A man who grew up in an incestuous, polygamist, Mormon cult with 14 mothers and 163 siblings has opened up about the horrors that he was subjected to by its abusive leader.

Val Snow, 35, grew up in Utah in a strict Mormon community called the Kingston Group - officially known as the Davis County Cooperative Society and internally as The Order.

The Order is a cult that was started during the Great Depression which promotes polygamy and incest to keep bloodlines 'pure.'

Val is the oldest of 12 children that his mother gave birth to in the cult, and has over 150 half-siblings.

In the podcast Cults to Consciousness, Val opened up about the physical and sexual abuse he faced at the hands of his father, John Daniel Kingston, while living in the Kingston Group.

As his mother was in a polyamorous relationship, Val admitted he didn't even know that John Daniel Kingston - whom he calls Daniel - was his biological dad was until his sister figured it out.

'Personally I didn't really see him very often,' Val told Shelise Ann Sola in the episode. 'He would come by twice a month unless he was mad at my mom, then he would come by once a month.'

He added he and his father, 'didn't really hang out a lot,' and when they did he was 'being punished or abused.'

'[Daniel's] way of raising kids was to first establish fear, and then with fear comes respect and with respect comes love, [that] is his philosophy,' Val explained.

He also expressed he has a lot of respect for his mother, who is Daniel's seventh wife, quipping: '[I] love that girl.'

14 wives...163 children.....that's more than 10 each.

Frankly, I think this is a Mormon fairy tale. But if it gets you 15 minutes of fame...hey..

Val, who is gay, also spoke about his experience of coming to terms with his homosexuality as someone who grew up in the Mormon church.

Is he just homosexual, or delusional and homosexual? They can tell some tall tales.

Little does Val know that this is soon going to be legalized as “marriage” thanks to the fags.

They exist. Their leader is in prison because of his sexual abusive children.

There’s a bad reality program late late at night on court TV and it’s about some of the girls who have gotten away and they spend their time trying to get others out.

I looked it up, his name is Warren Jeffs. He is the head of the fundamentalist latter-day saints and is in prison for life.

That’s a forgone conclusion.

The young man turned out homosexual. He was molested by his sick father. This is how homosexuality is made. Through deviance and abuse.

If he’d only been a ‘hood boy, he could have gained local fame and a revenue stream from each baby mama child he fathered.

Here is a link to escaping Polygamy. The Kingston ult is very real and this is their story. I watched in some years ago and found it fascinating.

The article doesn’t tell us the timeline of whether he “found out he was gay” BEFORE his father raped him or AFTER. Doesn’t fit the narrative.
