Sei lieb - Bete und gehorche

This docuseries is disturbing because it contains tactics of influence used maliciously that we still see today. These events were not 50 or 100 years ago... but in the 2000s! It rings true that any good thing can be twisted by evil and in the FLDS church, it's rampant.

Elissa and the other men and women who have had the tenacity to come forward should know that they truly are saving lives abd families. My heart goes out to all the families who have been separated due to the Jeff men's twisted evil minds.

As a mainstream member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints I did enjoy this series, I thought it was moving and represented the victimes well. I just can't help feeling afterwards that after 3+ hours of watching it, they left so much content out. There is so much more out on the internet that shows how much of a monster Warren Jeffs really is. So many of the people in the FLDS don't really know what they are a part of and misrepresenting there leader as anything short of one of the worst people in America is deplorable. This doesn't mean the members of the FLDS are all bad in any way, they were being highly manipulated, but there needs to be some accountability from this documentary towards the leaders of this church and the people that allowed these atrocities to continue for so long.

To me, this is what happens when power, money, and greed get involved in religion and I do not believe that this was hit home hard enough against Jeff's and the other major FLDS leaders.

A slow and methodical look at the FLDS, the rise and teachings and finally the scandals. It's hard to understand how people went along with this and even harder to understand how one man has reign over so many people. Wild that people still follow WJ today. Much respect to the women who were willing to speak of their experience.

How any human being can treat others in this way is beyond my comprehension. May he rot in the depths of hell. I cannot imagine how one would overcome this kind of treatment.

...also being abused by this freak of nature. It wasn't just little girls he was raping, but little boys as well. So I docked a few stars for that, there is zero mention of the boys: There are definitely documentaries about them, possibly on YouTube.

No ONE person with human emotions can handle any degree of extreme power. Look at so many examples, including those who supposedly are crusaders for justice (cough cough got any more homes for sale in Beverly Hills for the rest of us clowns who marched on your behalf?)

I'm convinced that there is nothing but corrupt people out there, all trying to convince the rest of us to follow some good path or cause: It's all garbage.

Religion is the same, evidently.

This is a really good documentary, I liked hearing from the people themselves...but again, I think the absence of all the little boys was a bit uncool. Little boys are just as helpless as little girls. They ALL deserve protection.

I cried a few times watching this: The women who lost all their children to that cult...KNOWING what is going to happen to them. If that piece of garbage sitting in jail (can someone just off him, ffs??) is telling all the old bald men to diddle the eight year olds...NOTHING changes!!

We need more infiltration. Normally I am one of those who feel that everyone has a right to their own world/fantasy as long as they keep me and mine out of it. But this sort of thing...? It's really hard to stay neutral about it.
