Breakaway Mormon Sect Moves to Texas

[nemorathwald]

Click here to read a riveting news story on the website of the Southern Poverty Law Center. It's a story of child brides, rabid racism, multiple wives, and a secretive, religious dictator. A new Waco confrontation could be imminent.

David Allen Steed leads "a breakaway Mormon sect known as the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS)."

"In the two years since he became prophet, Jeffs has ordered all dogs shot; closed the town zoo; forbidden television, holidays, movies and music; banned laughter; forbidden swimming and water sports, and sent "God Squads" of young men to inspect residences and report any violations of his edicts."

--From the first page. Reading the story it just gets worse and worse. This is happening in America.

I've heard a bit about these people, and I remember the NPR story.

I have no doubt that another Waco standoff is in the works.
My solution?
Rather than a big firefight, I think that the FBI should fill thier compound with molasses. They would all be too damned sticky to move, and it takes a LOT of heat to get molasses to burn.

On an unrelated note, I've always wanted my own cult, lots of stupid rich people to give up their money and follow me. We wouldn't stock up on weapons or anything, but I would put all of my effort into recruiting the CEOs of the Fortune 500.

Just a thought.
