Ladies and gentlemen, and whoever else is listening. Welcome back again to the show. This may be one of the most intriguing episodes in the last 5 years. Several months ago I interviewed author Charlene Paul, Episode 159, who wrote a book called Devotion Deliverance Deception, Keep Sweet - Pray and Obey, Isaac's Story about a young mans' life journey inside the FLDS Church and the world of polygamy and mind control. Today we have the subject of that book, Isaac Steed with us. Buckle up for a more in-depth look at what it was like growing up, and living a "happy normal childhood" inside the FLDS Church and the tightrope walking it took to survive under the total and absolute control of the then leader Warren Jeffs and what it was like to be banished in an instant for no apparent reason after literally devoting EVERYTHING to the group. #FLDSChurch #WarrenJeffs #ShortCreek #ColoradoCity #Hilldale #LostBoys #DevotionDeceptionDeliverance #Polygamy #ChildBrides #MasterDeceiver #KeepSweetPrayObey #KeepSweet #GodKnows #FollowTheProphet

**TW: CSA, Suicide, threats of murder** Born into the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS/Mormon), Briell was groomed at a very early age to one day become a plural wife to the prophet Warren Jeffs. Her parents wept when they found out the prophet's plans, but had no choice but to give her, at 18, to the over 50 year old man as his 65th wife. When Briell saw what Warren was doing with his 12 year old wives in Texas, she was mortified and resisted Warren's attention to which she would be severely punished for.

It's time to go Under Oath! This week we got to talk to investigative journalist, Mike Watkiss, all about his work on the FLDS Cult, his sky-high confrontation with Liz Taylor, and his work on the Michael Jackson case!
Warning! Today bubbles will be burst. In Part 1 I challenge the idea of self-sabotage. I invite you to consider how self-sabotage is actually a trauma response, and explain that defining our body's act of inertia as "sabotage", is discrediting its effort to keep us safe. I then use my journey with chronic dieting and eating disorders to illustrate this. In Part 2 I answer a listener's question about how to handle a friend who repeatedly crosses their boundaries and who doesn't make an effort. I use Gottman's relational theory of “bid's for connection”, my theory of “ladder of trust”, and Rosenberg's theory of nonviolent communication to contextualize their experience and provide possible solutions. In Part 3 Taylor joins me to discuss Episode 2 of Netflix' Keep Sweet, Pray and Obey.

The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was created as a more rigid interpretation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, more specifically to continue practicing polygamy after the LDS church stopped. Because there was never any structure within the FLDS, there have been battles for power since its inception, and the cult has always been rife with abuse and corruption. When Rulon Jeffs became the prophet and his son manipulated his way to the position at his death, the FLDS reached all-new levels of depravity. He was a lunatic regarded as the mouth of God, and the obedience of his followers was essential to their access to heaven. The entire cult is an example of the repeating cycles of abuse and a lesson that the only good cult is a Creep It Real cult.

When Rulon Jeffs prophet powers were (naturally) transferred to his son at the time of his death, the already maniacal man became an even bigger nightmare for the followers of FLDS than they had previously known. Using his "powers" he was able to convince them all to go along with ANYTHING, from forced child marriages to the possibility they would have to slice the throats of their wives if commanded. It's awful, but he gets what's coming to him and helps remind us all that they only good cult is a Creep It Real cult.

So as you know, you ain't getting into heaven unless you have at least three wives. Warren Jeffs took that to heart marrying between 50 to 80 women, many of these "women" being actually 12-year-old girls. He was the Prophet, the voice of God so parents willingly gave their children to this sociopathic sexual deviant. In ep. 72 of Strange Country, Beth and Kelly get back into the wine and cringe while they recount his awful deeds. Remember: "One hole is not enough!"

The themes drawn between these two stories are spooky. We examine the psychological similarities & blur the lines. Is truth stranger than fiction? How is it that Warren Jeffs still hold so much power over his followers, even from behind prison bars?

The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Rachel Jeffs, Author of BREAKING FREE. As Warren Jeffs, leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS), serves a sentence of life plus 20 years in a federal penitentiary in Texas for child sexual assault, he still has an iron grip on the notorious polygamous cult. With seventy-eight wives and fifty-three children, the self-proclaimed prophet's control of FLDS extends wide and deep, and many of his followers remain silent about his shocking transgressions. Rachel Jeffs, one of his many daughters, is not among them. In a courageous personal memoir of resilience and redemption, BREAKING FREE: How I Escaped Polygamy, the FLDS Cult, and my Father, Warren Jeffs (Harper; on sale November 14, 2017; $27.99), Rachel chronicles the shocking details her singular life, from her insular childhood to her eventual liberation, for the first time revealing the facts about her father's sexual abuse, which began when she was eight years old. “The most important rule in the FLDS religion is this: Never question the Prophet,” Rachel writes with the hindsight and strength of a survivor. Since that self-appointed prophet was her father, Rachel grew up not questioning the unconventional daily realities she lived or the personal ordeals to which she was subjected. Her closest sister was also her cousin, their mothers sisters. Living in rural poverty, often with little to eat, the children were raised through indoctrination and humiliation. Rachel was singled out by her father for “special time” in his office that led to years of sexual abuse. When she revealed what was going on to her mother, nothing changed.
