The Worst American Jaw-dropping stuff. Here's a taste: [More:]addressing [his father's] recent widows, he said, "You women will live as if father is still alive and in the next room." Within a week, Warren had married all but two of his father's several dozen wives. After this, he continued to marry more women, many of which were close relatives believing these incenstuous relationships are preserving the bloodline of Jesus Christ and Joseph Smith, both of whom he claims descent from.
wait, huh, this is now? Reading that I thought it was some old testament crap. Yowza.

I recently finished reading Under the Banner of Heaven, which has a whole chapter on Warren Jeffs as well as quite a lot more on Joseph Smith and others. He also interviews several women who've run away from these sorts of marriages. Really fascinating (and disturbing) stuff.

I hope they lock him up and throw away the key.

Seconding reading Under the Banner of Heaven; it's very good book.
