Lost to the Only Life They Knew By David Kelly Times Staff Writer 6/13/05 ""Gideon is one of the "Lost Boys," a group of more than 400 teenagers - some as young as 13 - who authorities in Utah and Arizona say have fled or been driven out of the polygamous enclaves of Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City over the last four years. His stated offenses: wearing short-sleeved shirts, listening to CDs and having a girlfriend. Other boys say they were booted out for going to movies, watching television and staying out past curfew. Some say they were sometimes given as little as two hours' notice before being driven to St. George or nearby Hurricane, Utah, and left like unwanted pets along the road. Authorities say the teens aren't really being expelled for what they watch or wear, but rather to reduce competition for women in places where men can have dozens of wives....The 49-year-old Jeffs is the prophet, or leader, of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The FLDS, as it is known, controls Hildale and Colorado City. The sect, which broke from the Mormon Church more than a century ago, has between 10,000 and 15,000 members. It believes in "plural marriage," that a man must have at least three wives to reach the highest levels of heaven. The Mormon Church forbids polygamy and excommunicates those who practice it." http://news.yahoo.com/s/latimests/20050613/ts_latimes/losttotheonlylifetheyknew

fwd from L Moss Sharman Slaying spotlights pastor, church some call a cult The Plain Dealer, USA 6/13/05 Michael Scott, Plain Dealer Reporter www.cleveland.com "The murmurs in rural Ashtabula County are starting to grow louder: Cult. Mind control. Something is going on in that church....This is a textbook cult case, and there are children who we believe are at risk in that church," said Liz Shaw, a national cult expert who said she has tracked the church since 1999...."This church believes that their bishop' is a prophet of God, that he is the voice of God telling them what to do in every detail of their lives," Shaw said. "The children are in fear of being hit -- but also have the fear of going to hell if they don't work hard or do exactly what they're told to do." The church calls itself the Apostolic Faith Church Body of Jesus Christ of the Newborn Assembly, an independent congregation of some 250 members. The pastor under scrutiny is Charles D. Keyes, 52, a third- generation preacher and self- appointed "bishop" over his church since breaking away from the small Apostolic Faith Church of God denomination." http://www.religionnewsblog.com/11412/Slaying-spotlights-pastor--church-some-call-a-cult
