"I never was the prophet"

"Polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs tried to hang himself earlier this year while he was in jail awaiting trial, according to court documents unsealed by a Utah judge on Tuesday...Jail transcripts show that Jeffs' suicide attempt came three days after a visit with his brother, Nephi, in which he said, 'I am not the prophet. I never was the prophet, and I have been deceived by the powers of evil ... I ask for everyone's forgiveness.' Jeffs also told his brother: 'Farewell forever.'"

The entire article may be found here. Here is a poor soul who has deceived and been deceived. Pray God would yet have mercy on him, bringing him to Jesus. If God saved us, surely saving a polygamist sect leader would not tax His power.
