Joanna, please consider writing your story. I've read several biographies of flds women. Yours would provide a different perspective. If you are up to it, yours is a powerful story worth sharing.
I want to write it in a novel sort of way!!
@@joannafischer1000 that would be cool .. I hope you do but hopefully try and get it out all over the world I am watching and learning from Leeds England UK 🇬🇧 . I am lds and found this channel randomly
I lost my oldest brother when I was 8 as well. I’m so sorry for your loss. I didn’t understand the food that people brought either. So much love to your sweet heart.
@@joannafischer1000 yes a novel, or a podcast, or like you mentioned music! I really enjoyed listening to your story, you are a great story teller and i was captivated the entire time (watching all 3 videos back to back haha) and I didn't want them to end! You have such an amazing perspective, intelligence sense of humor!
Thank you!
I was confused listening to all the changes Joanna's family went through. I can not even imagine what those children and their mother's went through. Thank you for sharing.
This girl seems much older and wiser than her actually age. Cheers. She rocks!
As someone who was super close with my brother and also having him pass away when he was a teen, I SUPER APPRECIATE Joanna being so open and vulnerable when discussing it.
Sending good vibes,light and happiness to Joanna
Thank you so much for your kindness!!!
What a nice surprise to have the second part up so soon! Thank you, that makes my morning.
Our pleasure!
Her story was so captivating!!! She is such an inspirational and beautiful person💗
Thank you! For an entity that preaches family they sure did separate and ostracize certain members of families.
What an extraordinary story. Listening to this interview with Joanna has given us all such an insight into what it means to grow up in the FLDS and the United Order. Joanna’s resilience through all of it is remarkable. I wish her the very best in everything she does. And well done Sam and Melissa for such effective interviewing.
I'm so encouraged by Joanna's resilient spirit and fight! I'm sure God can use her testimony to help others: the good, the painful...thanks for sharing.
This story is a reminder that the good people of Short Creek have been through much grief, loss, love, and they are no different than the rest of humanity, we need to keep an eye out for one another and not let friends get lost in the shuffle, Sam and Melissa, your work has just begun ♥️
There are so many good people out there.
@@joannafischer1000 continue to speak, it is helping many
Joanna was a great storyteller. Her story makes me sad for the plight of Sam’s mothers. How are they able to survive financially? Do they have children still with them that can earn for the remaining family? It also is nice to know that Sam was able to live with the FLDS during more stable and happier times.
One of Sam's brothers takes care of his mom.
Thank you for watching!!!
Such a sweet girl. She seems so innocent still. She’s a lovely girl.
Love this series! I also grew up in the FLDS and left in 2015 so I can relate to all of this :)
I’m glad you got out!!!
I hope you can help others escape as well.
@@jeaninecookson167 Kayla and Joanna leaving at all is incredible. They have done more than enough already.
Wow! Joanna Very sorry for the loss of your brother. I feel so bad that they ripped out your dad and then step dad from your family… this is just terrible and stressful!!! Wonder how your mom and family are today??? Anyone else leave that you know of?
It’s crazy how fast you lose your fight when you grow up in it. And that’s the normal day to day. But it all came back 10 fold!!! Thank you for watching
Thank you for sharing your story Joanna. Your comfort with the camera really grew from the video about the “insider order” to this one. You are a natural storyteller.
Thank you thank you! I was a little nervous on my first one, I’ve just got to speak up a little more
This one particularly broke my heart. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for your support
It’s funny that you and I have led such different lives in very different years, areas, and experiences, and yet I’ve smiled and felt your joy when you expressed your love/need for nature, animals, and most importantly, horses!! Those things that are so dear to my heart and have saved many young girls. Those things that make us strong. You go girl! ❤️
**hugs** to Joanna. 💕
It’s been so good to learn about her!
I relate to her in the way of I lost my older brother when I was 11. It’s hard to go through the motions of grief.
Oddly enough my cousin is dating a Jessop girl in Montana lol
Loss is hard. And at that young you can’t proses it very well. I’m sorry to hear that:(
Such an inspirational strong woman, the world is lucky to have people like you Joanna!
I agree, she’s an absolute blessing to all of us 💞
Hi, Thank you for being so open and vulnerable 🙏
Respectfully, Grace
My heart hurts for Joanna. I lost my beloved younger brother and it is just so painful. It is particularly sad that such a religious sect could expel a child's parent from her life. These matters leave scars.
Loss hurts, I’m sorry to hear that.
Thanks for sharing your story, Joanna. 😊 You truly are an admirable person that can be an encouragement to others, and I love your positivity and determination to do tough things to better your future. Not easy, but definitely worth it!
Thank you so much for your kindness. I tell my story to help others realize there not alone. Thank you for watching!!!
Also, Sam and Melissa, yall do such a great job with these interviews! You ask great questions and really let the guest tell their story. 👏👏👏
Thank you so much!
Joanna! Thank you for sharing your story from your time in Short Creek. I'm always interested in learning more about those who left and are still in that community.
Thank you so much! If you ever have questions. DM me on Instagram and I’ll get back with you!!
@@joannafischer1000 will do, thank you!
Oh Joanna, you are so precious. I hope you can have a normal family of your own & give them the good things you experienced without all the turmoil & dysfunction.
You should be very proud of yourself, Joanna!
This was awesome! Thank you
🙋♀️ Hi all; from Saskatchewan 🇨🇦. Thank you Joanna for sharing your story. 🙏
Your story with Manti and Joanna was so beautiful! I wish them a life of love and happiness for many years to come.
Thanks for sharing Joanna. I love your outlook on life.
So interesting. Thank you so much for sharing your story Joanna!
lovely seeing the 3 of you together ❤
I love watching you guys and I love hearing these stories! Just letting you know though this video is very hard to hear for some reason
I clicked so fast!!
Thank you for sharing your stories. It helps so many people 💗
Thank you!!!!
What a impressive her story.. she have alot experinced in her life.. I love this story.. thanks for your sharing! God blessed all of you :)
Thank you for watching!
Wow, Joanna’s outer beauty, which really is stunning, is actually the least of her.
She’s such an incredibly determined and inspirational person who exudes love and kindness. Which I do think is partly due to her experience in the cult, meaning, she was able to take the good from it and not let the bad taint her to such a degree that the love and gratitude in her wouldn’t be stifled.
I am could listen to her all day. I wish her all the best, although I believe she’s more than capable of achieving anything she wants, because she’s already achieved the impossible.
I’m sure there will still be hard times, but she’s got a heart of gold and a commitment to the truth and taking full responsibility for herself, which isn’t common, and it will look after her ❤️ thank you Joanna if you read this, for sharing your inspirational story with us 🙏🏽🥰💞 I really appreciate it and you inspire me to continue to push on through my difficulties, to face the challenges but to keep my heart full of love and gratitude 💗
Thank you much for sharing your story with us! 🥰
Joana you are such a beautiful, strong young woman ❣️❣️
I found you guys through Mike King Profiling Evil. I find this very interesting. Thank you for doing this and being an open book
Thats how I found you also, through Mike King.
Joanna, you are an incredible young woman! I wish you all the best going forward!
She is so beautiful in many ways. I am so glad she got away from that crap.
Yes, that issue half way through I also had only just realised from the other documentary and it was the most important issue in that other programme that I could see. Warren jeffs became very greedy and instead of a normal trust where all the members held the land in common Warren J presumably ignoring advice from his lawyers made it into a charitable trust in effect with no individuals owning it and it was because of that change in status from a private trust to a charitable trust which meant the state had the power to step in and start giving homes away to apostates. Had Warren J not changed the trust then legally that could not have been done. I suppose it is possible Warren Jeffs made the change illegally and thus the non apostates could get back the land but that would be a very hard case to bring as probably Jeffs forced the then board to agree in writing to change it to a charitable trust.
I would like to make a correction to Joannas story if I may. The taxes on the UEP trust were being paid. After the state took the trust and wanted us to start paying them $100 a month to stay in our homes thats what we were told not to pay because they were our homes and we wernt going to pay them money to stay in them. Thats why the evictions started. The UEP land was all in big plats of land and not subdevided into lots so when the taxes came due we all gave money to help pay them. There was alot of empty land that we were payinh taxes on and when people got evicted and moved out then they quit helping pay the large amount of taxes so yes the taxes got way behind
It's a little hard to hear Joanna in this video.
I have enjoyed this but the sound is really bad. You might experiment with a different area and have the mic closer to Joanna and have her face the camera when she talks. Thanks for all you do.
Thank you, Joanna :)
Thank you for sharing your story Joanna! What was the documentary you were talking about??
Sam have you thought about doing a reaction/comment when the upcoming series "Preaching Evil: A Wife On The Run With Warren Jeffs" and/or just the interviews with Naomi Jessop when the series gets released? It's due to come out on 26 April.
Thank you for the heads up on the upcoming series. I'll definitely want to watch it and do reaction videos.
Wow, this is an hour video??? I just realized you have merch!! I would order something, but nobody would know what the phrase meant. I would order a mug though. Good prices though.
What would happen to their horses/animals when they were completely dependant on the store house or when they moved to other houses? I can imagine that would be as traumatic to have your animals like your horses taken from you as losing a family member.
Lyle made them get rid of all the animals except chickens.
@@vjs4539Very sad, that's a lot of loss.
Yay. That's what my one uncle does, realistate, am I spelling that right? I have 6 uncles. No, we are not Catholic, my grandma had 5 boys.
I’m surprised that her father was allowed to attend the service. So sad how they sent him away and took the families father and husband.
It's interesting seeing even Sam surprised by some of these details.
It's because the time he was in was nothing! Compared to post 2011's. The shitt we been through... like bruh Joanna did a good job telling how things were I can say the suff she is saying is 100% accurate. I'm am still in the flds like I was there till the end I became a nonmember from a restored member. I was never baptized because they had to get word from the prophet. And I was like 12 so I was a moody pubecent boy but aparently that has nothing to do with it and I was just losing the spirit of god. I moved back in with my mom 8 months or so before Lyle was arrested and things have been piddling out from there.
20:20 thank you for the timeline of when Sam left and when the united order happened.
Did Joanne ever see biological dad again after he was sent away? (I'm halfway through the video so I apologize if you address this later!)
I do talk to him sometimes. But it’s more weird and awkward for us.
When will you do another live? Happy Easter
You all should check out "child bride of short creek"... And do a reaction video....
We will put it on the list!
Are the FLDS allowed to join the military and did they participate in the draft?
If they were drafted they had to. But I don’t think they could join unless they left the church.
My dad was drafted for the Vietnam War he said the PTSD, and trauma from losing his family was worse than what he experienced in Vietnam, and he saw some pretty awful stuff in Vietnam.
@@TCOMC32 that’s so sad. I can’t even imagine what our dads went through
I appreciate Joanna's story so much! I would be very interested to learn about women's health issues in the FLDS. These women have so many children & repeated pregnancies. They must be suffering from uterine and bladder prolapse issues. What do they do...just live with it?
I know I'm not in one of these groups but I've had six children in the past nine years and have actively exercised to prevent prolapse since I did prolapse with my second. I have nearly unassisted home births so it is not a medically managed issue.
I cannot even begin to tell you how angry I am FOR ALL of you who've had to put up with and deal with these very obviously mentally ill and evil men in your lives! I've had to take a break from watching this for the moment, so I'm going to express myself. I can't even imagine the trauma that these absolutely wicked men posing as being good and holy have visited upon all of you. The fact that Joanna had to be re-potty trained and that she would just throw up all the time is definitive proof of the absolute abuse that was going on. I can't understand why ANYONE would put themselves, much less their children, through this garbage. That entire organization is completely abusive and criminal and frankly needs to be torn apart at the absolute roots. Anyone who is still a part of this needs to cut ties, turn your back on these criminal monsters and shun them like they do to others. Then please, please go get some therapy. I can't even really express how appalling this whole situation is. I'm so very proud of any and all of you who've stood up and walked away and said NO MORE! Kudo's to you!
Since you and your sister have left the FLDS have you re connected with your dad?
Yes but he doesn’t reciprocate it. So it’s hard to connect with him.
Sound of Music is such a Catholic movie, I am really surprised that it was totally fine for you to watch that, but not to read unapproved history books. I grew up very Catholic, and Sound of Music was one movie that was never questioned as far as being appropriate. It's also one of only a few Hollywood movies that portray Catholicism in a pretty accurate way, rather than sensationalizing it.
Apart from the "climb every mountain" response to Maria wanting to leave the monastery? The philosopher Slavoj Zizek uses to make jokes about the absurdity of the permission. I know people can leave monastic lives, but to search high and low does not exactly seem like the Catholic alternative? I may be wrong, if so I'm happy to hear your thoughts.
@@martah5369 if I'm understanding you correctly (which I might not be), Maria's conduct from start to finish was in accordance with Catholic rules. She was raised by the nuns as an orphan and then thought she wanted to join them, then realized she didn't because of her experiences of realizing she wanted a relationship with the Captain. She wasn't a nun yet, she was a novice -- it's roughly like being really strongly engaged, not married yet. You wouldn't leave lightly or in a whim, but it isn't a sin to leave.
@@lc5666 I was fairly aware of how she complies with the rules, that is not it. It's the emphasis of the head nun, for Maria to not just seek a life in faithfulness to her true calling, which I, Lutheran, would assume is the normal Catholic view, but to "climb every mountain" "til you find your dream" which sounds more like western liberalism. I would probably agree about the rest of the film.
@@martah5369 I took the movie's events to mean that marriage is her true calling rather than taking vows to join the order of nuns she grew up with. But I still might be misunderstanding, but it sounds like we're not really disagreeing in any case. Incidentally, I spent about a year worshiping as a Lutheran, and they were very welcoming. It was a good time in my journey.
@@martah5369 it would be to climb every mountain and pick your dream from among the church-approved options maybe 😅
CURIOUS HOW SAM AND JOANNA ARE COUSINS...
so in the keep sweet docu you see a lot of examples of violence, and forced stuff between super young girls and older men? did that all go away when warren went to prison? also why would he ban s*x ? then no more children are born and the community will end eventually that seems confusing cause he wouldnt want that right?
verry nice video :)
I'm so confused I thought Joanna's story was already posted.. I swear I remember watching it.. but then I saw part 1 posted and this one the last couple days.. so what did I watch before.. I know she was in the video lol
Edit: okay I just found it and there was another video before these.. I was getting so confused lol.. but even as I started watching it like I was having deja Vu and thought I remembered the conversation and everything y'all said .. so weird..
Just excuse me I guess I'm having a moment.. 😂
Is joanna kin to the fischer man that was in your videos?
Amazing to me that God give us free will, but if you are in the FLDS you have zero free will.
I would selling stuff to the girls not dating
Why would someone agree to that kind of life. Give everything to the church including ur time and they won’t even cover the hospital bills?! I don’t understand how brainwashed must u be to think that’s ok
Man I would love to see your family tree...or web....Her ex boyfriends sister is your sister in law and yall are cousins? Lol the connects make my brain hurt
her brother's wife
@@sarahcunniffe4678 she said it was Sam's biological brother's wife
Hi Lark! Yes, that is correct lol. There are a lot of interesting connections/relationships within the FLDS community.
False eyelashes are really distracting.
