Corporation of the Fundamentalist Church (Rulon Jeffs)
Rulon T. Jeffs is the leader of 8,000 to 12,000 members. (Rulon Jeffs--married 19 women, fathered more than 60 children. at last count) The headquarters are in Hildale, Utah, but the group has a strong presence in the border Colorado City, Ariz. as well. Those towns, once known as Short Creek, were the site of the last effort to prosecute polygamists in 1953. Public sentiment turned against authorities after newsreels showed children being taken from their mothers and fathers being thrown in jail.
