Poly-lies

Polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs, after being convicted of child sexual assault, was removed at his request from the courtroom during the sentencing hearing, but only after he read a statement he claimed was from God that promised a "whirlwind of judgment" on the world if Jeffs wasn't set free.

Thank goodness for that.

Now, after he is sentenced to most or all of his remaining life in prison and there is no whirlwind of judgment, perhaps some of his followers will figure out he's been lying to them all along and that he is not God's hand-picked representative on earth.

Of course, living in their enclaves of solitude, they may only continue hearing lies fed to them by another so-called leader who enjoys taking advantage of the disenfranchised. I hope, for their sake, they find the truth.
