Growing Up In Polygamy

• The Cost of Leaving Scientology | Our Reaction to Mike Rinder’s Story in Aftermath S1 Ep2

  In this video, we react to Season 1, Episode 2 of Scientology and the Aftermath, which dives deep into the emotional and psychological toll that comes with leaving the Church of Scientology—specifically through the powerful story of Mike Rinder.Once a top executive within Scientology, Mike left the church and has since been labeled a “suppressive person.” We discuss how the church’s disconnection policy tore his family apart, how surveillance and harassment became part of his new reality, and how these tactics echo similar experiences in other high-control religions we've witnessed or lived through ourselves.#Scientology #MikeRinder #LeahRemini #ScientologyAftermath #ReligiousTrauma #Disconnection #ExCult #HighDemandReligion #ReactionVideoIf you or someone you love has left polygamy and needs assistance, please reach out to "Holding Out HELP" at 801-548-3492 or visit their website at www.holdingouthelp.orgAt Growing Up In Polygamy our mission is to "Create compassion for communities that have been misunderstood, marginalized and/or abused by their leaders, and to empower those who have left by giving them a platform to share their stories with the world."If you would like to DONATE to this cause you can do so here: https://donorbox.org/growing-up-in-polygamyInsta: @growingupinpolygamyNew website is now up! www.growingupinpolygamy.comTheme Song created by @artcowles Please feel free to reach out to [email protected]

• Reacting to Shiny Happy People Season 2 Ep1 | Teen Mania vs LDS EFY

  In this video, we react to Shiny Happy People: Season 2 and its deep dive into the Teen Mania youth camps. As we watched, we couldn’t help but notice how much it reminded us of our own experiences at LDS EFY (Especially For Youth) camps.While the intentions behind these programs may differ, there are some surprising similarities in the way they inspired, motivated, and influenced young people in faith-based environments. We reflect on our own youth camp experiences, talk about the emotional highs and expectations, and explore the cultural impact these camps can have — both positive and challenging.If you’ve ever been to EFY, Teen Mania, or a similar youth camp, we’d love to hear your experiences and how they shaped you.#ShinyHappyPeople #TeenMania #LDS #EFY #YouthCamps #FaithJourneys #ExMormon #ShinyHappyPeopleReactionIf you or someone you love has left polygamy and needs assistance, please reach out to "Holding Out HELP" at 801-548-3492 or visit their website at www.holdingouthelp.orgAt Growing Up In Polygamy our mission is to "Create compassion for communities that have been misunderstood, marginalized and/or abused by their leaders, and to empower those who have left by giving them a platform to share their stories with the world."If you would like to DONATE to this cause you can do so here: https://donorbox.org/growing-up-in-polygamyInsta: @growingupinpolygamyNew website is now up! www.growingupinpolygamy.comTheme Song created by @artcowles Please feel free to reach out to [email protected]
