DOUBLEtruck Magazine - Issue XII

The Secret Culture

The Secret Culture Colorado City is home to the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS) which split from the mainstream Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons). Polygamy is the practice of marriage to more than one spouse simultaneously. Recent research states there are as many as 37,000 fundamentalists, with less than half of them living in polygamous households in Arizona and Utah. Most of the polygamy is believed to be restricted to about a dozen extended groups of polygamous fundamentalists. The FLDS Prophet (leader), Warren Jeffs, has been convicted in Utah of 'rape as an accomplice' for arranging the marriage of a teenage girl to her cousin. Jeffs is currently on trial for similar, less serious, charges in Arizona.
