As someone who grew up Mormon and has since left the church, you did a great job explaining the founding of the LDS church from the prospective of an outsider looking in

[@ZoeF.O]

You mean from the perspective of an outsider? 😅 Prospective people are something else.

Interesting point to pinpoint at tho

[@kallmekris]

[@asenamortia6877]

@@ZoeF.O I suck at spelling and that’s what my phone autocorrected to, plus it looked similar enough my brain didn’t register it was wrong, be happy I didn’t put POV as I nearly gave up and did lol

[@kallmekris]

ALSO I just want to note that my definition of polygamy came straight from the dictionary. I’m aware majority of FLDS and some LDS Mormons only practice having multiple wives and not multple husbands, but I didn’t want to wrongly assume there are or were not a few members practicing plural husband marriages (because i actually know of one.) Can’t win either way lol. I also know that there are different words for each, but polygamy means either or 👍🏻🫡 just some clarification for all the commenters sprinting to correct me 😂

[@AllisonM90]

When I was 14, my Mom and I went to visit her ex bf and his son in Utah, we are from California. And I met my very first polygamists. We went to Huntington Lake, which is near where they lived in Price, Utah. The son was gay and had a bf and all his friends were gay, they were oddly nervous I thought, to be near this other family, but he had to remind me, "It's not like California here." When I say it was like being on the Moon I mean it. The guy had like 5 wives and 20+ kids. I was gobsmacked.

[@Aliceee-z4y]

As a LDS member, I want to say there should be no active temple worthy LDS members practicing polygamy.

[@deviantash]

Thanks for calling this what it is. Being born and raised in Utah but non-LDS, there is a lot of rug sweeping where this stuff come in.

[@RSAMommacyndi]

Women having more than one husband is polyandry. Polygamy is for any type of multiple spouse situation. i,e, polyandry is a polygamous marriage.

[@AllisonM90]

@@deviantash I just don't see how having multiple wives is good for anyone.

[@TheParadoxMachine]

The DM in my DnD group is married to a woman who escaped the FLDS. She grew up in the same community that Jeffs led. She ran away when she was 16 because she was about to be married off to one of Jeffs relatives that was in his 50s at the time. She now helps people escape the FLDS. Living in Utah, it actually not too uncommon to run into people who grew up in the FLDS compounds. I used to work with a guy who was kicked out of one of them when he was 14, just taken to Salt Lake City and dropped off and abandoned, because they had too many men/boys and not enough girls/women. I guess it's pretty common practice for them to abandon young men/boys to the streets to avoid the old men having to compete for more wives.

[@motomyrt]

I was wondering that already! Like if you have 50 wifes, where are you getting all the women? There’s gotta be some lonely men in those communities too. But if they got kicked out that’d explains it

[@yourlifeisagreatstory]

I always recommend Big Love. It’s a threat show, with a great cast including Bill Paxton. It is just a show but it gives a glimpse into this world.

[@Shadowfate93]

​@@motomyrt they're called lost boys

[@Kimburger31]

My father in law ran away from the flds compound when he was 16 too. He doesn't talk much about his childhood. It's too traumatic.

[@paulablack1863]

You're telling the truth. I watched a documentary about people who live in Salt Lake Utah just simply they can save the abandoned/runaway teens. Boys were always abandoned, and females were always run aways.

[@PoB-wm5gp]

As someone who has done a school service project trip to Hildale for a week to help people leaving and still part of the FLDS, I can say firsthand that being their feels...wrong. You can feel and see the damage caused by Warren Jeffs. After spending time with one of his wives and the bodyguard who turned against him (+ bodyguard's whole family), and staying in one of the houses he had built, it changes your perspective even more.

[@leeannspencer2952]

Yess!! I once dated a guy who was raised in the FLDS and had left we once stayed at his father’s house & it’s such a weird feeling that you get in that place.

[@natalieford3238]

My parents were Mormons. I had a babysitter who was in the stake, and her son SA'd me (he 14, me 6). His mom walked in and caught him doing it, and told me if I said anything that she would tell everyone I "seduced" him. What 6 year old knows what 'seduced' means?? My mother knew it happened, but just moved me to a different babysitter. I will have nothing to do with Mormons.

[@MelissaLawrence2002]

That is disgusting. I'm sorry that experience had such a horrible impact on I'm sure the rest of your life as that isn't a trauma that just disappears. As a woman, I would never let anyone, related to me or not, get away with SA. My faith as a Mormon has nothing to do with that, the fact that I'm a human is what makes me empathize with you. I've also been SA'd by boys at school when I was in Jr high, and it was actually because I am mormon funnily enough. People can be so evil. I'm very sorry that mother let that happen to you without repercussions. I hope you still got some level of justice, especially because I'm positive no one with half a brain cell would believe a 6 year old seduced a man child. That infuriates me, especially since I have 3 small children in my life that I would protect with my life. How someone could look in their faces and call them the problem is just mind-boggling to me. I'm truly sorry you had to suffer this, at such a young age no less. I hope you've found some peace since, I'm too aware that's a very difficult thing to find. Sending you my love. Happy Thanksgiving ❤

[@natalieford3238]

@MelissaLawrence2002 No justice. The Stake protected him and his family, I found out decades later, forcing my parents to join a different stake. My PTSD from it is still there, but I have made peace with the fact that Karma will take care of it, in its own way. As for my mother, she is a maligninant Narcissist, and I cut ties with her decades ago. . Thank you for your empathetic and nurturing approach. Happy Thanksgiving to you as well.

[@cjpietropinto9293]

Love that you went here. As someone whos been too close to cult life, theres something healing in listening to a "normal" person discuss the topic. When you're in, strange behavior is normalized. And to all who say "I'd never be involved in a cult!" I want you to remember two things. First, most cult members are born in. And second, dont be fooled into thinking that all cults are religious. There are cults of politics, of influence, of business. Any kind of group think, can easily become cult like.

[@magikdust2095]

What happened during covid should've shown all of us that anyone can fall for lies and propaganda, everyone is susceptible to herd mentality and mass formation psychosis, and almost anyone can be brainwashed... not only religious people are susceptible to these things, everyone is. If someone is bombarded with lies and propaganda, and the truth is silenced, then anyone can start to believe the lies, especially if they are surrounded by other people who have already fallen for the lies and propaganda. There are more types of cults than just religious cults. There are secular cults, too. Most people need something to believe in, and if they don't have Religion, they are more likely to fall for other cultish beliefs and groups.

[@BrittanyPlothow]

I grew up in southern Utah and had many run-ins with FLDS folks. I also grew up in the mainstream LDS church. It was so wild to see how Jeffs turned into a full blown cult leader and how abusive he truly was. When I was in high school, he kicked out numerous teenage boys (so the older men could marry all the young girls) and those boys lived down the street from me. We called them The Lost Boys. The whole story breaks my heart.

I’m the 3rd generation of my family that has been born and raised in it, although my great grandpa is from Denmark. Multiple of my aunts were married to Jeff’s. Including my aunt Ann, Jennetta, and my aunt Kate. My mom got married to her third husband and my ex stepdad the same day she met him on a boat at lake Powell and she had never met him, neither did she know she was getting married.

I'm a Blackmore, and one generation away from the FLDS church. I was raised in the mainstream LDS church, but have been attending a Southern Baptist church with my kids for the last few years. I know way more than I'd like to about this cult, and I look for ways to help people out of it. I still have extended family in the FLDS church, many of whom are in Mexico and let me tell you, the groups there are TERRIFYING! Anyway. I appreciate when people spread awareness! It is ABSOLUTELY different from the LDS church, and although I have chosen a different church to follow I don't have hate towards the mainstream church. The "mormon culture" here in Utah is just not my cup of tea! But such good people. My family history and family tree is wild. My dad is from Cardston Alberta Canada, and good old Winston Blackmore is my great Uncle. Its unbelievable that the FLDS church has been allowed to do the things that it's done. As well as the Order(Kingston clan), AUB, and other fringe groups. The Order in Northern Utah is scary as heck. I'm so glad that my parents kept my sister's and I sheltered from much of this growing up. I chose to learn as much as I could, and I now have a strong pull up help people escape. I took my boys ice skating tonight, and half of the people skating alongside us were FLDS people. They've moved to our city in waves the last 5 years. Which I'm so glad for, because they had zero interaction with the outside world in Colorado City/Hildale.

"pray and obey" on the chimney of one of Jeff’s houses… I once went to that house as a teenager long after he had been arrested and no one lived there. It was a huge house and I remember it being am almost somber experience going inside, having someone tell you a small fraction of what this man did. Creepy, enraging and heartbreaking. One thing that I remember vividly was a secret room the size of a small bedroom I think. That at one point held records from the FLDS church as to who Jeff’s was married to. He was legally married to one wife and every other woman after was through the church and truly harrowing experience. And something I don’t expect to forget. Pray and Obey a sentence that will forever make me sick.

[@leeannspencer2952]

@you mean like Joseph Smith & Brigham Young. who started this nonsense?!? (Yea I am ex LDS I know my church history.) the FLDS just follow the unedited version of what Joseph smith & Brigham young taught when they arrived in Salt Lake City. The LDS & FLDS split when the government told them if they continued to practice polygamy they wouldn’t become a state. So if you hate men like Warren Jeff’s also hate Joseph smith & Brigham young because that is who they are following.

[@corrpendragon]

​@leeannspencer2952 unfortunately, Joseph Smith was speaking as a man, not a prophet, when he did literally everything that Warren Jeffs did (and much more), so it doesn't count. /s Also exmo.

One reason i love this channel (besides kris being incredible and my favorite youtuber) is that she is always respectful of modern day religions that aren't cults obivoulsy lol. As a christian who respects everyones beliefs and religions, its refreshing to see someone who, even though they may not share the same beliefs, is able to be respectful of other religions. I've watched so many youtubers who insult religions, and although i respect that they dont cherish the same ideals, it gets really old and is dissapointing. So i just wanted to say thank you, Kris, for being so respectful of everyone in your loving community you've created. We really appreciate you! And i know i for one pray for you often!

Happy Turkey Day 🦃 From East Tennessee 🧡🤠

[@onyxhaire975]

Fun fact my small town in BC Canada is roughly half populated with people who were at some point connected/escaped/kids of escapees of this cult. Most of them still practice being mormon, but not the FLDS version btw. The most common last name of them is Blackmore, and almost all of them name their kids with the same first letter of their names based on the year they were born (ex. Born in 2005 means your kids name starts with C). In my grad class of 87 kids, about 35-40 of them are all cousins and their family was at some point in the cult.😅 my town is wild honestly😂

[@autumnshennae0687]

Yeah I’m ex flds and I know that group as well. I’m related to some of them

[@adrinadraws4265]

My mom’s family was actually the second family to be kicked from the religion, I still have family members out there in Colorado city. I’m so lucky I wasn’t raised in it, but it’s eye opening to listen to my family members talk about their experiences with Warren

[@Thecraycraygurl]

As someone who is LDS, holy shit some of us are psychotic and its disgusting what people think is acceptable 🤢 Edit: I'm talking about LDS people not FLDS because they are very different things but she did mention in the video that LDS people do stuff like this and from my personal knowledge I know this too. Saying this because some of you think that I'm talking about FLDS being the same thing as LDS

[@Mrs_Warner13]

She is talking about the FLDS church not the LDS church. There is a big difference

[@Thecraycraygurl]

@@Mrs_Warner13 no I know, flds and LDS are different and I was meaning some LDS people practice polygamy still and do creepy shit, I'm also just talking about what I know not just from this video, also she did mention that some LDS do participate in polygamy

[@Mrs_Warner13]

@@Thecraycraygurl I’m a girl in the LDS church and our religion does not associate with those people. That is not what LDS stands for and the people that do have multiple wives, they can be part of the church but that not what the church is for

[@Thecraycraygurl]

@@Mrs_Warner13 again im lds, yes almost everyone in the lds community thinks this is disusting and i never said we associate with them. the church does not approve of this but some people find it acceptible

[@Howie242-d8r]

@@Mrs_Warner13well the flds essentially has the same beliefs that the original Mormon church established by Joseph smith had. You don’t practice it anymore, but your church founder sure did with multiple girls under 18, one was 18! I’m not here to tell you what to do with your life, you don’t seem to be harming anyone with your views. But I would think about the validity of your beliefs and find out the original racist, sexist, and disgusting teachings of your church.

Ty for the video also HAPPY THANKSGIVING KRISSSS

[@Ava-sillyyy]

AHHHH I GOT A LIKE 😻😻

[@WaffleFriesOrdinaryLife]

Hey Kris! A case I believe you should definitely cover is the Sylvia Likens case. It's so dark and twisted and researching it made me almost gag but it's definitely one I believe more people should know about. If you want to cover it that is, if not, that's totally fine too! Love your true crime vides, keep up the good work!

[@BennyandMeYT]

Hey Kris, thanks for enforcing the difference between LDS and FLDS as a very active person in the LDS church it means a lot to me, also I knew about churches who split from the LDS church but I never knew they where this sick ! If you haven’t can you cover Jonestown

[@Kimiyoutoob]

Both cults though. Please trust your own personal instincts & critical thinking. I sincerely wish you all the best.

[@ardentgeldenhuys5702]

i just watched the documentary after i watched this and i absolutely sobbed. how could one man possibly be capable of all this and still the church continues. he's sickening, acting as a puppeteer with people's lives for absolute years.

[@kalleighward953]

LOVING the longer videos Kris!! Love listening to you while i crochet! Thank you!

[@sillybandsurmom667]

Been waiting since yesterday for this one!!! As a poor soul in utah this is the stuff that makes my mind turn

[@XieLianWorshipper3]

I read a book on one of Warren's wives. She was originally the wife of Warren's father, Rulon, and had to marry Warren when Rulon died under the theat of the other wives. A rule for these cults is that women couldn't wear red, so when this wife escaped and took Warren to court, she and all the other escaped wives wore red

[@XieLianWorshipper3]

The book is called The Witness who wore Red if you're wondering

[@aimeethomp1]

My step mother was one of Warren’s wives. I have watched a ton of different things about it so I could see what she went through. I would totally recommend watching the Peacock special called Preaching Evil (they are in it!)

[@Lily.12_3]

I am thankful that I found you, Sam and Colby and more creators so early in life. You are always there to put a smile on our faces, give us a compliment in every video, and i love you for being you. We all love you Kris❤

[@btsarmyunicorn9800]

This guy's voice.... from the tapes like made me physically gag.... like..... his voice is just so creepy and it was so disgusting to hear him and the things he said....

[@alyjones9391]

i’m from utah county and grew up in the mainstream LDS church. i worked at bath and body works for a bit and we have some ladies in FLDS outfits and hairstyles who used to come in a couple of times a month, my heart would always break for them.

[@jenw.1618]

So apparently you have opened my eyes to what cult my ex is now in and I will not allow my child to be around him.

[@IxyMorningstar]

I grew up in Utah, as a member of the mainline LDS church. I had a friend whose family was FLDS, and man... it was weird going over there. To explain: the family had moved up to Draper from a community due to disagreements between the patriarch and the leadership, but stuck to the rest of the principles of the FLDS.

[@cecynay7369]

I grew up near a community of FLDS too. I think most of my friends eventually joined the LDS church, but at least one seems to have stayed and is a plural wife. I wish them all well ❤️

[@Ruoxiiii]

10:01 "And i passed math.... I failed math" so real tbh 💔😭

[@AnaMaria_0742]

Woah, it's the earliest I've ever gotten here. I know you're probably not going to see this, but I just wanted to say that around 2 years I used to watch a youtuber called Gloom. She signed off of KZbin for multiple reasons which she explained in her last video. I was really sad to see her leave, but happy that she decided to take care of herself. But then I stumbled upon your tik tok like AGES ago, and even started watching your videos here on KZbin ever since you posted your first two videos. To me, you're not really a replacement of who I used to call my comfort youtuber, but more of a band aid in a sense, or a warm blanket, that even now in though times has helped me power through. Your videos always make me smile and feel better, and I just felt the need to finally say that. Wherever you're headed in life in the foreseeable future please don't give up, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel! ❤

[@tawnia6950]

As someone who is personally connected to this situation I’m not used to people telling even a somewhat unbiased account. My parents left that group shortly after warren Jeff’s took over and moved north where one of my sisters actually married Winston, and they lost all their family for over 10 years before their siblings started coming and reconnecting and leaving the church, I still only know 1 of my I think 5 grandmas because of it, also grew up in a polygamist family, and it wasn’t as horrible as people tend to think Also, my aunts and uncles who knew Warren personally say he acted mentally ill from the time he was very young.

[@shaileyblackmore]

What was her name?

[@tawnia6950]

@ starts with L, 8 letters

[@CharlieButWhoAreYou]

I absolutely love these deep dives! I was wondering if you could do more things into long-lasting or cults that were before the 1900s? I know that's a big ask considering you probably won't read this, and because they might not be as famous, but even one episode would be great!

[@BronwynBunn]

I always fall asleep to these videos, and when I wake to get water or something I just hear, "and they were murdered in cold blood" and I'm like WHAT?!?!?!

[@noblesshorts]

i will never get tired of watching multiple essays on the same case. Specifically this, the Dyatlov Pass incident and the Nutty Putty cave incident. i'm just happy you picked this case up as well.

[@cecynay7369]

UGHHH the Nutty Putty one is the only video I've ever had to turn off because I couldn't breathe!! My brother used to go there all the time with his friends. But.. now my curiosity is peaked again and I might try to find it 🤣 I feel the same about the Dyatlav Pass and a few other crazy mysteries and shocking stories.. I've heard them a million times, but if I see anything about it, I'm clicking!!

[@KateMalene]

Thank you Kris for making these video, even if I have heard of some of these before I enjoy your videos a lot, they have the right amount of humor and disgust and I find myself making the same comments about these kinds of people like you do. I always look forward to a new video! Keep up the good work, you doing great!

[@IamLikeThis]

0:30 best intro thus far

[@katlynstar3454]

Fun fact LDS members will often call the FLDS members false latter day saints instead of fundamental latter day saints (I was Mormon for like a 1 1/2 for a Mormon guy who would get very pressed about the FLDS)

[@cecynay7369]

LDS my whole life in multiple countries and I've never heard this. Currently living near where this all happened. Personally, when I see the women at the store, I smile and go about my business. They've never looked distressed. They can have their faith. If they want to leave, they should (of course) be able to.

[@katlynstar3454]

@cecynay7369 it's just something I heard my ex boyfriend who was born/is Mormon say and many others in the ward I attended in my short time in the lds church it was always a sensitive topic when I would ask about the flsd branch

[@ravenswenson]

My sister was a juror in Warren Jeff trial the man was a monster. I went to rehab in Hillsdale and a lot of the staff for F.L.D.S. ladies the sweetest most innocent ladies you'd ever meet but you can see the trauma in all their eyes. Heartbreaking

[@ilovecone]

Happy thanksgiving 🍁 I’m thankful for Kris she helped me through hard times when I was very isolated and very sad ❤❤❤ thank you I love uuu

[@saidilumagaitanamaya6600]

The queen has posted !!!!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@smashedkittkate3244]

As an ex member who's great something grandfather was Wilfrod woodruff I can honestly say I have some religious trauma from this cult (ex from the LDS not the FLDS) and everytime I hear anything about the FLDS or Jeff Warren's it just makes me sick.

[@bobthebuilder-wv1xz]

Can you please do one on glory Vale in New Zealand it’s so toxic and it’s still going on now people try to escape but can’t and there’s so much assault and kids that has disabilities just end up dieing as the leaders don’t look after them

[@michellefranklin-tj1nq]

I was baptised mormon went to church for a month and left ...i also went after the higher ups. It was a real awakening the brainwashing, mind fucks that go on in their services. Truly sad seeing all these churxmch members smiling around me when i just wanted to shake them and tell them to walk out and never look back..like i did. So sad

[@Iga_Szym]

HIYAAA SO HAPPY YOU POSTED!!! LOVE YOU ❤❤

[@calleecagle4775]

It's always a good day when Kris posts!

[@noirhopesandreams3458]

this is one of the big reasons why I despise religion. It creates cults like this.i dont have a problem with anyones beliefs but as soon as it creates a system that abuses people i don't fuck with it

[@irelyndhenry1176]

That’s a gross overgeneralization of religion, and a very cynical view of the effects it has on people and groups. Theres been a lot of good brought about by religious groups, as well

[@marylange1221]

you should totally look into the Kingston clan aka the order. that one boggles my mind!

[@Samuel-ds3tp]

As someone who has been s*xually assaulted by a parent, it really does make you feel gross and dirty. And it's really hard to tell people because you're taught to love and trust this person your entire life. This is why I'm very proud of the victims in this story who came forward about SA.

[@CrazyMoonKid135]

The fact the tone of her voice a couple times sounded like she wanted to cry when she talked about the women 😢, but then talked about Jeff's and sounded like she wanted to beat him 😂

[@gabrielabaquero9269]

"Who is Tom? How old is Tom? I am 12!" Hilarious but sad hahahaha. Im crying og laughter and sadness at the same time. Crazy how cult leaders just exist and thrive so easily in modern times!

[@dishwasher1527]

I dated a woman who was set up to be his wife at one point. She was luckily able to avoid it herself. It's a crazy situation.
