In my opinion, this video seemed very interesting to me. I believe that members of the FLDS church should be referred to as a polygamous sect. I can not understand how disturbing Jeff can be warren to commit so many atrocities. Really Warren or prophet as you want to call it is a desperate demented predator. So many crimes that I have committed against the members of their community, but above all what gives me more impotence is how I force so many women to have sex. Warren is totally destitute and his community can not see beyond the teachings that he imposed, such as what is right or wrong. After being incarcerated his community continues to believe in him, basically considering him a god and not a person who has done harm. It is incredible that while in prison Warren is still in control of his community and that there is nobody to do anything. It is really frustrating to see the power that this man has over his community, in other words how they have brainwashed these poor people. We can clearly see Warren as a dictator rather than a prophet. One of the theories that could be applied to Warren Jeff's video would be the chain reaction of modeling theory. This can be seen through the teachings by …show more content…
It can be clearly seen that the people of this community do not have a natural mental development like any other person, but rather that their development has been blocked.

The Differences Between Mormon and Fundamentalist Mormon

...several points, including views of Joseph Smith, The Priesthood, and Polygamy. Joseph Smith is a prophet of the Mormon Religion that founded The Church of Jesus Christ. The church was founded in Fayette, New York, on April 6, 1830. According to Packham (2011), when Joseph Smith began looking what religion to join he prayed and asked for guidance from God. God, the Father and God, the Son appeared to him in a vision known as “The First Vision”, who told him that all other religions were wrong, and he, Joseph, would create the true church. LDS Mormons respect but not worship Joseph Smith as the prophet and instrument God used to restore the ancient truth and divine gospel (Gordon B. Hinckley, “Joseph Smith Jr.—Prophet of God, Mighty Servant,” Ensign, Dec 2005, 2–6). While FLDS Mormons also see Joseph Smith as the prophet God chose to bring forth the true Church, they worship and praise him and his 19th century doctrines. In conclusion, Joseph Smith is seen as the prophet of God to restore the true church; though LDS Mormons respect him like any other prophet they do not worship him like FLDS Mormons. In Mormon Religion, “The Priesthood is the authority to act in God’s name. The same priesthood authority that existed in the original Church established by Jesus Christ exist in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints today. The Church is directed and led through this authority.” (mormon.org) There are two types of priesthood, Aaronic and Melchizedek. Aaronic priesthood is given...
