Escaping Polygamy

I found the show to be very forth coming of how real this problem with polygamy actually is with the Kingston cult. Im glad someone is trying to get the women and children out!! I cant wait for season 2 to air!! These women are so brave heading into the fire so to speak and breaking them out. I just want to know why the police don't step up and help!! Hopefully the Kingston cult is brought down to its knees and the women and children all become free! But that is probably not a reality since this has gone on forever!! Please bless all the women and children! Bless the women that are brave enough to have escaped and continue to do what they can for the rest.

oh my gosh! This show! wow. How amazing and how brave for a show like this come along. It horrifies me that Polygamy is still going on in this country. It disgusts me! The real women in this who had the courage to get away from that terrible, terrible environment amaze me! and it amazes me that they want to help so many others escape as well. I still cannot believe that these disgusting men haven't been to jail yet. My hope is that because of this show that these men go to jail for life and that they never see the light of day. This is brainwashing to the max!! And when they help people escape from their rooms, my heart races because I want them to get out as soon as possible without getting caught! I will always love this show and I love the message of the show too.

I spent 10 years as a drug and alcohol counselor mostly, working with the Dept. of Corrections.

I spent 7 years as a Fugitive Recovery Agent.

I have spent the last several years as a Private Investigator.

I believe I have much to offer the program, (not the TV program but more of the 'process').

I believe I have a lot to offer. Are opportunities available?

I have a lot of life left and a need to do something for my fellow human beings.

Thank you, CW

and keep up the good work!

I have watched every episode and you can tell that these women are trying to break down the barriers for a corrupt "religious organization." Some of these reviews truly taint the true picture of this show. There is shown to be some real abuse and people who have been brainwashed for years (as with any cult). Which goes to show how much these people needed help. The sisters develop plans and strategies to help other polygamist community members find a way out of their abusive lives and highlight the pure stress of leaving everything behind, but it's what comes after that is almost always shocking because the end result is always different. The show also goes into extreme detail about the family structure and the structure of such a group that one would have never know. Us as viewers can see the progress of the girls grow as people, each episode and every person they help pushes them to do more. The back stories are not only interesting, but combine into a cohesive show that builds their moral message and life's work!

I think the bad reviews are written by the polygamists who are not happy being exposed. I recommend watching this and making up your own mind. From what I know of Mormons both FLDS and mainstream they are major creeps. I don't see anything fake about it. Read some books on the subject. They are secretive and don't like for people to know anything about them. Jon Krakauer has an excellent book titled Under the Banner of Heaven where you can be educated on the history of the entire kooky religion. When they did an episode out near where I live in southern Utah it was the best. Most of those women don't leave because they are terrified and know nothing of the real world. They are not allowed TV or internet. It's true. Read about it and judge the show for yourself.
