More on Outlaw Mormons

I heard something about this on CBC Radio today, as I drove to an event:

Among those who may have been reallocated are some of Winston Blackmore's family. Blackmore is the former bishop of Bountiful. Jeffs demoted him last summer before wresting control of the government-supported Bountiful elementary-secondary school from Blackmore and his followers with the help of a B.C. Supreme Court order.

Jeffs is doing all of this, says Shurtleff, under the threat that people will burn in hell if they don't comply and under Jeffs' threat that he will bring back "blood atonement." Blood atonement is the sanctioned murder of "sinners" by slitting their throats and disembowelling them.

Some Utah legislators have warned that FLDS under Jeffs is no different from Afghanistan under the Taliban.
