An Honest and Glaring Portrait

RECEIVED Wed., Aug. 3, 2005

Dear Editor,
    Thank you for this terrifying and very informative account of a “prophet” that has settled in Texas again [“Meet the New Neighbors,” News, July 29]. I was unaware of the FLDS until I read the featured article. If it weren't so unsettling, I would have been surprised to see a “News of the Weird” in the same issue.
    Something tells me that Jeffs and his followers might not last as long as David Koresh did, but if he and his people do, we might have another frightening situation on our hands, this time more prominent due to the availability of large amounts of money and dirty power that Jeffs is accustomed to.
    Thank you for printing such an honest and glaring portrait of what is to come in the future. Someone should send this article to Oprah. Wouldn't that be interesting?
