This week on Utah NOW, we offer an inside look at The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Brent Jeffs, nephew of jailed FLDS leader Warren Jeffs has written a memoir of his experience growing up in the polygamous sect. The story is about power and sex and the dark consequences of religious extremism. (Rebroadcast)
View or Post CommentsI am impressed with Brent Jeffs and his willingness to not only write his story but to discuss it on television to a wide audience. He is to be commended on his bravery for the above, and especially for leaving the FLDS. I am ordering his book tonight, and I wish him success in whatever he chooses to do with the rest of his life. He is a bright, well spoken young man, and I hope you will relay my comments to him.

(FYI for Doug)
I just wanted to mention that many of the LDS faith also do not believe in dinosaurs and the age of the earth. I found this rather startling years ago (when I joined the faith). Interesting program - thanks!
