What I didn't know about FLDS
20/20 recently aired a segment covering a mother's and her children's transition from a Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints compound into the outside world. There was one particular fact that struck me right off balance - FLDS teach their kids in school that their prophet, Warren Jeffs, is also the President of America. This was brought up when the teenaged children expressed embarrassment and disappointment in their FLDS education after enrollment into public school. Anyway, I had a literal jaw drop. Has anyone else heard this before? Is this common knowledge in what the FLDS homeschool their kids?

Wow. Not surprised, but wow.

That whole group is messed up, but not at the fault of most of the members. The leadership is evil and power and sex hungry, and the higher up you go the more deliberate it is (IMO).

They're probably in denial that we have an African American president.

I had a skewed perception of that segment since I watched it after reading this thread:
Students Can't answer basic questions about America

I have watched several documentaries about various Christian families/groups in both the UK and USA where they take their children out of school to teach them what they believe to be right the one that really really springs to mind is Westborough Baptist church. I guess sometimes people just have odd ideas about right and wrong - but I know that some people think our ideas of right and wrong are odd too!

I have reservations believing x-anythings about whatever it is they are no longer a part of out of hand.
Something about the wild stories I have read and heard of from x-Mormons leads me to believe they aren't all that credible, or it is some twisted ugly form of the truth stretched beyond recognition.
