It's not just the women and young people in this cult who are exhorted to 'keep sweet' however.

Ezra Draper left the FDLS community in 2002 after becoming disillusioned with Warren Jeffs.
"Utah and Arizona gave us the ability where we could live our religion as consenting adults." he said describing a church meeting held shortly before he left in which an FLDS leader talked about pressure from Utah and Arizona to stop underage marriages and welfare fraud.
"The deal to us was if we would just stop [those things], they would have no reason, or very little reason, to continue to pursue the FLDS, .I thought 'Hallelujah. We've been asking the Lord for peace all our lives.' But before he finished his paragraph he told us that they'd answered Utah and Arizona with 'No deal.'
"I felt like we were basically given the opportunity to have peace, and Warren chose war."

On 26 July 2003, the fiftieth anniversary of the 1953 raid, Mayor Dan Barlow dedicated a monument and established a museum commemorating the oppressive events of that day. Apparently those proceedings occurred without Warren Jeffs' approval. Offended and angered, he ordered Barlow to grind the monument into powder and sprinkle it in the hills.
Speaking in Sunday Church services on August 10th Jeffs suspended all further religious meetings but continued to allow his followers to pay their tithes and offerings to him.

Jeffs went on to proclaim his edict that children leave the public school and ratcheted up his absolute authority after less than two years as prophet in January 2004, by excommunicating about 20 of the community's most influential and longtime residents, including relatives of the towns' founders for lack of respect they rendered to the priesthood (himself).

The men left without a fight, and Jeffs reassigned their wives and children to other more worthy patriachs

Jeffs was also able to take church members' homes because nearly all land in Hildale and Colorado City was owned by the United Effort Plan, a 60-year-old trust that was controlled by Jeffs and a handful of church leaders.

'Reassigned'? their wives and children

- This is not simply an issue of plural marriage but of women and children treated as chattels of men who are themselves subsurvient to a self proclaimed 'prophet'
