  • Incest cults exist, and Amanda was RAISED in one. She told me all her crazy experiences about marriage and relationships between family members, all by GOD’S CALLING. Traumas and recovery came afterwards, but there will always be a part of her life that she lost. #cultsurvivor #incestcult #cults
    You will have seen Amanda on my friend Shelise Ann Sola's channel ‪@CultstoConsciousness‬ - check it out - where they have done many series about polygamy cults and Mormons, and escaping 'the order' incestuous polygamy cult (including a recent episode with Shanell Snow Derieux). She features unaired details about first cousins at 18 years old.

She is so wonderful, and she's open and honest about the horrors happening in her previous cult, The Order/the Kingston Clan. Andrew, you're one of my two favorite interviewers on CZcams and I absolutely cannot wait to hear what questions you have for the brilliant Amanda!

There are several episodes where producers break the "4th wall" to protect and console those they are trying to help escape. I think the whole reason for the show; besides the cult porn which is a whole other matter; but I do think it was to raise awareness that groups like this are in operation right here in the United States and this continues to be a growing problem and concern when they claim "religious freedom/doctrine".

So I married an Irish Catholic and had a beautiful son. But my point is that, this isn’t a polygamy problem, it’s a fanatical religious problem. All fanatics inbreed

    This was an amazing chat. At one point you were talking about couples who wait too long having kids and the movie Idiocracy came to mind. It's like it was a documentary about the future at this stage. I'm a woman of 48 who decided not to have kids. It just wasn't for me. Having kids in a world like this? Where we're at the mercy of corporations and corrupt politicians. Religion is allowed to run rampant in some countries harming untold millions of people. Wars perpetuated on people incapable of defending themselves. I just couldn't justify bringing a child in to a world that's going to be worse for them, than it was for me. And it already isn't as good a life as my parents had. Capitalism and religion are the destroyers of worlds.

    I was a huge fan of Escaping Polygamy - Amanda and the other women are so amazing. They are so strong and it does break my heart a little to know that they were participating in that show while still reeling from their traumatic past and escape. If anyone hasn't seen Escaping Polygamy - please look for it because you see how incredible and selfless these women (I would have called them young girls in the show) are. They education and support they provide to each other, while still dealing with their own struggles - it just shows you the strength and depth of their character. It should be available to stream for free under some platforms. This group (The Order) is just, there are no words for what they do to their members, especially the women and children. I'm sorry to hear that her mum went back to the group. I hope one day she is able to free herself to get a chance at a life without the invisible chains attached.

      How in the world did a few malignant narcissists set up something like this where they make the rules to satisfy their own desires. And where are the women that enabled them? Maybe that’s why they don’t rebel, it’s not in their DNA to think for themselves. What a racket? This is not love - It’s slavery.
      Same goes for Mormons how do they justify following a crazy conman who made up the Book of Mormon and it’s more important to them than the Bible. They use guilt, manipulation, and abuse and most of all - God and His Word for their own wants and desires. Even Mormons give false promises about being giving gifts from God that are magic. All the people and women especially can’t trust their own mind without going to the bishops and elders for their guidance. They don’t know as much as you do about yourself, but they are told they can’t make the right choices on their own.
      This is sad. I’m a Christian and I wish these people knew a loving God and not a selfish, jealous one that is used to control them. His Grace is free if you believe in Jesus Christ. It’s as if you are being charged $1000/day for air you breath.

    I just want to say that my husband and I only got married after 43 years when he was dying and only had a month to live and it made a big difference, more than I ever thought possibly but that could be because I now feel, having his surname, I have and am a part of him. I had my children at 19 and 24 but didn’t want to get married bc I witnessed my parents marriage which was a disaster. My son has been with his partner for 25 years and is unmarried. He never wanted children and I supported his decision and when his partner got pregnant unexpectedly he wasn’t happy but is now a besotted dad. Everyone is different and imo I think it’s up to the individual to do what they feel is best and if that’s getting married young or old or having/not having children it’s their choice.
    This was an amazing interview. Thank you both ❤

    A little off topic but talking about having kids - I didn’t get married until I was 33. Got pregnant at 34. Still terrified of becoming a mom at that age. Haha. But anyway tried a few years later tried to have another child and I was too old. No one tells you this. I mean your fertility drops from age 25 (women) and at 35 it dives off a cliff. At 40 I adopted our daughter. Now if you don’t wanna have kids don’t have kids. But I was someone who never knew if I wanted kids. And it was the best thing I ever did. For me it was everything. The most important thing I ever did. Not my career (teaching). Best years of my life. But it’s not for everyone. I don’t know how old your fiancé is but if she’s your age she doesn’t have much time. ❤️ my son is now 23 living in Texas and working in aeronautics. My daughter is 18 and beginning her hair stylist career. They are everything to me.

These towns are associated with polygamous sects and /or small, isolated LDS communities. In the mid 60s, when she and her sisters were in high school, her parents transferred back east in to make sure the girls did not marry into one of the families that (forgive me, this is a direct quote from her mom) "had to hide a 12 toed kid in the closet" due to inbreeding.

    Utah has laws about incest but they don't enforce them. I wouldn't be surprised to see the enforcement of the laws change in the future given the child abuse that is becoming public and the Child Protective Services not doing anything. In the state of Utah, the punishment for incest (which is defined as a third-degree felony offense), specifies a term of 5 years maximum in prison and/or a maximum fine of $5,000. Other penalties may also be enforced if convicted of incest. In Utah incest is classified as a criminal offense and defined under the code as any sexual relationship between immediate family members and first cousins. The code also enumerates artificial insemination between immediate family members and first cousins as a chargeable offense under the same section.

    This the reason why I am so happy with the invention of CZcams AND the comment area under the videos ... Right now, I'm watching Cults To Consciousness as well Ithe brother and the sister that talk about their experiences withing the Order. Twelve years ago, I had no clue that this happened on a regular base, but I felt that something major was shifting in the World and started to create a frame that would give us the opportunity to see things in their authentic form. That became the framework of ka-ba-la as I've got downloaded when I was on the edge of dying (and take that literally).
    ka = female & spiritual, the Teacher, Source
    ba = male & material, the Master, God
    la = body & nobody, the Pupil, Ego
    Thatś a theoretical frame that offers enough elements to see what is missing in your initial theory and I have enough knowledge about the big waves to tell that Source is making her reappearance (after thousands of years ba-dictatorship. It's obvious that I had to see the bigger picture and had to be able to 'hear' the echoes of the past => Source is making her rere-entry with repeating processes we know from the past and we have to learn to see the same in a different form.
    Narcissism is another important subject. There is primal and secondary narcissism because the behaviour only makes sense in the ba (and not in the ka). You always have to ask who is really benefitting and that often has a hierarchical structure (so it takes time to climb the stairs). The social structure becomes much more complicated, but the primal narcissist will use the circumstances for his own benefit and even the phrase Divide And Conquer is based on the narcissistic principle.
    Source can be the organism, if you want - we're all autonomous cells of the oldest organism on earth and that organism has become immortal and rejuvenating because of the system of birth and death. We will NEVER be immortal as an individual and when we die, we're letting go everything that connected us to that one body and one life we were conscious about. Ther is NO afterlife, but during the process of letting go, the idea helps us to accept the necessity of ending something that isn't functional anymore and that's why I got those important downloads when I faced my own death. The only thing I could ask for was delaying the final pass over (none of my ideas get lost, I have shared them during my deep sleep, I only wanted to bring everything in order so the wrong people would not have a free gift) and now, my time is completely used up.
    This was a once, but never again coincidence that could give us a new perspective and the group of people that understands this grows at the day, but it didn't come easy. The only thing that keeps me going on is knowing that everything happens for a reason, but nothing happens twice for the same reason. Knowledge is only real when shared and those people who reject every form of real knowledge are digging their own grave. God, Source, and ego are equal forces that create a necessary process to grow out of your rehearsed misconceptions, but it takes more that one generation to see what exactly is changing in your favor and the ba-narcissists know how easy it is to punish the dropouts. I feel the current acceleration and know for sure that I am the ONE Expected (Out of many, only one), although I am not the Chosen One. Both Source and God use me as their channel and I (as a normal individual) can spread it because of my telepathic ability to CONNECT during my deep sleep. You can't stop what you've set in motion already, but this is not the worst of what has happened to us and we've survived worse situations that happened to us (and not because of us). Most of the work had to be my individual contribution to the whole, but I'm a collector of projects that can take over my job. We're social creatures, but there are rotten specimen that infect the whole harvest and that is slowing down the process.
    In other words, don't listen to the preachers and follow your own intuition. Help if you are able to help and keep low profile when the circumstances are not favorable. I had no experience with the items I had to work out myself and had no time to follow the usual path, but I am quite impressed with my learning abilities - we all can learn tomorrow what we can't do or understand today and that's the reason why we should respect the work of others and work on our inate jealousy and envy.

      The official Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (often referred to as Mormons) does not practice polygamy. In fact if you did practice polygamy, you would be excommunicated. These people she is referring to are a break off. When the official church stopped practicing polygamy, some people still wanted to continue the practice. The “Fundamentalist” Mormon church (various independent groups), think the official church shouldn’t have stopped doing it so started their own religions.

    I had kids when I was 20yo and 22yo. Those kids are now 23y and 21y and I could not imagine them having children at this age. It shocks me that my husband and I 1) kept them alive & 2) were able to raise amazing, kind, and downright brilliant children. My oldest has never wanted children their entire life and my youngest does not like children and never plans to have them either, and I’m super cool with that. A little over a month ago, we officially became empty nesters (we had only lived together 10 days before our first was born). It’s so quiet & peaceful, we are really enjoying it.

    I’ve also found that some people pressure women to have children because it seems that there are more and more fertility problems these days. It kind of seems that infertility and narcissism are contagious now. My parents were 19 and 21 when I was born, and we ALL suffered for 20 years until they got divorced. Lol, but not really. I’m unmarried and have no children because of the trauma.

    A woman is not meant to have 20 children. In the tv show 19 kids and counting, Jim Bob's wife had to deliver early because the pregnancy was causing her health problems and her last child was stillborn. That's a sign from God and Mother Nature, her body can't handle more pregnancies. Bob Jim should not be so selfish; 19 children is too many.

      My parents were not in a cult, but were ultra religious and we children could not wear shorts, go to movies, drink coke from a can (? Probably because someone might think it’s beer.) Never learned to swim because we couldn’t wear swimsuits. Because I was a teenager during the 50s, I wanted to do what my friends were doing…dancing and sock hops and movies, so I was called worldly, which I associated as sinful. I’m In my 80s now and it took many years for me to feel I was a good person and not sinful.

      When brought to court, they claim religious persecution. The authorities/states have no idea how to handle polygamy even when it's illegal, because when they take the parents away, the social systems get completely inundated with their dozens of kids. It's awful.

      My friend helped sponsor a bill to put expolygamists on the victims fund.. like a person trafficked, or abuse of any kind. And our now lieutenant governor passed a bill to decriminalize polygamy from a felony, to a misdemeanor. Changing the State Constitution, and only qualifications to be allowed Statehood. Utah could not join the union until the 'formally renouncing' the polygamy practice. Utah has allowed this problem to exist, by not protecting citizens and not prosecuting it. State abuse, not just child abuse.

      People in these cults are not ex-Mormons, unless they once belonged to the official Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Any off-shoots, such as this cult and the FLDS, are not members of the official LDS Church, and they would never be permitted to remain a member if they were living this kind of life.

I’ve never found a church that I thought followed Gods teaching. I went from ultra conservative to ultra liberal. They were both twisting Gods words to control the parish. So I read the Bible and hang with fellow true believers. Jesus has never forsaken me. But churches have.

    There was a case (I think it was Germany) years ago where two siblings were placed in separate foster homes. They reconnected years later and fell in love and had a lot of kids. They kept having kids. I can't remember if the kids had birth deflects and that's how the government found out, but the government arrested them and said stop having kids together. They refused again and again. There 's a theory that in cases like that, you're attracted to the other person because you see yourself in them because you look similar. I remember reading about it and being totally baffled.
