Jeffs also ousted several hundred teenage boys for violations of community rules, sometimes for minor infractions such as watching television, talking to a girl or playing football, though some left of their own choice. Without parents or family, some of these ‘‘Lost Boys’’ became homeless or ended up in the criminal justice system. Jeffs’ actions created and heightened division within the FLDS Church, and critics accused him of blatant disregard for Church law and practices. It was in this highly contentious context that Jeffs set about to establish a new FLDS community in Texas and announced that only his most loyal and trustworthy members could live at the new Yearning for Zion Ranch. By choosing only his most devoted followers, he managed to insulate himself from opponents and reduce impediments to his prophetic demands. The property for YFZ Ranch was purchased in 2003, and by 2005 nearly 500 FLDS Church members were living there.
