I think the relationship with her is really odd. She just parrots what he says most of the time. I just can’t work out what’s going on there, it seems like a bit of controlling and coercion but I’m surprised he didn’t start checking the energy of other women in the group by putting his fool in them, just to be sure. He seems the type.

Maybe I’m way off the mark here, but I felt like she was his beard.

Interesting! it could be…there’s something that doesn’t add up there, and it’s not just the bog standard nutty cult leader/Coercion stuff.

That might explain why they went down the IVF route when they said it wasn't for fertility reasons. I didn’t understand their explanations tbh. He didn’t give me gay vibes though.
Also do you think she was actually pregnant the first time because again I didn’t understand their reason for terminating the pregnancy?
The way he spoke to the women if they spoke over him or interrupted. 😮
Scary man. Complete nutter.

i have extended family who are jw through marriage but they're pretty far removed from it through their son being switched on, but his grandparents are still a bit more attached. the nan died recently and the funeral was at a crematorium but a lot of their kingdom hall attended and a lot of the service was religious text, prayer and references.

really interested in the mormon / lds church too - only found out after moving to uni that there's a temple down the road (west yorks) where i've seen them leaving on a sunday morning all dressed up. there's quite a few american mormon famillies on youtube it seems but i like the jordan and mckay videos breaking it all down. also like johnny harris' videos on leaving too. there's aspecting that are so fascinating but wild to me like tithing, esentially doomsday prepping, three tiers (planets?) of heaven like how did someone invent this in like 1800s rural america? and then get people to believe it? mad

I can relate! I left a cult at 21. No exposure to music, tv, newspapers radios etc. also not allowed outside friends etc. none of it struck me as odd until I left and saw ‘ normal’ life.
Even to this day, 20 years later, I’m totally fascinated by the mundane and minutiae of normal existence. Just enjoy seeing how people live their lives.

This is one of the points I remember from one of the FLDS docs I watched: one of the ‘escapees’ said she had zero frame of reference for anything related to popular culture and when people started quoting ‘Friends’ she had no clue what was happening 🫤

Wasn’t the IVF basically gender selection because Grace, their triplet spirit, needed a female body this time? He definitely wanted to have a AFAB daughter didn’t he.

Was she even really pregnant that time when they said it was ectopic.
That’s what I wondered. She contradicted his version twice and he was not happy about it.
The bit at the end said that baby Grace was born in April this year. 😕

Wow. I’ve listened to the podcast and this is much darker than anything I remember. Must watch this doc.

I suppose if TF guy is closeted that might explain his homophobia. But whether gay or straight, he utterly HATES women. The malicious glee in his eyes when he was abusing them was something else. Dangerous man.

I hope a former member or family finally catches up with him and knocks him out - and his thick, football-headed wife

I hope baby Grace is okay. Not a great place for a baby, especially with those parents. 😕

Just watched the Twin Flames one on Netflix. All quite strange how they got so involved. I wonder if the people featured had a lot more going on in their lives before they joined which made them more susceptible to falling for it. It was all so shallow from the start it never seemed to explain how they got properly drawn in. Especially the with the twin Sister.

Is A&E network or app available in the UK? If so, starting January 8th, they are releasing a 10 episode series titled "Secrets of Polygamy" which will cover the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS), the Kingston clan, and the Apostolic United Brethren (AUB).
