YouTube Description
as posted by the channelJoin John and Carah as they discuss with Emma what it was like to grow up in a "Mormon Prepper" household.
Since the founding of Mormonism, there has been a core belief in the imminent Second Coming of Jesus Christ (thus the "Latter-day" portion of the Church's official name). But over the past few decades, there has been an increasing trend towards "end times preparedness." Ultra-orthodox Mormons sell their assets, move to rural areas, attend "Prepper" conferences (like "Preparing a People"), build fortresses, deny healthcare and education to their children, and stockpile food/weapons/ammunition, etc.
This movement is benign for a few but, for many, it leads to extreme behavior, divided families, financial ruin, a host of charlatan "prophets" who prey on this mentality (e.g., Julie Rowe), and, in some cases, murder (e.g., Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow story).
See Parts 2 and 3 of this series with Emma, who was raised in the Mormon "Prepper" movement.
