As the year comes to an end and the followers of Warren Jeffs await the apocalypse he has predicted, they're living under a challenging edict: they're forbidden to have sex until Jeffs is sprung from a Texas prison.
"He has predicted that the walls in the prison where he's at will fall and crumble," said Joni Holm, who has many relatives in the polygamous FLDS faith.
According to Holm, Fundamentalist LDS Church members also face their faith's most severe punishment, excommunication, if they conceive a child.
It's one of the strangest edicts in a season full of them. Jeffs has issued a stream of revelations, prophecies and orders to his congregation in the border community of Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, Ariz.

According to Holm, Jeffs declared all existing marriages to be void.
"Right now they have all been told that they are not to live as husband and wife," Holm said. "They can live in the same house, but they are not to have sexual relationships until Warren comes out and 're-seals' them."

If FLDS members have sex on the sly, any resulting children will be considered "sons of perdition," according to Holm's brother-in-law, and the parents will be instantly excommunicated.
The sex ban will be lifted only if Jeffs' latest prophecy comes true: an apocalypse that will bring down the prison walls and broil the human race.
"They believe that they'll still roam on the Earth," Holm said, "but the rest of us will be burned."

POW!!!
~ Wilford Woodruff, 4th LDS President
And not to split infinitives, either.
Somewhere in this favored land,
the sun is shining bright;
Oh?
I thought I gave that badboy a couple of good whacks!?
Warren Jeffs is the truest disciple of Jospeh Snith.
If one follows Snith, they are duty bound to follow Jeffs.
It’s that simple.
Damn if this is an example of their women not having sex would be doing the men a favor.
There’s just something about that blue dress....
As long as they aren’t filing a marriage certificate with the authorities, these polygamous marriages don’t exist, in the eyes of the government. It isn’t much different than the thugster in the innercity spreading his seed all over, is it? Isn’t there some pro football player that has an unbelievable number of kids with a number of women?
According to the evidence the white steps are provided for the kneeling of other spirit wives to observe the consummation, and record it.
I believe, at this time, it is on the third floor of the temple inside the fLDS compound outside of Eldorado, TX which is approximately 30 miles north of Sonora, TX.

Who is crazier? Warren Jeffs or his followers?
That just makes me so dad blamed mad i could chew 6 penny nails and spit them through those prison walls and get him, he can have all of those wifes and i can only have one, Bah, i am angry with him.
LOL - as each couple or threesome or whatever - breaks this rule they'll turn away from the cult. ( The internal logic will go like this: "I'm a good person - therefore I broke this ruling because it was stupid...) When Warren Jeffs gets out of jail he'll have 3 cult members left - strangely the three that were never able to conceive...
Paging Apologist Saundra Duffy, who last I remember was claiming the FLDS were being abused by the gentiles.
A side note to this is that all the ‘safe houses’ are full right now, and there are ministries asking for help to handle the refugees from this group.
Please PM me if you know anyone in TX, UT, CO, AZ with a cabin or a place to go and I will put you in touch with a woman who is helping those leaving.
>> Prophet Wilford Woodruff issued the 1890 Manifesto ‘banning’ polygam. <<
Can you imagine if HE had run for U.S. President? The great Wilford Woodruff - Woodrow Wilson debate!
That is the bed on the 3rd floor of the FLDS temple in Texas. It was used to restrain little girls while Jeff raped them in front of his other ‘wives’. Rather than fight back, the wives were the ones who restrained the girl that is in the recordings.
Don’t get me started on how evil these people are. And some here think they aren’t harming anyone.
You do know that most of these women are on welfare because legally they are single moms with like 12 kids.
And that is just for starters the abuse that goes on in these compounds is staggering. They also have at least one re-education camp where women who aren’t completely submissive go to learn to ‘stay sweet’. You don’t want to know what goes on there.
