#175: Amanda Rae - Escaping A Cult: Polygamy, Fraud, & Siblings Marrying Each Other

Amanda Rae Grant joins me to share what it was like to escape the Kingston Clan; a polygamous cult in Utah, known as the mafia of polygamists for their involvement in tax fraud, child labor, and incest.  She shares the connection between them and FLDS cults like Warren Jeffs, how they justify incest and test member's blood to marry them, when she started to realize she was in a cult, how she deprogrammed and escaped, how it led to a disastrous marriage, why women are often the victims in cults, the brainwashing tactics used by cult leaders, what it was like to adjust to life after escaping, how it shaped her beliefs, the hardest part of leaving, and much more.
