one i was very vocal about how much he didn t touch me. about how much i did not want to have a family with him. so, to have the sexual relationship with him was so devastating. it was absolutely being raped. and so, did you go to either rulon or warren and complain? i want to warn jeff multiple times in my marriage with allen, begging him for a way out. explaining what was going on. and he ultimately would reprimand me and tell me to go home and give myself to him body and soul. it was your? fault it was, it was always my fault. meanwhile, the millennium came and went. the world did not end. but something very unexpected did happen. in 2002, rule on jeff s, the seemingly immortal prophet. the man who prophesized he
i went into the courtroom and saw him there. i remember our eyes locking, and an unbreakable deaths there. and holding my ground. facing him. and not looking down but to hold his gaze was like the shackles breaking away. arranged marriages, underage brides. religious freedom. all on trial! but it was also the first time that someone inside of the flds would speak up publicly in a criminal case against the prophet. the grainy courtroom camera rolled, as the process s alleging he enticed 14-year-old elissa into marriage, and insisted that she obeyed her husband and the sexual demands. that man performed a ceremony and told her to multiply and replenish the
