In this episode, we dive into Scientology and the Aftermath Season 1, Episode 5, and explore the striking similarities between two powerful and controversial leaders: Warren Jeffs of the FLDS Church and David Miscavige of Scientology.Sam, who grew up in the FLDS under Warren Jeffs’ leadership, shares his firsthand perspective on the control, manipulation, and fear tactics that mirror what Leah Remini and Mike Rinder expose about Scientology. Together, Sam and Melissa break down the patterns of abuse, secrecy, and loyalty demands that connect these two worlds.Whether it’s through isolation, unquestioned authority, or the silencing of dissent, both Jeffs and Miscavige reveal how high-demand groups can trap their followers in systems of control.👉 Join us as we compare these two leaders, react to Leah’s powerful series, and uncover the deeper truths about life inside destructive religious groups.#Scientology #WarrenJeffs #DavidMiscavige #FLDS #CultSurvivor #ExScientologyIf you or someone you love has left polygamy and needs assistance, please reach out to "Holding Out HELP" at 801-548-3492 or visit their website at www.holdingouthelp.orgAt Growing Up In Polygamy our mission is to "Create compassion for communities that have been misunderstood, marginalized and/or abused by their leaders, and to empower those who have left by giving them a platform to share their stories with the world."If you would like to DONATE to this cause you can do so here: https://donorbox.org/growing-up-in-polygamyInsta: @growingupinpolygamyNew website is now up! www.growingupinpolygamy.comTheme Song created by @artcowles Please feel free to reach out to [email protected]
