Ex-FLDS Member Reaction to a Polygamous Mother Looking For Her Daughter 

I know this girl. I feel so bad for her. She's been through a lot. For the years her mom was gone she was constantly told how awful her mom is, so I'm sure she's so confused right now. My parents were "sent away" as well and Ellie and I both lived in the same creeker orphanage. It was horrible, especially for the younger kids. It's tough as a kid, having no one around who cares about you at all.

I watched the interview. I thought the reporter did a great job and was very respectful. The strength and kindness that radiated from the mother was palpable. I’m praying for her.

I lost my baby last year from a late miscarriage... I blame myself even though I know it wasnt. I can't imagine the mental toll if someone I thought was next to God saying it was my fault and I was a murderer.

Your compassion flows through the screen, inspiring others to understand.

Thank you so much for everything you do! You are true heroes!

Thank you for sharing and for advocating for the humanity of people and their families!

I haven't seen you two for quite a while. It's good to see you!

I know this woman she was a sweetheart and a second cousin to my Mom. I can hardly watch stuff like this, knowing that my Mom is still there with my beautiful younger sisters believing in Warren Jeff's.

Do you suggest that these mothers file papers as soon as they leave instead of waiting?

I’m originally from Idaho. Have many Mormon loved ones in Utah. It wasn’t until I listened to the Bundyville podcast that I started to understand about the different LDS or FLDS groups in southern Idaho. Check out that podcast when you have a chance.

Elizabeth's husband is the brother of shem Fischer, the guy you had on another video

I love this story! Thank you for looking into this. Her interviews were so interesting. I want to throw in another comment stating that Melissa's audio has seemed off the past couple videos. Is it just me?

I find it interesting Rulon chose the sisters before they kicked the father out

I just wanted to tell you I think it's amazing that you keep spreading stories. It must br so hard and frustration to hear everything. But I think your channel is so important for spreading awareness!

Y’all might want to check your mic settings because Sam sounds weirdly echoey but Melissa sounds fine

I had a miscarriage 25-1/2 years ago. I still grieve.

You were just mentioned in 'Growing up in Scientology' live stream. Aaron is a good guy! Just a heads up!

The "priesthood group " is what the FLDS group was called when Bill roundy joined. Then later on they became known as FLDS.

I know this has nothing to do with the case at hand, but watching this has me curious. Has there ever been a group of wives to escape together? It’s just when Melissa was talking about the two sister wives who thought their kids were being punished too harshly it had me wondering if things about the kids ever got so bad that wives teamed up and escaped together? That would be awesome if they did. Imagine how much easier it would me to leave if your sister wife has your back.

I know this channel is focused more on the FLDS experience, but you have both shared your faith journeys along the way. I wonder if you have a reaction to the news that the LDS church has been fined millions and is still under investigation by the IRS? It’s quite the story, but I haven’t seen it on the mainstream news. I’m glad the little girl was found and I hope she will have counselling to get through her experience. ❤

The Human Mind Can Be Powerless Against Other Human Minds😢

Timer 4:00 The original Idaho group is the Bill Roundy group, or rather family, in the small farming community of Monteview. Bill was her father (I think). He joined the Priesthood group in the 50's I think (renamed FLDS in the 1980's by Rulon Jeffs). Bill had 7 wives. There are now a bunch of ex-flds in Idaho, but I think most of them are farther North around(y) Bonner's Ferry, to be near Winston Blackmore's Creston Canada group or family. But to this day, the priesthood group is the FLDS (vs the church group: LDS), which the FLDS priesthood has now had many breakaways since the FLDS name was added in the 1980's for legal protection, as all the lawsuits got underway by the splitoffs/"apostates", as the Jeffs were in the throws of apostasy themselves (sex crimes) and subsequent criminal charges by the state. So this is a synopsis basically delineating the difference between the Priesthood vs the Church ever since the 1890 manifesto and the subsequent formation of the polygamy fundamentalists ("the priesthood"). In the dealings of God with man, there are 3 entities, in order of heirarchy: 1. The Priesthood or authority of God, with a Council of 7, and 70 Sanhedrin. 2. The Church or people of God, with a Council of 3 presidents and 12 apostles. 3. The Kingdom or world power of God, with a Council of 50. .

Any plans on reaching out to Carolyn Jessop for a chat? Did Sam ever meet Merril or Betty while in Short Creek? Carolyn's books are so amazing! All of her kids are so strong. Really enjoying your channel!

I saw her interview and my heart just broke. So sick. Sam, does your family see your kids?

Bountiful, BC, Canada is part of the Warren Jeffs group which has had the gocernment come down upon them for the pasf 2 decades which led to a split wuthin the Bountiful group.

The most honest are also the ones who can cause the biggest problems by not lying for the religion.

There are a lot of FLDS families in Southeast Idaho. I live in the Pocatello area and I see them frequently in Winco and Joann. I work as a cashier and they don't care for conversation. You may get a friendly word or two from some, but others keep their lips tights.

Coukd you say a ball park of what years it was on top of stating time by what person was leading?

I believe my grand mother's father was a "leftover" polygamist. They changed the law in 1893 there were still many polygamist my grandma (along with many other 2nd 3rd wives) & children were sent to colonies such as Colorado City. My grandma only saw her father once or twice a year. When she was 15 or 16 she finally got sent to Logan to live with her Dad. Soon after she 🤔I think eloped. All this is fuzzy she told much to my children's father but never to us (he my children's father was not LDS he was & is a biker) My mom is Dallon Oaks cousin so she did genealogy on her mother's side, it was easier because they come from a first wife. I suspect that Hyrum oaks was polygamist, because he only spent 3 months a year with the family. Mom said "long enough to beat the 13 children & get great grandma pregnant. I'm looking into genealogy where things get fuzzy between 1890 & 19teens

It occurs to me that Warren Jeffs is a real life Bergermeister Meisterberger. ( Santa Claus is Coming to Town)

Audio has a little bit of reverb, fyi.

If you guys ever need feel good news east Idaho news does a secret Santa giveaway to people who need it and it's always a good happy cry lol

Priest River is in what would be considered North Idaho. There really isn't an "East Idaho." You have the northern panhandle and southern Idaho.

Love listening to you guys but I have a very hard time hearing Sam even with my volume up all the way. If there is anyway to increase him volume somehow? It would be great! Hope you don’t take offense, just some feedback and I have to stand within a foot of my speaker to hear him. 😅

If they don't get people join, or have babies, what will happen when to many members die off? that will be interesting to see

Can you post this pictures so we can post on Facebook? Flooding FB may help.

So why aren't the current leaders of the FDLS being arrested for sex trafficking of minors? I do not understand why our socieity won't stand up for children and women who are in such abusive situations. Freedom of religion is one thing, but deliberately hurting children is another and this should be stopped!

Have you read Rachel Jeffs' book "Breaking Free"? I'd love to hear your thoughts on it!

I imagine you don't have control over the ads that are shown during your video, but I thought I should let you know what ads I'm being shown. I'm 21 minutes into the video and have been shown two ads for a church. I just skipped them but now I wish I'd paid more attention to which churches they were for... anyone else seeing these ads?

do you think lyle Jeffs was just following warrens directives or do you think like I do that he abused the power he had
