Outlaw Prophet: Warren Jeffs Page #3

Synopsis: Aged Rulon Jeffs is the leader - the prophet - of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS) centered in Colorado City, Arizona. His followers believe the prophet is the voice of God. The church espouses polygamy - most specifically men married to several women - as a means of eternal salvation of the highest order. The prophet places the females into marriages, often as soon as they are of child bearing age, which in the eyes of the law is considered child abuse if the female is a minor. Following Rulon's death, his son Warren Jeffs assumes the FLDS leadership as prophet, somewhat against the wants of FLDS council who believed they should vote on who should become leader. Regardless, many of the congregation do follow his word as gospel as their new prophet. But Warren is more reckless in his decisions than his father, with some, including some of the young minor women, questioning his unbending decisions, excommunication often the price for crossing those d

Uncle Warren?

Thank you.

Thank you.

You know how much he loves you.

The voice of God.

I will be the voice of God on Earth.

Anyone who won't hear it,

I will cast them out.

Who is that?

He's not even in his grave.

Look at them.

- When is the meeting?

- This evening in my father's office.

There's gonna be trouble.

As he lay dying...

my father, Rulon,

asked me to make a solemn promise.

He said, "Warren...

promise me that you will protect

the people of Short Creek.

Save them from the apostates...

because they will come here

and try to take our children...

destroy everything we have built...

that's why they're sending their spies."

They are out there even now,

planning their next incursion.

And that's why

we have to be closer now to God...

and to each other, than ever before.

Losing Uncle Rulon...

has caused us all

such deep sadness and pain.

Sometimes I think

that sadness will swallow me up...

but then I think about the promise

I made to my father, and to you all.

I will honor that promise.

I will grab his hand.

I will take all of your hands in mine,

and we will rise up together in glory.

Until God sees fit

to take me from this Earth...

I will be the prophet you deserve.

Hey. Is your daddy home?

He's taken one of my moms

to the dentist.

Then he's gonna make us pancakes.

Do you know who I am?

Don't worry, you will.

Hello?

Can I help you, Warren?

Warren.

I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Before he died,

Rulon asked me to come to you.

Come on. Let's talk inside.

What is it?

The Lord revealed your sins

to Uncle Rulon.

You're no longer welcome

in this community.

What?

You have 48 hours to leave Hildale.

Noah! Come quick!

- Emma?

- Look what he's done! It's horrible.

Oh, God.

Help me sweep over here.

- Girls, I need you inside, please.

- Yes, ma'am.

Let me know if you need help.

- Coming!

- All right, I'm almost done.

Lamont, careful.

We're gonna get caught.

No, we're not.

Simon, come here.

Hey, Mom.

- Are you mad at me? Because...

- Take a seat, Elissa.

Uncle Warren.

We have a place for you.

It's a great honor to be chosen.

I don't understand.

Your mother tells me that

you've been getting your monthly visitor.

That means you're ready.

God has spoken to Uncle Warren...

and he's asked us to prepare you

to be placed.

Who am I to be placed with?

God will reveal that tonight.

- Tonight?

- Make sure she's ready.

Yes, Uncle Warren.

Come on, Elissa. Open the door, now!

No. Please, no.

I beg you, Mom.

I don't wanna get married.

I'll do anything.

I love you. Open the door.

- No.

- Come on, Lissie darling.

I want what's best for you.

You know that.

- No!

- Do as your mother says, right now.
