    I cried at the ending. It’s hard to think about the relationship that could have been if our families would let us coexist regardless of ours and their beliefs

    You’re an amazing guy for pushing through the hurt and pain to bring awareness to what the Order is doing! You can tell it all comes from love for your family! I never thought about the fact that your mom was pushed into the relationship by the only motherly figure in her life. When your parents tell you something is okay, you trust them because they’re your parents. It’s so terrible to put all of this adult stuff onto children when they don’t even have a chance of making decisions for themselves.

    Oh, Eskel. I’m sending you a big hug from Ohio. I’m so sorry that this cult has caused you, your family, and so many others so much pain. God wouldn’t want that. You and your sisters are so incredibly brave and strong, to not only leave but to now speak out about what you went through. I’m so proud of you. 🤗💜

    I have been waiting for you to talk about your mom. I’m so sorry Eskel! I can’t imagine having such a kind, loving son and not being in his life. You’ve got a virtual mama in West Virginia buddy!! Keep speaking your truth, they can NEVER take that from you!! Big air hugs!!

    I know that I always say this, but I really hope your mom makes it out one day. You and your siblings deserve a mom who prioritizes you and your safety. It’s sad her sister brought her into this. Sending lots of love and good vibes your way. Good, but very sad, video Eskel 💛

    Eskel, this was hands down the best video I’ve seen on your channel. Thank you for doing this video and allowing yourself to be so vulnerable in this. The emotions hit hard. So hard. I can see the happiness and the sadness at the same time. I truly pray for your mother whether she decides to stay in or not. It has to be extremely hard and difficult for her. But I also pray for you 4 that are out. A lot of healing has to be done but watching you guys over the last year or so, I have no doubt that you guys will figure it out. ❤

    I recently read Lois Borne's book 'Conversations with a witch'. Lois was psychic and often communed with spirits. In that book, a chapter called 'Communion' talks about the afterlife - she spoke to a deceased friend and learned some things about it - everything in it was my idea of the afterlife - no religion rules it, you arrive and all your ancestors are waiting for you, it sounds peaceful and wonderful. It was eyeopening and confirming - and not hard to believe. It gives great comfort.

    • @hopestar6905
      @hopestar6905 Год назад +1

      Now i have to read that book. I can honestly say, that i am touched and see spirits and even pets wait for you on the other side.

    • @TheJackdaw77
      @TheJackdaw77 Год назад +1

      It was a wonderful chapter, really confirmed my own ideas of the afterlife. I don't fear death - what I do fear is leaving my projects unfinished- a book I am writing - I fear not finishing that before I pass. I have no kids, so that would be my legacy...

    • @Gwaycee
      @Gwaycee Год назад

      A witch divines satanically, every one of them will admit it, so don't believe any such deception. Jesus Christ is the only way, the truth and the life! Not a church, but Jesus Christ, and where He is there is LIBERTY! 2 Cor 3:17. These evil churches have crucified Him all over again and it's all wrong. Any church that imprisons and enslaves people in the name of God is obviously false and should be shut down.

    So sorry you have to experience this fracture of your family due to coercion and control. I hope that someday your Mom and siblings can all learn that they are living a lie and that freedom from control is so liberating.

    Watching you, Amanda and Kami has made me think more than once that the greatest gift your mother gave all of you was your critical thinking. Without it you wouldn't be able to see the inconsistencies and the holes in the rhetoric. I am afraid that she is too entrenched to be able to leave, but I hope she gifts your younger siblings with that same insight so that they can one day join you and the girls. Stay strong, Eskel.

    You are going to be a turning point, a linchpin, in your family’s line. YOU ARE GOING TO FREE EVERY GENERATION AFTER YOU. Your children, will have a loving father. Your children will have the gift of agency. Your children will know their father. Your children will be loved unconditionally.
    It is a blessing worth waiting for. Until it is entirely yours, however, I hope my love and acceptance of you, and the others in this community; and most importantly Christ’s love for you, will sustain you until then.
    ❤️❤️❤️
    Also, just in case no one has told you this today:
    YOU ARE WORTHY. YOU ARE ENOUGH. I LOVE YOU JUST THE WAY YOU ARE. It is exciting watching you grow and become stronger and wiser everyday.
    Thank you, for the price mage and gift of being able to see that. 🙏

    The order is culture of raising children, i cant even put into words the support of bringing a child into the world. It's understandable a mother would have a hard time leaving the community... I wish more focus was on the metal health and growth of a child. Instead it's toxic cuz leaders view women and children as resources, property not individuals.

    I was so sad your mom went back. You can tell how much she loves you all and wants you all to be together. Hopefully one day. I was curious about your little sisters. Are they approaching marriage age soon? Do you think your mom will allow them to get married before they turn 18? Or do you think any of them might follow you to the outside?

    I never grew up in a polygamist family, so I don’t understand at that but I did come from a narcissist family
    I’m in Utah, if you need anything plz let me know; even if it is as simple as a hug

I’m really late to watching this as I had to take a break from watching yours and your sister channel for a little while. My husband is going through EMDR therapy due to the trauma of a different orthodox religion he grew up in.

God doesn’t want his children to suffer and He will hold the adults accountable for what they have done to your siblings. My heart breaks for you in the meantime. Thank you for sharing your story.
