Polygamous sect leader Warren S. Jeffs renounced his role as prophet in January, telling family and select followers the Lord considered him a "wicked man" for immoral acts as a young man, according to a court document released Tuesday.

In a series of telephone calls, Jeffs said he had been immoral with a sister and a daughter and, since the age of 20, had not held the priesthood in the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He made a similar statement a day later in a jailhouse visit with a brother.

Jeffs, 51, did not elaborate on the nature of his conduct in those calls and the court document - filed under seal in July by Jeffs' attorneys - doesn't provide any additional explanation.

Jeffs made the phone calls Jan. 24. He visited with his brother Nephi a day later at the Purgatory Correctional Facility, where he has been jailed since his arrest in 2006.

1. Well, if lying is immoral, he has likely been immoral with a whole lotta folks.

So many prophets. So little truth.

3. It ain't just God, buddy.

We all think you're wicked.

I'm just surprised that the Lord took his sweet time considering this man to be wicked. Sometime around the time he was enjoying his sister or violating his daughter would have been better, I think.

Deities. Go figure.

6. Naming it the Purgatory Correctional Facility seems a tad judgmental.

That's Southern Utah for you.
