Yet another Warren Jeffs revelation from God came into the Utah Attorney General’s Office today. Read it here.
It’s dated Dec. 24, the day before Jeffs made two 15-minute phone addresses to the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints congregation. He reportedly told the members that they had until the end of the year to be “re-baptized” by following increasingly strict new rules and paying tithings of thousands of dollars.
Those who didn’t ended up being told they were no longer worthy to attend church.
Those Christmas Day telephonic sermons earned Jeffs a 90-day suspension from his phone privileges this weekend. A Texas prison spokesman said he was punished for breaking a clearly posted rule to only call the 10 people on his approved visitor list. The five days he’s already been on suspension pending the investigation don’t count.
