  We have been charging crimes like incest, child abuse, all kinds of welfare fraud, tax evasion, other types of white collar crimes," he said.

  Shurtleff said they are concerned about the possiblity of a violent confrontation between released members of the sect and Jeffs because being kicked out of this type of group equals having your entire life destroyed.

  "It means you must leave your property, which is owned by the church, leave your business, owned by the church. You now have to leave your wife and children, who are reassigned and given to another man, possibly your brother," Shurtleff said.

  Jeffs has ordered 21 top members of the FLDS, including Chatwin, to leave their church-owned homes and their families in what appears to be a play for even more power. Jeffs, who has dozens of wives, is known as "the Prophet." His church members say they believe Jeffs speaks directly to God.

  No, I didn't catch that program, but I have been hearing lots of stuff on the news about this issue. Seems like there are quite a few cult religions that do great harm to their followers.

  If indeed, the government is beginning to look into such matters, it may cause some other groups to re-think many of their policies--including the WTBTS.
