[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I do not understand how someone like this Samuel guy gets anyone at all to listen to anything he says, let alone followers. It's bizarre. [/b]

The abuse is frightening, but watching this after all of the Epstein files coming out I wonder -- what percentage of men just devolve to this when they have enough power? Given everything I've seen lately, it has to be higher than I would have thought. [/quote]
It's a multi-generational cult built largely on SA of women and children. Girls are taught from birth that your eternal salvation from Outer Darkness depends upon your absolute obedience to the Prophet, to your father, to other men (all of whom are priesthood holders). Men need to marry as many women and father as many children as they can to secure their place in the Celestial Kingdom, which fits nicely with the aforementioned basis of SA.

When Warren Jeffs said no more marriages and no more babies, most of his followers obeyed him. Moroni finally did not and was ostracized, then Samuel filled the power vacuum by claiming that he was the prophet and legitimizing his own "marriages" and those of others. The women obey out of physical and spiritual fear. The men operate with varying degrees of commitment to their spiritual belief and simple monstrous SA intent. [/quote]
