12: SICKENING! 9 Year Old Wives, Polygamy, His NEW Creepy “Revelations” | FLDS Mega Cult

Inside a secluded desert community, new “prophecies” are being whispered, children are disappearing, and a fractured religious empire is tightening its grip once again. Warren Jeffs may be behind bars, and Samuel Bateman has now been sentenced to decades in federal prison, yet their influence continues to ripple through the group they left behind. 

In this episode, we break down everything you need to know about the FLDS, from the origins of Jeffs’ power to Bateman’s rise and arrest, all the way through the latest revelations, missing-children cases, and the loyal inner circle still carrying out their commands.
