Inside Utah's Secret Polygamist Family - Life With Six Wives and 26 Kids Step inside the secret world of Utah polygamists as Tom Green and his six wives share their lives, beliefs, and challenges in a remote desert community. This revealing documentary delves into the daily realities of polygamy in modern America, focusing on the Green family who openly practice fundamentalist Mormon plural marriage despite its illegality in Utah. Hear firsthand from Tom, his wives, and their many children about their unconventional relationships, their faith-driven motivations, and the logistical, emotional, and legal complexities they face. From managing dozens of children and makeshift homes to navigating jealousy and community judgment, the Greens offer a rare, intimate look at life inside a polygamist family. The video covers topics such as the origins and religious significance of polygamy, early and arranged marriages, the roles of women in choosing their husbands, and the efforts to create a supportive family structure in a hostile legal climate. Viewers will also witness how the family copes with tragedy, poverty, and the constant threat of legal action, while striving to maintain their beliefs and provide for their children. If you’re curious about fundamentalist Mormonism, plural marriage, or the human stories behind controversial lifestyles, this documentary provides an unfiltered perspective on a hidden American subculture. #Polygamy #UtahPolygamists #FundamentalistMormon #PluralMarriage #FamilyDocumentary #ReligionAndSociety #Bigamy #AmericanSubcultures

Amanda Rae: Inside the Cult That Used Kids as Income Sources Support me by reading my latest substack here: https://jadenjeffs.substack.com/p/the-red-cliffs-a-12-year-old-bride?r=4v30mc Jaden Jeffs (ex-FLDS) and Amanda Rae (ex-Kingston/“the Order”) discuss how their groups used control, forced labor, and shame to suppress individuality, empathy, and mental health, including dissociation, overanalyzing, and fear of “losing your mind.” They compare polygamy and incest normalization, describe how leaving can make early relationships unhealthy, and talk about reconnecting with the body through yoga, neurofeedback, and somatic healing. Amanda explains Kingston financial practices such as underage kids paying rent, pooled family accounts, and leadership control of members’ money, plus alleged fraud and “bleeding the beast” tactics to take government funds. They explore how denial and inability to process extreme abuse lets systems persist, reference Epstein-related discourse, and debate whether billionaires can have empathy and how power avoids accountability. 00:51 Podcast Intro and Guests 01:24 Healing After Cult Life 03:26 Overthinking and Neurofeedback 05:52 Dissociation and Reclaiming Self 08:04 Incest Normalized in Groups 10:38 Dating After Leaving 12:37 Cults Outside the Cult 15:34 Finding Home After Exit 17:42 Body Shame and Somatic Work 20:30 Men and Emotional Repression 23:55 Cruelty Learned in Childhood 30:21 Money Control and Slave Labor 32:06 Kingston Economy and Fraud 42:14 Power, Greed, and No Empathy 46:48 Favoritism and Control 47:20 Defining Religious Psychosis 49:02 Schizophrenia in a Bubble 50:39 Pedestals and Cult Loyalty 55:21 Depression as Sin 58:00 Neglect and Disability Stories 59:51 Mormon Roots and FLDS History 01:05:16 Money Systems and Cult Economics 01:11:01 Misunderstanding the Order 01:14:07 Epstein Files and Reality Shock 01:20:25 Can Power Be Stopped 01:22:20 Billionaires and Corruption 01:27:54 Playing Dirty to Win 01:29:38 Community and Closing Thanks 👇**SHOP MERCH HERE FROM JADEN** [fromjaden.com](http://fromjaden.com) 👇 **FOLLOW + SUPPORT THE PODCAST** Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3GHUWDyJ5ZJ0QzVu8EihBH?si=hpDUxgqMR9CIkwei0Ghiew 🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-jaden-jeffs-podcast/id1795576157 ✉️ Newsletter (Substack): https://jadenjeffs.substack.com/ 👇 **MY Website** JadenJeffs.com 👇 **SOCIALS** Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/realjadenjeffs?igsh=cm9ybmY1dzk1dmNp&utm_source=qr TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jadenjeffs100?_r=1&_t=ZP-91rDt1rkLz5 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1BtYdgFoS5/?mibextid=wwXIfr 👇 **WATCH NEXT** ➡️ Most Popular Videos: https://youtu.be/I-gZtaxMv9w https://youtu.be/3WIYe15Osts https://youtu.be/rNKg83fMuN4 ➡️ Podcast Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLk3w3VkHlWzRgsNC_wNeOBxa0AEBnpsCz&si=izu5YMpxghxqO13m 👇 **BUSINESS** 📩 Contact: heyjadenjeffs@gmail.com Buy me a Coffee via Venmo ❤️ https://venmo.com/u/fitoj

Confronting My Polygamous Cult at a Funeral (ft. @TheAmandaRaeGrant) Escaping a cult and finding peace on the outside is one thing, but what happens when you feel obligated or even required to go back into the same environment that h*rmed you for so long? Amanda Rae was born and raised in The Order, a polygamous offshoot of Mormonism known for its incestuous marriages. Barely an adult, she escaped and made it her mission to expose the Order while helping other members find their way out. However, a death in the family lead her back into the belly of the beast, where she had been shunned and cut off, forced to face the people and places that left physical and emotional scars.

Can You Be Happy in a Polygamous Cult? ft. @CultstoConsciousness Is it possible to be truly happy in a polygamous cult? A built in community, safety in standards and salvation in following strict rules. Or is it all a facade that tricks the mind into missing crucial signs of depression, ab*se and coercion? Today we dive into the nuance and complexity of emotions in and outside of cults with Shelise Ann Sola from @CultstoConsciousness Tomorrow, we will go live on Cults to Consciousness to further the conversation about being thrown back into the fire when needing to return to the cult for the death of a family member.

Update on the Shen Yun lawsuit: This week NPR wrote about the lawsuit that was filed in NY by 2 dancers. The suit alleges child labor and the article states that “The suit was filed last month in a federal district court in New York on behalf of Sun Zan, 32, and Cheng Qing Ling, 28. In a recent interview with NPR, Sun and Cheng said they felt isolated from their families, too afraid to speak up and endured both physical and psychological harm. To this day, they said they are recovering from the physical and emotional toll of their childhood.” A comment in the Cults subreddit touches on an important issue for people leaving high demand groups: how to learn to think for yourself. The poster notes that “I am unable to think for myself, make decisions, lack critical thinking and make choices and answer simple questions.” Decade of deconstruction Lots of people are going through similar things, and the Knitting Cult Community is a great place to interact with people who are going through it too. It looks different from everyone. Germany bans 'Kingdom of Germany’ movement On May 13, 2025, the German government banned the “Kingdom of Germany” (KRD), a major faction of the far-right Reichsburger movement. The group, led by self-styled “Peter I” (Peter Fitzek), aimed to establish a counter-state with its own institutions, rejecting Germany’s legitimacy. Authorities cited the group’s antisemitic conspiracy theories and criminal economic activities as threats to the democratic order. Lifetime's 'The Thirteenth Wife' Explores Polygamous Cult Escape Lifetime's upcoming two-part movie, "The Thirteenth Wife: Escaping Polygamy," premieres on May 31 and June 1. The film stars Felicity Huffman as Rena Chynoweth, recounting her life as a former wife of manipulative polygamous cult leader Ervil LeBaron. The narrative delves into the psychological toll of her indoctrination and escape, highlighting the resilience required to break free from such oppressive situations.

Polygamy, Incest & Reality TV: Amanda Rae Breaks the Silence (Part 2) This episode is sponsored in part by Betterhelp. In Part 2 of our conversation with Amanda Rae, we pick up right where we left off—so if you haven’t heard Part 1 yet, go back and listen first. In this episode, Amanda shares the final breaking point that led her to leave the Kingston Clan, also known as The Order, and the harrowing events surrounding her dramatic escape at just 17. We dive into the emotional toll of indoctrination, the long process of deconstructing belief systems, and what it takes to rebuild an identity after growing up in a high-control religious group. Amanda speaks candidly about self-awareness, survivor’s guilt, family estrangement, and the dark side of reality TV—including her experience on Escaping Polygamy and the exploitation survivors faced behind the scenes. This episode is a raw, deeply moving reminder of the resilience it takes to not only survive—but to speak out. Amanda’s story continues to empower others seeking freedom, healing, and the courage to trust themselves. If you’re in a high-control group and looking for support, Holding Out Help (https://holdingouthelp.org) offers free assistance to those trying to leave. And if you want to hear more from Amanda, including firsthand accounts from others who’ve left The Order, check out her YouTube channel: @TheAmandaRaeGrant (https://www.youtube.com/@TheAmandaRaeGrant) .

Polygamy, Incest & Reality TV: Amanda Rae Breaks the Silence (Part 1) This episode is sponsored in part by Betterhelp. In this week’s episode, we chat with Amanda Rae, survivor of the infamous Kingston clan, a radical Mormon sect also known as “The Order.” If you’ve seen Escaping Polygamy on A&E, you might recognize Amanda from the show, where she helped others flee the same secretive and abusive group she escaped at just 17. Amanda shares what it was like growing up in a world built on polygamy, incest, and “pure bloodlines”—including the pressure to marry her cousin, her father’s multiple incestuous marriages, and the cult’s obsession with racial purity. She walks us through the shocking inner workings of the Kingston clan: secret banks, isolation tactics, assigned marriages, and the terrifying consequences of trying to leave. This is the first half of Amanda’s harrowing story of survival, recovery, and advocacy. Stay tuned for Part 2 later this week.
