Excommunicated by the Mormon Church, he began calling himself Immanuel David and became the leader of a religious cult consisting of about 20 friends, his Swedish-born wife Rachel and their seven children. Eighteen months ago, the family moved from Duchesne, Utah, to Salt Lake City, where they eventually settled in a $95-a-day, three-room suite at the International Dunes Hotel. They...
