My great great grandfather and grandmother came West with a Mormon wagon train, when they arrived in Grand Junction Colorado my great great grandfather took a second wife, but great great grandmother was opposed to this path and left the wagon train with my great grandmother and her other children. That is how my family came to live in Colorado and are not FLDS today. Great great grandmother was one tough women and I thank her.
Carol Dorsett: Wow! Sounds like your Grandmother was a very strong woman! Just the idea of going against the Mormon practices of Polygamy was unheard of, esp in that day & time. I'm sure you've likely considered where you might be today, had your Grandma just went along with the crowd & allowed other wives into her inner family life. I hope you celebrate your Grandmother's strength & foresight - she managed to stop the family's entire future from rolling downhill, which was a true FEAT!!
Religious trauma is so painful. I grew up Christian and was lured into a cult in college. I got out quickly, but it has forever stained the way I view organized religion. My relationship with God is my own now. Nobody tells me how to be a Christian but the Bible.
Those poor poor women, my heart broke for them throughout this documentary. Whatever your religious beliefs, your religion should bring you a sense of peace, a feeling of security and happiness and nothing fearful. These are very brave men and woman who must have an inner strength they didn’t know they had. I hope they continue to live a life of peace & happiness
@Alla Lazukin, Galatians 1:8 says Joseph Smith is in hell waiting the lake of fire. Your son is correct to reject an adulterate stone seer who said the WORD of GOD was corrupted. JESUS said there is neither marriage nor giving in marriage in the resurrection; Mat. 22:30. The question you need to ask yourself is who do you believe in? JESUS or Joseph?
@@madelynereyes248 I read in the BoM Joseph Smith saying " I will be a god to you and my prophets will be my voice, if you do not like it than you must lump it". Joseph Smith said I have more to boast about then Adam, Peter, John, Paul him doing more to keep the church together then any other man that ever lived including JESUS. History of the church P. 408-409.
@@rickhuntling7338 are you part of The LDS Church? Cause we dont even talk about Joseph in weekly basis. Im very confused of why people think we talk a bout this guy like if he is our God! When we go to church we usually talk about being more like Jesus Christ and making it back to Heavenly Father
Such beautiful women. And they were so misled. I do believe that they will be accepted into heaven... such hell they bared in that life. When the Mormons come to my door, I reject them. For that I am sorry, I do not believe in that religion. The worst sin ever to be a pedophile and say that God spoke to them and that it was okay. God bless all the women of polygamy. May they all find their way out. In Jesus name. Amen
“You never know for sure that you have a home in heaven.” I grew up in a religion that taught that and they hold that over your head always as a means to control you with fear.
IT AIN'T ABOUT RELIGION THATS MAN MADE ALL OVER THE WORLD THEY CALL THE CREATOR DIFFERENT NAMES AND HAVE DIFFERENT THEORIES I KNOW ONE THING THERE IS A CREATOR WHO I BELIEVE ONE DAY WE WILL HAVE TO ANSWER TO
I found this documentary about 8 years ago. I have never been Mormon. But on a heartbreaking night after my non-Mormon brother was killed and the two convert-Mormons in my family were trying to hijack his funeral, I reached out to one of the people in this video and she answered and helped save my sanity.
WHAT A HORRIBLE WAY OF LIFE MULTIPLE WIVES SHOULD BE OUT LAWED. HOW CAN YOU GIVE ALL THOSE CHILDREN THE TIME AND ATTENTION THEY NEED. FOR GOD'S SAKES WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE NOT CATTLE
Joseph Smith was a con man. He wanted a bunch of women so he made up all that about becoming gods and having your own planet with lots of wives. Goofy stuff. Joseph Smith discovered some plates with all this stuff on it according to him but they were never shown to anyone else. Such a weird religion with no history but the one man who made this up who hid the plates from God. Even Jesus had twelve men who could testify about Him.
It sounds like Smith made it up as he went along - None of it makes any sense - I think it's about male control and domination and older men wanting younger girls - It also shows how mentally lazy some people are - They listen to one man and do what he says and don't have to think for themselves - This can be said about all religions to a point
Asianna Kate Damn Muhammad lol. Self proclaimed prophet; self proclaimed idiot. I'm surprised he amassed such a large following. This is the first I'm hearing that he was a paedophile though.
My understanding is the that when the Morman’s fled the east and came west in the late 1800’s a lot of men died coming west and they had few men and a large population of females. In order to care for the widowed woman and children and try to repopulate and balance the #’s, they adopted polygamy. Then, sometime later, a bunch of horny men realized they could manipulate the religion and the women to suite their perversions.
In this movie, Sandra Tanner says it isn't true, but even if it were, that has nothing to do with the doctrines men becoming gods and being promised many wives of eternal Marriage to populate their own planets. The story of man dying on the wagon trail or whatever is just an excuse to justify horny men having sex with as many women as they can get away with, the younger the better because it was never about love or truth, but lust and control, lies, sin and satanic influence.
I watched this and cried. I cried happy tears for these men and women and their.childten. They were able to break the chains that were preventing them from knowing our Lord and savior. They found pure love and the knowledge that we will all be forgiven. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This video failed to mention even once the problem with the Lost Boys; how they kicked out the young men out on the street. This would happen often if they began to show interest in a girl. They had no room for young men so the old men could have all the women to themselves. And the mothers would just allow it.
My daughter was baptized in the church as her friends convinced her to go. I thought if this what she wants this then it s fine. She was fine untill she saw this video. She left when she fu kind what was to be expected of her. She went to the Lutheran church and was baptized in my church. I was raised Lutheran in the old German Lutheran faith and I went to parochial church school from 3rd grade to the eighth grade. I was made to think I was better than the Catholics. I later met my true love and if I didn t turn Catholic and take classes I couldn t marry him. These were orders from my fiance s mom. I had to sign a Nuptial agreement and raise my raise our children Catholic then get them baptized take them to Catechism classes, GET THEM CONFIRMED IN ORDER TO MARRY HER SON.I loved him so much that I signed away my life. I fulfilled my part but after 10 years he became bored with me and told me to line up our 4 children ages 18months to six years old to tell them that he never wa red or loved them. This is bad what he told them then that he was going to kill me and them and bury us in the back 40 acre fif his mom s farm property that we built our new home on which 2 acres of land that was a gift from his mom where he d disc our bodies 10 feet under. Shortly after he left to go to work on his 2nd job I gathered up our necessary items and left to live in a re gal house in a nearby
I know exactly how it feels to be deceived by the Mormon religion. I moved to Utah at the ripe age of 19 back in 1985. The valley was predominately LDS (latter Day Saints) back then which made it difficult to find work if you were not of this faith. My family back east didn’t practice any particular religion during this time, so I didn’t have a compass. It felt wrong from day one, and I left after a few short weeks, however they didn’t let me go easily. They hunted me down for years before finally giving up. Thank the good Lord for giving me enough insight and wisdom to reject this “cult like” religion that is so demeaning to women and children. I still live in the SLC area as a Christian, and once in a while a couple of missionaries come by and I welcome a debate.🙏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻✝️
I was born and raised in Utah and The missionaries tried to get me to get baptized for a few years after my little sisters did, mostly out of peer pressure from their friends. They kept trying for years until my mom finally had to get a little mean and tell them if i became interested I knew where they were. My little sisters got baptized because many of their friends were and some of their friends were told they couldn't play with my sisters because they weren't baptized. It is quite frustrating how the cult works here. My husband is Christian and from the east coast kinda on the bible belt. He told the missionaries they could stop by and I was kinda ticked. I told him he was on his own. He did have friendly debate with them and he was really pissing one of them off, but they have not come back since. That was like 2 years ago.
Thank you!!!!! God you actually are enlightened. Please...love your wife, kids....the truth is we are spiritual people living in a physical world,,,, I really believe we can have friendships but sexual ...I think this is sacred....and maybe for some no.... but many woman....its super hard to not be jealous ....imagine if your wife was in a room with a hot sexy male. If you can be ok with her being with a hot date... then I'll say maybe it will work for you But I really think you can't be ok with you wife having lots of lovers.
"Thank God I have a child who doesn't know who Joseph Smith is." Wow, that was powerful and a blessing. I am so glad that there are people who see beyond what pablum is set before them by misogynists and they rise up and ask questions. Peace and Love to all who are good and kind.
Your works won’t get you into Heaven Your sins won’t keep you out Only acknowledging Jesus Christ , the only son ofGod who came to earth and died on the cross as your Lord and Savior !
Peace and love sounds like somethimg they should have. on a T shirt. They sound like the weed smoking "free love" walkimg stds from Woodstock. Back to the seventies Austin...oooh behave. Damn hippies
I was crying like a baby watching Cat cry. So glad that lady gave her a hug because I wanted to so bad. Jesus is his name sweetheart JESUS IS HIS NAME!!
I don't know, I mean, we have a mad person in the WH and he acts whackier than any so called prophet yet millions follow this con man like he's Jesus Christ. When you tell them they're wrong, you get an earfull of BS as long as the Nile River. There's that.
You only know what you've been taught but when you wake up to question then you are ready to truly learn and grow. Leaving your old identity takes guts and glory. I applaud all who have broken the cycle. You make the world a brighter loving place.
@@peteraschaffenburg1 No. What I'm saying is for whatever reason other Christian religions have a hatred for Mormons. There are a lot of false claims on what they supposedly believe that are completely false. One for instance is they are accused of not believing Jesus died for peoples sins. I've often been very curious why there is so much hate directed at Mormons from the other Christian religions. From my experience they are very nice people.
@@nunyabiz627 Does it comfort you that from an atheistic point of view (mine for example), you are all wrong. One of the reasons for atheism is that all these religions claim to know the truth. And you have nothing to show for your faith and claims.
(1) They shouldn't allow Jeff's to continue contact with his victims by continuing to preach to them. (2)Personally, I think still.being in authority means he is still abusing them because I think part of what is happening is criminal mind control. #BeKind if you disagree.
I thoroughly agree with you, however if they did cut off all contact between him and his followers then his followers would see him as even more of a martyr than they do now. The mindset is already ingrained.
Are goal on Earth is to return to our Heavenly Father and live with him again, if we have become perfected dosen't it make sense that we would be God's like him? This helps the continuation of eternal life! That we will one day be resurrected and live forever, that's in the Bible, along with the three degrees of glory ,that no other religions ever mention!
Wow, this is one of the most powerful uploads I've ever seen.. Joseph with his coat of many colours, a perfect ending. The way truth and light sits in your laps forever amen🙏
I’m a Muslim, but had a catholic school education my entire life. I feel really fortunate my parents exposed me to all sorts of religions. I was never forced to believe in one thing over another, instead it was more important to be a kind and honest person to those I met, regardless of a persons’ beliefs. Instead of focusing so much on where YOU will end up (or not end up) in an afterlife (which may or may not exist) imagine how much we could give one another if our efforts were concentrated on helping OTHERS. This was a very moving documentary, thank you for posting! I hope these individuals find comfort and peace, I can’t imagine how hard it was to give their interviews!
Some of your statements I can respect, although I can't necessarily agree with them. I DO agree with the point you make about focusing on helping others. So much scripture, including your own, speaks at length and more than once about loving and SERVING one another!!!! The vast majority of "Christian" mainstream denominations make a pretense of helping others yet don't actually DO IT in PRACTICE. I would hope that more people like you who understand the need and importance of helping their fellow man will take the step of doing likewise
@@avagage1 ok so let's play devils advocate. In christianity (in the bible) young girls seduced their own father, incest ran rampant and lots of other horrors. To quote the bible "judge not lest ye be judged"
I have family members that are mormon. I was born to a Christian family but spent a lot of time around the mormon church bc of other family members. I realized as a child that something didnt seem right to me. I never felt comfortable when I was at the mormon church. Something always felt wrong. As I got older I started to see the warning signs that I wasnt able to see as a child. The day i found out there was a room i wasnt allowed in bc I'm a girl, i never stepped foot back on that property. In that moment I felt God telling me "this is not my house. I would never deny u entrance". Its caused a lot of heartbreak and worry for me. I love my family members but have to keep a safe distance for the sake of my own children. I've gotten wedding and birth announcements over the years for events I couldnt attend bc I'm not mormon. The modern day mormon church still separates families. They caused divides amongst loved ones. One of my cousins left the mormon faith and I'm so proud for him. I've seen so much positive change in his family since they felt that cult and came to God. I pray more will leave too but I'm not hopeful. Sadly I believe they are too lost. I really want to share this video but I fear it only push them further away. Can someone help guide me on how to open conversations with them?
Hi Ashley, no one is ever "too lost". Don't give up and don't stop praying. Main Street Church published a series called "Missionary 911" (you can google it) and it is basically a simple training course to help Christians have effective conversations with Mormons. It was made with the missionaries in mind, but the principles apply to non-missionaries.
This is incredibly sad, I have known my fair share of “mormons” in my life. These men I met and their family’s were NOT holy men. They were sick abusive disgusting. Thier family’s were scared, abused and brainwashed. To know that these people could break free and rebuild themselves speaks to how strong we are as people. ❤❤ love to all the human race.
@@mckster56 Satan is better than Christian god. Satan didn't drown an entire planet because he didn't get his way(*according to scriptures) The Satanic bible also specifically states to not harm small children. Satan is looking like the better man every day.
ITA! I think I’ve watched just about all of them (no idea why I find this so fascinating!) and this one rings true and taught me a couple of things I didn’t get from the others.
How are you following Jesus Christ? Do you keep THE COMMANDMENTS OF HE LORD? Do you do THE WILL OF THE LORD? Are you a DOER OF THE WORD? Do you condemn the practice of Polygyny? If you condemn the practice of Polygyny then you are the children of the devil, and not the children of THE LORD. Watch out what you are saying. You should live in fear. FEAR THE LORD and depart from evil.
JohanEmanuel Paulsson You are BRAINWASHED. If u put Joseph Smith above Jesus, you’re NOT a “christian.” You won’t make it to “heaven,” but instead will be reincarnated back on earth as a woman next time - and have to live the kind of life u have forced on so many females. Thats called “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.” (AKA karma) If your IDOLS / CONTROLLERS knew u were on the internet, you’d be ex-communicated. But as long as they allow u to marry multiple 14 yr old girls, without having to pay for their housing or expenses, you will blindly keep following them. Because it’s all about your dick, not God! You are a pedophile & blashphemer! Girls AND BOYS are leaving you perves by the dozens every day. They say they’d rather go to hell and be with REAL FRIENDS than be “in heaven with people like you.” (Because “living there WAS HELL.”) WAKE UP & USE YOUR GOD-GIVEN 🧠!
Becky Weaver I am not a Mormon by believing that Polygyny is according to THE WILL OF THE LORD. I am not a Muslim by believing that Polygyny is according to THE WILL OF THE LORD. You are a liar. You are changing and twisting the scripture in order for you to keep on sinning against: 1. THE SCRIPTURE 2. THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD 3. THE WILL OF THE LORD You are BRAINDAMAGED. You do not follow Jesus Christ. You do not use your conscience. You do not FEAR THE LORD. I am using my conscience. You are searing your conscience. I follow what the scripture says about marriage, and you reject what the scripture says about marriage.
It is genuinely disturbing to hear them say that their pain was to such a degree that they openly chose that they’d willingly go to hell rather than continue as they’d been. Nothing can truly show just how awful this practice is like people openly choosing to take an eternity of torment rather than remain as they have been.
I am a Christian in the UK, when the mormons next knock at my door it gives me a greater understanding of what they all about. Such an encouraging film and such lovely people who have seen the light and found Jesus Christ. I do hope and pray that the video will help encourage those who are not sure about their mormon faith. Thank goodness that Warren Jef is incarcerated, shame they don't arrest more like him. I do think that they ought not to let him communicate with his followers via the prison.
To the lady who cried and was hugged by the gal in the red, that was so sweet…I want to hug that woman too…bless her heart. God’s got you darlin’, he’s got you and he will not let you go! I hope your ok today. This is someone I don’t think I will ever forget!
Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) involves a pattern of self-centered, arrogant thinking and behavior, a lack of empathy and consideration for other people, and an excessive need for admiration. Others often describe people with NPD as cocky, manipulative, selfish, patronizing, and demanding.
It's really tough when your raised mainstream mormon. It's even hard to leave when your 18 because they get you with the cheap tuition at the byu colleges.
It is so heartwarming that all of these people have found Jesus Christ. "I know about Joseph with the coat of many colors" brought tears to my eyes. Praise the Lord for He is good!
A beautiful documentary. The testimony of these women has really blessed me. Our powerful God reaches out to us where are and loves us so much that He is thrilled to bring us into relationship with Him! Hallelujah!! What a Savior!!
I live in Utah and have always thought it would be cool to have a porn production company called Bring Them Young productions. That focuses on 18 year old byu students banging each other.
Bring 'em young. Or bring him young.....as much as there is wrong with alot of these beliefs I DO believe people can live polygamist lifestyles, but it's a fine line between how many are too many wives and children to take care of. Ya know? I dont practice and wont, BUT I do know how some people can do this "right"
Oh my goodness, the tears flowed on this one. What sweet souls, God’s children. So glad they have found the love and the happiness they deserve. ♥️ God is good.

I sometimes make the "there" "they're" error and even the "their" "there" mistake.
I was horrified when I learned more about the theology of the morman fait. It is the original sin. You can do every right follow a set of rules but Christian theology is very clear the only way to salvation is through Christ.
Domestic abuse comes in many shapes and forms. The women who found the courage to find themselves are inspiring. They left the church and found a kinder god. Religions are varied and vast, often a contradiction in so many respects. but loving a god should never be associated with pain or fear...
I love the way these woman spoke of salvation and your walk with the Lord. "It's a gift, and if you have to pay for it, then it isn't free, and then it's not a gift!" Amen to that Sister! I could just feel the love in their testimonies. Reminded me so much of the old timers that have now gone on to be with the Lord, that I grew up with in the church. Oh how I miss them and wish that they were here today to guide our young people. So many people have lost that attitude. Lost the "Look what the Lord has done for me." Way of living. These people reminded me of them. I just hope and pray that one day God give me the words to become as wise as them!! I'm so glad that I watched this and heard the good news that the Lord has to share with somebody who might stumble onto this video! Thanks for telling your story and telling us your testimony. It blessed me to hear it!!
The testimonies of these women and men at the end of this video are touching. I am sitting here in tears, glory to God in the highest. All praise to our king.
Praise God...glad you found your way..well spoken..brong tears to my eyes bless them oh lord for this testimony..from dark to light..i was blind but now i see.
These people are so traumatised from the abuse they have suffered that they need long term counselling, not a replacement belief system. They are broken and deprived. Their lives have been stolen, their spirit broken so that now only a placebo can bring them some peace. The authorities should be able to speak to those still imprisoned, to check on their welfare.
you articulate so well a basic truth without blind anger which is so difficult. i personally feel such a need to express my arguments against all religeons without an appropriate answer for an alternative which i do not need but most of humanity deserves.

Many blessings to Shield and Refuge, and thank you to all of these individuals who have stepped forward to speak of their experiences. I still follow this topic to a degree, after spending years focused on it as a personal interest, from 2007 to 2015.
At the end of this story, I heard this beautiful woman, who sat me right down in the middle of cooking dinner say, "Hallelujah, I have a child who doesn't know who Joseph Smith is". I have a brother and sister who converted to Mormonism. My heart and soul cried, with sadness for them, and for joy for this sweet woman.
Listening to all of these amazing individuals discovering their true faith in Christ and the pure, unadulterated joy in their voices, the tears of happiness they shed is enough to convert even the hardest of hearts to Christianity. May God Bless them in this life and the next.
I used to always make jokes about polygamy and say things about who would want the torture of having more than one wife because having one is difficult enough. Until today and watching a few documentaries discussing the actual practice of polygamy I was entirely ignorant of how incredibly abusive and harmful the practice is and now feel like such an idiot for making quips about it in the past. It’s so sad to see it still exists to this day and just how harmful it is. But learning more about the practice is eye opening to consider things such as Joseph Smith essentially introduced the belief and made it such an integral aspect of the faith primarily because he was cheating on his wife, was going to have it exposed, and wrote the belief up to all in all justify the things he’d been doing and allow himself to continue what he was doing because of how it would’ve threatened his power if his activity was exposed without him writing the practice into the faith like he did. And the practice remains today I’m guessing just to allow the leader in power to have justified sex with whoever he wants to have sex with since the religion forbids sex outside of marriage. It’s such a sad and abusive practice to consider that a key religious requirement of their religion essentially boils down to the leader justifying his behavior that conflicted against the faith he was a prophet of and providing the pathway to allow him to have sex with whoever he wants. After all there’s not much else to explain why you’d have 50+ wives outside of wanting to have sex with whoever walks. So nasty how evil men abuse religion to allow for themselves to conduct evil deeds and cause immense harm to the people who are then forced to comply with it.
If you take any thoughts away on this, remember you always think your spiritual way is the best. I am a Christian and love God but not everyone wants to do this and I respect their individual feelings. So set that aside and realize this is an eye-opener about people being misused and abused by a cult-like group. Have a heart and humanity. Feel for their pain.
As someone who was raised to believe in nothing and be atheist ~ I know god is with me, he took me into his world when I was young in the form of a children youth group. My parents withdrew me when they learned of the faith, but that Christmas the group delivered presents to me despite my parents wishes. For a long time I thanked those people, but who I really should have thanked, was god for never giving up on me, even when my parents tried to hide me. They eventually allowed me to go, and since have left that group, but god will always be with me. This video especially the last 20 minutes or so about how everyone found god and Jesus gave me GOOSEBUMPS. Bless you lord; thank you for saving us all.
This was the very best of all the documentaries I have watched on these polygamous cults. I recognized as a Christian that The FLDS, The Order, The AUB, and other off-shoots were not of God, but I was so confused as to the mainstream Mormon Church. I am able to understand the history of Joseph Smith and The Church of Latter Day Saints so much better because of this documentary. These precious precious people touched my heart and reminded me why I choose God. Thank you, each of you, for sharing your stories. I am sure God will continue to bless you and make his face shine upon you.
He got caught cheating and lied and came up with a whole religion to make himself feel better imo

Religious trauma is so painful. I grew up Christian and was lured into a cult in college. I got out quickly, but it has forever stained the way I view organized religion. My relationship with God is my own now. Nobody tells me how to be a Christian but the Bible.
Finally, someone speaks truth, Amen.!
The bible is written by man.

I grew up in a religion that taught that and they hold that over your head always as a means to control you with fear.

I found this documentary about 8 years ago. I have never been Mormon. But on a heartbreaking night after my non-Mormon brother was killed and the two convert-Mormons in my family were trying to hijack his funeral, I reached out to one of the people in this video and she answered and helped save my sanity.
I am so sorry your brother was killed, that's horrible!

Joseph Smith was a con man. He wanted a bunch of women so he made up all that about becoming gods and having your own planet with lots of wives. Goofy stuff. Joseph Smith discovered some plates with all this stuff on it according to him but they were never shown to anyone else. Such a weird religion with no history but the one man who made this up who hid the plates from God.
Even Jesus had twelve men who could testify about Him.
It sounds like Smith made it up as he went along - None of it makes any sense - I think it's about male control and domination and older men wanting younger girls - It also shows how mentally lazy some people are - They listen to one man and do what he says and
don't have to think for themselves - This can be said about all religions to a point
carol alter it's hard to think for yourself when from the moment you're born you weren't allowed to.
carol alter Duh....ya think?
Asianna Kate Damn Muhammad lol. Self proclaimed prophet; self proclaimed idiot. I'm surprised he amassed such a large following. This is the first I'm hearing that he was a paedophile though.
My understanding is the that when the Morman’s fled the east and came west in the late 1800’s a lot of men died coming west and they had few men and a large population of females. In order to care for the widowed woman and children and try to repopulate and balance the #’s, they adopted polygamy.
Then, sometime later, a bunch of horny men realized they could manipulate the religion and the women to suite their perversions.
In this movie, Sandra Tanner says it isn't true, but even if it were, that has nothing to do with the doctrines men becoming gods and being promised many wives of eternal Marriage to populate their own planets.
The story of man dying on the wagon trail or whatever is just an excuse to justify horny men having sex with as many women as they can get away with, the younger the better because it was never about love or truth, but lust and control, lies, sin and satanic influence.
I watched this and cried. I cried happy tears for these men and women and their.childten. They were able to break the chains that were preventing them from knowing our Lord and savior. They found pure love and the knowledge that we will all be forgiven. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I wish there was a "love" button here. I cried for all these lost souls, and love the fact their names are now written in the Book of Life. God bless.
This video failed to mention even once the problem with the Lost Boys; how they kicked out the young men out on the street. This would happen often if they began to show interest in a girl. They had no room for young men so the old men could have all the women to themselves. And the mothers would just allow it.

My daughter was baptized in the church as her friends convinced her to go. I thought if this what she wants this then it s fine. She was fine untill she saw this video. She left when she fu kind what was to be expected of her. She went to the Lutheran church and was baptized in my church. I was raised Lutheran in the old German Lutheran faith and I went to parochial church school from 3rd grade to the eighth grade. I was made to think I was better than the Catholics. I later met my true love and if I didn t turn Catholic and take classes I couldn t marry him. These were orders from my fiance s mom. I had to sign a Nuptial agreement and raise my raise our children Catholic then get them baptized take them to Catechism classes, GET THEM CONFIRMED IN ORDER TO MARRY HER SON.I loved him so much that I signed away my life. I fulfilled my part but after 10 years he became bored with me and told me to line up our 4 children ages 18months to six years old to tell them that he never wa red or loved them. This is bad what he told them then that he was going to kill me and them and bury us in the back 40 acre fif his mom s farm property that we built our new home on which 2 acres of land that was a gift from his mom where he d disc our bodies 10 feet under.

AMEN! I pray that EVERYONE trapped in any cult would somehow see this and come to know the truth and believe in Jesus!!! 🙌🏼👍😍
The fundamental problem with all these is thinking they can become gods
Exactly!! Blows the mind...how do people believe such drivel?!
I know exactly how it feels to be deceived by the Mormon religion. I moved to Utah at the ripe age of 19 back in 1985. The valley was predominately LDS (latter Day Saints) back then which made it difficult to find work if you were not of this faith. My family back east didn’t practice any particular religion during this time, so I didn’t have a compass.
It felt wrong from day one, and I left after a few short weeks, however they didn’t let me go easily. They hunted me down for years before finally giving up.
Thank the good Lord for giving me enough insight and wisdom to reject this “cult like” religion that is so demeaning to women and children.
I still live in the SLC area as a Christian, and once in a while a couple of missionaries come by and I welcome a debate.🙏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻✝️
@Emerald Sullivan can you please share?
I was born and raised in Utah and The missionaries tried to get me to get baptized for a few years after my little sisters did, mostly out of peer pressure from their friends. They kept trying for years until my mom finally had to get a little mean and tell them if i became interested I knew where they were. My little sisters got baptized because many of their friends were and some of their friends were told they couldn't play with my sisters because they weren't baptized. It is quite frustrating how the cult works here. My husband is Christian and from the east coast kinda on the bible belt. He told the missionaries they could stop by and I was kinda ticked. I told him he was on his own. He did have friendly debate with them and he was really pissing one of them off, but they have not come back since. That was like 2 years ago.
Thank you!!!!! God you actually are enlightened. Please...love your wife, kids....the truth is we are spiritual people living in a physical world,,,, I really believe we can have friendships but sexual ...I think this is sacred....and maybe for some no.... but many woman....its super hard to not be jealous ....imagine if your wife was in a room with a hot sexy male. If you can be ok with her being with a hot date... then I'll say maybe it will work for you But I really think you can't be ok with you wife having lots of lovers.
Why can't women have more than one man? These people are soooo messed up!
God bless and keep you
"Thank God I have a child who doesn't know who Joseph Smith is." Wow, that was powerful and a blessing. I am so glad that there are people who see beyond what pablum is set before them by misogynists and they rise up and ask questions. Peace and Love to all who are good and kind.

Anyone who declares himself a "prophet" is a mad person. How can people NOT see that.
I don't know, I mean, we have a mad person in the WH and he acts whackier than any so called prophet yet millions follow this con man like he's Jesus Christ. When you tell them they're wrong, you get an earfull of BS as long as the Nile River. There's that.
I believe in this life si style I love having a lot kids
"Is a mad person" hahahahahahha
It’s not “mad,” it’s arrogance.
As is Muhammad in Islam, but they sure believe in him as their savior.... The Jews also believe Jesus was only a prophet as well...

@@nunyabiz627 So you think that pointing out how poisiness religion (I think any religion) is, is just propaganda?
@@peteraschaffenburg1 No. What I'm saying is for whatever reason other Christian religions have a hatred for Mormons. There are a lot of false claims on what they supposedly believe that are completely false. One for instance is they are accused of not believing Jesus died for peoples sins. I've often been very curious why there is so much hate directed at Mormons from the other Christian religions. From my experience they are very nice people.
@@nunyabiz627 Does it comfort you that from an atheistic point of view (mine for example), you are all wrong. One of the reasons for atheism is that all these religions claim to know the truth. And you have nothing to show for your faith and claims.
(1) They shouldn't allow Jeff's to continue contact with his victims by continuing to preach to them. (2)Personally, I think still.being in authority means he is still abusing them because I think part of what is happening is criminal mind control. #BeKind if you disagree.
I thoroughly agree with you, however if they did cut off all contact between him and his followers then his followers would see him as even more of a martyr than they do now. The mindset is already ingrained.
The folks who found out the whole truth are heroic.

This helps the continuation of eternal life! That we will one day be resurrected and live forever, that's in the Bible, along with the three degrees of glory ,that no other religions ever mention!

.... Mmm
I’m a Muslim, but had a catholic school education my entire life. I feel really fortunate my parents exposed me to all sorts of religions. I was never forced to believe in one thing over another, instead it was more important to be a kind and honest person to those I met, regardless of a persons’ beliefs. Instead of focusing so much on where YOU will end up (or not end up) in an afterlife (which may or may not exist) imagine how much we could give one another if our efforts were concentrated on helping OTHERS. This was a very moving documentary, thank you for posting! I hope these individuals find comfort and peace, I can’t imagine how hard it was to give their interviews!
Muhammad had many wives including a 6 year old child, how do you feel about that?
And what if the belief is against the law?
No offense but maybe your lack of concern about the afterlife may be a reflection of the afterlife offered in Islam, especially for women.
Some of your statements I can respect, although I can't necessarily agree with them. I DO agree with the point you make about focusing on helping others. So much scripture, including your own, speaks at length and more than once about loving and SERVING one another!!!! The vast majority of "Christian" mainstream denominations make a pretense of helping others yet don't actually DO IT in PRACTICE. I would hope that more people like you who understand the need and importance of helping their fellow man will take the step of doing likewise
@@avagage1 ok so let's play devils advocate. In christianity (in the bible) young girls seduced their own father, incest ran rampant and lots of other horrors. To quote the bible "judge not lest ye be judged"
I have family members that are mormon. I was born to a Christian family but spent a lot of time around the mormon church bc of other family members. I realized as a child that something didnt seem right to me. I never felt comfortable when I was at the mormon church. Something always felt wrong. As I got older I started to see the warning signs that I wasnt able to see as a child. The day i found out there was a room i wasnt allowed in bc I'm a girl, i never stepped foot back on that property. In that moment I felt God telling me "this is not my house. I would never deny u entrance". Its caused a lot of heartbreak and worry for me. I love my family members but have to keep a safe distance for the sake of my own children. I've gotten wedding and birth announcements over the years for events I couldnt attend bc I'm not mormon. The modern day mormon church still separates families. They caused divides amongst loved ones. One of my cousins left the mormon faith and I'm so proud for him. I've seen so much positive change in his family since they felt that cult and came to God. I pray more will leave too but I'm not hopeful. Sadly I believe they are too lost. I really want to share this video but I fear it only push them further away. Can someone help guide me on how to open conversations with them?
Hi Ashley, no one is ever "too lost". Don't give up and don't stop praying. Main Street Church published a series called "Missionary 911" (you can google it) and it is basically a simple training course to help Christians have effective conversations with Mormons. It was made with the missionaries in mind, but the principles apply to non-missionaries.
Thank you for this this just makes me know that leaving the LDS was the right thing to do.
This is incredibly sad, I have known my fair share of “mormons” in my life. These men I met and their family’s were NOT holy men. They were sick abusive disgusting. Thier family’s were scared, abused and brainwashed.
To know that these people could break free and rebuild themselves speaks to how strong we are as people. ❤❤ love to all the human race.
The whole idea of men becoming God’s is so troubling to me. There is ONLY ONE GOD and we’re not going become god in any shape or form.
Even Satan said I will be like the most high...he knew he couldn't be a god. How can a mere human?
@@mckster56 Satan is better than Christian god. Satan didn't drown an entire planet because he didn't get his way(*according to scriptures) The Satanic bible also specifically states to not harm small children. Satan is looking like the better man every day.

Beware of false prophets
They're ALL. False.
How are you following Jesus Christ?
Do you keep THE COMMANDMENTS OF HE LORD? Do you do THE WILL OF THE LORD?
Are you a DOER OF THE WORD?
Do you condemn the practice of Polygyny?
If you condemn the practice of Polygyny then you are the children of the devil, and not the children of THE LORD.
Watch out what you are saying.
You should live in fear. FEAR THE LORD and depart from evil.
Newsflash: They’re ALL false prophets.
JohanEmanuel Paulsson You are BRAINWASHED. If u put Joseph Smith above Jesus, you’re NOT a “christian.”
You won’t make it to “heaven,” but instead will be reincarnated back on earth as a woman next time - and have to live the kind of life u have forced on so many females. Thats called “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.” (AKA karma)
If your IDOLS / CONTROLLERS knew u were on the internet, you’d be ex-communicated. But as long as they allow u to marry multiple 14 yr old girls, without having to pay for their housing or expenses, you will blindly keep following them. Because it’s all about your dick, not God! You are a pedophile & blashphemer!
Girls AND BOYS are leaving you perves by the dozens every day. They say they’d rather go to hell and be with REAL FRIENDS than be “in heaven with people like you.” (Because “living there WAS HELL.”)

I am not a Mormon by believing that Polygyny is according to THE WILL OF THE LORD.
I am not a Muslim by believing that Polygyny is according to THE WILL OF THE LORD.
You are a liar. You are changing and twisting the scripture in order for you to keep on sinning against:
1. THE SCRIPTURE
2. THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD
3. THE WILL OF THE LORD
You are BRAINDAMAGED. You do not follow Jesus Christ.
You do not use your conscience. You do not FEAR THE LORD.
I am using my conscience. You are searing your conscience.
I follow what the scripture says about marriage, and you reject what the scripture says about marriage.

I really appreciate this posting!
It is genuinely disturbing to hear them say that their pain was to such a degree that they openly chose that they’d willingly go to hell rather than continue as they’d been. Nothing can truly show just how awful this practice is like people openly choosing to take an eternity of torment rather than remain as they have been.
I am a Christian in the UK, when the mormons next knock at my door it gives me a greater understanding of what they all about. Such an encouraging film and such lovely people who have seen the light and found Jesus Christ. I do hope and pray that the video will help encourage those who are not sure about their mormon faith. Thank goodness that Warren Jef is incarcerated, shame they don't arrest more like him. I do think that they ought not to let him communicate with his followers via the prison.
I kept mishearing Brigham Young as "bring em young" I'm not joking!! It keeps happening!!! I guess it is fitting when you consider it

I see huge issues with inbreeding.
Line B
You're correct. Inbreeding is really, really bad there. There a lot of genetic diseases amongst the FLDS.
there is an issue with that...same with the Amish and Hutterites. Our children's hospitals are filled with Hutterites
In breeding ? But look they dont look mongoloid! They are making purebred humans
Maybe your hospital is inthe middle of the huterite community so its all huterites
Line B you are right! "Inbreeding" is definitely not good...ironically, you proved your own point without even realizing it😂😂😂
I love the way these woman spoke of salvation and your walk with the Lord. "It's a gift, and if you have to pay for it, then it isn't free, and then it's not a gift!" Amen to that Sister! I could just feel the love in their testimonies. Reminded me so much of the old timers that have now gone on to be with the Lord, that I grew up with in the church. Oh how I miss them and wish that they were here today to guide our young people. So many people have lost that attitude. Lost the "Look what the Lord has done for me." Way of living.

These people are so traumatised from the abuse they have suffered that they need long term counselling, not a replacement belief system. They are broken and deprived. Their lives have been stolen, their spirit broken so that now only a placebo can bring them some peace. The authorities should be able to speak to those still imprisoned, to check on their welfare.
Bible is the only book and Jesus is the only way to haven to the everlasting life
you articulate so well a basic truth without blind anger which is so difficult. i personally feel such a need to express my arguments against all religeons without an appropriate answer for an alternative which i do not need but most of humanity deserves.

Dear GOD their stories are heartbreaking.
At the end of this story, I heard this beautiful woman, who sat me right down in the middle of cooking dinner say, "Hallelujah, I have a child who doesn't know who Joseph Smith is". I have a brother and sister who converted to Mormonism. My heart and soul cried, with sadness for them, and for joy for this sweet woman.
Listening to all of these amazing individuals discovering their true faith in Christ and the pure, unadulterated joy in their voices, the tears of happiness they shed is enough to convert even the hardest of hearts to Christianity. May God Bless them in this life and the next.

What a beautiful documentary. Already shared it. Blessings.
I used to always make jokes about polygamy and say things about who would want the torture of having more than one wife because having one is difficult enough. Until today and watching a few documentaries discussing the actual practice of polygamy I was entirely ignorant of how incredibly abusive and harmful the practice is and now feel like such an idiot for making quips about it in the past. It’s so sad to see it still exists to this day and just how harmful it is. But learning more about the practice is eye opening to consider things such as Joseph Smith essentially introduced the belief and made it such an integral aspect of the faith primarily because he was cheating on his wife, was going to have it exposed, and wrote the belief up to all in all justify the things he’d been doing and allow himself to continue what he was doing because of how it would’ve threatened his power if his activity was exposed without him writing the practice into the faith like he did. And the practice remains today I’m guessing just to allow the leader in power to have justified sex with whoever he wants to have sex with since the religion forbids sex outside of marriage. It’s such a sad and abusive practice to consider that a key religious requirement of their religion essentially boils down to the leader justifying his behavior that conflicted against the faith he was a prophet of and providing the pathway to allow him to have sex with whoever he wants. After all there’s not much else to explain why you’d have 50+ wives outside of wanting to have sex with whoever walks. So nasty how evil men abuse religion to allow for themselves to conduct evil deeds and cause immense harm to the people who are then forced to comply with it.
That sweet lady at 27:45 made me burst out in tears 😔 That's devastating how she would rather die than be forced into marriage
If you take any thoughts away on this, remember you always think your spiritual way is the best. I am a Christian and love God but not everyone wants to do this and I respect their individual feelings. So set that aside and realize this is an eye-opener about people being misused and abused by a cult-like group. Have a heart and humanity. Feel for their pain.
I agree. Well said. I'm not religious but still respect people's beliefs. :)
As someone who was raised to believe in nothing and be atheist ~ I know god is with me, he took me into his world when I was young in the form of a children youth group. My parents withdrew me when they learned of the faith, but that Christmas the group delivered presents to me despite my parents wishes. For a long time I thanked those people, but who I really should have thanked, was god for never giving up on me, even when my parents tried to hide me. They eventually allowed me to go, and since have left that group, but god will always be with me. This video especially the last 20 minutes or so about how everyone found god and Jesus gave me GOOSEBUMPS. Bless you lord; thank you for saving us all.
Thats wonderful. My boyfriend was raised athiest, but hes open to God. Im hoping one day he will understand the Truth.
This was the very best of all the documentaries I have watched on these polygamous cults. I recognized as a Christian that The FLDS, The Order, The AUB, and other off-shoots were not of God, but I was so confused as to the mainstream Mormon Church. I am able to understand the history of Joseph Smith and The Church of Latter Day Saints so much better because of this documentary. These precious precious people touched my heart and reminded me why I choose God. Thank you, each of you, for sharing your stories. I am sure God will continue to bless you and make his face shine upon you.
I am not religious or Christian but I’m so happy these people have found a place to belong and their peace.
