Mother-of-eight details experiences in Warren Jeffs' Mormon CULT
Daily MailA former member of Warren Jeffs' fundamentalist Mormon cult has opened up about how she was accused of committing adultery after having sex with her own husband. TikTok user @cali_girl_at_heart was raised in the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, which is lead by convicted child rapist Warren Jeffs She and her now ex-husband were 15 and 19, respectively, when they got married as strangers, and they went on to have a total of eight children In our minds, we were like, "Yeah, no, I don't think so. The TikTok user explained she and her husband were among the FLDS members who vowed to not have any marital relations while Jeffs was behind bars Their children who qualified to join the United Order — a program of economic and moral reform — would be forced to live with another family. They started to question their religion and Jeffs' leadership after being found guilty of adultery for having sex with each other As punishment, they were told they would be split up and their children would have to stay with another family The mother of eight was 17 when she gave birth to her first child 'So we bought into that bulls**t and propaganda for a while before we finally left completely,' she said of escaping FLDS for good. She and her now ex-husband joined a breakoff group of the FLDS before ultimately leaving the religious community with all eight of their children When asked about her ex and if he still has a relationship with their children, she said he is a 'great dad' and an 'amazing person' She noted that she was surprised by how nice people were when she left the religion, saying she was told for years that 'everyone in the outside world was bad and wicked and awful.'
