This week Grace + Marisa wanted to cover the hottest cult in the media: the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints. Inspired by the Netflix docuseries, Keep Sweet: Pray & Obey, we wanted to brief you ghoulfriends on the cult and crimes of the FLDS. Marisa takes the mic first this week to cover the history + basics of the fundamentalists... then Grace takes over to discuss the crazy crimes they commit just to keep sweet in the eyes of their prophet... despite him being in Jail.... for like... ever... but believe what you want to believe! We aren't here to yuck your yum... but this one is yucky in our honest opinions..
