[meshlife]

amazing documentary

[xtremefly2000]

wow they look imbred......all of them

[eyeswideopen1993]

Why are the courts repeatedly awarding custody to these men? One reason corruption. Many so called mainstream Mormons holding public offices are also polygamists. Yes, there are polygamist mainstream Mormons. Most of them will deny it. However, my cousin was a member of the LDS and he saw it all the time.

[MsPollywogg]

@eyeswideopen1993 wow... i did not think the LDS was allowing for this, even under wraps, but I've been finding more and more instances where this is accepted by the mainstream LDS... i've always wondered why the LDS weren't more interested in social action to stop what the FLDS is doing... i guess there is an underlying belief that it's OK and they are more interested in reaching out to the world through their missionary work than worrying about these offshoots that were born of them

[StageSingers]

@MsPollywogg

Definitely NOT ACCEPTED by the mainstream LDS church. Saying this is good for the LDS is like saying the Catholic pedophile priest scandal was good for the Anglican church. I've lived in Utah since 1994&until I read Carolyn Jessop's book I thought the worst thing about the FLDS is that you had to marry young&share your husband. Regular LDS are as clueless as anyone outside the Utah/Arizona area&even then it was always assumed they were good quiet people like the Amish.

[MsPollywogg]

@StageSingers I've been conversing with a pro polygamous person here who implied something about Mormon polygamy, however my close Mormon friends concur with your statement. I grew up in Flagstaff & the kids used to talk about all the scary stuff going on in Colorado City, used to freak me out. Then I met Flora Jessop 20 years ago & heard her story & it was what I heard as a child growing up. I just don't see why the Utah side is not doing more to stop their actions... I'm willing to help.

[ColoradoGal19]

@MsPollywogg There are 2 sides to polygamy. There is the FLDS side of horror, forced marriage, rape and so much more. Then there is AUB (I believe is the correct one) beliefs of Mormon, like Kody Brown on Sister Wives. Their marriage(s) are loving and consensual, oh and all parties are of age and NOT related! Polygamists like Kody Brown and his 4 wives, I will stand behind because it is out of love, you can totally love more than one person! However, Warren Jeffs and the FLDS, HAH! not at all.

[MsDani5150]

Thank God for Flora Jessop and others like her.

[KryptikCode]

Excellent reporting!

[pcollenYT]

The guy in the SUV is Willie R. Jessop, a former body guard to the FLDS "prophet" and said to be one of the most powerful men in the Texas compound. He is also known as Thug Willie, Big Willie, and was sort of Warren Jeffs' bouncer and enforcer.

Jeffs' FLDS was organized in a typical mafia fashion, although using religious titles such as bishop, apostle, and prophet instead of Capofamiglia, sotto capo, etc.

[faeryquene]

@pcollenYT Now chubby Willie is on tv practically every day pretending like he didn't know what was going on with Warren Jeffs and his child victims. He's known for damn sure all along. He sees the writing on the wall and the hypocrite is now trying to save his own skin. I hope if they head to Mexico the Mexicans give them some "Mexican' style justice including cutting their heads off ala the cartels!

[Alvord1430]

These clean-cut looking FLDS men are just low-life welfare freeloaders. They don't have the earning potential to properly provide for their huge families. As a result, they rely on the charity of hard working U.S. taxpayers to support their families. They are men of poor character and a poor excuse for fathers.

[SpaceCraftONBOARD]

lol this is fucked up stuff

[lucy9359]

thumps up to all the people who exsposed this I am crying...I live in Canada where they are arguing to legalize this right now...I am someone who decided to stand up and fight back...if your Canadain google the petitions on line and sign them....

[pepperfaust]

I love those Phoenix police!

[mardukgoose]

The mullet has really taken off in Colorado City!

[Ghostbead]

Note neck bruises on interviewed girl.

[bjnboy]

I don't care if it ends like Waco, bring in the damn National Guard to get rid of this cult!

[msmary126]

Thank you making this video Mike. I wish I could help free some of these women from their horrible lives!

[SmitHolm]

I was from there. The woman in this video is my aunt. Her oldest daughter was in school with me. I was pulled from school 2 months into 4th grade. Luckily LuAnn was able to finish. I think. As far as Val Jessop goes, he's not the bad guy, he eventually died of a heart attack in 2009 at the age of 50. I think from stress. He had to drive from colorado city to Phoenix az a few times a month. He was a broken man, dont forget, Val Jessops other wife who is Lareen's sister, still lives at the cult.

[Foxylady9957]

That Laurene Jessop is the youngest looking 46 year old I've ever seen.

[llandod77]

but these things are still going on in colorado city today why?

[vcomp1960]

Ask a mormon!

[ieden5432]

@vcomp1960 ask what?

[vcomp1960]

@ieden5432 I don't know. That's what the mormons always say!

[ieden5432]

@vcomp1960 wait what do u mean

[SmitHolm]

@llandod77 Why because the FLDS are the smartest master manipulators in the United States, possibly the world. They hide behind their brainwashed children, and when confronted, use fear and intimidation and these 2 lines "No comment" and "Religious Pursecution". I grew up there and I want to see the entire city fixed or destroyed within my lifetime.

[MattHatter]

@SmitHolm: I love your last statement. I've just finished Flora's book "Church Of Lies" and all these names are now coming to life before my eyes. It almost makes me want to help in some way. I feel so sad and sickened that this is going on in my own country.

[Alvord1430]

@SmitHolm They do know how to work the system. They are more like a bunch of scam artists than a religion. I was there recently. It looks like there is more development in the area and the FLDS might not be able to remain as isolated as in the past.  They won't go to Mexico because there is no public welfare system to scam there.

[thuggie1]

god bless those police officers

Mike
