His name is Warren Jeffs and he is the leader or "Prophet" of a religous cult in the US.
He is one of the FBI most wanted men

no i saw it on ITV a few months ago though, they dress in like 18th century dress and stuff, his wives adore him and hate the outside influence etc. he is just a cute hoor literally!

i often wonder how these guys get followers, like i mean could i just wake up one day and start telling ppl im a prophet and then start riding them....only in america!

Well we ve had it here too not long ago the local priest was like a celeb , and often more powerfull than the local cops .

plus they were riding allround them

but seriously 80 wives !!! can you imagine the ear ache

.1 woman is more than enough for me .

the wives have no say in it though.once a man wants a wive the prophet has on lined up and she cant do anything about it.
also,if the ex cummunicate the husband form the community,the wive can either get the same or just get married to a new wive.

they community have to pay a monthly some to the prophet and in total they reckon he makes 60million a year.

Maybe you mean an Amish lifestyle. I don't think 'Hamish would consider anything of the sort, but then again........

it is just like any other town...shops,business' etc,thats how they make money,nothing to do with amish,although they do dress like them

if a husband gets excommunicated(for shoody business dealings or whatever) the wive and kids can leave with him or they can contiue their lifestyle and remain in the community with a new husband.

BTW,im not saying it is good or anything,just going from what was in the documentry.

Also they bought a 600 acre site somewhere and have built housing for thousands and a huge temple.
they recon there will be a mass suicide there.

**paul_oshea** · 21/07/2006, 8:46 AM

Oh so strange one, i knew where you lived.....

Just caught the last 20 mins of the show. I don't know how people can be so stupid even after all the publicity David Koresh and his nutters got back in the early 90's.

Only in America
