It is absolutely incredible that someone raised in a cult that would have empowered this idea of authority and entitlement over women's bodies and women's rights and children could still come out of it being such a wonderful and sensitive person and empathetic. I am just completely mind-blown thinking about how much strength it must have taken in order to still say as a man at 15 years old that you want to be with a confident woman and you don't want to practice polygamy even though that probably goes against what we would consider a man's nature. For him to be so sensitive to his mom's needs and his siblings needs and to take on this nurturing personality. Even though it was probably not taught to him because he was a boy is so impressive.

In the ‘90’s I was traveling through Utah and met a man who had 19 brothers and sisters from his one dad and two moms. He explained that there’s too many boys so most of the boys get kicked off of the fundamentalist compounds and just wander around doing odd jobs the rest of their lives. He was a baby boomer. He said he missed his family, but not his dad. He sadly said he’d been married and divorced a number of times, and had kids. He didn’t see them much because he said, “I never knew how to be a nurturing dad or husband, hense the divorces.” This presumably effected the rest of his life. I felt so sad after talking with him. He had a picture of his giant group of siblings, but no pictures of his kids.

Lol, so I was raised very worldly, with a single mom who was pretty new age and feminist minded. I was given way too much freedom because there just wasn’t anyone to keep an eye on me. I roamed the streets of the city I grew up in and did drugs, had sex and did pretty much whatever I wanted. By the time I was 20 I knew something was wrong with me, I had very few boundaries and low self worth. I got into the “new age” in my 20s and had some crazy spiritual experiences but I still had the same issues. I now know I had generational curses. But at 32 I fell on my knees from the pain and torment of my sins and surrendered to the Creator and later accepted Jeshua as my Savior my eyes were slowly opened and I was set free. A lot of mind control was broken. I am way more at peace, joyful and I am able to love myself, my life and others in an unconditional way that was not possible before. I can understand why people who are forced to believe in something would reject it but I encourage you to keep searching for truth, peace, love and joy within yourself. Be honest with yourself and be brave. Take heart, for God has overcome this world.

Happy he got out of this cult. So many don’t discover that they’re in a cult. I’m a Christian and believe the Bible. So much of Bible prophesy has already been fulfilled. Everything happens in Gods time and we don’t always understand why. I don’t believe people who say that God speaks to them personally and tells them what to do.

What an incredible and honest young man. So wonderful to see his face light up when he talks about magic. Also loves that he so clearly spoke about being supported emotionally by the other Mormon family and how even once he was financially secure he still needed that. Knowing and understanding our needs and how to meet them is really such a key to a wonderful life. Thank you for sharing your story and your thoughts. I have learned so much.

Joe seems like such a cute guy! ❤ I have so much comments of this interview! As an autistic person myself, I love to move sometimes because it's calming to me. I learned to control it because not so kind comments of people, but it's so comforting to me. I just can imagine what an awful moment was for that autistic fellow, having their knee sewd by a grow man 🙈 Also, as a person with religious trauma, I absolutely get not wanting to be around religious people. I respect all religions but I've had enough of people telling me horrible things, shielding their bigotry with religion (I had my grandma telling me that I'm not autistic, but that I am possessed and that I'm goin to hell, in a kind and worried tone 😅). I edited my comment because it just reached me that the Opus Dei members call the Opus "La Obra" (The Work), not The Order (La Orden). I got confused with my Spanish and English, I'm sorry! 😢
