FLDS on Dateline next Friday

[homeschoolmomma1]

I know some of you enjoy learning about the FLDS.

 

I don't have much information (sorry). I was watching a commercial and it was previewed. They are interviewing a former FLDS woman. One I have never seen before.

 

Anyway I am sure there will be more info throughout the week.

Thanks for the info. I have to DVR the show.

[homeschoolmomma1]

I have more information

Friday on #Dateline, Rebecca Musser speaks out for the first time about being born into The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and her fight for justice against church leader Warren Jeffs.

Okay I was always told to break the link... sorry

If you take the http://www off it breaks the link. It's easier to copy and paste this way on mobile devices than if you use the (dot) to break. :)

[homeschoolmomma1]

Okay, Thanks :)

This makes me wish I had TV!

[Iokaste]

I'm pretty sure Rebecca Musser is the older sister of Elissa Wall who told her story in "Stolen Innocence", and one of two or three (?) of Elissa's older sisters to be married to the former prophet, Rulon Jeffs.

Within a day or two, it'll be up on the NBC website. They put all of their Dateline shows online. :)

Thanks for the heads up! I just set up the DVR.

Yes and she testified against Jeffs. She wore red on the stand, a color flds are forbidden from wearing. She has a new book out.

[homeschoolmomma1]

I wish I could change the Title to say tonight, so everyone knows

[mrs]

I will be watching too! I believe the last time(earlier this year) they had the FLDS on Dateline, the episode was online the next morning.

I wonder if Sisterwives Blog knows about the episode... off to check!

[mrs]

Rebecca Musser is very beautiful! Sisterwives Blog has posted two previews.

[ADoyle90815]

I'm planning to watch as well, as the FLDS were really my gateway fundies.

The name Rebecca Musser sounds about right. I read Elissa Wall's story and I think I mentally confused Rebecca with Teresa Blackmore, who Elissa met in Canada.

NotALoserLikeYou, thank you for this. My next question was going to ask if Musser wrote a book about her experiences. I know where I will be bright and early tomorrow - looking for her story at my local bookstore. :)

She wrote a book called The Witness Wore Red amazon.com/The-Witness-Wore-Red-Polygamous/dp/1455527858/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1379119525&sr=8-1&keywords=Rebecca+Musser

She was the 19th Wife of 85-year-old Rulon Jeffs, Warren's father.

I watched tonight. Rebecca is one strong, amazing woman. I will be reading her book.

[lilith]

I have just read the book - the insights into Alta Academy and Rulon Jeff's home, his illness, and Warrens take over were very interesting and it contained material I hadn't read before (its rare to find new FLDS info)

I agree. There's so much of an overlap with FLDS stories that many of the books written by former cult members who escaped, while inspiring, often don't offer new insight to those who follow their stories.

The closest I came to finding anything new was Sam Brower's Prophet's Prey (2011). He offers new information and closure for many of the people he dealt with that were formerly in the FLDS. Many of his contacts helped bring Jeffs to justice.

Link is up on NBC. Not breaking because it's news.

I am not sure if this warrants a new thread, so I decided to post it here.

A body was found outside Colorado City. According to the article,

the body was found facedown in a shallow grave and that the hands were secured behind the victim’s back.
