Colorado City and the Underground Railroad pt.1 reported by Mike Watkiss

[GABRIELJACMEL]

Number one ONLY WHITE PEOPLE DO STUFF LIKE THIS, IN UNITED STATES. NOT BEING RACIST JUST KEEPING IT REAL.

[OfftoShambala]

@GABRIELJACMEL it's just as bad or worse outside of the U.S. amongst non whites... Africa is particularly plagued with stomach churning social/sex/group control issues ... however, I see your point, because all the cults that I've researched in the U.S. involve mostly people of the white race ... but, I think if you want to keep it real, it's important to acknowledge what's going on globally and this really does not have anything to do with race, but rather the weakness & nature of humanity

[Perfectserious]

How many brothers and sisters you have? 56 LOL

[guayacan07]

@al5mnd9trnksdr745bi: So many things that need to be addressed around the world but shouldn't we tackle our problems first before we go help somebody else?

[guayacan07]

it's been said Colorado City has the highest % rate in the WORLD of retarded kids , deformation and a rare disease. Read it somewhere, would like confirmation on this, doctors blame it on INCEST.

[TheJimmyo23]

a dutch tv show called '3 op reis' where also in colorado city and they felt fucked up by the people in colorado city

[TaleiDiravuVarani]

What the heck? hahaha those old men are crazy as hell! Thats not religion fool...... THATS SEXUAL EXPLOITATION! crazy bastards! I feel sorry for these people... don't know what the hell they doing! God bless them! Amen.

[legolasisthebest]

G-d please protect these women and children.

[carolLDickinson]

Horny UNGODLY men! Unless they repent ... setting these women free... and stop sinning... they will NOT enter the Kingdom of God! REPENT YOU DIRTY OLD MEN!!! REPENT!

[barefoot537]

yes there is freedom in America but this is overdoing it

[marlley08]

Good video but the AHHH AHHHA HHHHAA is a little much :)

[Phalanx3800]

5 people are crazy fuck Mormons.

[faeryquene]

Thank you so very much for posting this. It makes me so angry that this is allowed to go on in the United States. The thugs running Colorado City, from 'law enforcement' on down should all be de-certified and prosecuted for abusing their power. Also, I wish the documentarians wouldn't identify exactly the areas of the 'safe houses'.

[NOSERPICOINUTAH]

IS IT TRUE THAT THE WHOLE STATE OF TEXAS HAS BEEN IN DROUGHT SINCE TRANSFERRING WARREN JEFFS TO TEXAS PRISON????HOW MANY PARENTS HAVE SEXUALLY ACTIVE, UNMARRIED 14 YEAR OLDS? WHAT HAVE ANY OF US DONE ABOUT THE BABIES UNDER 14 WHO ARE BEING USED FOR PROSTITUTION AND PORN? UTAH CODE STATES MARRIAGE..14 WITH CONSENT OF PARENT...WE ARE ALL CALLED OUT OF BABYLON...WHO HEARD THE VOICE OF GOD? WAS J.F.K. MURDERED IN TEXAS?

[trufuknplaya]

@NOSERPICOINUTAH let me tell you how i feel buddy, you go square ta hell

[alicecolleenflynn]

5 perverts clicked dislike

[MrGoTWO2]

56 brothers and sisters....

[levierdragon]

I wonder what would happen if an asian guy decides to walk into this city. Would they beat the shit out of him? Looks like a bunch of white supremists to me.

[MrGoTWO2]

@levierdragon Hey levierdragon, im black so according to Jeffs I'm the devil!

[jfrencher]

These men (I can't say for sure that it's all of them) are perverts! Anyone who sexually molests a child should be castrated.

[IExposeMormonism]

In Mormonism women have fewer rights than blacks had after the emancipation declaration. Women have had no emancipation even today or this would not continue. The US Fed Gov't knows good and well what Mormonism is up to and it has done nothing. I'm fully aware of the hard work of RN Baskin and Edmunds but these did not address the illegality and immorality of Mormonism and its perverse polygamy. Those laws address "Co-Hab". Why? I'm not sure, but I have an idea, which I wont get into here.

[mattholt252]

@IExposeMormonism you obviously dont know anything about mormonism...mormons dont practice polygamy. it is the FLDS church that practices polygamy. nice try though...

[mattholt252]

@IExposeMormonism you obviously dont know anything about mormonism...mormons dont practice polygamy. it is the FLDS church that practices polygamy. nice try though...

[IExposeMormonism]

@mattholt252 Oh, gee, thanks there, big guy. You're a help. I probably misspelled Baskn and Edwards too.

[thebuzz2010]

how many brothers and sisters have you? 56 lmfao

[amyleoness]

I just read "Church of Lies" By Flora Jessop, and honestly it is one of the best books I have ever read in my life. Gripping, grueling, honest, confrontational and emotional.

[anabanana997]

What makes my MAD is that my cousin HAILEY DUNN IS MISSING FROM COLORADO CITY right now she could be a victim of polygamy or someone could have sold her for all I know THIS IS SICK SOME PEOPLE JUST NEED TO DIE BECAUSE OF THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GoddessMoney]

@anabanana997 I am so sorry to hear your cousin is missing there. I will say some prayers for her safe return

[allayna82]

@anabanana997 I share your same thought on Hailey as well. I always had a feeling ever since I started watching Hailey's case on Nancy Grace that she was possibly forced into a polygamy group or something of that nature. I think Hailey's still alive and I hope to God she comes home to her family soon. Anyone that would sexually harm a 13 year old young girl or any age girl for that matter should be shot on site.

[hope4kidz]

Jessie's book, Church of LIES, gives an insight into the criminal acts of the adult FLDS, who tried so hard to control her and her spirit to live and to survive, even overcoming the abuse she had known throughout her life, reflects an amazing HERO. She is the tiniest little thing but when she puts on her leather and packs heat, get out of her way because she is ready to fight for the right of children to be children!~ Go to helpthechildbrides(dot)com ~ Love you Jessie!!!

[48alfaone]

The F--king Assholes raping little girls and then hiding behind some Bullshit religion should be dragged out and Jailed for 30 Plus Years, "Period"! Come on folks its 2011, Not F--king 941? This is Total Crime & Mental Illness in Plain Sight, "Period"!! Were standing by and watching Rape & Human Rights Violated here in Plain Sight, "Wake Up Government"!! Fuck Your Shit Religion, and Fuck You! :-)

[48alfaone]

"Religion = Mental Illness & Madness, Period"!! Wake Up Folks its 2011, not 925. Maybe 1000 years from now Harry Potter will be a religion / god? The Bible, Curan & Harry Potter all have magic story's with talking snakes, talking bushes, flying people and parting oceans! Yes, Story's & Tall Tales Written By "Humans", Not Gods! Science is provable & real, religion is just about abuse, power, control and a money grab! Believe In Provable Science, Freedom, Civil & Human Rights, Not Bullshit :-)

[playwithjustice]

I wish Obama would just send a army of soldiers and close tat place! nobody should be treated like tat! It's horrible to lost your freedom. Only God can control our every aspect. Somebody please just get rid of mormorism from the world.

[Nightshift10000]

Ahhh MORmORism, isn't it just horrible?

[citizen772]

More than anything else, I am disgusted with the one-sided, sensationalistic, tabloid-style reporting in this so-called documentary. It reminds me of Soviet propaganda against certain Christian sects, including Baptists and Pentecostals.

[playwithjustice]

@citizen772 are u mormorism follower? coz if u r u sucks!

[akissy]

@citizen772 Nice way to go, creating an account and posting just this comment. XD

[mompm]

forget the polygamy part. I don't care if consending adults choose to live polygamy , but the abuse and control of women here is criminal- why the hell does it not get taken down as a cult? oh yeah religion- the disease of religion being respected- that is the core of what lets this happen

[najami12]

Google "Dr. Lewis Steiner" and see how blacks fought in the Confederacy Army's ranks!

[sularjuper]

and this is happening here, in America.. The Land of the free, and yet there's NO freedom with those girls.. its too bad! :'(

[jboydsweet]

Too bad they can't secretly slip those girls a Mirena and send them back until they're 18 and can legally run away.

[antsinyourpantz1]

HOW THE HELLL DO THESE DUMB FUCKS AFFORD THAT MANY KIDS!?

[akissy]

@antsinyourpantz1 They're on welfare, since the women are legally single mothers. It's called "bleeding the beast".

[MattHatter]

You FLDS men are absolutely the LOWEST OF THE LOW! Absolute TRASH! You power crazed scumbags with your big, tough, manly-man facade. When you stand before God you're gonna be crying like the scared children you sexually abused. You won't admit to what's going on.....you're all in competition for the "priesthood." You're gonna get to heaven and God's going to point you to the lake of fire! BETTER GET IT RIGHT WHILE YOU'RE STILL ON EARTH!

[rodrick690]

Are there other polygamous cults like this one??

[chaotickittie03]

This sickens me so fucking much. Its as if they're fucking animals raised in a farm, in order to be pregnant and start the cycle again. I can't believe the autorities protect those pigs. Here's one more proof that the States are fucked up.

[jendeh1000]

"If I were a younger man I would take a` flame-thrower to that place

[Shebaqueenof]

Amazing how we are everywhere in the world saving women ( a good goal by the way) but doing nothing about this problem. Not with any skill or fortitude anyway.

[MondoBeno]

"Rescuing" people from a cult is not like rescuing a "bound-and-gagged" captive. The "victims" are brainwashed and are taught to distrust outsiders.

There are Hassidic Jews in the same trap. They're in a horrible life, but don't have any idea how to live outside of the community. These teenage girls aren't going to run to the nearest state trooper and say "help, my father's forcing me to have sex with older men!"

[mbenson2790]

city with one of the highest rate of birth defects.... i wonder why.....

[SmitHolm]

I need someone to publish my story. You can have all the money, I'll hide my name. I need it published. I was born and raised in colorado city and I have a different take on it. Is there anyone out there that wants to make a few million off me?

[bsl103158]

nope-flds is NOT "just as much a part of America as everyone else"-anyone, or any group that refuses to abide by the laws of the land as a perpetual lifestyle is NOT just another part of American life. It is an open,hostile challenge to law,order,decency, and basic human rights that cannot be tolerated any longer.

[IExposeMormonism]

@bsl103158 That sums up Mormonism from its foundation to its apex. Mormonism is like "Rosemary's Baby" run amuk.

[MondoBeno]

I've seen this problem with similar religious sects; Hasidic Jews, Muslim communities, etc.

The people are part of a cult, and they're well-financed with high-priced lawyers. The authorities tread lightly because they're afraid to "trample" on people's religious beliefs.

[yungnome]

Colorado City isnt the only FLDS town, there is one in canada, and one in mexico, that i know of. dont remember the names though. for anyone who likes to read, check out "Under the Banner of Heaven" by Jon Krakaur. Its about the Lafferty bros, who are fundamentalists, that killed their brother's wife and daughter because of a removal revelation sent by god. then it goes into the murderous history mormonism. Bring 'Em Young!

[MultiHannah1995]

That was an excellent book. Unbelievable the mind control these leaders have over the people. So very sad.

[biohazzarddiva]

May God bless you Flora and Penny in everything you do. Never give up and always stand up for the innocent.

[awolLDSasap]

People today are more civil. Joseph Smith and the boys were killed and run out of town for the same thing.

[IExposeMormonism]

Food Stamps. The people of the USA must pay for this. it is all illegal. And the the people pay for it. This was true in 1857. and today. And it isn't prosecuted. Warren Jeffs isn't a prosecution of this issue. Ask yourself why the USA has never prosecuted the mormon polygamy revelation. It stands intact. and unaltered by the mormon hierarchy.

[peapodgrrl]

Okay, I see. So then all these people are liars? Or is it possible that your experiences were different?

[peapodgrrl]

That's pretty vague.

[peapodgrrl]

Why? You have something against someone helping people being held against their will?

Despise personal choice?

[intsiken]

this story breaks my heart!

[mathmexican4234]

If something is gunna drive the human race to extinction it will be religious nuts.

[MondoBeno]

For each man to have multiple wives, there would have to be fewer men.

When the authorities raided the YFZ Ranch, they found teenage girls who were pregnant and would reveal who the fathers were. That should be reason enough to think they were married to older men.

[ExmormonFoundation]

I'm sorry dear Gerualt, it is you who needs to research. They claim the same doctrines, read the same scriptures etc. as established by their founder, Joseph Smith. There are over 100 different groups claiming the Mormon title, not just the Brighamites of SLC.

mormon think d o t c o m is a great place to start in your investigative adventures.

All the best in your continued studies! -EMF

[dasnasdi]

If you had done any decent research then you would know that they are as bad as the mainstream LDS Church, if not worse, in adding to what JS taught, and in disregarding that which does not suit their purposes.

[ExmormonFoundation]

And it all started with the bastard Joseph Smith.

For those Mormons who see this, this is your religion as it was once practiced, and the doctrine is still accepted, it was never disavowed.

The whole fraud is not what it claims to be.

[peapodgrrl]

Flora Jessup = hero. Hero. Hero.

[boardman990]

.

"They want to control every aspect of a persons life."

hmm ... sounds like the Federal Government!

.

[Leahbarlow18]

Haha Nice! I see these guys everyday!

[WickedGravityVideo]

hey, they say that their deity instructs them to do this, so who are you, as a fellow believer in the supernatural, to dispute them? All belief in the supernatural is dysfunctional and a psychological illness --- should be recognized by AMA as a disease. Get real, people

[algebra123us]

This is not a cult. This what happens when religion gets to much power,

[cruwysgirl]

This is 100% a cult....they use fear and false teaches to scare them into obeying. If there was a god and he loved you so much then why would he send you to burn in hell?

[RPM11111]

Yep - Sure thing! The secular world is without such evils, right?

I think you mean, this is what happens when evil men start religions and run them to gain power.

This has nothing to do with Christianity.

[thoughtinebriated]

Christianity is just as ridiculous. I mean a three part god that listens to everyone, talks about men in big fish and a senior citizen rounding up a bunch of animals and getting on a huge boat, and hates gays, come on, santa clause is more believable and far more moral.

[peapodgrrl]

I am not a Christian, nor do I deem the Christian church perfect, but the comparison simply doesn't hold. What we are seeing here with *certain fundamental sects* of Mormonism is a cult where people are denied freedom of choice--and that goes for both sexes, not just women, (ie, the lost boys) although the crimes against women and young girls are particularly appalling and frightening.

[roughdufle]

this world would be lovier.if the truth was truly known ''''''part of last post.

[jrberman]

Excellent documentary which puts a human face on the bizarre world of plural marriage.

Good job Mike.

[spacemomma23]

thats funny i have been there a couple times to see a exs family,gardner and the whites i always new that there was something really differnt with that place but they seemed nice enuff, just really controlled and sheltered from reailty

[petekosednar]

Nice job Mike on work with this project. Thanks for sharing this with the worldwide YouTube audience.
