Warren Jeffs

American sex offender and cult leader (born 1955)

Warren Steed Jeffs (born December 3, 1955) is an American cult leader who is serving a life sentence in Texas for child sexual assault following two convictions in 2011. He is the president of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, a polygamous cult based in Arizona.^[8] The FLDS Church was founded in the early-20th century when its founders deemed the renunciation of polygamy by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) to be apostate. The LDS Church disavows any relation between it and the FLDS Church, although there are significant historical ties.^[9]

Descripción editorial

A Biography of False Prophet Warren Steed Jeffs and a History of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS) by Robert Alan King is a biography that examines Warren Jeffs and the history of the FLDS Church. It is a historical account of polygamy, adultery, and child molestation in the name of God.

The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS) owns walled and fenced compounds across the United States and Canada complete with watchtowers in an effort to keep evil outsiders from entering and isolate their righteous followers within. Their supposed prophet Warren Steed Jeffs towers 6'3" with short brown hair and wide brown eyes often peering out from a pair of wire-rimmed glasses.

The twisted world of Warren Jeffs: Former FLDS members speak out

When polygamy was outlawed by the Mormon Church in 1890, splinter groups formed, including the Fundamentalist Latter-Day Saints, or FLDS, in which members could practice polygamy – or "plural marriage" – discreetly, without persecution.

The FLDS was able to flourish in a remote enclave nestled along the border of Utah and Arizona near Zion National Park in a community called Short Creek.

In the FLDS community, the most important person is the prophet, and members believe that God communicates directly through him. Among the core beliefs of the community is that the more wives a man has, the closer he gets to salvation.

From 1986 to 2002, Rulon Jeffs served as FLDS prophet and president.

As Rulon Jeffs' health declined, his son Warren Jeffs slowly took control of the FLDS community. Rulon Jeffs died in 2002, and Warren Jeffs succeeded him as prophet.

FLDS members were used to taking direction from Warren Jeffs but, over time, his orders became more restrictive – and, to some, alarming.
