Jeffs' 65th wife Briell Decker "has turned the 44-room mansion where Jeffs and his wives lived into a refuge for other women fleeing the same church."

Just saw this, haven't read it yet, but it may be of interest.

I'm glad there's finally a sanctuary for some of these abused women.

The thing that many don't realize is that this is only one group of many across Utah and nearby states. Most are not this large but if we add the victims it numbers into hundreds of thousands. The smaller ones can be invisible unless observers know what to look for.

I grew up in one of these small groups and knew of many others. My brother married into the Allred group. It's larger than most but not as big as the Shortcreekers.

The mormon mainstream church likes to pretend these are not mormons, but that's exactly what they are, fundamentalist mormon hardliners.
