Warren Jeffs was born into the elite blood line of the Latter Day Saints. He was the prophet Rulon Jeffs son, the first son of his fourth and favorite wife Merilyn. She wasn’t the prettiest, youngest, or sweetest, of Rulon’s wives but undeniably she was the queen of the castle. She was a Steed who was also born into the blood line of the elite families.
Warren was a tall bean pole of a boy, shy and awkward. He was an honor student and graduated with honors. When it suited him he was pious, obedient, and tried to stay on the good side of his father. Among the rest of the family he was menacing and cruel to the younger children. Warren had different boundaries than the other children and the wives dared not complain to Rulon.
Although Warren didn’t attend college he became a teacher in the religious school his father founded for the children in the compound. He soon moved up from teacher to principal. Warren was molding their minds for the next generation of Latter Day Saints. His nephews who later tried to bring charges against him say he was also a practicing pedophile.

One of his nephews said, ” When I was five years old, Warren Jeffs and two of his brothers came to my class room. Warren took me by the hand and led me down the hall to the bathroom. His brothers stood outside the door. Warren was very serious, He said, God had chosen him to help me become a man and what was about to happen was God’s will. You cannot tell anyone or say anything to anyone. If you tell, you will burn in hell. He told me to take off my clothes. He put me in the tub and told me to bend over. He put his hand over my mouth so no one could hear me scream. And then I was in so much pain I thought I was going to die. Mercifully, I left my body and I was never the same after that. But I did learn to space out when he came to get me.”

What a horrid, horrid man. I hope he never gets let out, I hope he dies a miserable painful death, twisting in agony as he takes his last breath. I am reluctant to click I liked it, I liked that you had done it but I found it very disturbing.
Good informative write as always. x

An interesting post and the story is ongoing. I must say I am wearying of Mormon stories.

Not a pleasant man at all. How can anyone be called a prophet of God when he is such a terrible sinner? A well told story.

It is sad that so many bad things done in this world are done by people who twist religion to suit their own desires.

They’re pedophiles who use the quise of religion to brainwash these people into submission. I might get some bad mail for my comment but this is what I believe. It’s a wonder here in America this sort of lifestyle is even accepted and actually still goes on. Great piece on a controversial issue!

This man is not a mormon prophet, though he claimed to be. The LDS church does not recognise him as a member. Ruby, your articles are very interesting but I would really appreciate it if you could make sure to state whether or not the LDS church actually sanctions the things you write about. I would not want anyone to be misinformed about the mormon religion.

Thank you everyone for your comments. This man from what I can find out about him was and is a very evil man. As Elizabeth points there are different branches of the Mormon church. Jeffs is the prophet of one of them. Some stories out about him say he has confessed to his cell mates to being a evil man and a pedophile and prays for forgivness. Pedophiles are not well treated in prison so I’m sure he is paying for his cruelty. As far as I can find, the branch he calls himself prophet of still follow him. They consider him appointed by God through his bloodline.

Warren Jeffs is an evil, dispicable waste of space on planet earth. He may be a prophet but certainly not a prophet of God. Anyone who preys on children serves a different master. SATAN.

I’d like to also make it clear that this man is NOT a Mormon or a Latter Day Saint. This group of people broke away from the Mormons many years ago and espouse a very different set of beliefs than the LDS church. His actions are devastating.

I can do without prophets if this is all they have to offer. This is the kind of thing that gives all believers a bad name. A very disturbed individual.

Very well written. How much more could we mislead the scriptures by hiding behind it? It is very amusing how spiritual leaders could commit these acts of violence. Nice one Ruby.

Brrr! Chilling story. I seem to remember the original news stories–a few years back. Amazing how money and power can help people get away with the worst things.
