When Rulon Jeffs prophet powers were (naturally) transferred to his son at the time of his death, the already maniacal man became an even bigger nightmare for the followers of FLDS than they had previously known. Using his "powers" he was able to convince them all to go along with ANYTHING, from forced child marriages to the possibility they would have to slice the throats of their wives if commanded. It's awful, but he gets what's coming to him and helps remind us all that they only good cult is a Creep It Real cult.
