Trust Me: The False Prophet

I don't usually post about irl things and projects I work on, but this one feels big enough that I want to share it here.

This docuseries that my twin sister made and I helped shoot is out today on Netflix. Starting in 2022, we began embedding with a breakaway sect of the polygamist FLDS group in Short Creek and went undercover with our old friend Christine and her husband to film and take down a sexual predator and self-proclaimed prophet who was sexually abusing underage girls (and his adult male and female followers, as well).

He is now serving 50 years in prison as the result of what all of these incredibly brave women did.

This story is so close to my heart and has meant so much to me, and my sister really poured her blood, sweat, tears, and money into this project over the last few years.

It feels extremely surreal to have this full story out there today for the world to see. I have so much more to say about it, to be honest, but I'll leave it at that for now.

Trailer is here, and the show itself is linked below.

CW: This documentary deals with extremely sensitive topics including sexual abuse of children.

Julia is one of the bravest women I have ever seen. And it moved me when she said that she understood that women are allowed to ask questions. After a lifetime of being taught not to question anything

Things like this never stops being heartbreaking.

i discovered Jaden Jeffs on tiktok maybe a couple of months ago, he's one of the many children of a Warren Jeffs and he has a podcast. i've had a few very short conversations with him just online but bc of that i know it's ok for me to stream his podcast without copyright strike LOL so i'm thinking of streaming this conversation he has with his sister Rachel (who also speaks very publicly against the FLDS) on youtube some time this week:

Everytime someone comes on this godforsaken website and talks about Mormons it is always the most uneducated, idiotic take I have ever seen that makes it 100% obvious that most of y'all have never interacted with a single Mormon much less know any in any significant way and that you view Mormons as this weird, occult, polygamist group that wears magic underwear.

If you don't know the difference between LDS and FLDS then respectfully, shut the hell up about Mormons because I am so tired of people saying that Mormons still practice polygamy. (There's so many weird things in Mormonism that still exist and y'all really chose the practice that they stopped doing 120 years ago??). Do you even know WHY Utah has so many Mormons? No? Then shut the hell up. Go do some damn research instead of spreading misinformation.

Also why do people on here act like the LDS Church is the fucking Westboro Baptist Church. Yeah they're a majority conservative group but they're about as wild as the Catholic Church is. I'm going to be honest, most Mormons don't give a shit about you or what you do with your life.

But who would I be to tell you to do research and not give you a starting point? So here. Watch this video. If you have any interest in Mormonism whatsoever go ahead and watch this video. (Genuinely it is an amazing and well researched video though).

And if you're a Christian who is constantly talking about how Mormons aren't Christians. Uh, A) nobody cares and B) shut the fuck up.
