Inside remote fundamentalist Mormon community in Nevada where families still engage in 'PLURAL' marriages, have spouses chosen for them by a 'PROPHET' - and men have DOZENS of children with their multiple wives

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.'

Every religion sounds strange when you first hear it. The only thing that makes some more palatable is time and repetition.
