THE END OF THE WORLD IN ELDORADO, TEXAS

Have you heard that today is the end of the world? At least in Eldorado, Texas... Warren Jeffs, prophet of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, has looked into the tea leaves and crystal ball and come up with today's date. It is 175 years since the founding of the Mormon Church.

In the news:

• For FLDS, will it be 'just another day at the ranch'? - The Salt Lake Tribune.
• Secret Tapes of FLDS Leader Warren Jeffs - KSL Radio, Salt Lake City, UT.
