Unlike the mainstream Mormon church, which had rejected polygamous marriage - ''especially'' marriage where one of the parties was underage, Jeffs and the FDLS practiced both. Jeffs first began leading the church in 2002 upon the death of his father Rulon. Jeffs believed himself to be a descendant of both [http://real-life-heroes.wikia.com/wiki/Jesus_Christ Jesus Christ] and Joseph Smith. Jeffs exercised almost complete control over the FDLS community as he set himself up as the sole person able to perform marriages, with the ability to punish disobedient men by taking their women and children and "assigning" them to someone else. Jeffs would at times exile members of the community - usually young men - because they were seen as competition by Jeffs and his supporters. | Unlike the mainstream Mormon church, which had rejected polygamous marriage - ''especially'' marriage where one of the parties was underage, Jeffs and the FDLS practiced both.
