My Dad is Polygamist Cult Leader Warren Jeffs | Untold Horrors of FLDS w/ Survivor Rachel Blackmore

[@inhiscare1]

I met Rachel on a flight back to Montana. She was in Protective Custody at that time with her children. I thought I was sitting next to s college girl, little did I know. During the flight she shared her story with me. What a brave lady who went into hiding to protect herself and her children... Good for her for fighting to break this story open...

[@annastewart7139]

I remember seeing her on Escaping Polygamy. She seems so selfless. I admire how she has not only overcame her trauma but uses her story to help other people.

[@GealicGirl]

May she find healing for herself and her children and may she have every happiness as she continues on her journey with her children. What a brave inspirational woman.

[@valeriemoran842]

What a brave and amazing lady!

[@lisalemponen701]

I have the utmost respect for this young lady she has persevered and shown many that she can overcome pretty much anything

[@white.iris.cottage.design]

After she left, Rachel said she and her children said "It's OK to be happy". What a horrific life they had before. I'm so glad they found freedom!

[@MsGhost87]

This is exactly what I feel for my Jehovah Witness family members. I wish they could just be authenticly happy, but I believe fear rules their lives due to the church being so overbearing on them. It IS OK to be happy ❤

[@white.iris.cottage.design]

@@MsGhost87 Unfortunately many confuse religion and spirituality. They are two different things. Our Creator and the Source of all is Divine Energy filled with Love. Religion is man made, filled with mans rules of which most are designed to control people. I have found true love, joy, peace and freedom in a personal relationship with my Creator!

[@MsGhost87]

@user-vh5xd4if4x I couldn't agree more! I still consider myself Christian, but I can't adhere to any religion due to the corruption man does to the word of God. So, I do my own thing & I take what I like & leave the rest. I have integrated many beautiful aspects of many different beliefs into my own. Bottomline, like you said, we are all part of the same creator, we are all one & should act like it instead of believing in twisted words from men who have the audacity to think creator is speaking only to them! It's a horrible lie that has been perpetuated since the beginning. Once people realize they too can have a relationship with creator, they don't need to rely on another human telling them how to believe in something NONE of us will truly understand until we leave these bodies.

My husband and I were invited to a local Mormon church. We were intrigued by their reputation of great family’s and food preparedness. If you are not born into this insanity, there is no sane person that would join-believe- this CRAP! I’ve tried to read their books, no sane 50:59 person would believe the content! We even went every Sunday (as outsiders visiting), for 6 mos! They separate the men & women for Sunday school. They made young teens stand up in front of the congregation and say “I know it’s true”! 😳. Organized religion is a 💰💵 making business but the Mormons are child molesters in certain groups! I’ve watched videos that make you cry! We don’t need organized anything any more, let the towns and cities take care of our own! Almost ALL churches are RUN by corperations! Let’s set ourselves FREE! GOD BLESS AMERICA AND OUR GOD LOVING PERPLE!!!

Prays to you.. your a amazing women. I'm so glad that your free from fear, horror, abuse. Keep faith in God and learn the truth.

[@shanahiggins4413]

My Mothers family was Mormon. My Great Grandfather was an elder in the church and my Great Grandmother was very strong in her faith. When the church sent out the edict that the men were now required to have multiple wives my Great Grandfather told them he would not do what his God and his country said was wrong. My Great Grandmother would have done whatever her church required but decide that she would follow her husbands guidance. Had he not been a strong, moral, courageous, loving man our lives would have been very different. His name was Ephraim Kidman and I could not be more grateful to him and to God for him.

[@valerieblouch5409]

I'm thankful for your great grandfather also. His wisdom, and courage, is a wonderful legacy.

[@carbine090909]

What a wonderful legacy. Blessings!

[@heidilouann]

Did your grandfather stay in mormanism? Joseph Smith married a 9 year old girl, whether the country makes it illegal or not, all of mormanism is based on this evil belief. I hope you found a way out. If there is evil in The roots it will have evil fruit

[@tannermommabear6182]

K but that's mormon, not flds, there's a difference. People don't distinguish that I am not an active member but my whole family is Mormon or LDS it's different then the flds or polygamist community.

​@@tannermommabear6182 but they have the same history and roots. The FLDS is a very close reflection of the historical church

[@shelliregnier1712]

Wow. I can't wrap my head around how warped FLDS and Warren Jeffs and his clan are. The fact that she managed to get away alive and is thriving is nothing short of a miracle. Rachel and all the girls who left are all badasses in my book. So glad to see this podcast today. Thank you for another fascinating podcast.

[@lemonhead162]

The boys who were kicked out as kids, left on a deserted highway to fend for themselves is also a feat of strength!

[@cathleenjones8973]

They are going to he'll, cuz you can't be so depraved and be a true follower of God

[@RenitaB.B.]

The worst thing Warren tried to teach is "Don't question the prophet". Intellegent minds always question. Rachel your gift is your mind. Grateful you shared your story. You have come very far and I would appreciate you sharing the life you live after you've lived your life not having to go back to the past. The eagle winged Rachel that soars above everything because you've told us everything we need to know about the past and you live Your chosen path for a while and even you don't recognize yourself because you are complete in owning you, Your own Power. Keep flying Rachel, you are ❤ed.

[@RenitaB.B.]

"We don't think like you guys", They Have To Know This! Again, thank you Rachel. Now they know, "I"Don't Think Like Them.

[@RenitaB.B.]

"If we're happy is something wrong, is something bad going to happen because we're happy?" All of our children need to know this story. Informing the children is the Change. Thank you Rachel.❤

[@RenitaB.B.]

"Have a very hard time following a group because of everything I've been through", "For me to look or listen to an authoritative preacher", it's hard for me too. "Men are above men I don't really believe in that", I do go directly to my God. "Man have led me astray so many times". Thank You Rachel... Thank You Jeremy and Melissa...

[@geomodelrailroader]

Warren is Not God! The FLDS need to stop worshiping him he is evil. They don't read the scriptures they read Warren's blasphemies sermons.

The hard subjects , not always pleasant, but necessary to speak. Your gentleness with her was sweet.

[@msnola915]

Agreed❤

[@jimbob6062]

Yes, I agree also. It was wonderful the way you both allowed Rachel to tell her story without asking any questions that were too personal. Another great interview.

[@Pariah_Larry]

Also totally agree. So many interviewers interrupt or fake laugh or hijack the stories/conversation. Its refreshing to see thoughtful interviewers that actually respect the gravity of the hosts story & allow her to tell it at her own pace. I’m sure it’s traumatic and cathartic at the same time to tell this story.

[@deborahkelly4011]

Well done Rachel. I was sexually abused when I was 6 or 7 and it's been hard growing up. I'm 59yrs old and wouldn't change a thing because I'm proud of the person I am today xx

[@labhrais6957]

💜

[@Ovahea]

I too was sexually abused for a few years. The anger I had made me physically abuse students at school. Even after the abuse stopped . I continued to hurt others throughout my high scool days. I didn't realize it to 30 yrs later. It was me letting out the anger. The emotional part of my healing was hard.. until I found my true love.,, Jesus . I was saved. There was this one girl I picked on a lot on the school bus everyday. Years later I went to her parents house apologized to them. Then I also deeply apologize to her. And asked her for forgiveness.. it was a glorious day for me.

[@deborahkelly4011]

I can relate to your anger and taking it out on others. You try to put what happened behind you but your head doesn't work like that. It will come out one way or another.

[@elizabeththomas8746]

I am so sorry. If I may. After the suffering and the time of healing, it's amazing how we can look back and realize Christ was with you in strength the whole time to get you where you are today. Alive and well.

[@Simple-d9i]

I have followed this story and others surrounding Warren Jeffs. Definitely a subject people need to hear about today and always imo. To say that being a predator behind the name of God is horrific. The cult culture does exist. These children do not deserve this.

I just watched Rachel's brother Ammon talk about his life, he is full brother to Rachel, I am so glad they have gotten beyond their father's unholy hold on their lives. The strength it takes to understand you had been brainwashed or raised in a cult, and then realize it is wrong and unhealthy, and then leave knowing you will be shunned, is amazing. God bless this sweet woman.

If I ever feel like I can’t do something, I will think about Rachel’s spirit. Definitely going to buy her book.

[@jena425]

I am completely fascinated at how Rachel's inner compass of morals and goodness were so strong despite her being in a bubble, from the world. She was isolated and caught up in the FLDS rules but she just knew it isn't healthy and challenged it. Love this. Well done Rachel you are so brave smart, strong, independent.

What a brave young woman to share her story. She seems to have a hard time making eye contact. Girl you don’t need to look away. You are courageous and strong. Keep sharing your story proudly

[@GailJohnson-qb7fv]

Did you notice how she changed her expression at the end? It was wonderful to see. I'm sure it's not easy, still, to tell her story, but she was probably relieved to do it . They were great in the interview, asking her questions and giving her plenty of time to tell her story, making it as easy as they could for her. Important to learn about these horrific things happening to women and children. I wish that, like others above mentioned, the prison authorities would put a stop to his continuing control of so many people.

[@lemonhead162]

If course she has a hard time making eye contact. She was born in a strange world and only knew her group. They weren't allowed to socialize like normal people, have parties, go to the movies, dance, listen to music or even laugh. Cut her some slack!

Amazing testimony! I remember when this was in the headlines and I was thinking how could all those people believe and support such a narcissistic con-artist?!

I'm so glad you got to have her on your show. I have been so interested since I watched escaping polygamy was on. I'm a Christian and it saddens me to see so many of these people who leave the teachings turn away from God as a whole. The religious teachings were so manulative that it hardens their hearts to even trust in God. He truly is the one who gives us peace in good and difficult times. Praise God she was able to still hear the holy spirit guide her to her freedom. So happy for her new life and the amazing man to share it with. Hugs to you Rachael and your family.

Working with DCFS during the years of the mass expulsion of so many young boys and some girls, their experience is drastically different from LDS kids in the community.

And yet I am also a survivor and was able to break free of a cult just the same.

Sending prayers for complete healing for you and your children and for deliverance for the others stuck in the same situation. 🙏 I had friends that were Mormons and they invited me to their church. I went once for myself and thought immediately after they were talking about Joseph Smith and the profits that it was a cult even though the woman's class was positive. My Mennonite friend wanted to go and she got right up in the service and said come on this is a cult and walked out.

S. I am out-shouted without a huge platform so that the American people are unaware of this things or that there are other serious candidates out there and that we are trying.

What an strong, amazing, brave, courageous and beautiful person and mother! Rachael, you are such an inspiration to so, so many! May God continue to bless you and your family. ❤️

[@christinehoxie3691]

Bless you young lady. So glad you’re free from all that. You’ve got the wisdom now to help others. Hugs

[@tylerboyce6502]

I'm really proud and inspired by what Rachael has turned into. She deserves the best after what she dealt with.

[@kathykoeven]

Very strong woman! Sad about all she had to go through but happy she got herself free from Warren’s control!!

[@amythomas824]

I’ve seen the compound in Eldorado, Texas. It’s not far from where I live. It had to have cost millions… it was ridiculous. Warren Jeffs was jailed and prosecuted in my county. Rachel, I’m so sorry honey. I wished they could have saved you sooner. Much love ❤

[@lorettataylor9902]

Thank you for sharing. I’m so glad Rachel and her children got out. I pray others will have their eyes opened to the truth and get out. Thank you Rachel for sharing.😊

[@BigMamou367]

I'm so glad she broke free. And the way she keeps herself uplifted is amazing. And her faith remains unwavering.

[@irmastevens3277]

What an amazing woman! The irony of the thought that she felt unworthy when she is the epitome of light and love that her wretched father only ever pretended to be! Her strength and bravery is awe inspiring ❤ God Bless you and your children Rachel!

[@mamabear1324]

It was. So sweet her trying to explain yall are down to earth at the end of the interviewIt was. So sweet her trying to explain yall are down-to-earth at the end of the interview. Yeah, I'll did a great job in the interview. And she did a strong brave thing by coming out and talking about it.❤

[@tar2927]

Great podcast .....even when you take away FLDS part ......there are thousands of woman and men need to hear her message of healing.

[@labhrais6957]

"Kids dont always listen to their parents." As a mom of 2, I felt that in my soul

[@elisebarlow]

Thank you for honoring Rachels story🙏🏻 she’s a very strong woman! I too was raised in the same cult and was good childhood friends with her older sisters. I spent most of my childhood in the SLC area same as Rachel. My father was very intimately involved and connected with Warren. I’ve been following your channel since you moved from Washington and enjoy your content.

[@Mystlyn26]

I hope you have gotten out, hope you are in a better place. Bless you.

[@dotgoodwin4312]

[@pattibaker2222]

Wow! I hope Rachel continues to share her story. What a sweet, wise, and brave soul. 🙏💖

[@jennyb4095]

Very informative account of life in a cult and the way to freedom. May Rachel's testimony be the gateway for others who struggle with similar issues. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@cindyeyler]

Thanks for sharing. I left Mormonism when I was a teenager and the more I hear the more I’m shocked and grateful I did.

[@fenderbend3r]

Wow, amazing woman! Shows that even how much broken a person is, it is always up to her with the help of God, family & friends to get over it and say this is not the end of the world and that I will make my next generation better and best. This made me cry. Thank you so much

[@ribbleslipscomb5171]

Like so many others, I have seen so much concerning this cult. It always breaks my heart to hear these personal accounts, but I believe we must to understand their journey. Rachel, is a wonderful person, with a bright future. Bless you, and yours, Rachel. ❤❤❤😊😊😊

[@cabincreature1242]

Thank you for sharing. What a strong woman Rachel is. It is unbelievable that this is happening in our country.

[@shineeye4896]

Very emotional What a strong, inspiring young lady Thanks for bringing her on

[@user-lg3rx2ko5g]

Rachel is very wise, eloquent, a self-assured and faith-filled woman despite the odds. I’m so glad I came across this. Thanks for this intriguing listen.

[@theresathaler3444]

Best podcast yet! What a brave woman. So glad she escaped that crazy cult of abuse and is willing to speak out.

[@ovelhanegra3658]

What a shining star this young, sensible and sweet girl is! Your final message reflects the gold that is in your heart. I wish you a beautiful life!

[@kellysimpson4638]

I've followed Rachel's story from the Warren Jeff's group, and also follow the story from the girls who escaped the Order and the Kingston group- would love to see those girls on the podcast. I really got my eyes open when I came across these stories xx

[@Set-Apart-By-Grace]

Thank you, Rachel for your testimony.... God bless you!

[@lauralee7281]

What a beautiful human being. I’m so happy she and her kids are living their best lives.

[@cokrug]

Wow! Rachel is truly inspiring. Thank you for this wonderful interview.

[@genevievekelly4998]

Rachel is beautiful inside and out and has gone on to raise and lead her gorgeous children to success ❤

[@dominiqueromero6279]

I’m not religious but if god IS real. He lives with inside this women. She has one of the sweetest souls and Auras. I truly hope she has nothing but happiness from here on out in her life into the next. ❤

[@nurseb124]

He is real and I pray right now in the name of Jesus Christ you have an encounter with him. It’s sick how ppl take the name of god and twist it to meet a wicked agenda. God is love. Anything that doesn’t represent love is not of him idc what religion it is

[@lindsayschmidt2177]

I am religious (Jewish) but also very spiritual, and I completely agree with your comment. She just shines with hope and peace and it’s wonderful to watch her.

[@prinsespluis]

Aha. You're not religious yet you believe in word concepts like soul and aura😅

[@shellydressel23]

Melissa & Jeremy, yet another powerful interview. I admire all of you for having this conversation. Rachael, how fantastic that you broke the pattern and you are amazing! thank you for sharing.

[@ReginaGavin]

I feel honored to have heard so much courage from your wise old soul. Thank you for sharing your bad experiences, my young soul would not have handled everything very well at all. Wow, just wow 😢

[@patricianelson6451]

Thank you for this . She is a strong women. I like what you are doing with this channel. Keep up the information and good reporting. All need to hear this. Warren Jeffs is a monster. Rachel is a credit to all humanity. She has been through so much and still her good soul stands out. Your interaction with her is also so impressive.
