Alright folks, gather 'round for this hell-raising Fringey Mini. This week, we're diving headfirst into a story that's less “Touched by an Angel” and more “Touched by Something That Needs an Exorcism, Stat.”We're talking about the not-so-holy crossover between Latter-day Saint doctrine and demonic possession—yep, demons are apparently freeloading in Utah basements now. From Ruby Franke's cayenne-spiced parenting tips (hot take, literally) to Lori Vallow Daybell's poolside apocalypse book club, things are getting possessively weird.We'll explore how this doctrine is leading to some seriously unholy behavior—like bishops doing bootleg exorcisms, and parents believing the only way to save their kids is to murder them. Not exactly what Jesus had in mind when he said, “Let the children come to me,” huh?Anyway, what do you guys think about JD Vance probably killing the pope?Like, follow, and share if you also think shaking hands with demons should be a bigger red flag.
