I grew up in the Episcopal Church, so I was unaware of the existence of sects like the Mormon Church and the FLDS, but I’m a very curious woman, and I’ve learned a lot about other less liberal sects of Christianity over the years! The things that I’ve discovered are very disturbing at times, and those things have made me glad that I don’t believe, and that i didn’t have to deal with the kinds of things that the two of you have!
Love Sam & Melissa! Such great content! Keep up the great work 🩷
