• Reacting to How I Escaped My Cult: The FLDS is Bigger Than They Say

  In this video, we react to How I Left My Cult and its episode on the FLDS and Yearning for Zion Ranch. The documentary does a great job covering Warren Jeffs’ rise to power and the experiences of his 8th wife and her son, but one thing stood out to us—how it makes it seem like the FLDS is down to just a “handful” of people. The truth is, the FLDS is still thousands strong. Join us as we break down what the show got right, what it missed, and what’s really happening with the FLDS today. #FLDS #WarrenJeffs #HowILeftMyCult #ExMormon #cultsurvivor Chapters: 00:00:00 FLDS History and Warren Jeffs' Impact 00:02:45 Exploring Different Perspectives: Vicky and Wendell's Stories 00:05:30 Polygamy Beliefs in FLDS vs. LDS 00:08:20 Warren Jeffs' Capture and the Impact on FLDS Members 00:11:27 Leaving the Church: Family and Emotional Impact 00:14:50 The Impact of CPS Raids on FLDS Families 00:17:51 Ranch Raid Revelations 00:20:39 Leaving the Ranch: Vicki and Wendell's Journey 00:23:45 The Enduring Influence of Warren Jeffs Get your tickets to the Holding Out Help Gala HERE: https://event.auctria.com/3081aa38-737b-436c-9dfb-6c934233a243/ Join our NEW Patreon HERE: https://patreon.com/growingupinpolygamy If you or someone you love has left polygamy and needs assistance, please reach out to "Holding Out HELP" at 801-548-3492 or visit their website at www.holdingouthelp.org At Growing Up In Polygamy our mission is to "Create compassion for communities that have been misunderstood, marginalized and/or abused by their leaders, and to empower those who have left by giving them a platform to share their stories with the world."
