I grew up in Southeastern Idaho and a very Mormon influenced Community.. It wasn't until I was older and broaden my horizons and spiritual teachings that I found I didn't agree with the Mormon religion.. I never agreed with the teachings of Joseph Smith and because of me the missionaries quit coming to my family home until I left the area.. I wish there was some way that I can contribute to the cause and help these women.. I'm just very thankful that this is finally being brought to light..

I just love this show, i didn't realise that these people werr so powerful, it's pretty messed up how they treat woman and children and i enjoy seeing them get away from "the order " anf the other much worse group.

I love what these people are doing for others. I am disappointed I have to pay something to see this when I don't make enough to justify paying for any kind of tv service when I can get it for free. I literally can't even see the shows from last spring of 2019 because of this. I get up at 4am and yet I was GLUED to these programs. It altered my prayers for them.
