[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Omg. Did anyone watch this? So creepy. I still can’t get it out of my mind. The new FLDS “prophet” had wives ranging in age from 11-15. I believe there was also a 9 year old. He arranged sex orgies where they had to watch each other and their own parents having sex. Also some other men had sec with his wives. Some of the wives are mother and daughter. I am traumatized.

I am still dumbfounded that Samuel allowed them to be filmed by outsiders.[/quote]

The show is sooooo good!  I never got into any of the other polygamy shows, but this one was exceptionally well-made.  The filmmakers were able to basically become a part of the community and get inside access.  Without them, Samuel may still be abusing children.  I'm following Nomz now - I love how the villain of the entire show is now the hero.  It also changed my view of the FLDS - I previously found myself somewhat open to the belief that they should be allowed to practice polygamy without government interference, but watching this show took me down a rabbit hole of research on how many young girls are abused in the FLDS community. I don't believe it's an overstatement to say that the entire religion is built to subjugate, enslave, and abuse women.  The sad part is that the women are so lost in their faith that they can't escape it.  Putting Warren Jeffs in prison just created a void for the next, even more corrupt man to step in and take all the women for himself.  Nomz got out because she spent two years in jail, isolated from her community.  Would she have left without that experience?  Unlikely. [/quote]
