Polygamist leader Warren Jeffs, who is serving a life sentence in prison, has ordered most of his followers to stop having sex except for 15 men -- and the women they men choose --- designated to father all future children for the sect.
The fundamentalist leader, who is still considered the head of the group, issued the edict from prison in Palestine, Texas, where he is serving out his prison sentence for child sex assault, ABC News' Salt Lake City affiliate reported.
The order effectively bans the church's members from having sex with the exception of the 15 chosen men and the church's female members.
"A lot of these revelations are a grab for attention," said Rick Ross, an expert on cults and the Fundamentalist Church of the Latter Day Saints. "He is trying almost through the revelations to maintain the illusion that he is god's elect, he is the prophet. He's saying: 'Don't forget me.'"
All I can say is "super creepy dude.." but since this was established years ago, my comment would just be a repeat. Even creepier, is if someone is going around policing this sort of thing, to make sure someone, who is not designated, does not have sex with any of his wives. Forget TLC's Sister Wives, I mean Kody isn't even "really" married to the other 3. There should be a reality show called Polygamy - Warren Jeff style. I think it would really be a cross between the Twilight Zone, X-Files, Sister Wives, and Little House on the Prairie - with a dash of Lockup.
