This is Lauren.
This is a recording/video recently shared on YouTube (trigger warning: emotional abuse: https://youtu.be/fMul-OksIfc
I plan to ask John some questions about this recording for a Patreon episode soon.
What personally catches my attention about the ‘Joseph Smith Foundation’ recording is that similar to the Daybell’s, this LDS family seems to have intense beliefs beyond current mainstream LDS teachings.
I see the Daybell case as one with motives steeped in radicalized religion. It shows us how interpretations of beliefs can become dangerous.
I believe it’s important to discuss ideologies in these closeted religious communities, especially those groups that have a public influence like ‘The Joseph Smith Foundation’ does.
Ideologies can and do lead to crime.
Many stayed quiet about the Daybell beliefs, or people ignored the concerns. I want to explore these groups that are hiding in plain sight —hiding within mainstream religion.
For those who are interested in listening to the recording and asking Dr John some questions beforehand, please do. For a transcription /explanation of the recording, here is a link:
