BE SWEET: PRAY and OBEY

A riveting 4 part Documentary series on NETFLIX, about Warren Jeffs and the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints sect and the ensuing scandals that were exposed.

Testimonials from former members make this series all the more haunting. Highly recommended.

First time through on Saturday, I was multi-tasking so I was half-assed paying attention. It was so compelling and intriguing - and frankly, creepy AF - that I sat down on Sunday and watched it again.

Warren Jeffs is exactly where he needs to be. Too bad they can't isolate him completely, with no contact to the outside world. Nasty MFer.

The "normal" LDS is pretty weird but this bunch took it to 11.

I wanted to reach through the TV screen and slap some of those women who were so gullible! Who allows their children to marry an old fart at 14 and have his babies? Ugh. So glad he ended up in prison and once again, it was one strong woman who pursued having the cult investigated. She didn't let up.

Powerful.

It really demonstrates the power of indoctrination beginning at birth
