Son of FLDS “Prophet” Reveals Terrors of Living Through Texas Raid
Son of FLDS “Prophet” Reveals Terrors of Living Through Texas Raid  
Podcast: Cults to Consciousness
Published On: Mon Sep 23 2024
Description: With immense pressure being one of the sons of the FLDS prophet Warren Jeffs, Ammon would do anything to earn the approval of his father. When he was finally “worthy enough” to be called to the holy land (YFZ Ranch in Texas), he was worked up to 22 hours per day doing hard labor for the church. Assuming Warren truly spoke for God, when he prophesied that the government wanted to come take away the chiIdren, the people were only further convinced he was a prophet considering the 300 police who did just that. Ammon explains how the raid was traumatic for all involved and what it was that finally opened his eyes to who his father really was.
