Now, I don't agree with a lot of the things he's preaching, but y'know...if that's what they believe, who are we to say no? Yeah, a lot of it is weird. For example:<br /><br /><LI><I>He has also ordered followers to pull their kids out of the public schools and teach them at home; banned athletics, television and all books except Scripture; and enforced a long-standing dress code that requires women to wear long pioneer-style dresses and men to button their shirt collars.</I><br /><LI><I>Jeffs has prophesied that the world was about to come to an end and that the second coming of Jesus Christ was at hand, only to blame church members for their lack of faith when the events failed to occur, according to excommunicated members.</I><br /><LI><I>Jeffs has demanded church members add $1,000 monthly to the tithe, or 10 percent, that they already pay, leaving many families living in squalor, while his own family lived well in a block-long walled compound of mansions in Hildale.</I><br /><LI><I>The community's youngsters rarely attend school beyond the eighth grade. Instead they go to work, the boys usually in construction, the girls at home, or in family-run businesses, such as the local dairy or food co-op.</I><br /><LI><I>Jeffs is said to wield great influence with city leaders, police and a local judge, most of whom are members of the church. Some say close associates, or "Warrenites," serve as his spies, reporting indiscretions by members of the community back to Jeffs.<br /><br />He is known to travel with bodyguards in a convoy of sport utility vehicles with tinted windows, slipping in and out of church-owned properties in Colorado, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas and Utah.<br /><br />Authorities also believe he may be moving back and forth across the U.S. border to enclaves in Canada and Mexico. The FBI considers Jeffs armed and dangerous.</I><br /><br />Now...none of this is why he's being hunted. Only because of being a polygamist. (Yes, yes, I know: <I>" Jeffs is accused of arranging marriages between underage girls and older men. He is charged with child sexual abuse in Arizona and being an accomplice to statutory rape in Utah."</I> we all know my thoughts on that.)<br /><br /><center>---------------------------</center><br /><br /><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/05/17/unmarried.ap/index.html?section=cnn_topstories"><B>Town won't let unmarried parents live together</B></A><br /><br /><I>BLACK JACK, Missouri (AP) -- The City Council has rejected a measure allowing unmarried couples with multiple children to live together, and the mayor said those who fall into that category could soon face eviction.</I><br /><br />You know...you KNOW!!!...that somewhere, someone on that council has said in secret, in private, to themselves or perhaps to another, "Maybe this'll stop those goddamned niggers from fuckign everything up."
