Secrets of Polygamy series will show the story of Warren Jeffs. As the head of the ultra -fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter -Day Saints, Warren Jeffs arranged marriages between grown men and minors. He has destroyed the lives of young boys and girls in several states for almost twenty years.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is one of the major fundamentalist branches of the Mormon Church. In 1904, Joseph Smith issued the Second Manifesto, which forbade polygamy. As a result, many members of the Mormon church were excommunicated for continuing to take several wives.
The Story Of Warren Jeffs
Before diving into Secrets of Polygamy Episode 1, let’s quickly talk about Warren Jeffs. FLDS adherents moved into the nearby communities of Colorado City, AZ, and Hilldale, Utah, in the 1930s and this would turn into the sect’s principal hub.
Warren Jeffs was raised in the FLDS religion; his father, Rulon Jeffs, had been a member of the Polygamists Act since Warren was a little kid and had eventually risen to the position of President of the group in 1986. Rulon Jeffs is thought to have had up to 64 wives at the point of his death, several of whom wed him when they were just fourteen years old when they were his only offspring.
Warren Jeffs was now a prominent group leader. Warren thus took over as president and “Prophet, Seer, and Revelator” upon Rulon’s death in 2002. Prior to that, he was the principal of the FLDS private school Alta Academy for more than 20 years.
When he took over in 1976, charges of sexual assault began. Warren would drag boys out of their classes and harass them in the restroom. He used to summon girls into his office, forcing them to take a seat on his lap. He would explain to the kids that what he was doing was in line with God’s plan.
According to his own children, their father also sexually molested them when they were little. He married everyone but two of his dad’s wives in less than a week. When one of the women declined his proposal of marriage, she was instantly banned from getting married again.
Rebecca Wall was the other woman; to get out of the compound, she climbed a wall and sneaked past armed guards. She would subsequently appear in court as a witness against Warren Jeffs.
Warren exercised strict control over the group. Among the group, he was the only one qualified to perform and authorize weddings. Men in their 30s and 40s would be paired with girls as young as twelve. Now let’s discuss when Episode 1 of Secrets of Polygamy will be released and what will happen in it.
