FLDS people reportedly brace for apocalypse on Wednesday
Source: KUTV Salt Lake
(KUTV) Members of the FLDS polygamous community sect are reportedly bracing for the Apocalypse on Wednesday.
Elissa Wall, who escaped the FLDS years ago, told The Guardian that Warren Jeffs (the man they consider their prophet) told the FLDS people he will be freed from jail when an earthquake crumbles the walls of the prison.
At the same time, his brother Lyle Jeffs, who ran the FLDS community in his absence but was recently jailed on fraud charges, will break free from the Salt Lake federal court house when he appears for a hearing.
Tonia Tewell, Executive Director and Founder of Holding Out Help, a group that helps about 200 people escape polygamy every year, said she too has heard about the end-of-the-world prophesy and she feels confident Warren Jeffs sent that message to his followers from his Texas prison cell.

Anyhow, the landlord was lucky. The space ship didn't show up. Many years later Bo and Peep resurfaced as the instigators of the Heaven's Gate Cult.

(1,178 posts)What will the FLDS say when the world is NOT destroyed on Wednesday? One possibility is that their prayers were so powerful that god relented. What other good explanations can you think of for this pending non-event?

(1,178 posts)isn't it? They would have to explain that the "horrible" fact that they are still alive is a result of God's testing their faith. The logic makes my brain hurt.

(469 posts)Twice, fairly recently, if I recall. One was the end of the Mayan Calendar on 12/21/2012 (coincidentally, my best friend died that day, so HIS world did end, and mine changed a great deal.) I also recall another supposed apocalypse on Memorial Day weekend in 2012 or 2013. I was at a music festival, and the New Riders of the Purple Sage played "Death & Destruction" to acknowledge it.
