Netflix has done it again, documentaries is something Netflix never misses on
Big facts!
these are the most amateurish made docs ever. anyone with a youtube account can make them. you should check out actual compelling doc like Flee and Collective
@@moviefan700 cool
Facts
@@moviefan700 how about u make one and show us how it is made? you already have an youtube account now so lmao
I weirdly love stories like this. Don't get me wrong I feel HORRIBLE for the woman and children. But it's definitely fascinating. We can only hope cults like this will stop being a thing.
Me too. I grew up in something similar and I wish to understand it. I'm extremely fascinated by the web of lies and the way the folks respond psychologically to this kind of brainwashing and cultism. It's also interesting to learn about other ways of living.
if you're horrified I can't understand your response being " I weirdly love stories like this". Think of the worst thing that has occurred in your life....do you ever for a moment think "I weirdly loved it". Sorry responses like these just seem bizarre to me.
Hahaha being part of a group extreme or not will always be a thing buddy
Lol we watch this and forget that there are billions of Christians and Muslims in the world. Among other religions.
Those are cults that just became main stream.
They all have a central human leader among all of them 😂
Yet christianity, islam, mormonism etc. continue
Not sure cults are going to stop anytime soon
Netflix is seriously killin it with its documentaries. No platform even close to this kind of content when it comes to docus.
Great job!
I don’t get these kinds of comments. It’s as if Netflix has paid for them.
Discovery+ has some greats documentaries as well
@@EDFilmsUK I feel the same as the original poster, especially about hard hitting ones handling sex abuse, religion, and children. The Saville documentary was amazingly done. And this looks to be a similar caliber. You can think a company makes the best documentaries without being bought and paid for
@@EDFilmsUK for sure, check out their other comments. Netflix is trying everything to fix their image lol
I’d channel is good too
*JUST FINISHED WATCHING THIS DOCU* ;
To anyone that's curious - I highly recommend!!! I wish it was longer. It was fascinating. What an honor to witness the brave souls of these women that fought for their freedom. Bless their hearts. As someone that's known of the FLDS for years and years now, this docu was amazing and very informative (I got to learn new things I had no idea of prior). I can only imagine just how enriching this would be to watch if you're someone that had no idea of the FLDS. The ending of the docu was very emotional imo. I hope all the Ladies are well and have found their happiness.
As a cult survivor, I read and watch as much about cults as I can, so I'm going to watch this! I read "The Witness Wore Red" which is a true story about a woman (Rebecca Musser) who escapes from the FLDS and Warren Jeffs. She eventually helps bring him down which is so satisfying. I highly recommend this if you want to know more.
I read that. Good book
@@oglatnik AFAIK, Teal Swan is also a cult leader.
@@stevelarrivee3512 no, she’s not.
@@oglatnik yes she is
@@adshar20000 and why do you believe that?
I’ve been following her content for a while and as far as I know she has a very strong opinion about cults, having gone through one herself. I have never felt in any way forced to believe something while watching her, forced to worship her in any way (I don’t really as a matter of fact). In fact she herself says many times that we should question everything she says and find our own truth and answers and stop following her if we don’t find her teaching useful (which a cult leader would never say, and I’ve also unfollowed her for a while in the past because she was annoying me) Her methods have helped me immensely with my mental health, I met so many amazing people through her community.
So, why exactly is that a cult?
I do know that she has been portrayed like this (as a cult leader) in the media a few times, but if you just check out a little bit of what she is talking about, you’ll see that’s total bs, because she doesn’t meet any criteria for a cult (well maybe except the fact that she has a big following, but so does JK Rowling, Dalai Lama and The Catholic Church).
But it’s best if you see for yourself anyway ..
I found out about this group through the tv show Escaping Polygamy and just wow! I couldn’t believe that something like that existed and now they’re making a documentary about one of the biggest groups out there I will definitely be watching
If you loved that show, read Carolyn Jessop's book, Escape. It's my favourite biography from the ones I've read of FLDS. Seriously, some parts are just really funny, some are shocking. I wish they made it into a movie.
I was so hoping they'd continue that TV show! There needs to be so much more exposure to the underground use and abuse of women in "Christian" cults. I grew up in a Christian cult, NOT FLDS but similar and there's just SO much that's hidden behind the men, the leaders, the squeaky clean exterior.
Same. Utah is an interesting state. That show is eye opening. I was wondering when Netflix was going to do a documentary on this.
Same. I wish Netflix would pick up the show. I miss it
That show is extremely dramaticised btw, coming from someone who knows people in the show.
Sometimes I wish Netflix had a chat. I find myself wanting to say so many comments about this series. Man this guy was more evil than I even thought just hearing about him before. Sick monster. What a fake prophet. I too was stuck in a cult from ages 11 to 28. I can attest to the fact that it is so difficult to leave these cults. Because you get brainwashed with threats. But the main threat is you'll never see your family ever again. That one took me a decade to get past it in order to finally gain strength to leave. Literally it breaks you in half leaving them behind. Luckily my mom and rest of my sisters followed my lead but I lost my two older brothers bc they were married in the cult and grew to be loyal to their wives. I never talked with them since age 28 and I'm 56 now. Plus you are wracked with complex PTSD which you have to discover it is even a thing. Took more than a decade to admit my cult experience was worse than I imagined.
I wasn't in a cult but I dated a psychopath. I highly recommend you check out the book "psychopath free" by Jackson Mackenzie. It helped me a lot with my cptsd.
Also, most cult leaders, like this dude, have a personality disorder (cluster b).
I'd say this guy does.
Another book I reccomend is "the sociopath next door" by Martha Stout.
@@specialtwice4975 thanks for the book titles... I'll look into it.
God I am glad they don’t. The ignorance on youtube alone is devastating 🤢🤮
That eerie song in children's voices about going to Zion with Father there... Oh man! That really gave me chills. I've read/seen quite a bit about that group and chronology of events but still learned new things in the docuseries. There's so many components - psychological, financial, religious, legal... really troubling.
It's Warren's wives singing and Rachel Jeff's mom wrote that song.
song literally triggers my ptsd😅
yes i find there cult to be mega creepy
YEP👍 Like the chilling chant: Lizzie Borden had an axe.
Gave her Mother 40 whacks.
When she saw what she had done.
Gave her father 41😱😨
Wow!!! I thought it was a fake FLDS song that was composed just for this documentary.
I tried to google that song but found nothing about it.
It's interesting that the producers of the show managed to get their hands on an actual recording of it, sung by the cult members.
It sounded so serene and sweet, but yet the words are so chilling and horrifying.
It is sad sick but so eye opening to see how one person and a way of life can affect so many lives in a negative way.
He was doing Gods work. People are just so indoctrinated these days that they can't comprehend it.
Only in america stuff like this can still happen, full of gullible idiots
@@princelips3980 He was actually doing Satan's work. God does not give a man the right to marry dozens of women at a time, rape underage girls, and force them to become "breeders."
@@princelips3980 He? This is so sexist. It's not only men who create cults to serve their sexual perversions.
@@sitdownstandup91
Never said it was. I'm talking about this specific situation so of course I'd refer to him.
Also, there is nothing sick about this. Like I said, this only seems sick because people have been indoctrinated and have strayed further from Gods path.
These Netflix documentaries are hard to stomach but it's eye opening and very well made. Recently I just discovered the Dozier case. I hope Netflix brings coverage on this as well because the victims' story deserve to be heard, and hopefully bring some justice into their lives.
What is that case about?
I didn’t realize I was raised in a cult as well until I watched this series. That’s so scary. A lot of the teachings were similar. Like the end of the world, the mystical power, and yes loyalty. They feed your fear. Thankfully we moved and went to a different church. Listened to k-love a lot and started to do my own research with the Bible. I think I learned more in the last 10 years than my parents whole journey. I still love the Bible and it’s teaching and learning everyday, but sometimes church people will blind you to the truth, so I am taking a step back at the moment.
I'm glad you and your family got out of there and hope you're okay!
idk why but i want to know what church you don't have to tell me lol
@@payyourrentbabes Me too, b/c I am wondering if it's mine!
What did you think of Exodus 21?
Why do you still go to Church?? Go to school instead.
I just recently read his daughter Rachel Jeffs’ book and it was astonishing to hear this story from her point of view and the trauma of her childhood and young adulthood. This will be so interesting to see the footage after reading all about it.
What's the name of the book
@@aishwaryalondhe6387 The Witness Wore Red
@@jenzen9041 You got the wrong book. The Witness Wrote Red was written by Rebecca Musser. She's an FLDS survivor, but not Warren Jeff's daughter Rachel.
@@aishwaryalondhe6387 it’s called: Breaking Free - How I Escaped Polygamy, the FLDS Cult, and my father Warren Jeffs
FLDS should be rolled out on a national level
The trauma and the twisted realities the kids must have had to go through is unbelievable.
What angers me more about this is that....the women is how women are treated like cattle in this....but it's OK for a prophet to abuse his power and belief
@@diegomelendez9918 Matthews 7:15, "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves".
@@zomerzim7117 most definitely
I can’t believe this was even a thing. Documentary’s like this are so scary but so interesting 🙃
Was and still is, just so hidden and hard to find. Many of them still have ranches in the middle of nowhere in Utah, PA and other rural areas. It's awful!
*is
Open your eye 👁 it’s been there the whole time we our the one we been looking for the whole entire time. They also is switching it up telling you it’s polygamy when it’s really monogamy they have reversed everything.
Where were all the men? Did those idiots not able to tell this dude just wanted to have sex with all these women and kids and it wasnt about God? You cant get more dumber than the men who were part of that church but probably they were in on it as well but having so many females to each guy doesnt make sense.
It still is a thing !!! It didn't go away .
I thank my lucky stars everyday that I am not an oppressed woman, living in a cult, or existing in a foreign country where misogynistic beliefs are deeply ingrained.
But you are. You’re just not aware of it.
@@cancerousamphibian625 oh shut up you must be 10 or smth
So you aren't American?
Same. That's why no person on this earth will ever convince me of marriage.
Which country are you from? Because misogynistic beliefs are deeply ingrained in pretty much all societies
What an incredible story. Thank you to the women who got out, made noise, and got heard. 🙌🏽 you are an inspiration and my heart goes out to all of you.💕
People are sick . I’m glad ppl are bringing these situations in the church to light. Mind blowing what people do in the church and behind closed doors
One thing that isn't said too much in documentaries like this, that WAS said in this particular docu-series, is that these cults are also massive sex trafficking rings. Like we all tend to call them religious cults (I mean that's exactly what they are), but this documentary showed me just how much the women and young girls are completely taken advantage of and treated like property and are just disregarded. They're physically, emotionally, and sexually abused all for the satisfaction of these disgusting men. I feel so horrible for them all.
Having never been exposed to such a life, its so easy to wonder how in the world would anyone believe this is right, especially the women? I applaud the women (and men), who are brave enough to see the light, leave and call out for help!
Women knew their place
I grew up there until I 15, then I ran away.
this documentary is pretty accurate.
Hoping you are doing fine after this ❤️ much respect
Dude you just have to right a book about that, add some hype and publish it. You gonna make a fortune. I mean why not to capitalize on all that stuff considering that you wasted years of your life there anyways.
Good for you for leaving at such a young age. It's sad that people were so brainwashed, they thought this life was normal.
Sending love and light to you . I hope your doing well and keeping safe . Stay strong ...🙏💗
I've read several biographies of people who got out. So excited for this one! I already recognised one woman whose book I've read!
yes same! I am looking forward to this. The women who found the courage to leave and tell their stories are incredible.
What was the book called?
I remember when this story came out in real time! It was everywhere! Everyone was talking about this and yes the show and the interviews the girls who got out did…my God…extremely chilling! They were so wide eyed and stiff but very very sad. And as a kid I innocently just thought it was merely a church!smh He had his very own HANDMAIDS TALE secretly on this soil! Smh What?! Smh Imagine if he never got outed how many more lives he would’ve brainwashed and ruined!?! How many more babies being born?! 😔😳smh Yeah this story is def worth tuning into because for me it shows me how to spot ppl like that so that I never get got like this as a woman! I mean the guy had allll those people just gone mentally! And wrapped around his finger! Smh
Hehe and you doing the same thing with this very comment as u are accusing him of doing for your religion powered by the devil which is way worse than what that devil did that u talk about and project everything on him.
Just finished watching the series yesterday & I can’t begin to tell you how mortified I am from what this man did to these young women & men. The saddest part is that these innocent lives were taught that the horrible acts happening to them was indeed okay because of a controlling evil man said it’s was God’s will.
God NEVER wants this. Yet bad people like him use his name wrongly to get what they want 💯
I pray all of those poor children who suffered from this madness find peace, happiness, most of all safety in their lives 🙏🏼♥️♥️
There is no god. You've merely bought into another cult, albeit a widely accepted one. The bible is one of the most evil books ever written
I hope this doc covers what happens to the boys as well. In polygamist culture, it only works if there are more females than males. Thus a lot of boys are kicked out and banished for the most minor of infractions. When in reality they are perceived as threats to the central male figure.
They're called the Lost Boys. There's is a documentary about them, a few years back, maybe it was on OWN. It's called Sons of Perdition.
Polygamy worked in societies where men were regularly going off to war and being killed, which ensured there were always more women than men. Polygamy isn't sustainable in a peaceful society. You will *always* end up with 'surplus' men, which is exactly what happened with the FLDS. The only way the men in power could keep what they had going was to get rid of the men they saw as competition/threats, which were (no surprise) the young men in the community.
A lot of them turned to drugs and alcoholism at first, some committed suicide, but in the end, a lot of us turned out alright.
@@hoppytoad79 basically they removed all the young, handsome guys that the girls would actually be attracted to and groomed the girls for their own pleasure all in the name of "God". Smh. These men r disgusting.
@@hoppytoad79 polygamies didn’t work. The women were brainwashed to be inferior to men. That is how these systems persisted for eons. Women are shamed for being raped till this day… while a man is at fault.
0:57 pray and obey on the chimney of one of Jeff’s houses… I once went to that house as a teenager long after he had been arrested and no one lived there. It was a huge house and I remember it being a almost somber experience going inside, having someone tell you a small fraction of what this man did. Creepy, enraging and heartbreaking. One thing that I remember vividly was a secret room the size of a small bedroom I think. That at one point held records from the FLDS church as to who Jeff’s was married to. He was legally married to one wife and every other woman after was through the church and truly harrowing experience. And something I don’t expect to forget. Pray and Obey a sentence that will forever make me sick.
Is that house still there? I would think they'd tear it down?
@@brendaechols5929 Well it was bought some people who turn it into a sober living house/ a place of recovery for those abused by the FLDS “church” they do a lot for the community and actually have GED programs for those who where not educated growing up in the FLDS to hopefully get better jobs and go on to do great things. If you want to look it up it’s called Short Creek Dream Center.
@@coopercreationz that is awesome. So glad to hear it was turned into something much more positive for the community.
I have an amazing story. One day I was driving home and I felt the presence of the Lord, come down to me from above. It was as real as anything and I felt so comfortable with Him.
I knew if I asked Him to play a song on the radio, He would.
So I said "Ok Lord, play Come as you are..."
I didn't know what station it was on or anything, but I turned the radio on and the song started playing right on the spot, perfectly...
I started getting flooded with chills inside, trembling, and crying tears of joy. When I got home, He stayed with me for 10 minutes till I got out of the car.
I've been getting amazing prayers answered for around 5 years since, because that experience made me stop doubting when I pray, and I follow Biblical instructions, best I can.
I used to love the show on A&E about the women helping each other leave in the night (or was it TLC? I feel it was A&E... more serious). I'm so stoked to see more about this story... Warren Jeffs is disgusting and more people need to understand that so many of those women and children were and still are trapped by his brainwashing.
One of the girls, Amanda has a CZcams channel where she continues spreading the order about The Order and other cults. Letting others speak up and tell their stories!!
Yes I saw that too and thought of it
Such a good show, I was always on edge though
It was lifetime, "Escaping polygamy".
Why isn’t he arrested
I read that in this cult they had something called a “joy book” which was a book with photos of all of the young girls that were marriageable for the elders. And not only that, but many times they would throw teenage boys out of the cult so they would have more underage girls for themselves.
That is so sick 🤢 those poor girls!
Yea, some would leave because they fell out of favor, many were excommunicated because of minor infractions like watching movies or listening to modern music, I didn't realize until years later that the true prose was to regulate female to male ratios.
Yep. They were called The Lost Boys.
And the mothers did nothing. They remind me of the brainwashed people on the right.
Just gross. The entire "polygamy" thing is honestly just for their own sick and twisted fantasies. They groomed the girls into their own "perfect women"
I was reading about "subcultures" in my online textbook for my sociology class and searched up this cult that was talked about: FLDS; it's so interesting how it happens to be the same day that Netflix uploads this trailer about them
I have an awfull feeling in my stomach from watching this documentairy. I wish I could help these children and women. I feel so powerless that I cannot do anything against the evil in this world.
You’re not alone in feeling that way janny
Eff them, they're false prophets. God will judge them, don't worry :)
Netflix's documentaries are the only reason I keep up my subscription because they're outstanding.
I grew up non-religious in an extremely small, predominately LDS town. Also went to school with several FLDS kids. That shit is wild, the way they think and behave is insane, and growing up around these people as a non-religious person was an experience.
I watched the doc and the girls said they didn't know anything about the outside world - like they could get help from women's shelter, CPS, or even who the president of the US was. They did not even know that child marriage is illegal. I thought they got educated within the community.
"I, as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, want to clarify that Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, also known as FLDS is a different sect and is not affiliated in any way to us.
Whatever crime done by this religion that's documented in this series by Netflix isn't us. We are completely different. We have no connection. Please do not be confused. Thank you."
@@michellebayatan3673 ...the only real difference is the polygamy. It's still an oppressive cult.
@@michellebayatan3673 lmao yea right
When it comes to Documentaries, Netflix provides the best of them.
I just finished watching this. Even hearing the name Warrens Jeff gives me incredible chills. How sickening this entire culture is..
I'm on the same boat, I can't even look at his face anymore! Those eyes are sickening!
@@bertam.7726 Definitely. I thought that all of this had happened before I was alive back in the 1980s. I genuinely can't believe after all he's done, he was arrested when I was alive in the time of Oprah and Britney Spears. Disgusting man.
The part with the audio recordings... That was very hard to listen
@@EmanuelMenta Oh my god. I was beyond sick listening to that. The only reassurance from that entire segment was that this man was put behind bars permanently after that..
A series that gets better and better as u keep watching. Ive never had my stomach turn like it did on the final episode.
I am on episode 2....behind closed doors, beyond the shadows, there lies more darkness...it is truly tragic to see the conditioning of the mind in this documentary....my heart does goes out to that community...
I'm actually learning about the fundamentalists of the Latter day saints through the show Under The Banner Of Heaven!! Such a great show with Andrew Garfield, and this Documentary seems like it would be great to watch alongside Under The Banner Of Heaven.
You should read the book "Under The Banner of Heaven" by Jon Krakauer also. It's a bit disjointed the way it jumps back and forth between the story of the murders and the history of the Mormon church but it is very informative. If you like that book then I would recommend Krakauer's book "Into Thin Air". That book is about the climb that is portrayed in the film "Everest". Krakauer was on the team that lost several members during their summit push.
@@innagottadavida8538 The show is the same way with the jumping back & forth, it's honestly not that good but all the LDS vs. FLDS stuff is fascinating enough to keep me watching
What streaming service is under the banner of heaven on?
@@kalyn7220 Hulu. And the show is great. Andrew Garfield is fantastic
@@EM-hr3sg thanks! I have Hulu so I'm on it.
I'm dreading the thought of watching the documentary but I am drawn to the fact that I need to know what transpired there. Kudos, Netflix for presenting another thought provoking documentary.
*Spoiler Alert*
Is there absolutely nothing we can do ? Since finishing this I can't stop thinking of the underage girls still in this awful cult being raped and impregnated :(
Surely after this documentary CPS can get involved again and save these children ? My heart hurts for these poor women.
They just visit him in jail and they take notes to bring back and order the people to do his orders.
The recording of him right before he raped a 12 year old is gut wrenching
That’s what I think ,we have to do something
From flds mormon lifestyle my channel
like they said, it's hard to prove anything when kids are brainwashed and won't come forward. They got lucky with Warren but the next leader will be even more cautious. You saw those women who lied for him, i know they don't know any better but it's still infuriating.
Unfortunately as long as religion, aka cults of any kind are allowed, this is what you end up with
sadly the goverment allows this to happend, therefor not much normal people can do. The only reason he was sent to jail in first place is becouse people had their voice heard. Media and sosial media going wild, everyone speaking about it. The goverment knows about these cults, and they dont give one shit. As long they do it quietly, no actions will be taken.
And the women? they are brainwashed to say they like the life style, and since they claim to like it, goverment just turn a blind eye and pretend they dont exist. Calling it: "their freedom to choose their own lifestyle", letting mentally sick people make their own life choice.
The kids? sadly somehow child protection no longer exist the moment it is about kids from cults...
US, the land of the free. Makes me sick.
I honestly had never been happier in my entire life being an atheist until I watched this...
🌸🌸❤️
Yup
The problem with religion is that it conditions and attracts sheep like personality types, as well as sociopaths who want to control and use those types. Once a true sociopath gets a position of power in a religious group, sooner or later it heads in this direction. Blind followers who do whatever "the prophet" says, and a sociopath revelling in the power he/she exerts over so many lives.
The problem is that these childmarriages happen all over the world. People grow up in a culture and think its normal so they follow it. You are also a sheep we all are.
Bingo
@@jannyx6363 speak for yourself
Finished up watching it today and I can say it was a spectacular job on the documentary. I heard about him, there was some video on CZcams but it didn't intrigue me. But Netflix surprised me with such a good time I loved this show, just a must watch
This breaks my heart.
I was in a cult and had similar experiences. It’s years and years of conditioning to break through.

@@vkooksbaby5669 you can't say that unless you're in that situation. We have people who are taught to go to church every Sunday, give tithes and believe in healing miracles. People can be convinced to do anything if it's taught early enough.
Yeah, women failed miserable by joining this cult.
That is what religion does to people: They are conditioned to turn off their brain, until they are so deeply in it that they have not enough power any more to change anything.
I saw a documentary about this years ago! I’m anxious to see this one! Netflix been on it some the pandemic first started! Idk what they did differently as far as staff and etc but their shows and movies have taken a turn for the BEST 😩👏🏽👏🏽
Just finished this. Had me so emotional and in tears by the end of it.
“How could you place a human over God”… exactly! He looks so scary also
Lmfaooo
the devil himself
It's easy when you consider God can be perceived as man-made. The bible was written by a man and ppl take it as gospel no matter how nonsensical and clearly patriarchal it is, so it's not at all surprising that cults like this pop up all over.

I grew up in the town next to this community (where they went shopping so I would see them often), and they always came into Walmart with their hairdos and dresses and we all just stared sadly, not in judgement. It is sad.
I judge and would happily harass them.
Its so scary to think this cult is still active
From flds mormon lifestyle my channel
I wish they’d pick up the show “Escaping Polygamy.” It was such a good show.
I agree cause it exposed a lot of these cults that I did not know about
I have to say something I'm feeling. Adults who follow these type of narcissist cult leaders are partly responsible for creating a monster. You can't have a cult get so out of hand or monstrous without followers. I was 11 when my mom got sucked into a cult. I finally had the strength to leave at age 28. I too have had to make it right within my soul and take more responsibility that I didn't leave after I graduated from highschool. Yes I was isolated and separated from the world. Yes I didn't have knowledge that there would have been help if I just left but ultimately I know I'm my heart it couldn't have gotten that horrible and entangled if only I left sooner. And told my mom how I was really feeling. She would have ratted me out to her psycho friend but at least I would feel better today if I only would have risen up and understood my own power sooner.
Give yourself credit. At least you did leave eventually. Many don't.
Wishing you peace
I did a study on the FLDS in my western religions class in college and it was insane. As an ex-mormon myself I was flabbergasted at the cults that came off from the main LDS church. Insanity.
I am exmo myself and I am not really shocked as the mainstream Mormon church itself is a cult. They just tell everyone not to talk about what happens in the temple tho.
Insanity indeed
So nasty. how so many people supported a pedophile 😠
Never underestimate the appeal of lots of sex - especially to piggish and greedy men. It is a factor that pops up again and again in cults. You have to wonder if there were any women left over to marry for the ordinary Joes, right?
I’m an ex Mormon too. I can still see the misogyny in the church, and my sister was molested by a married man in the church and our bishop told us not to go to the police. We did anyway.
Netflix Does It EVERYTIME! I Just Love ❤️ All The Docs On Netflix 💜🙏🏽. I Will Be Watching This 💯.
Finally about him!! Thank you Netflix!!
i'm a member of the church of Jesus Christ (LDS) and ive always been curious about them when i found out that they never stopped polygamy, thank you netflix!
p.s that dude is not a prophet, he's sick in the head
Do yourself a favor....think for yourself and leave that cult.
There are no prophets. They are all sick men pretending to speak for God. all religions are a lie
Fascinating, Eye opening and horrifying documentary. The documentaries coming from Netflix recently have been amazing.
Just finished watching this. This is like the most American thing ever. Not the polygamy. Not misogyny. But the Gun. Men! Ugh!
There is this person in the series, a convert who had 2 wives and thousand of children already was not given enough respect( as in more wives) he deserve in his cult community. So he pimped out one of his daughter to a 85 years old bastard for a new wife and lived happy ever after having lots of you know what. And was a happy man living the American dream. But then a horrible thing happened. His prophet had died and the son of the prophet started to marry his mothers. No that is not the horrible thing. The horrible thing was that the prophet pull all the guns out of his cult and that is when the hell broke down for the man. He started to have a crisis in his belief. As American as it can get.⛪🇺🇸
LOL!
I imagined norm macdonald saying this as I read it lol
lol I thought the exact thing. Like...that is the line for him? seriously, not the other f$cked up sh$t
Right?! Because women, even his own daughter, mean absolutely nothing. 🤮
Most americans arent polygamists though lol
Ooooooo I've been watching "Growing Up in Polygamy" YT channel and he was from FLDS. His stories are very interesting so I'm definitely gonna watch this!
Gosh I love when cults are being exposed !!
The whole world is a big cult. Other people look at us in the west and think we are part of a cult
Aka religion
Currently watching and this is an incredibly well put together documentary! Must watch! Ruby is my hero and it’s heartbreaking what happened between her and Joe.
Margaret Atwood once said that she never really made anything up when she was writing the Handmaid’s Tale and that it’s based on real life practices and events… this is rly good example of that🙃
I love documentaries. This one is no exception.
Hell yeah! I freaking love learning about cults, especially this one. Learned about it during Escaping Polygamy.
I would suggest you listen to a podcast called “ the last podcast on the left “ they have a series on Mormonism and go into warren jeff’s story. It is really good.
Omg YAYAAYAB I followed these stories for years! I’m so excited!
Love this 👍hope Netflix makes a series of such documentaries of worldwide cults and people around so we know about them more thorough this channel 💓
Now you have politicians & a political group openingly trying to create this! 🙄
Trust me I live for well made Netflix documentaries like these.
Same 😂
I've been following this story for a while, it will be interesting to see this one. The dude is nuts
I’ve had the chance to go to Colorado City a few times over the last year. I’m very happy to say that the town is on the up and up thanks in large part to the dream center there! I’m actually headed back to teach at a theater camp for local kids within the next two months. If you want to help this beautiful city, I urge you to look into what the Short Creek Dream Center has been doing there and to support them in any way you can!!!
I drove through in 2018 out of pure fascination and it was eerie. Got so many stares from people
Yup I’ve been waiting on this documentary for years!!! I found out about this a couple years ago and just kept reading about it
UNBELIEVABLE KIMMY SHMITT HAS BECOME A SERIOUS DOCUMENTARY SERIES AND IM HERE FOR IT
This documentary got me thinking that the women in the show, before they were rescued were dressed the same as the women in this documentary and probably were indoctrinated under similar principles! This is so scary.
Reasons why I’ve told every friend who has invited me to some sort of religious service -“…you know, I think I’m good for now.”
Good choice. It’s always the small things that make them sink their hooks into you.
Bramble bushes are blocking you from water on the other side, and instead of finding out how to cross, you are deciding to be comfortable walking away drinking fizzy pop your whole life.
All cults take Jesus' name to make a deviation. No other religion has this many counterfeits. It's not a coincidence.
Don’t let things like this speak for everything. That’s the only thing I dislike about documentaries like this- We associate EVERYTHING with this particular insanity…
@@tameracoates398 So true!
I actually don't like organized religion in general. If you find peace in your existence by following a certain religion, go for it but using that religion as a sword and shield to conquer is a no, no. I actually would like to be invited to some sort of religious gathering just to see if they can convert me, highly doubt it though since I'm already at peace in my existence without the use of religion.
Netflix documentaries are the main things that make me keep the subscription😭 I think they make the best documentaries
I was raised in the JW organization (really a cult) and even tho they didn’t practice polygamy, a lot of what I was taught growing up is pretty much exactly what the fdls was teaching. It’s insane how these organizations gain such control and manipulation over people. This documentary is very sad but incredibly interesting and informative.
How did you break away from the teachings? Did you live in isolated place too?
@@a.l8061 I was allowed to go to public school for a while, then I was homeschooled all throughout high school. I wasn’t allowed to have any non JW friends, but I still had friends outside the church that I just didn’t tell my parents about. I ended up leaving the church at 18. Didn’t talk to my family much for a few years but I’m in my 30s now and we’re on better terms these days.
From flds mormon lifestyle my channel
@@cherieeevee good for you. Must've been a tough experience to be cut out from your family like that.
For those who doesn’t know what JW is it’s “Jehovah Witnesses”
Please do one on Jehovah Witnesses...all these cults need to be exposed for what they truly are and not what they pretend to be to the public.
What? Jehovah Witnesses?
@@narutounidosoficial Yes, they're an extremist doomsday cult...I would know because I was a Jehovah Witness for 25 years since birth. Escaped the cult and wish more people would open their eyes to more cults around them. It's heartbreaking the trauma and suffering people go through because of high control groups like these
@@narutounidosoficial yes they are a cult. A doomsday cult at that. They may seem like nice people but the way they condition the minds of their followers and children is unbelievable. Glad I got out when I did.
@@prafonity Explain why please.
@@prafonity Yep, it’s extremely common for parents to disown children if they choose to leave this religion. I personally know someone this has happened to and it’s way more common than you would think. They are also not supposed to celebrate birthdays or most holidays. I’m sure there are exceptions and plenty of good ppl in this religion, but the overall culture created by the Jehovah’s Witnesses church is a very toxic one.
I remember when this all came out. They scattered all the families to different cities. I never seen so many polygamist in my life. I remember my husband and I would run into them all the time.
Once we were at Walmart shopping 🛍 and there was a group of them leaving out the store ahead of us. There where 3 men walking in the front while the women were walking behind them. I kinda think this is something the women suppose to do. The men are more superior than the men so the women walk behind them. You could tell it was purposely.
Another time i remember at walmart once i saw the women again and my attention was very fixed on the way they dress👗 and I couldn't help but to see how perfect their hair was pinned up. They very plain, minded their own business, and were very quiet. The little girl was so cute. She very well behaved, well dresses, holding her mom's hand. It was almost like they had never been to Walmart before.
I’m a man from the flds and you’re right the women are supposed to be guided by and even take direction from the men when he’s placed in charge. Women generally are told not to go out into the world without the presence of a man for protection unless there’s not a man available. The reason men are always in front is because the leaders don’t want the young men to gaze at the women from behind. We’re trained to sit in front of the women when seated in church and even when riding in vehicles it’s boys in front girls in back so we can’t stare at their body’s from behind. Or at least what you can make out of them under the dresses. They told us we were to be raised like calves in the stall which refers to the males being completely separate from females until you’re assigned in marriage.
I never went to a Walmart until we moved out of Colorado City
no it's not the reason men walk in front 😂 it's so men won't look at ladies and get "evil feelings "
@@strnglhld that’s cause we were told not to go to Walmart
Wonderful. A new horror movie to watch. I hope the release of content like this helps cult victims get the justice and closure they need and that the cults that still are in operation are brought down.
Unfortunately all of this has barely made a dent in the flds religion. Belief is the most powerful drug.
Well, it's shining a light right at the corruption - and not turning a blind eye.
But actually changing something? I hope so.
I suppose if there was more of an uproar about this - things might move faster.
But out of sight, out of mind.
Just finished this it’s so interesting and filmed very well and respectfully. I really recommend it.
Fascinating, eye opening and horrifying documentary. The stuff coming from Netflix recently has been very good.
im on part 4 and its disturbing as hell. Cant believe this church is operating.
Mind boggling how something like this could even go that far without being noticed and stopped.
Holy crap, I remember seeing this on the news back in the 90s. Definitely looking forward to seeing this
Will this also be showing on Netflix UK? I hope so, the documentaries are the only reason I have kept my subscription
great documentary. More quality content like this please!
I'm really glad Netflix did such a good job documenting the reality of these cults and how difficult it is to be in them. When I finally escaped a cult at age 28 I told people about my experience. Most just stared at me saying nothing. I'm so happy it's being exposed more these days.
Well considering that now you know how to cult and that managing a cult pays well I'd suggest you starting your own cult! You just cant miss on this business opportunity. Just make everyone sign the paperwork that they don't mind being treated like cattle and having no rights and you are good to go.
YESSS finally there is more light being shined on this! I remember that Tv show called Escaping Polygamy after it got canceled it was like no one talked about this stuff anymore.
Holy shit! I felt sick and rage 😫 but I couldn't stop watching
I just finished watching the series. It is very good, but I wish they give more updates on some of the people that were interviewed. Like what is Warren's brother up to? Was he able to get any of his children out? How about the man that got kicked out for saying he would stand up to even the prophet if they wanted any of his daughters before they were 18? How do they get to rebuild their life outside if everything was taken from them? What happened to all the boys that get kicked out at such young age? Etc
Completed watching it. God bless the brave women that fought for their freedom
i’m so invested with this kind of story just like the story of Jonestown and Heaven’s gate
Sickening and clearly predatory. I always find it interesting how people don’t see it when they’re in it.
They are probably brainwashed to the point where they don't realize what is happening.
Well actually it’s a very human tendency to not see it while in an organization that claims to guide you to salvation. They use twisted logic, manipulation and are very charismatic. anyone under the “right” emotional conditions could be a victim.
@@Noy_shiv facts… people who think they could never be manipulated into a cult are usually the ones who will be. Everyone is susceptible when it comes to emotional and psychological manipulation of cults
@@Lovelesslouvre Especially, if your whole existing even before you were born you and all your community were told that was the only *right* path. You can’t just rip apart someone whole way of life by just telling them that their leader was criminal sexual predator, they learned to live under the fear that if they leaved, they would be doomed from everything that they ever knew. Truly horrible manipulation just made for a cult of pedophiles, but you can understand why some of them just can’t see other way of living now, after all, it’s their religion and if they were fervently taught that they have to wait for the day of their salvation, they will wait as they always did.
@@pazd8151 yess I 100% agree with you! It’s easy to judge from the outside, not realizing how deep the manipulation goes; manipulation works best when isolated.
This is their whole life we’re talking about, indoctrination from birth, it’s all they know.
I still can't believe this kind of cult exist in 2022. The documentary is eye opening but it can put you into rage and sadness.
I have been wanting this for so long. I AM SO EXCITED. Slayy Netflix-
this thing happens in every country in every religion... I am from India, and I can asure you this...
This is true....there are always evil people willing to take advantage of any situation.
I was a kid when this story broke, and I cant wait to learn more
Just watched this doc and it is absolutely groundbreaking, the two gentlemen who opened the case open ( journalist Mike Eatkiss and private detective Sam Brower) remind me a lot of Rust Cohl from HBO series True Detective, the two even look like him
I was curious to what this documentary was about, and now I’m interested.
Similar case with “our father” people need to stop using their religion to do messes up things
But that's the whole reason for religion's existence. "Religion was invented when the first con man met the first fool."
@@swagner7767 oh shit good quote
@@swagner7767 🥱🥱 y’all say the most boring things
@Kamsi Onwuka If you find one sentence boring get checked for attention deficit disorder. You just don't wanna think about the things you're doing and the things you believe in so you find it necessary to insult people who may suggest that you question yourself and your surroundings like we do with ours
Without religion you have no objective basis for what is "messed up"
If you're interested in this ya'll should check out The Modesty Files podcast, they interview mostly women from various extreme churches about how they got in it, how they left, and how they're recovering.
Thanks for the recommendation
@@spencerfreebairn9346 No Problem!
