How to Control 87 Wives, Polygamist Pray and Obey House Join Profiling Evil for a tour of the apocalyptic house that polygamist leader Rulon Jeffs built for his 70 wives. When Warren Jeffs became the leader, he started marrying more and may have had 87 wives, including the 65th wife named Briell. She left the FLDS Church when Jeffs went to prison and she's turned the building into a recovery center for people fleeing plural marriage. #FLDS. #pluralmarriage #polygamy #sisterwives #biglove #bigamy, #Hildale #ColoradoCity #Cult #CoerciveMindControl #keepsweet #GrowingUpInPolygamy #WarrenJeffs #babycemetery #fumarase #cps #JanjaLalich=======================================Catch up on all things Profiling Evil at: www.ProfilingEvil.com and sign up for the BOLO, our newsletter that's only available to subscribers.Learn more about the Dream Center: https://www.shortcreekdreamcenter.org/SUPPORT our Podcasts: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1213394/support

Hey Humor Consumers, You won't believe this, or maybe you will...we actually FINALLY recorded our episode on the topic of "Procrastination." After a year and a half or more of putting it off, we finally did it. It was supposed to drop today. But, when Cathrine went to edit it and get it uploaded into our Podbean account, the audio file was garbage. The first seven minutes was ok, but nothing after that was usable. Sooooooo, you know what that means! It will take us a minimum of another year or more to redo it and get it out to you all. In the meantime, we had Keep Sweet Pray and Obey in the queue so here ya go. Ya, today's episode checks all the boxes of weird, hard, scary and stupid! You know what I mean? These Jeffs guys are total NUT BAGS! They are out there. We stumbled upon the doc and decided to bring it to you all. In case you haven't noticed, we are trying to do a documentary once a month because you seem to like them.  BTW, if you didn't get a chance to listen to last week's episode about stuff we no longer can live without.......go back and give it a listen. About half way through Cathrine and I LOST IT and it's hilarious. I slipped up on a word that had two meanings and it sounded like I was talking about intimacy but I was really talking about something totally different. Anyway, we laugh anyway right? Back to the Jeffs. Today we are sharing... Who are the Jeffs? A review of Keep Sweet, Pray and Obey The Dangers of Cults Inspirational close: Romans 16:17-18 CTA: If you are looking for a spiritual connection RUN from NUT BAGS like the Jeffs and run to a good local church that has these three things: accountability, transparency and they welcome questioning.  Tracy and Cathrine p.s. We love you all and hope you're loving the podcast. Please remember to like, share, comment in all the places.

Today, we start a 2 part episode on Warren Jeffs and the Fundamental Church of Latter Day Saints cult. An off shoot from the Mormon church that occurred when the Mormons banned multiple wives. Warren's father, Rulon Jeffs became the prophet, and Warren was the heir apparent. Rulon made him the principal of a FLDS school, where Warren began crafting his warped view of Mormonism, and indoctrinating the students. When Rulon died, Warren assumed the role of prophet, and not only amped up the multiple wives, he also brought in child brides, and began trafficking young girls to creepy bootlicker men in the cult. He also instituted a set of the most draconian laws imaginable. Women were nothing more than breeding stock. Join us as we destroy this creep. Its a very rough story, but we get through it by brutally mocking Warren. Part 2 comes next Saturday. Twitter Facebook Instagram Website

Cult Leader Warren Jeffs was on the run. Stories of abuse from former members of the FLDS were coming to light, including some which could bring criminal charges. In 2006, Warren made the FBI's Most Wanted List. Even in hiding, Warren was continuing to collect young wives. One of his latest was only 12 years old. We are wrapping up our deep dive into The Witness Wore Red by Rebecca Musser. She's an author, activist, mom, and was the 19th wife of Rulon Jeffs, Warren Jeffs' father. We found some great takeaways from Rebecca's story over the last two weeks, so if you haven't listened to those you can follow the links in the show notes to get caught up. Our Bible passage for this week is 2 Peter 2:1-3: But [in those days] false prophets arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will subtly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their shameful ways, and because of them the way of truth will be maligned. And in their greed they will exploit you with false arguments and twisted doctrine. Their sentence [of condemnation which God has decreed] from a time long ago is not idle [but is still in force], and their destruction and deepening misery is not asleep [but is on its way]. I want us to focus in on one particular sentence from this passage. “And in their greed they will exploit you with false arguments and twisted doctrine.” We often associate the word greed with money, and that's often the focus of people's greed. But one definition of greed calls it an intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food. In this case, Warren and many other FLDS men showed an insatiable lust for sex with underage girls, but also for the power and sense of control their actions gave them. Any of us can be the objects of someone's desire for control. Even if we willingly join their group or sit under their teaching, they aren't there to help people but to exploit them as the scripture we read says. Whenever you notice someone in a position of authority who is getting more out of it than the people they are in authority over, that's a problem that can easily lead to abuse I'll bet you or someone you know is in a situation like that right now. And it may not be abusive now, or just not towards you, but we all need to keep our eyes open, and our hearts as well. It's so easy to deny what we are seeing because we've trusted the person who is acting in questionable ways. One thing I've learned from working with and talking to people who have had their trust horribly abused is that they are almost never their abuser's only victim. You aren't alone, you're not crazy, you're not over-reacting. You have the right to share what's happening with as many people as you need to until you find an ally who can help stop the abuse. If you've dealt with a situation like this, I'd love to hear from you and learn from how you handled it. Shoot an email to lori@theunlovelytruth.com or message me on social media.

Have you ever brought up a concern in your church, only to be labeled as an enemy of the faith? Do your leaders exhibit a troubling lack of humility? Are you sure you would recognize spiritual abuse if you saw it? Our book this week is The Witness Wore Red by Rebecca Musser. She's an author, activist, mom, and was the 19th wife of Rulon Jeffs, Warren Jeffs' father. This is part 2 of a three-part deep dive on this case. We found some great takeaways from Rebecca's story last week so if you haven't listened to that one you can follow the link in the show notes to get caught up on Rebecca's growing up years - the ones before Warren Jeff's took control of the cult. Cults have always fascinated me. From the outside looking in, we wonder how people could believe some of what we see as outrageous teachings. Some are born into the teaching and know nothing else. Others, searching for meaning, fulfillment, and community, willing go along with teachings that are contrary to Scripture. As believers, instead of shunning people who are different or are seeking, we need to engage with them. If you haven't seen the movie Jesus Revolution, I highly recommend it. A clash of cultures could've been a disaster if not for a handful of people who were willing to look past external differences to share the love of God. This week, let's investigate John 8:3-11: As he was speaking, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They put her in front of the crowd. “Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery. The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?” They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!” Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust. When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman. Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn't even one of them condemn you?” “No, Lord,” she said. And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.” When I've listened to this passage being taught, the emphasis is usually on Jesus's interaction with the woman, or how he puts the Pharisees in their place. But I want us to focus on verses 6 and 7. Picture the scene. A crowd had once again gathered to hear Jesus teach - at the temple no less. The place where the teachers of the law and the Pharisees were used to being in charge. In the spotlight. So they tried to trap Jesus. They weren't interested in upholding the law, and they certainly weren't thinking about how they could help the woman live a God-honoring life. They wanted to take down someone they saw as a threat to their power and control. They were committing spiritual abuse. When Jesus didn't take their bait, they continued to ask over and over whether the woman should be stoned or not. When he finally gave his famous answer that the one who was without sin could cast the first stone, they walked away. They couldn't accept corrective teaching. Remember, they were at the temple. Their turf. But they were willing to walk away rather than even consider that Jesus could be right, and they could be wrong. If you have leaders like that in your church, or at your workplace, or in any type of relationship - I want to ask you to check out links to the resources I've put in the show notes. If you are experiencing spiritual abuse, I want you to have information to help you address it. I'm no expert, but you can certainly reach out to me as well and I will do what I can to put you in touch with the help you need.

If you had been told all through your childhood that people outside your faith are plotting to hurt you, you might feel safer sticking close to people who believe just like you do, even if you knew that at least some of what you are being taught is wrong. Would you have the courage to leave it all behind, have your family and friends disown you, and become, in the words of men like Warren Jeffs, an apostate? Our book this week is The Witness Wore Red, by Rebecca Musser. She's an author, activist, mom, and was the 19th wife of Rulon Jeffs, Warren Jeffs' father. We're doing a three-part deep dive on this case because there are so many great takeaways from Rebecca's story. Cults have always fascinated me. From the outside looking in, we wonder how people could believe some of what we see as outrageous teachings. Some are born into the teaching and know nothing else. Others, searching for meaning, fulfillment, and community willingly go along with teachings that are contrary to Scripture. As believers, instead of shunning people who are different or are seeking, we need to engage with them. If you haven't seen the movie Jesus Revolution, I highly recommend it. A clash of cultures could've been a disaster without a handful of people who were willing to look past external differences to share the love of God. Let's look at Paul's words from Galatians 1:6-10 to see what he says about groups that preach a Gospel other than Christ's: “I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God's curse! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God's curse! Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.” This idea of turning to a different gospel which is no gospel at all is so relevant to studying cults. With the FLDS, it's very obvious that their teaching adds to and even contradicts the Bible. But what if we suspect that our church, or a Bible Study we attend, or something a friend is getting involved with - what if we see them straying from Scripture? I think the first thing to do is check what is being taught against the Word of God. When Paul wrote his second letter to the church in Corinth, he warned them to be on guard against people who were not only treating them terribly but also teaching a different gospel. That's exactly what the FLDS leaders were doing. And if we aren't careful, we can fall victim to the same type of scam. Even in a scripturally-based church, things can get a little off the mark. That's what most of Paul's letters were about! But when we know the Word for ourselves, we can easily spot when a teaching misses the mark. Ask to share your viewpoint with them. If they refuse, contact your church's leadership. If they agree with the false teaching or refuse to confront the error because the teacher is a popular one - then it may be time to find another church. I know that can be very hard but it's so very important to have humble leaders who value Biblical Truth.

Born into the polygamous FLDS sect, Rebecca Musser claims that at 19, her father, Lloyd, forced her to marry 85-year-old Rulon Jeffs --the head of the church and considered a prophet by his followers. After seven years of marriage, Jeffs --who was said to have as many as 65 wives --died in 2002, and that's when Rebecca says she made her escape. Now 37, Rebecca, who recently authored The Witness Wore Red: The 19th Wife Who Brought Polygamous Cult Leaders to Justice, sits down with Dr. Phil and recounts the abuse she alleges she endured at the hands of fellow FLDS members and the day she says she found freedom. How did she learn to assimilate into society after being closed off from the outside world for so long? And, hear how she helped authorities build a child sexual assault case against Rulon's son, Warren Jeffs --who took control of the church when his father died --and other church leaders, who are now behind bars. Then, Rebecca's father confronts his daughter for what he says is a “book full of lies” and explains why he's threatening to sue. Why does he say Rebecca had a “fairytale life”?And, how does he answer to her allegation that he forced her to marry against her will? Plus, Rebecca speaks out about breaking the cycle of abuse and shares her top “red flags” to look out for. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

FLD prophet Rulon Jeffs was raised LDS and even went to high school with Gordon B. Hinckley, who went on to become prophet of the LDS Church. Lindsay:  Rulon Jeffs is a nice LDS boy. He went by Rulon Jennings as a little boy because he was a polygamist. He didn’t know his father was […] The post Rulon Jeffs LDS & FLDS Background (Part 6 of 8) appeared first on Gospel Tangents.

We had the pleasure of having Worth Bistline call in to do an interview about growing up as a young man in the FLDS. He has an interesting view as he grew up with Rulon Jeffs as prophet and the gradual transition to Warren Jeffs becoming the leader of the FLDS. He has a lot of insight regarding the transition and especially as a young man coming into the priesthood of the FLDS. Thanks again to Worth for sharing his story and we hope his ending words of wisdom can help as many people as they go through this crazy thing called life!

Leona Bateman, founder of the Creekers Foundation, and Briell Decker Blanchart, board member of the Short Creek Dream Center join me to discuss their lives in and out of FLDS, and how they're helping others transition out. In this episode, we discuss: What courtship training is like How marriages in FLDS are arranged How questioning couples discuss their doubts with each other What happens when you get engaged to Warren Jeffs How people escape What life is like after you leave the FLDS And more... Special Guests: Briell Decker Blanchart and Leona Bateman.

Brenda Nicholson grew up in FLDS under Rulon Jeffs and eventually under the rule of Warren Jeffs. While there are many shows about FLDS, Brenda gives us her unique story and insights into the inner workings of the FLDS and how she got out. In this episode, we discuss: How her family got into the FLDS movement What it was like being a student of Warren Jeffs How marriage in FLDS works How the rules were enforced What happened when a new rule was introduced And more... Special Guest: Brenda Nicholson.

On this episode, we continue our examination of Mormon polygamy by walking through more than a century of plural marriage history affiliated with Mormonism. We begin with the Second Manifesto of 1904 and discuss the rise of the Council of Friends and the resulting Fundamentalist Mormon sects which arose from the Council’s leadership.

The memoir of a prophet’s 19th wife, damned apostate, and witness for the prosecution of Warren Jeffs and FLDS leaders. Rebecca Musser grew up in fear, concealing her family's polygamous lifestyle from the "dangerous" outside world. Covered head-to-toe in strict, modest clothing, she received a rigorous education at Alta Academy, the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints' school headed by Warren Jeffs. Always seeking to be an obedient Priesthood girl, in her teens she became the nineteenth wife of her people's prophet: 85-year-old Rulon Jeffs, Warren's father. Finally sickened by the abuse she suffered and saw around her, she pulled off a daring escape and sought to build a new life and family. The church, however, had a way of pulling her back in-and by 2007, Rebecca had no choice but to take the witness stand against the new prophet of the FLDS in order to protect her little sisters and other young girls from being forced to marry at shockingly young ages. The following year, Rebecca and the rest of the world watched as a team of Texas Rangers raided the Yearning for Zion Ranch, a stronghold of the FLDS. Rebecca's subsequent testimony would reveal the horrific secrets taking place behind closed doors of the temple, sending their leaders to prison for years, and Warren Jeffs for life. THE WITNESS WORE RED is a gripping account of one woman's struggle to escape the perverse embrace of religious fanaticism and sexual slavery, and a courageous story of hope and transformation. Today, Rebecca is the founder of ClaimRed.org, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing dignity, hope and healing to victims of human trafficking. Tune in on Tuesday night to listen to Rebecca and Janét talk about hope, courage, and one woman's determination for change and justice.
