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.

Where Did Polygamy Come From?????
It seems everyone is pointing their finger at the FLDS. Polygamy did'nt come from there, it came from the LDS Church run by Gordon B. Huckleberry. And the LDS Church is still a polygamous church. Although most of the members are not told that... Revenue and cash flow is the reason.

Amen and amen. Ironic isn't it that Sec. 132 of the D&C (the section on plural marriage)is still cannonized scripture for the LDS? Ironic that a man whose wife dies can then go to the LDS temple and be sealed for all time and eternity to another woman, now having two wives in the afterlife? But the LDS claims to not support polygamy in any way... Ironic.
Hey fundy
I am an xplig Kid who left the apostate fundys to join back with the mother church. Not because I wanted to tap into the money. I do however believe that the privilege of paying my 10 percent to Gods true Church blesses my life in ways that spending it on myself never would. If you take a close look at the fundy religions you will see that they started with much the same organization that the LDS church now has but have given up most if not all the principles of the gospel to focus on this one principle polygamy. They have removed Christ from their churches and teachings. They have removed the free agancy of their members. As child growing up in CC I did not see the whole pitcher but as an adult looking back I can see that the organization in CC is the Satanic plan in practice the church controls every aspect of you life. forces all to do right, no personal choice even in one of the most important decisions you will ever make that being who to marry and make a family with.
So bash Gods church all you want
it will still be his church and you will still be wasting all our time whining about it :)

The LDS Mormon church might not be true in your opinion, but IMO they are more correct than anything you have posted, re: Hinckley Sermon
Speaking of churches, you forgot the one's in Eldorado, Texas: Eldorado, Texas Churches
r u trippin fundy?
This is a link to an acrobat file I found.
http://www.apologeticsindex.org/f/PolygamyLeaders.pdf
It has photos, the different names of the polygamous groups, where they split from, names, dates, photos.
From the BIBLE!
I doubt polygamy "came" from the Bible. The Bible contains a written record which includes men having more than one wife.
But we might never know the first time it was practiced. Was it necessity, honor - it will interesting to one day find out.
I am including a link to a photo album. I have only seen drivers license and portrait photos of warren. This series of photos are from Alta Academy yearbooks.
Fundy,
Sometimes people join a religion that they know has no foundation simply for the spirituality, friends, and support group. They don't like a lot of railing; they may be fully aware that their religion is groundless.
Fundy,
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it was a revelation, after the tablets - correct?
Is there any one revelation that has such veneration in your view as D&C 132?
I understand. You just mention it as a cornerstone - yet, it was a revelation that came after the foundation of mormonism - yes?
I am intrigued by Warren’s obsession with the perfect race. Does the FLDS think they are the perfect race? If so, why would a perfect race in-breed? This rational creates perfect idiots; history and genetics will attest to philosophy. The parallels between Warren and Hitler are intriguing. The parallels between Warren and Jim Jones are frightening. I urge all to read “FEET OF CLAY : Saints, Sinners, and Madmen: A Study of Gurus” by Anthony Storr -
Sorry - accidently posted on this on wrong thread - I am learning.
Whatever happened with Patrick Pipkin - did his uncle, mother and siblings move from the house - or did they stay - anyone know?
Thanks for that explanation about the books. So D&C is a cornerstone. It's just probably bad grammer to state that just ONE revelation out of it is cornerstone - when you actually believe the WHOLE BOOK is.
Street - question - Do you receive revelations? If so, how often? Can you tell me about your most recent, or most interesting?
Street, you stated "The FLDS Church is the only church on earth that takes it all as its foundation, while ALL other churches"
This is a key to detecting cults; they think are the only ones right.
Now, I know for a fact, the FLDS picks and chooses its scriptures. Consider section 101, the right to a fair trial. We don't do trials that way. When Ron Rohbock was asked out, one of the 12 was asked why and what went on at the trial, and he replies that there was no trial.
Correction--my memory served me wrong. The section is 102.
Who is we all. Are you speaking for a group of people. If so, I'd prefer just to ask you.
Is the immaculate conception a revelation that you had?
Not the historial immaculate conception of Mary. But immaculate conception for today?
hey street
a few examples of the flds picking and choosing
1 Tim. 3: 2
2 A bishop then must be ablameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, bsober•, of good behaviour, given to chospitality, apt to dteach•;
Jacob 2: 27
27 Wherefore, my brethren, hear me, and hearken to the word of the Lord: For there shall not any man among you have save it be one wife; and concubines he shall have none;
Jacob 3: 5
5 Behold, the Lamanites your brethren, whom ye hate because of their filthiness and the cursing which hath come upon their skins, are more righteous than you; for they have not forgotten the commandment of the Lord, which was given unto our father—that they should have save it were one wife, and concubines they should have none, and there should not be whoredoms committed among them
What book is Jacob in?
the book of mormon
I don't interpret the parable of talents meaning to play bunker's hill with women. I interpret it to mean "GET OFF YOUR PIOUS BUTT AND WORK, and SUPPORT YOUR OWN FAMILY"
Uncle Ratt in hiding?!!!
What's Uncle Warren doing, taking an all expense paid vacation to the Bahamas?
He's playing hide and seek, and for one I hope someone can earn the $100,000.00 reward pretty soon.
I'm tired of all the excuses made in his behalf by wanna believe followers who are just beginning to gain some degree of understanding about what has been happening to them for the last few years.
How does it feel to be evicted???
How do you like being skinned alive?
You want to blame someone, WJ's your man. He fits the bill perfectly. Fraud, pedofile, thief, adulterer, sodomite. MY WHAT CLASS !!!!

If ever I have seen an accuser of brethren, it has been Warren. I, myself, heard him tell a man that he has been unsuccessful in digging up dirt against him, so keep up the good work.
OTS,
Check!
ots
