Growing Up In Polygamy

• Small Cult, Big Control: The Dark Truth Behind Angel's Landing | Reaction

  In this video, we’re reacting to "How I Escaped My Cult" Episode 2, which covers the chilling story of Angel's Landing. Unlike many cult leaders who seek massive followings, this leader kept his group small — using manipulation and control for financial gain through life insurance scams. As ex-members of high-demand religions, we couldn’t help but draw comparisons. How does this kind of manipulation differ from what we experienced? Or does it? Join us as we break it all down and share our thoughts.🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more reactions and discussions on cults, religion, and personal experiences.#AngelsLanding #HowIEscapedMyCult #TrueCrime #CultSurvivor #ReligiousTrauma #Manipulation #HighDemandReligion #ExMormon #FLDS #SurvivingCults #TrueCrimeReaction #CultDocumentary #LifeAfterCults #SamAndMelissaChapters:00:00:00 Inside "How I Escaped My Cult": The Angels Landing Episode 00:02:52 The Art of Manipulation by Cult Leaders00:05:29 Manipulation Tactics and Sarah’s Move to Kansas00:08:27 Manipulation and Abuse in a Cult Environment00:11:27 Unraveling a Mysterious Financial Trail00:14:07 Prophetic Predictions and Mysterious Deaths 00:16:46 Breaking Free from Manipulative Control00:19:43 The Case Against Danny Perez: Identity Change and Escape to Mexico00:22:36 Manipulating Money with Life Insurance Fraud00:25:23 Expressing Gratitude and SupportJoin our NEW Patreon HERE: https://patreon.com/growingupinpolygamyIf you or someone you love has left polygamy and needs assistance, please reach out to "Holding Out HELP" at 801-548-3492 or visit their website at www.holdingouthelp.orgAt Growing Up In Polygamy our mission is to "Create compassion for communities that have been misunderstood, marginalized and/or abused by their leaders, and to empower those who have left by giving them a platform to share their stories with the world."If you would like to DONATE to this cause you can do so here: https://donorbox.org/growing-up-in-polygamyInsta: @growingupinpolygamyNew website is now up! www.growingupinpolygamy.comTheme Song created by @artcowles Please feel free to reach out to [email protected]✅SUBSCRIBE NOW : https://shorturl.at/inqrE

• Cult Leaders Exposed: The Shocking Parallels Between Tony Alamo & Warren Jeffs

  Tony Alamo and Warren Jeffs—two self-proclaimed prophets who built their empires on fear, control, and manipulation. In this video, we react to How I Escaped My Cult: Tony Alamo and break down the disturbing similarities between Alamo’s group and the FLDS under Jeffs. From isolating their followers to taking child brides, both men used their so-called divine authority to justify unthinkable abuses. How did they gain so much power? And what can we learn from the survivors who escaped?

• Reacting to How I Escaped My Cult: The FLDS is Bigger Than They Say

  In this video, we react to How I Left My Cult and its episode on the FLDS and Yearning for Zion Ranch. The documentary does a great job covering Warren Jeffs’ rise to power and the experiences of his 8th wife and her son, but one thing stood out to us—how it makes it seem like the FLDS is down to just a “handful” of people. The truth is, the FLDS is still thousands strong. Join us as we break down what the show got right, what it missed, and what’s really happening with the FLDS today. #FLDS #WarrenJeffs #HowILeftMyCult #ExMormon #cultsurvivor Chapters: 00:00:00 FLDS History and Warren Jeffs' Impact 00:02:45 Exploring Different Perspectives: Vicky and Wendell's Stories 00:05:30 Polygamy Beliefs in FLDS vs. LDS 00:08:20 Warren Jeffs' Capture and the Impact on FLDS Members 00:11:27 Leaving the Church: Family and Emotional Impact 00:14:50 The Impact of CPS Raids on FLDS Families 00:17:51 Ranch Raid Revelations 00:20:39 Leaving the Ranch: Vicki and Wendell's Journey 00:23:45 The Enduring Influence of Warren Jeffs Get your tickets to the Holding Out Help Gala HERE: https://event.auctria.com/3081aa38-737b-436c-9dfb-6c934233a243/ Join our NEW Patreon HERE: https://patreon.com/growingupinpolygamy If you or someone you love has left polygamy and needs assistance, please reach out to "Holding Out HELP" at 801-548-3492 or visit their website at www.holdingouthelp.org At Growing Up In Polygamy our mission is to "Create compassion for communities that have been misunderstood, marginalized and/or abused by their leaders, and to empower those who have left by giving them a platform to share their stories with the world."
