophecies included tsunamis on the East Coast and in Seattle and earthquakes and volcanoes in Utah and Arizona. He also says that Idaho "shall be as a melting fire."

Anybody like East Coast New Wave music?
Seattle garage grunge bands floatin' around?
Fire & Ice sung by Pat Benatar in lavaland as Idaho waxes down to a meltdown?
The Grand Canyon becoming grander as Utah & AZ are split by major quakes?

Here's the curious part: So the fLDS "prophet" "releases" his prophecies to the Utah attorney general's office. And then what? The Utah attorney general's office then acts as the Public Relations office for Jeffs as a "prophet?"

Really?

Utah's tax dollars at work?

Is religious cultism so infused in Utah that "public servants" just can't but help do all religious bidding for the fLDS and LDS alike?

This Jeffs guy seems like he has his act together. Totally sane.

Jeffs has made predictions of doom before, including the end of the world, but none have come true.

Is that a sigh of relief that I hear? LOL

I imagine things do look pretty apocalyptic in Jeffs’ little world.

Chip off the old lDS block...the original Joseph Smith.

Both married 14 yo

Both were polygamists

Both maintained iron-tight control on the group. Smith tested the loyalty of his men by asking for their wives. Few balked. Orson Pratt did -- Mitt Romney's G-G grandfather. Heber C. Kimball did. But that's how Smith got his 14 yo. Kimball offered up his 14 yo daughter as a "trade."

Hey Warren,

I heard you & Butch are really a couple. A guard friend of mine told me ya’ll have been seen snuggling & holding hands on the recreation yard. That's great! Glad to hear you are adjusting to your new life.

But, he did say you were walking a little stiffly. I do hope your hemorrhoids are not bothering you. I'll send you a tube of Prep H, just in case. I made you some fudge, but didn't send it, as I figured you are getting plenty of that! Ha Ha!

Tell Butch I said “hello” & “be gentle”.

I am confused, just why is the Utah prison system acting as a PR machine for Jeffs?
