FLDS Prophet Warren Jeffs may be serving life in prison, but his followers continue with their work on the YFZ Ranch near Eldorado, Texas where the group's white limestone Temple towers over the town they are building. Polygamy, the practice of plural marriage, appears to be alive and well in the Lone Star State, despite laws to the contrary.

Taking an opinion poll
Should the UEP Trust be saved or disolved?
Please answer with one word.
And write if you live on UEP Trust Land currently.
As you know, the trustees are getting replaced..the UEP could continue as it is. It takes alot to build something that could be taken apart in a short time. I am just taking a opinion poll out of curosity.
No way !!!let it be dissolved!Get rid of the Warrenites!let them go join their "Profit"in texas.We sure as h*ll dont need another despotic oligarchicy to take their place!
No, let it be done away with.give it back to the people who built it.Dont bring in another group,No matter how ever well intentioned,to replace the old trustees.Let it go back to the residents.This situation with the U.E.P. can NEVER,NEVER happen again.If the new board is made up of the people who have been nominated,It will only be a matter of time until they are as bad as the old board.None of these people are objective.
Eliminate over time, say a 10 year plan. It would be interesting. Sure might be another spin on shuffling wives around.
If a man builds a beautiful house - the more women he shares it with (plural wives) the more he loses with the loss of each wife - who would technically be able to have half of the equity in the house and all of his assets, plus child support for children.
I think men better be a little bit less excited about getting married to mass amounts of women.
Our grand fathers compiled an inspired document to create a preserve where our culture could grow in harmony and peace. Their vision was not flawed even though the vehicle has been driven off course.
The United Effort Plan was just that, an effort toward unity, designed to capture the benefits of the synergy of those men and families who believed in the capstone principles of the gospel - plural marriage and united order. It was designated by them as "first, philanthropic."
If the settlors of the trust wanted a one-man organization they could have created it that way. They didn't! The board members and trustees have failed in their duty by not pepetuating the board and not showing up to defend our heritage and our homes.
The vision of the trust CAN be preserved by keeping the trust intact and issuing marketable right-to-use permits to the residents. The taxes can be billed directly to the occupants and the commercial properties can pay fair value for the use of the UEP lands and assets. Transfers of the member's use permits can be reviewed by the board to prevent abuses and a reasonable appeals process can be instituted to resolve any conflicts.
Common use facilities like parks, cemetary, assembly areas, etc could easily be administered by the cities and therefor would be available to the public without discrimination.
Consider our responsibility to deliver to future generations the same opportunity that our faithful pioneer grand parents left to us. What right do we have to liquidate the inheritance that was so generously intrusted to us ?
We have a sacred obligation to rescue the UEP from mismanagement and stop allowing it to be used as a instrument of abuse. We also have the opportunity and responsibility to revisit the intentions of the inspired visionary men who created the UEP.
So many of the provisions of the trust are obsolete by any definition. It had a great run - did many good things - but has outlived its usefulness and should be cerimoniously dissolved and buried in an un-dedicated grave.
Very few of the actions and formalities outlined in the 1942 UEP charter have been followed. No membership list was kept. No appications for membership have been received. No members were approved in trustee meetings. The for-profit ventures described were all discontinued or handled by other means. And - worst of all - the entire board of trustees have been shushed to silence while the organization became a Dictatorship.
No one ever moved to UEP property, set a stone, or pounded a nail believing that they would be ousted for crimes -real or imaginary.
The UEP has become a Frankensein Monster on the loose that must be captured and euthanized.
With that rant said, here are the reasons:
The UEP now represents another layer of government and is redundant. The cities and towns can do all the planning and zoning, building permitting, property surveying, streets, roads, sidewalks, etc that are necessary. Hildale Town and Colorado City did not exist in 1942. Now they do.
The "priesthood work" had no face in 1942. The states of Arizona and Utah were still raiding the communities about every 9 years, 1935, 1944, 1953... Now, the church has a corporate sole (love it or hate it), the dairy and farms are incorporated. The store and station are independent business and the community is no longer looking to the UEP or the trustees for these services.
Private ownership of property has become the norm and is the foundation of any thriving economy. A reservation for communal family living is no longer the basis for peaceful survival in todays world. Now the stability of any reigion is based on its economy. The UEP is no longer the center of the economy of the Short Creek Valley. Now it has become the major obstical !
Lets talk about retirement. Most elderly folks spend years building equity in their primary residence or business and retire on that equity. Many people have liquidated their retirement accounts, ESOPs, home equities, and insurance policies to "invest" in the UEP. They did so on the faith that the storehouse would reciprocate in some fashion when they had medical, retirement, or funeral needs. While no specific promise was made in this regard, but there were countless calls to "tumble in" the surplus and rely on the Lord for the "rainy day."
No one could envision that the FLDS retirement plan would be a one way ticket to nowhere. The equities of the United Effort Plan do not belong to the organized church nor to the individuals involved. The UEP trust document provides for the event of dissolution. It states that the assets shall be distributed on the basis of share and share alike. This concept could have so many iterpretations that the entire corpus would go to the lawyers. (not a pleasant thought, unless you are a lawyer) It could create tax issues (which may not be insurmountable with the right court rulings).
An equitable dissolution would probably entail a claim and waiting period when the UEP could sort out its resources and obligations. Then a negotion period wherein the claims were met and settled in some fashion depending on the trusts ability to pay. Then, lastly a cooling off period when the deeds, settlments, or payments were made in such a way that the individuals could not be coerced to re-intrust them to any other "unhealty" arrangement.
It IS possible to have an orderly unwinding of the trust. It may not be possible to make everyone happy in the process, but once private ownership and free enterprise are restored the healing process can at least begin.
May the UEP rest in peace, so that we all can do the same.
Four of us sitting together all think it should be saved. We live on it, have spent our lives building it up, and want to see it saved in a way so that this can't happen again. Do you other folks live on it? Identify please.
The old timers who built the UEP with blood sweat and tears would have said "save it" and those who had nothing to do with building it would say "cut the baby in half" I lived there for nearly half a century, and have a vested interest, but have other interests now also. I say, let's do all we can to save it. Unity is still the only way.
I don't know whether to save it or dissolve it, but I want to know if I can pry the UEP letters off my house or if anyone will have a problem with that???? Anyone else have letters, or am I one of the now few?
I am all for keeping the UEP, as long as someone like you will serve on the board! If you are the level-headed person that I think you are, the go for it!
I just thought that none of the nominees were good choices, except Winston Balckmore. Everyone else has an ax to grind, or are just plain power hungry and greedy. I cannot imagine anyone having any respect for, or taking the advice of R Holm, with his track record, for instance.
Everyone knows how bitter he is, he gets on TV and tells us so, and if someone like that has a vendetta, then how the hell can they be fair and just in their administration?
That was why I supported it being dissolved. Are you going to go to the meeting and put in your two bits? I sure hope so!
I totally agree with you that someone as bitter and full of malice as Richard Holm should not be a trustee. I know he's probably been through a lot, but I certainly wouldn't want him to represent me in any way.

UPDATE JULY 5, 2005 Petitioners Donald B. Cox, James N. Pipkin, and Merrill Harker, by and through their undersigned counsel, and pursuant to the order entered by the above-entitled Court on June 22, 2005, hereby give notice that they have filed a petition whereby they propose that the Court appoint new trustees for the United Effort Plan Trust as follows: Robert C. Huddleston, Craig L. Booth, and Gregory A. Kemp.
Can someone enlighten me on the location of the meeting concerning the UEP in CC on Friday? What time and where? And also, where is this information being posted? Thanks ever so much!
All of the ousted and 2nd warders have a score to settle. All of the first warders need to go ask Warren for guidance on every decision. The trustees will not agree on anything and many will become frustrated with the lack of progress and quit. The majority will be first warders and they will call secret or impromtu meetings when they know other trustees are out of town. It'll be just like the school board.
I don't live in CC. I gave up my lot and moved on before starting a home, thank God.
If the UEP is disolved, the Warrenites will just turn their deeds to him anyway, but if maintained will either be told to move by (their) powers that be, or will opt to stay of their own accord. (nowhere else to go)
I hold free and clear title to a modular home on UEP land. I OWN IT, I pay the Arizona taxes and home owners insurance. While on vacation, our home (locked and boarded up) was broken into, our personal items removed and scattered to the four winds, and someone else was moved in. My family and I never returned to seek redress for this crime against us, after all the local police would never help one who knows Warren as the master deceiver he really is. An effort to distract me from taking immediate legal action came in the form of a cash offer for the home by the new occupant. This dragged on for almost a year and he decided he would never pay because... "you havn't paid taxes to the UEP, you don't own this home." This devistated my family and we want justice. If Warren wants me off UEP land than give me a home elsewhere and don't steal my house from me, or anyone else. You didn't build it I did! People who commit these crimes are thieves and liars and I want the crooks to pay for this horrible injustice. Who can help me?!
The UEP can never be governed on principles different than the ones under which it was created. Why do you think it is falling apart now? The spirit of the document is completely undone and violated by Warren's administration.
The document itself was set up to be a "religious and charitable" administration of the land and property under the church. Where the church cannot contribute and control the UEP, it MUST be dissolved. Never in a million years can a secular board govern a religious trust.
Mugwump: Neutral directors is the only way the UEP can function. But I doubt if any can be talked into it. It's going to be very chatoic after the new trustees start making new rules. If the FLDS have votes or are trustees, then Warren, who most of them worship, will still control the UEP.
It doesn't matter who the trustees are, if Warren tells one of his faithful to move out of their house then they will go. You can't help people who don't want help. The FLDS are like suicide bombers in a way...they don't act normal or predictable. They have never owned their own land or house and they have always gone to Warren or the previous prophets for guidance when making big decisions like what type of business to start, which brand of car to buy, or whether to use paper or plastic. They have always had the "prophet crutch" so they are not used to making their own decisions.
Anon 7:30 is a good example of this indecision. Call a lawyer. Call the newspaper. Call a press conference. Make a big stink. File a lawsuit. Either AG in Utah or Arizona would love something like this. Or wait for the new trustees to be announced so you can ask them if you can take your property from their property. Just hope one of the new trustees isn't a relative of the current occupants of your house...you may not get it back.
I think the UEP will be inundated with lawsuits in the next few years, so you better get yours in first.
LTG,You are so right.If trustees are voted on,The Board will look just like it always has,Warren"Flds-ProphetGod"at top,Throw in a handful of vengeful apostates{many of whom have been wronged grieviously}all with plenty of axes to grind,And mix it up.Oh It will take years and decades just to get depositions.Warren will still pull all the strings,even from prison.This has just been the Dept,of Justice little joke on us poor Creekers.Warren and his cronies cronies have Eldorado"Humting retreat"!What do we have ?notthing as usual
Richard Rulon Allred C.P.A.?Real name Barlow?is your mom married to your moniker's names sake?Are you one of Uncle Louis' sons?I am Truman's son,and I would appreciate hearing from you.
Which one of Truman's sons are you? Just some initials would do. I only ask because I would like to be in contact with some of my relatives. I REALLY miss them!!!
yes. let's keep the UEP. Idid live on UEP land but have since moved. I still care about what happens to it, and to my relatives that live there. Many very good, hard-working people are still there trying to make a living and minding their own business.I'd like to see a board of trustees voted in that would truly have the interest of the common folk at heart, and who value the intent and purpose of the original trust.
Hey Barlow Relatives: Hello! And it's good to hear from you, whoever you are. I wish I could have you say " Hello" to my uncles for me, but they probably wouldn't be interested.(judging off fo the way my father acts towards me) But that doesn't matter. I still love and care about him and his brothers and hope the best for them wherever they are.
Seventeenth Son, So,Yes Aunt Lori ,I am Uncle Louis'Jarred.This street really creeps me out.I am writing from My cousins P.C.There are two sixteenth sons on blog.Trumans and Louis sons.
Sixteenth Son, you can contact me at motherbuff@hotmail.com. No, I'm not in Colorado City. If you're Truman's son, you're my cousin. I'd love to hear from you!!
To whoever said "Neutral directors is the only way the UEP can function."
Take this into consideration: Anyone who has not been apart of the UEP would not be able to understand the culture or the intent.
First you must acknowledge there is a problem. Second you must own the problem in order to solve it.
Those who are "out" know there is a problem. Those who are "in" don't have a problem, (until they are out) The "outs" still have family in. They would make the best decisions even if they were wronged or not; because a committee balances out each other. The people listed as trustees are VOLUNTEER. They are doing it for the right reasons. And they would have a four or five year term and then be replaced.
Donald B. Cox, James N. Pipkin, and Merrill Harker
Come on these guys have been gone for twenty years. What some jerks to get in the way . Remove your petition. you are in the way. You are not helping solve the problem for the right reason. Are your people going to VOLUNTEER as trustees?
Only "Outside" people with no relatives in U.E.P should be considered for trustees.The Centenial Park Crowd are just looking to cash in on a bad situation,and maybe for a little payback.They were treated very badly by Uncle Rulon and Sammy Barlow.But revenge should not be a qualification,for a trustee,I would feel much safer living on U.E.P with some Gentile Trustees,who are wealthy enough not to be intimidated by the locals,Or some Naylor Group or Blackmore Group Trustees who have have no axe to grind with with the FLDS people.The alledged meeting was just a sting operation,by the Mohave County Sheriff to catch the Warrenites with underage wives,and fooled no-one least of all us.
Yeah!?! Should we let the Christians LIVE??!? Or shall we feed 'em to the lions? (permit me a cruel chuckle...heh,heh,..)......"And Jesus said unto them...Let he who is without sin cast the first stone..." I can't believe I'm reading this bull right here in the U.S.of A.! Watch out, fellow Americans! Our VOTES affect ALL!
c'mon steet; you must get your revelations from the same dark sources as your profit. Maybe the both of you should begin cutting yourselves, while you howl to your dog(Baal). Ooops; sounds kinda like a Bible story. Perhaps all the while you two are yelping, "Elijah" will come and get the job done.

Yes, absolutely, preserve the UEP
Our grand fathers compiled an inspired document to create a preserve where our culture could grow in harmony and peace. Their vision was not flawed even though the vehicle has been driven off course.
The United Effort Plan was just that, an effort toward unity, designed to capture the benefits of the synergy of those men and families who believed in the capstone principles of the gospel - plural marriage and united order. It was designated by them as "first, philanthropic."

The vision of the trust CAN be preserved by keeping the trust intact and issuing marketable right-to-use permits to the residents. The taxes can be billed directly to the occupants and the commercial properties can pay fair value for the use of the UEP lands and assets. Transfers of the member's use permits can be reviewed by the board to prevent abuses and a reasonable appeals process can be instituted to resolve any conflicts.

I don't think anyone should be spouting criticism against Richard Holm unless they have contributed at least as much as he did.
I vote dissolve the UEP so we can start the process of going forward instead of being stuck in the past and at risk of the same mistakes.

Hey Keep Sweet Eldorado Stg what wrong with having pink dresses and computers?
I hold free and clear title to a modular home on UEP land. I OWN IT, I pay the Arizona taxes and home owners insurance.

GBNF: A Hangover!!!!
Richard Rulon Allred:
Is that your real name? And who is your father?
Its Not my real name.just my blog moniker.My father is/was?named Barlow.
Richard Rulon Allred C.P.A.?Real name Barlow?is your
mom married to your moniker's names
sake?Are you one of Uncle Louis' sons?I am Truman's son,and I would appreciate hearing from you.
Which one of Truman's sons are you? Just some initials would do. I only ask because I would like to be in contact with some of my relatives. I REALLY miss them!!!
Barlow Girl,I am JARED!How can I contact you ?Are you still in Colorado city?I would love to hear from you.
Jared Barlow
yes. let's keep the UEP. Idid live on UEP land but have since moved. I still care about what happens to it, and to my relatives that live there. Many very good, hard-working people are still there trying to make a living and minding their own business.I'd like to see a board of trustees voted in that would truly have the interest of the common folk at heart, and who value the intent and purpose of the original trust.
Hey Barlow Relatives: Hello! And it's good to hear from you, whoever you are. I wish I could have you say " Hello" to my uncles for me, but they probably wouldn't be interested.(judging off fo the way my father acts towards me) But that doesn't matter. I still love and care about him and his brothers and hope the best for them wherever they are.
OTS - if you are an example of how a righteous man acts - you make it very unappealing.
But - since I have seen righteous, I'm not fooled - and I know in a truly righteous man does not act and speak as you.
What any Barlow does is none of your damn busniness OnTheStreet!
WE Dont Worship your EVIL SICK FALSE PIMP-GOD{Warren Steed Jeffs}
Save the trust and put Winston back on it. At least then no one would have to be with out their home, he wouldn't kick anyone out!
Seventeenth Son, So,Yes Aunt Lori ,I am Uncle Louis'Jarred.This street really creeps me out.I am writing from My cousins P.C.There are two sixteenth sons on blog.Trumans and Louis sons.
Yes! Save the UEP and make Uncle Wink a trustee. He would at least try to be fair.
Sixteenth Son, you can contact me at motherbuff@hotmail.com. No, I'm not in Colorado City. If you're Truman's son, you're my cousin. I'd love to hear from you!!
Street, why were you kicked out? What was your "sin"? Confess.
(Was it something related to your "mother-buff" comment?)
To whoever said "Neutral directors is the only way the UEP can function."
Take this into consideration: Anyone who has not been apart of the UEP would not be able to understand the culture or the intent.
First you must acknowledge there is a problem. Second you must own the problem in order to solve it.
Those who are "out" know there is a problem. Those who are "in" don't have a problem, (until they are out) The "outs" still have family in. They would make the best decisions even if they were wronged or not; because a committee balances out each other.
The people listed as trustees are VOLUNTEER. They are doing it for the right reasons. And they would have a four or five year term and then be replaced.
Donald B. Cox, James N. Pipkin, and Merrill Harker
Come on these guys have been gone for twenty years. What some jerks to get in the way . Remove your petition. you are in the way. You are not helping solve the problem for the right reason. Are your people going to VOLUNTEER as trustees?
Only "Outside" people with no relatives in U.E.P should be considered for trustees.The Centenial Park Crowd are just looking to cash in on a bad situation,and maybe for a little payback.They were treated very badly by Uncle Rulon and Sammy Barlow.But revenge should not be a qualification,for a trustee,I would feel much safer living on U.E.P with some Gentile Trustees,who are wealthy enough not to be intimidated by the locals,Or some Naylor Group or Blackmore Group Trustees who have have no axe to grind with with the FLDS people.The alledged meeting was just a sting operation,by the Mohave County Sheriff to catch the Warrenites with underage wives,and fooled no-one least of all us.
Yeah!?! Should we let the Christians LIVE??!? Or shall we feed 'em to the lions? (permit me a cruel chuckle...heh,heh,..)......"And Jesus said unto them...Let he who is without sin cast the first stone..."
I can't believe I'm reading this bull right here in the U.S.of A.! Watch out, fellow Americans! Our VOTES affect ALL!
Maybe that was because Warren Jeffs was NO prophet, so he wasn't worthy either.
and you know this how street?
Name
OTS you're a pretty phallic fellow.
Why did someone have an axe to grind with Richard Holm?
c'mon steet; you must get your revelations from the same dark sources as your profit. Maybe the both of you should begin cutting yourselves, while you howl to your dog(Baal). Ooops; sounds kinda like a Bible story. Perhaps all the while you two are yelping, "Elijah" will come and get the job done.
