Trust Me: The False Prophet on Netflix is Terrifying (You Need to Watch it)

Jenny watched all four episodes of Trust Me: The False Prophet on Netflix and came in ready to talk. Samuel Bateman ran a sect inside the Mormon community in Utah, had somewhere between 15 and 20 wives, nine of them underage, and was taken down partly because a filmmaker named Christine embedded herself in the community for two years, gathered evidence the local police kept dismissing, and eventually handed everything to the FBI. The story of how he was finally caught involves a trailer on a highway, fingers visible through a gap in the door, and one person who decided to call it in.Jenny and Susan break down what cult psychology actually looks like, why people join and cannot leave, what the warning signs are that most people walk right past, and what happened to the women after the FBI got involved. They also get into what each of us can do when something feels wrong and we are not sure whether to say anything. This one is heavy but it is worth it.
