marquse1 Would you send skinny 19-21 year old girls onto cult compounds that isolate, marry and rape children to "rescue" victims?? Apparently A&E thinks that's a awesome show idea... I would not be surprised if the personal stories were based on reality, but the mercenary work by the girls is just obviously fake and staged: lots of close calls with anonymous cars driving by but not engaging trespassers or b-roll footage that pretend to show a certain event unfolding but could simply be absolutely nothing. As I said the personal tragedies may be real, but the rescue phases of the show are staged. Time to figure out this was fake: 1 episode.
charliem-87888 I think the show is great and shows the world how evil the Kingston clan is. Also I would like one of the three sisters to contact me. I am their grandfathers brother. I think the show is great and really enjoy seeing people leave the clan. I left the clan around 1968. I have written a book about the way the clan killed or had killed my father in 1947. If one of the three sisters which to contact me they can at: [email protected]. I think it is terrible how the Kingston clan treats people. When my brother Ron died ( the girls grandfather ) he disowned me just like the clan teach's. I was told by my other brother that Ron only considered members of the order to be his family.I was not considered to be his brother anymore. My book is titled: Murder At The Mine. It is only on amazon through one of the book stores in Salt Lake City that carry it. Other wise it has to be gotten from me on my web site: scenichikingphotos.comThanks and keep up the good work with the shows. Charlie
kdhart-62938 I love this show! I think the girls are doing a wonderful thing for these brain washed cult members. The people they help seek them out.. Not the other way around. The girls just give them options and help them get started in the real world and provide emotional support along the way. I think it is disgusting what these polygamist men do to these young girls. Everyone knows that all of these men have had sexual relations with little girls.. Why have they not been arrested??? They should be in prison with Warren Jeffs!! Keep up the good work girls!!!! You are doing a great thing!
Jay Paugh I think the bad reviews are written by the polygamists who are not happy being exposed. I recommend watching this and making up your own mind. From what I know of Mormons both FLDS and mainstream they are major creeps. I don't see anything fake about it. Read some books on the subject. They are secretive and don't like for people to know anything about them. Jon Krakauer has an excellent book titled Under the Banner of Heaven where you can be educated on the history of the entire kooky religion. When they did an episode out near where I live in southern Utah it was the best. Most of those women don't leave because they are terrified and know nothing of the real world. They are not allowed TV or internet. It's true. Read about it and judge the show for yourself.
