I don't attack folks for their religious beliefs, but this crosses the line into cult. The level of brainwashing that must occur to get adult human beings to obey their "messiah," even while he's in prison for life, amazes me...

It's another test of faith for Warren Jeffs' Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints community in Short Creek, Utah. Even though the self-proclaimed prophet Jeffs was convicted of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old and a 15-year-old and sentenced to life in prison, followers stayed loyal, obeying his sexually controlling sermons, preached over the phone from his Texas prison (such as the late 2011 revelation that NO ONE could have sex until his prison walls crumble). Now Jeffs has decreed that only 15 men in a community of thousands are worthy of fathering children, which means that for everyone else, including other married men and their own wives, sex is still off limits.
