Warren Jeff's Excommunication
On January the 4th, 2004, Warren Jeff's turned up to a morning prayer service. It had been more than a year since he'd taken the top job, but he hadn't been seen in Colorado City for months. The 1,500 plus people in the congregation could sense something ominous. He called out these 21 men by name, told them to stand up and he excommunicated them. These men were divorced from their wives and separated from their children. By removing those in positions of power who had sway over the community, Jeff simply expanded his own control.
