Скачать или смотреть “Shiny Happy People” Cult VS the FLDS (STRIKING Similarities) ft.

*Content Warning: various mentions of CA* Upon watching the Shiny Happy People documentary, I realized they essentially had all the same rules as the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints group (FLDS) aside from practicing polygamy. Joined by Sam and Melissa from ‪@GrowingUpinPolygamy‬ , we dissect all the ways the IBLP (Institute in Basic Life Principles) mirror the FLDS.
