I have been hearing about the FLDS church for years now. A reporter for Channel 3 has actually won Emmy's for his coverage of the sect in Colorado City. His investigative reports actually led to the warrant to arrest Jeffs. He is still covering the sect today (he actually went to Texas to cover the most recent events).
Carolyn Jessup has been on our news a multitude of times. She is still helping girls escape from Colorado City.
Not to spark another religious debate in the thread, but I think the FLDS church is whacked. They are definately a cult. I feel incredibly sorry for all involved (especially the women and the children), because of the brainwashing that is occuring.
I also think the church as stooped to a new low by doing a campaign trying to show "how good" the church is. That is a bit messed up. Especially with the news coverage showing all the faults and issues within the FLDS church. One ad campaign isn't going to change the facts of what has been occuring within the church, nor do I think it will change many peoples opinions. Those children needed to be pulled out.
