The best evidence of the dangers of this cult are how guys like Jeffords can run entire towns in Utah of child molesting polygamists and nothing gets done until the federal government takes action.
Most major religious groups do their part to distance themselves from the fanatics among them and do not shield them when they break the law.
Not so with the Mormon Church which for all practical purposes runs state and local government. And I think that says it all. The sin of omission is just as bad as being a participant.

Aren't you failing to discriminate between one corrupt offshoot unrecognized (and I think excommunicated) by the mainstream church and the mainstream LDS Church itself?
I think it's a big reach to say that the LDS for practical purposes runs the state and local government. When I was in Salt Lake City a couple years ago, they had a big Gay Pride parade and festival within a block of Temple Square. I'm not thinking the LDS was a sponsor.
No doubt, the Mormon church is influential, but I'm not exactly sure what you expected them to do about the Jeffords.
