polygamy, not for the faint of heart.

According to MSN; the polygamist leader for the Mormon Church Warren Steed Jeffs has been captured in Las Vegas. Reading this article brings back so much memories of high school when I knew so many Mormons. Ahh..the good ol' days. I went to a school where the student body population was probably about 75% Mormons. And you know what? Almost all of them tried to convert me. Yep, one of them even gave me a picture of him from prom with in which he wrote on the back, "Monica, I know one day you will become an LDS." I think he meant an LSD addict because I would much rather be an LSD addict then an LDS member. I can see why they wanted to convert me though. They wanted me to join in on their polygamist ways and give my children 50 brothers and sisters and 50 step mommas. No I'm just kidding. They don't believe in polygamy anymore. Well most of them don't. And if they did, they are probably hiding out in Utah somewhere. There's nothing but desert in Utah. You can't even buy hard liquor there. That is probably why they have so many children, there's nothing to do over there! Just kidding!

All joking aside, this man's name is Warren Steed Jeffs. I knew a Mormon in high school named Jeff Steed. Hmm..coincidence? Just kidding, this man doesn't even look anything like Jeff and plus, Warren Jeffs looks like he's 50 years old. Hmm..maybe his father? Ok enough joking around. Back to the serious issue. He's not wanted for his polygamist ways though. No sirree. He's wanted for forcing a lot of teenage girls into marry older married men. Even girls as young as 13! This sicko needs to rot in hell because come on, who marries a girl who is only 13? Oh wait, John Mark Karr did. Was it John Mark Karr who married this 13 year old? Probably not, he only had 3 children. That's not enough kids for the Mormon Church. In order to be accepted into the Mormon Church one must promise to have at least 6 children. (I once knew a girl who had 13 brothers and sister. That's a lot of kids in this day and age.) And probably keep up with the minimum quota of recruiting outsiders into their church. That's why they need so many children, so they can have their children recruit their peers. Oh, yes, I know their secret now.

His father had about 65 children and Warren himself has about 60 children. Talk about competition. That is why polygamy is illegal. At that rate, you might fall in love with your own sibling. Man, I would hate to be in that family. For every guy I meet, I would have to ask if we are related. That can traumatize a girl. Knowing I've done things with my own brother. Polygamy is not for the faint of heart and I'm glad it's no where near me where I can witness it.
