Did Anyone Else Here On DU Watch The Documentary - The Doomsday Prophet - Truth & Lies?..... [View all]

It's about the FLDS (fundamentalist church of the latter day saints) and Warren Jeffs and polygamy.

Bottom line this docu explored what is a 'cult' - disguised as a religious cult.

What struck me about this docu - was those in the cult that are still loyal to the cult and believe in its doctrine (I call them prisoners of the cult) and how totally they have been indoctrinated.

Their comments made in this docu are reminiscent of those of the MAGA's and the cult following surrounding Tr**p.

I'm just curious if anyone else here watched this program and if they came away with the same impressions I did with respect to the MAGA's and Tr**p?

I see hope for some of the MAGA's as many of these FLDS members ultimately broke away from the clutches of Jeffs and this cult.

What struck me is that Jeffs is in prison until 2038 when he is eligible for parole and its rumored that he is still running the cult from prison.

Is that the faith of Tr**p and the MAGA's? Hmmmm......

I apologize if this was posted before as I just watched this docu this a.m..
