Apocalyptic Warren Jeffs ‘revelation’ ad runs in newspapers across country

UNITED STATES
The Salt Lake Tribune

By Lindsay Whitehurst

The polygamous sect led by Warren Jeffs has taken out apocalyptic quarter-page newspaper ads all over the country.

Labeled as a “Revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ Given to President Warren S. Jeffs,” the ad reads in part: “Repent ye; now be of full humbling; all peoples shall be humbled in full way; as I send full judgements.”

The ad appeared on page A7 of The Salt Lake Tribune on Friday, and also in the Denver Post and Las Vegas Review-Journal, according to Associated Press reporters; in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, minnpost.com reported; and in the Nashville Tennessean, paper staff confirmed.

It also showed up in the A sections of The New York Times and the Washington Post. It did not run Friday in the Deseret News, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints-owned newspaper in Salt Lake City.
