Red Is A Forbidden Color

Jessica Rabbit would argue that red is a mighty fine color to wear, especially if you’re going to show a little cleavage, but that’s not the reason why red is banned in the FLDS community. It’s not because it’s the color of the Devil or George Bush’s favorite ties either. Red is banned because it’s Jesus’ favorite color and he’s supposed to wear red when he descends to Earth during the Second Coming. How will you know who Jesus is if everyone is wearing red all willy nilly.

Of course, Warren Jeffs makes up the rules he wants. In 2006, when the FBI arrested him, he was driving a red car – the very color he banned.
