Warren Jeffs & FLDS

Sara and Danny are back to dive into a fundamentalist religion that has been linked to all manner of abuses and scandals: The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The get into the Church’s beginning as an offshoot of Mormonism and all the key players that had a hand in establishing it, including its current leader, Warren Jeffs. No cult is complete without crimes, and they discuss the crimes committed by Jeffs and other members of FLDS, how they were caught, and where the perpetrators are now. To end the show, they play a game of “LDS, or LSD?,” where they try to guess whether certain peculiar situations are either so-called miracles from various religions or acid trips from various pop culture media.
