Last week police conducted a stunning raid which resulted in hundreds of women and children being removed from a polygamist compound in Eldorado, Texas. On this 1,700-acre ranch, formerly led by Warren Jeffs of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, children were allegedly sexually abused by older men, and girls as young as 14 allegedly had babies. Dr. Phil goes on location in Colorado City, where he first covered this sect three years ago and where some members of the religious group still live. For the next two days, he explores the psychological ramifications of children being taken from the only lifestyle they knew. Then, Eldorado townspeople weigh in on this unfolding drama. Helen, a volunteer, says she was shocked to see such young girls pregnant and married, and she shows the Dr. Phil cameras what life was like for these kids immediately after they were removed from the compound. Plus, Dr. Phil talks to Warren Jeffs’ niece, Naomi, who escaped from this bizarre religious sect at age 13. His cameras stayed with her every step of the way as she tried to get past police check points, desperate to find the sisters she left behind 16 years ago. And, Naomi meets another woman who escaped the FLDS religious group, Carolyn Jessop, who was married to the second-in-command at Warren Jeffs’ organization and had eight children with him while she says she was trapped inside this sect. Find out the devastating news Carolyn shares with Naomi. Will Naomi’s search finally reunite her with the family she left behind? Talk about the show here.

Find out what happened on the show.

Warren Jeff should also LOSE his priesthood!

Warren Jeff is in jail, but he also should lose his priesthood! Back in the days of Jesus Christ people with a need would travel a long way to get a miracle or a healing. And Jesus would only touch them and say: Go in peace: your FAITH has made you whole. And they would get their miracle. This precious teenage girl in this book BOLDLY took it upon herself to go speak to the 80+ year old prophet herself when she was arranged in a marriage that she didn't agree with and too young. She spent days in fasting and prayer. And when she got her chance: All the prophet said to her was: FOLLOW YOUR HEART! Thus giving this precious, courageous girl the MIRACLE she sought God for. But Warren Jeff DISOBEYED the prophet and stole this little girl's miracle that was given to her by the prophet. And Warren Jeff being only 2nd in command had no right to change the words of the prophet and steal the miracle that the Prophet gave this precious little girl! Warren Jeff should LOSE his priesthood and a leader more worthy should take his place.

FREEDOM

I just finished reading this book this morning and I think one of the BIGGEST THINGS these adults and children are missing is FREEDOM. Founded upon God, America is suppose to be the Land of the FREE. In the Old Testament there are Good and Bad Kings. READ IT. He did what was right in the sight of the Lord. And a few chapters later another king is recorded as doing that was evil in the sight of the Lord. And sometimes the Father was Good and the Son was Evil. Or visa versa: The Son was Good, yet the Father had been Evil. I think thats what you have here with Warren Jeffs. You have an Evil King. And you Latter Days Saints church members shouldn't take it so personally against your religion.

As a generalization: your average God fearing American people see Christianity or Holiness as an elderly Methodist Pastor who visits the sick in the hospital, feeds and clothes the poor and the needy, is busy doing good deeds for others, collects money for those in need, not for his own selfish luxuries, PEOPLE WHO GET ALONG and are KIND to one another.... I mean THEY DON'T BAN SOMEONE from a relatives funeral because they don't attend the church. THEY SEE IT AS AN OPPORTUNITY. You call them apostates... these may call them Backsliders. If a backslider say drinks too much alcohol. THEY WANT them to attend a relatives funeral and sit in the service so that the spirit of God may touch their heart in the service and they make a new dedication and start to return and live right. They don't fear a sinner is going to poison the congregation, but instead they feel they are going to be a good influence on the sinner with their love. They don't have to call the Pastor to say: Can I take a trip to such n such a city? in fear they are going to escape the community. In a church with a Good King so to speak, People feel the love of God... THEY WANT TO STAY without anyone putting any pressure on them or fear of who is tattling. Its a work in the heart when BRETHREN have UNITY and get along.

Its hard to blame anyone for anything in this situation except the LEADER who is holding them HOSTAGE. Because all their decisions are based in fear they are going to be reprimanded, excommunicated or FLESH ATONEMENT. When you even think that way: YOU ARE TAKING GOD'S JUDGEMENT into your own hands. Let God judge! He sees the heart. "Vengeance is Mine Saith the Lord, I will repay."
