doesn't mean they aren't nice people. Most of them are.

I do applaud seeing the compound mixed up, with "apostates" moving in near families who still believe in all that rubbish Jeffs preached. I think the mutual reality checks will do everybody a lot of good.

And the woman quoted in the article was Jeffs's 65th wife? Greedy old stoat, wasn't he?

As for Jeffs, he's where he needs to be. I hope he stays there for a very, very long time.
