Exclusive Interview with an Insider: Exposing FLDS Secrets

[@Rodal0210]

So happy to see that you are giving the Black family a safe space to share their stories and raise awarness in a loving matter.

[@katythriftyunder35homeowne57]

The women in the FLDS are some of the most mentally strong, resilient women in this world. Sam and Melissa, thank you for the important work you do here.

..People who know me and my family have always told me, even as a young girl that, " You look just like your father".. I'm sure this young lady grew up hearing the same thing throughout her lifetime.. Because she is almost identical to her father.. Which by the way..I have watched the 2part series of her parents'story, along with her younger brother..Her parents seem like a very genuine couple..This was another great video❤!!

[@sleepycalico]

Can't wait for Part 2, even though I am also dreading the misery I know is coming. If I remember the parents' story perfectly, Aarona's strength to fight for the safety of the younger children is the "childrens' story" I have most longed to hear.

[@jeannebrown484]

Sam and Melissa~so much respect to the both of you for your support and reporting. You are just killing it on your full time channel.

[@GrowingUpinPolygamy]

Thank you! 😊

[@lesleymoses7852]

I am so humbled that your guests are able to share their stories with us and that your channel gives them the opportunity. I am so blown away by their strength and bravery. I loved her parents interviews, and her other siblings. Again we’ll done Sam and Melissa. Keep up the good work. Love from New Zealand.

[@amathans]

A beautiful couple with a wonderful, happy life and family. It is a shame Sam’s family doesn’t see him, Melissa and their children. If my son turns out to be as kind, helpful and selfless as Sam, I would be so very proud. I wish you both and your children, the best life has to offer, happiness and health to you all. Keep doing what you are doing. Well done for seeing the light and leaving Sam. Look what god has rewarded you with. A beautiful, strong and attentive wife, a son and a daughter who have amazing parents in you both. Peace and love Samantha and family from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 UK 🇬🇧

Thank you so much for sharing these stories, and thank you to the survivors for being strong enough to let the world know what is going on. I was raised in a strict, large, religious family. But I was never controlled like this. I don't like my religious upbringing, so I can't imagine growing up like this and being so strong!

[@emmawood1232]

You deserve every subscriber and like. You both work so hard!!!

[@staceyevans4737]

Excellent interview! Looking forward to part 2!

[@msbkay]

i should stopped being shocked by these stories shouldnt i??! look forward to hearing more! man, it just reminds you that women are resiliently created human beings!!! maybe you guys will get to it in the next video....and i know it is usually asked like, what happened to folks when they leave or what is it that they do when they leave... but this experience, in its totality, is pretty traumatic. i know some folks have discussed going to therapy. did sam go to therapy? i know therapy is a deeply personal thing but ... just an idea for an interview ... bring on some mental health professionals? maybe those that have worked with this population and some things that are unpacked or explored through therapy or other modalities? i know some transition to another faith but curious what other outlets support healing and refuge once you leave a "cult" environment. thanks yall!

[@GrowingUpinPolygamy]

This is a fantastic idea! Thank you

[@tonirodriguez7470]

Thank you for sharing your story and for getting out. Anyone who is approached by a Mormon and they start preaching the Bible to you.........run. you might be the next victim of this horrible cult.

[@MPGRAY84]

You two have such a great spirit and ability to connect to people!! I’m so glad that Amanda Rae introduced me to y’all, a while ago! I just feel like y’all have a way with people, that not very many people have. I can tell that you’re both incredibly intelligent & I immediately felt a sense of trust. Thank y’all for everything you’re doing!!

[@makesprettythings]

I am so angry for the Black family and wish them well in their present and futures. But I am loving these interviews with them! Can’t wait until Friday! 😬 Thanks Sam and Melissa! 💕

[@GrowingUpinPolygamy]

Thank you so much for your support! 😊

[@lindygraham8412]

I love your content. Watch often! The audio tonight seemed off or muffled? It's not normally like that so just letting you know incase you guys were unaware.

[@GrowingUpinPolygamy]

Thank you!

[@FaithBurnside]

Regarding when people found out Warren was in jail, wasn't Sam's dad something of a leader in the community? It would make sense that he might have known things first.

[@heatherreilly6595]

he was, but if memory serves, he was taken out of his position

[@GrowingUpinPolygamy]

Hi Faith! Yes, that is a great point. My father was highly respected and had high callings in the church.

[@katwitanruna]

Liked, shared and commented

[@ridwaanmohamed869]

I wonder if being from a family where polygamy isn't practiced at all plays a role in leaving the FLDS in some small way.

[@hatchhouseadventures]

This definitely puts a new light on Warren’s evil. I didn’t know he had a long term plan.

[@gregshell8570]

I'm sure satan helped out. Warren can't be this diabolical alone.

[@galejohnson8086]

This member/nonmember…have you ever read Dr Seuss book about Stars-on and Stars-off? Sounds that same and just as crazy

[@GrowingUpinPolygamy]

I have not read that yet but I'm looking it up now 😊

[@amandan943]

Yes!!!!

[@merinjc]

It's called The Sneetches, and I was thinking the exact thing during the part of the interview about all the re-baptising! Thank you Aarona, for sharing your experience. You are so strong!

[@leonahendricks6577]

What is the point of eternal marriage if one spouse is part of the untied order and the other is not worthy enough. 🙄 it angers me that warren was able to hurt so many people and convince them to believe almost the complete opposite.

[@sunnylilme]

What is the current state.of warren Jeff and FLDs? Could we get an update video. I bet yall are in the know of the community

[@janesmith9024]

I think he or his son Heleman with or without his backing have been making some new orders for people to gather suggesting families might be reunited but it may be to divide them even further and may be some marriages may be starting again. (If there are no marriages the FLDS will die out)

[@biddiemutter3481]

26:05 It seems from an outsider, that he was punishing everyone else for a situation that he was totally to blame for.

[@skyjust828]

Is your "brick wall" waving? Or are my meds messing with me again?😱

[@mienafriggstad3360]

😮🙏

[@katwitanruna]

Break the silence. Break the cycle.

[@candygram4435]

So messed up😢

[@RositaHuff-yx2bg]

….and all of that in the name of what god????
