A fascinating documentary has lifted the lid on life inside a fundamentalist Mormon community where families still practice 'plural marriage' - but insist they're nothing like the horrific FLDS cult founded by Warren Jeffs.
Peter Santenello, 45, a popular YouTuber who is based in the US, recently spoke to a group of people who are part of what's known as the Righteous Branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints - and they spilled on everything from why the believe in polygamy to how the women combat 'jealousy' over their husbands spending time with his other wives.
Peter visited the community that they live in, which is located in Nye County, Nevada and documented his experience in a video shared to his YouTube channel in December.
They revealed that a 'prophet' chooses who they should marry - but vowed that every woman has the final say unlike Warren's 'horrible' and 'mind controlling' FLDS.
'Of all the 17 million Mormons that exist in this world, under half of one per cent have stuck to the fundamentalist doctrine,' explained the YouTuber in his vlog.
'We're gonna get in with some of these fundamentalists to see how they live, understand plural marriage better, and get an inside look of a world that most of us will never see. Let's do this.'
In the documentary, he chatted with one woman, named Trina, who revealed that she used to be part of a plural marriage before her husband passed away.
When asked why they practice polygamy, she explained that they believe that if a man is 'really good and righteous' he should 'have the opportunity to be the father to as many children as possible.'

Sounds like islam
Mitt Romney’s cult
I just can’t believe that anyone with a half a brain could even go to this cult-church. Between John Smith’s 43 wives, the planet Kolob, 10 ft. giants on the other side of the moon, his horrible monetary crimes here in Northern Ohio, looking into his hat covering his face for bible quotes and magic stones, golden tablets that can’t be found, etc.
Bizarre that anyone even walks into those “shrines”. Do any of them do even the slightest research on this guy’s background?
I think the daily mail needs to look at this issue of polygamy in their own country where it is common
“where families still engage in ‘PLURAL’ marriages”
Is it any different than some Leftist having a “they/them” on their badge at work?
And then all the wives probably end up on OnlyFans for their pimp husband
When it comes to sex sinning ain’t right whether I’m fornicating with multiple women or having sex with myself.
All the sex with self is making men impotent and depopulating the earth IMHO.
Having sex with one woman in marriage and making babies is the right way to go for men.
So another example of imperfection in humanity but those who criticize this better not have their hands in their pants.

No, nobody does research such as you describe. They accept everything about him and the religion based on faith.
Sounds kooky enough but America was founded on freedom of religion. If the adherents willingly participate and providing they’re not hurting fellow citizens or causing harm to others then so be it. Now if sexual perversion with minors or children are involved that’s hard to justify even under the First Amendment principle.
what do all the other men do?.....guess...
I can’t believe guys voluntarily want to deal with multiple wives.
Girlfriends, sure. Wives, nope.
Modern marriage is not the way to go for men.
When the surplus boys are expelled, military recruiters pounce.
Yes, both this cult and ISlime are incompatible with our constitutional republic.
As screwed up as this “cult” might be, are they attempting to FORCE their “beliefs” on others to the point of using violence to do so?
So what?
In a decade or two at the most, once the rats get their judges on Scotus, polyamory will be the law of the land.
They kick out the “extra” boys when they get older. It’s not a social setup that can exist for a long time, or on a large scale, without the outside world being available to pick up the pieces.
