Is her book out yet
Hey where’s the spoken about audio at the start?? Is it elsewhere?
She is a victim but does not victimize herself! She is strong, smart, profound, intelligent, ironic, funny and moving ❤️
I wish her the best life and I think she is already living it!
Taking Warren Jeffs old house and turning it into a Dream Center. I’m here for it. 🙌
Can u imagine ALL the kids, ALL the moms and dads that have endured this sick crap for years ,decades and generations of systematic abuse since Joseph Smith's time.
A real domino effect. There was a governor in AZ who tried to put a stop to this in the 50’s, I believe it was. But, the public, not knowing the truth or not wanting to believe the truth, I don’t know for sure… admonished the governor somehow, and ruined the governors career or something. It’s been a long time since I researched the situation. But, after the Texas raid, there were a lot of people I ran into who thought they were just people living a perfectly nice alternative lifestyle and should be allowed to do so. I corrected them. I don’t know if they changed their mind. People out in the mainstream are incredibly blind and easily manipulated into supporting enslavement, is what it boils down to. I say that, from both my own experiences and mark dice videos and other research. The road to hell is paved with the cooperation of naive people.
Wow, Brielle is such a strong and amazing person. And the fact that Warren Jeff's compound is now a place of recovery for those who have left the FLDS is incredible!!! :)
Clicked so fast. Have been looking forward to this ever since the last episode she was on.
Me tooo!
Reminds me of Corrie TenBoom. When she escaped a concentration camp, after the war, she went back and turned the same camp into a ministry house to restore broken people and families in Germany. Beautiful
This young lady is doing AMAZING THINGS!!! As a Christian I honestly pray for her success. Turning a negative into something so positive is truly Gods work. And the fact that his old house is the place they now go to for comfort is awsum
In the summer in Montana some FLDS members would attend the local LDS church. I witnessed this as a young woman myself. They never spoke a word, but studied alongside us. There are definite differences, but not enough to keep them away. I left the LDS church at 18 years old. They still try to teach me. I am an atheist and have been for 24 years. I have Catholic, Christian, Methodist, and Mormon friends. We respect each others differences.
What a great story. 'You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.' Gen 50:20
She has a beautiful spirit. God bless and keep her in Jesus name. Thank God for her deliverance!!
What do you mean by spirit?
She says things so nonchalant and matter of fact. 😯 My dad had a crazy traumatic childhood and also says things so offhandedly. It's almost like you don't realize how weird it is to go through these things so you state these things the same way you'd share the grade you received on your spelling test. 😳 😭
It’s just what they know and they don’t have much else to compare it to. Kind of like an “it is what it is” mentality. I feel like that’s how you know she’s telling the truth. There’s not really any sensationalizing.
She doesn't have victimitis. I love it.
How she read that poem without crying, I don't understand. I would've been bawling. Then again, I cry over everything...
Trauma responses ... I'm thinking about what you said, and I agree. It's a way, I think, to separate from the abuse and pain that hurts us, the things that traumatize us. Just so, so grateful she's out of that hell on Earth.
@@Donutsmakemegonuts It's okay to cry, though, and I was surprised she didn't.
I think it's how a person expresses their emotion, not that they are emotionally expressive, that's important. Overdramatizing something makes it look/feel fake, or ... too much.
It's a coping mechanism. They distance themselves from the trauma. It's actually symptomatic of extremely severe abuse.
We as free women dont realize what some women actually go thru even in America. We need to pray more for our sisters around that are being basicaly locked and the truth is being held from them the biggest truth being the real love and salvation of Jesus Christ!! Love you ladies
sorry should say Sisters around the world.ALSO
Locked away
thank you
I’m really glad this beautiful sister found out the true meaning of who Jesus was and is. She seems like such a sweetheart who still holds on to her faith. God bless her and her family. Thank you for sharing. Great interview!
Brielle you are such an amazing, strong, driven, and unselfish person!!! The people on your life are blessed to have you, thank you for sharing your story with us!
I feel like there are times to cry and feel, express and let out the pain. There are appropriate ways. It's not that expressing is bad, it's ... too much intensity can be too much for people to handle.
On one hand, I wish she had cried. On the other, maybe it's a reflection of God's peace in her heart. He does heal those deep and painful places.
Love how she took the song from Little Mermaid and rewrote it to apply to her situation. Almost made me cry.
Thank you Briell for bravely sharing your story. You are a strong person for pushing through everything- the confusion, the brainwashing, escaping, the long road to healing and processing, and moving on to not only live your life to the fullest, but to help others as well! Most of all, I'm so glad you didnt stop believing in God and came to know who he really is, rather than the lies you were raised with. Hugs.
She stood up for what was right and God blessed her and gave her the life she deserves. I'll be praying for her continued success ❤.
Woah, this woman is a warrior. Such a strong and amazing woman. ♥️ Turning her pain into power and now helping others. Way to go Brielle💪🏽🌈🌟 keep rising beauty 🥰
What a beautiful redemption story! I love how God works! How amazing! God is good... all the time. Making all things new. Praise God! It’s a beautiful story. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌈😊❤️❤️
Beautiful poem and miraculous story very clever woman! Prayers for her always and all those struggling to get out
So happy you were able to escape from those people! Glad there was a light at the end of the tunnel! God bless you, may the light of Jesus shine bright in you! And don't be afraid to continue to tell your powerful testimony. The world needs you young lady! ♥️♥️
Watched Part 1 & 2 - thank you for opening my eyes to the hardships of Cult life this incredible young woman had to struggle through- she got through with her intelligence and personal beliefs that all was not how life should be - thankfully she got there and is helping others to hopefully achieve the same 🙏🏼 for her and you guys too ❤️🇦🇺
Well done. She is clearly very intelligent and found a clever way of keeping Jeffs at bay. I wish her the best and look forward to the book.
Very empowering lady, absolutely so gracious of her strength, her inner feelings of never giving up!! Many blessings to all, and helping so many finding the good out of challenges in life and beliefs that are harmful towards others.
I’ll be looking for her book! So incredible! She’s really empowering. Tears of her past, tears of joy for her future.
I am SO inspired by you, Briell! Wow!
thanks for letting her talk.
sincerely,
an atheist.
#GodisReal #SoIsSatan 🙏
Thank you for uploading part 2 despite the state of the world rn! Stay healthy guys
Holly K be safe God bless you 🙏🏻
I love this lady so much. What a brave soul.
The poem at the end is so beautiful
Wow. I just watched the first clip so lucky I watched it just in time for the 2nd to be posted!
Same here!
You are lucky. I've been waiting!
Same here! Just watched the first part a day or two ago.
@@NikkiSchumacherOfficial lol yup! I had literally just finished watching part one, went to their page only to discover that part 2 had been posted abt 10min prior! 😁
Same. I watched one, then immediately went to the second.
I can't even imagine all the hell she went through. It's only God's grace that got her through to the other side, truly.
Briell you're an amazing woman
Holding Out Help are wonderful! Love them. Such a sad way to grow up. She has so much strength.
*I love that she has one of the homes that was his and she's using it to help others!! It's like a wonderful slap in his face!!*
Read the book LOST BOY by Brent W Jeffs for another 'insider' story. Eye opening and heart breaking
She's an icon I love her
Me too! ❤️❤️
I'm so very sorry that you went through so much and than to escape and have more hardships. God made you strong. Live safe and happy!
Poem made me cry. Wow... It's powerful, because I know the original song this is based off of, I know Briell's story, and now this poem of her very own. It moved me deeply. Chills, then tears.
So glad all these people will have to answer in the end !!
Wow, literally crying over her poem. I don't know you, but I'm so proud of you.
Thank you for bringing this to us. Fascinating insight. I was Briell all the best in the future.
You are awesome and God used you in a huge way to expose truth.
So thankful that I was raised by an atheist (recovering Christian Scientist) and an agnostic, Unitarians. So, I had minimal dogma to contend with.
Twas a blessing!
I love hearing stories of people who were able to leave situations like that. I grew up in some christian circles that actually Voddie Baucham was a part of that literally told girls that they should not go to college and should only serve their father until they get married. Obviously not as severe as LDS but still extremely damaging.
Happy that this was done by Apologia Studios! Assuming that is the same group associated with James White; I listen to his podcasts as soon as they come out.
LDS is not FLDS
@@danielle_wheels I didn't say it was. LDS is still considered pretty conservative or "fundamentalist" when compared to other Christian sects. I was just comparing lds to what I grew up in.
Brielle you are incredible, and so inspirational, thank you
Thank you for sharing. You are so strong
Love her laugh. What a lovely woman. Glad she seems to be safe and happy now ❤️
I think your wonderful and an amazingly strong woman, be kind to yourself and proud of your integrity.
Such a powerful story!!
That poem was so beautifully profound
Keep doing your great work lady it's been a pleasure just to listen to U
You are a strong lady and have a good mind. Thanks.
Poem gave me goosebumps.
Beautiful story I love you guys God bless
Wonderfully done!
This story about Warren Jeffs is so sickening... I am from Salt Lake city and actually have driven into Colorado city by accident before realizing what and where I was. It was eerie and there was no life accept weird vehicles that seemed to be the only ones out. It was strange. This story is so sad and I can't believe he got away with this for so long and brainwashed so many poor women children and men
I could relate to her beautiful poem. As a kid of missionaries, born and raised overseas, in a Completely different culture.... I can relate to wondering if I was ever going to be able to come home and live like people do in my passport country. It took years like her, to figure it out but I did. Courageous woman whose real miracle was Critical Thinking. That's.... What save her🙌🙌🙌💕
Thank you for this interview!
Gotta say it sounds like when these two get quiet there's a 'hard ice' moment where she trails off on whatever she's saying because it sounds critical of the beliefs of the religion overall.
This lady blows my mind !
Wow awesome story & lady!
YESSSSSSS, i was waiting for this. Thank you gentlemen for great content
She really pours her heart out without asking for sympathy. You have my sympathy though! And my admiration as well, Brielle.
Don't get it. At the beginning there's talk about a confession "you just heard" but there's no confession. Even listened to the end of part one. What gives?
I'm reminded of the line from Monty Python's Life of Brian when hearing these stories about Warren Jeffs - "He's not the Messiah, He's just a very naughty boy" and also a variation of the line from the Caesar character who couldn't pronounce the letter 'R' - "Welease Wawwen the Wunaway Wapist".....It's not a funny subject but humour is often created out of awful circumstances.....Great Interview, it's great to see her doing good out of a bad situation.
I wish you’d put Briell Decker’s name in the title. She deserves the recognition, not her abuser, imo.
He makes beauty from ashes... ❤️
why does the prison allow him to preach from prison
I’m not sure they do, I think the leaders just say that Jeffs wants this or that and the people just follow it
it’s not like that. in his phone or video calls he has his brother (im pretty sure it was his brother) right down his sermons and he passes it on to the church. they can’t really control what he says in his calls, but the police should have been taking down these cults already, they know they’re there and what goes on it them.
My mind cannot wrap it’s self around that fact, absolutely disgusting.
It is gross and the entire church should be categorized as his victims and he should have no contact with them. However, I think I might understand why this is happening though. The prison cannot take away his civil rights to contact people outside of prison. If we could do that it would make prison abuse easier to cover up, for example (not saying it still doesn't happen like the gladiator fights or the man who was scalded to death tragically in a hot shower by a guard on purpose after he handcuffed him in the shower and the water was around 400 degrees). Even if they executed Jeffs, his cult would make that creep a martyr.
@@drmantistobboggangonzodr3961 I wish he would be in the general population in any "urban" jail for a while. Let the "sons of Cain" know who and what he is. Maybe he wouldn't have time to do much preaching
What a lovely lady, her happy laugh is a joy to hear, I wish her well and she goes forward in life, best wishes from the UK. What a monster WJ is he deserves every year of his prison life
He's still running the cult from his cell.
Very interesting, thanks for posting this. Glad she was able to make it out of the very controlling cult. One thing I will say, however, is that God seems to get a lot of credit for the miracles she talked about in her journey out of the cult and the new safe-house she started; I would suggest that she and those that helped her deserve at most of the credit. I find it a little odd that an almighty being that we can't see or hear gets so much credit for things humans do.
Not to mention that He allows all these slimey bastards use His name to steal from and abuse others. Jeffs is an extreme example, but the televangelists, faith healers, and other cult leaders are also using God's name for con games and spreading hate.
the police is tied up/bribed by the flds......... bad :(
I'm really happy for her. As a recovering Catholic I do not think any human being can handle the power that comes from controlling large numbers of humans. The power just corrupts eventually. We learned that when the US broke away from the monarchies. I just look to Christ's actual words in the bible.
You are a smart woman. ♥️
Wow, Thank you 🙏
God bless Texas for putting a stop to this evil! There is still more work that needs to be done though. I have been a juror in a pedophilia case regarding a niece being sexually abused by her Uncle. It is horrible!
South Dakota does have one! It’s in Hot Springs!! Lots of local issues with it!
God didn’t make that home a dream center SHE made that home a dream center. This woman’s bravery and intelligence is the reason this happened. You are discounting all of her work and attributing it to a god.
A devout person would say that God worked through her to build the Dream House.
Awe her poem at the end got me bro I’m literally on the way to Disney world in a little mermaid room. I never realized how much freedom I had to just be able to go to another state, put on whatever I want, do my make up etc.
I was taught in the Mormon church that men can have plural wives in heaven and they don’t have to ask permission to be sealed to a new wife. It takes a lot of paperwork and special permission from the prophet for a woman to cancel a temple marriage. My parents divorced, and my father left the church, but according to LDS records their temple marriage is still valid. I know a girl close to my age who became a widow and she was scared to get married again because she wouldn’t be able to be sealed to her new husband or future kids unless she canceled her first temple marriage. These issues about families getting divided and plural temple marriages was a topic that I liked to bring up in Sunday school. It was difficult to disgust even when I had faith.
The was no clip in the beginning
When does her book come out on the market? Is there a title?
Yes, I was looking for that information as well. What is her book called? And when?
"woke up silent" I love that.
This interview is awesome. Briell Decker is magnetic. I’m not sure if y’all are ever going to see this, but just an idea, I think you should consider avoiding calling life outside the FLDS the “real world.” I’ve never been in a NRM or anything, but I have grown up across two cultures and suffered major culture shock as a kid. It makes you feel like an alien or an idiot or something, when you’re trying to mesh with the rest of the world. Unless she herself calls the non-FLDS world “the real world,” I’d avoid using “real” or “fake” to distinguish between life inside and outside. Watching her kinda laugh off you referring to her experience in the “real world” made my heart hurt. I wasn’t going to say anything, but just in case y’all ever see this, thanks for reading and for considering!
I've had a hard childhood but a lot of it was my choice these people have no choice brainwashed to think that way there whole life its unbelievable she is so normal makes my life childhood easy looking at their life it saddens me such good people have to go through such hardships
What a wonderful amazing testimony for the Lord
Great poem :-)
She is a hero.
It is clear that while she was safer in that christian family they didn't have the skills to help her as evidenced by the PTSD she experienced. It is too bad she didn't choose the professionals. Still they were better than the high control cult she escaped.
She is amazing
I'm Soo happy she's sharing this!!! I'm glad she left that sick ass group! Glad for the info
I would love to know the title of her book.
When is her book coming out?
I feel weird about this Interview. They ask the wrong questions...they should have another female on..it’s a weird vibe.
I agree, something feels off here.
Yeah it could have been really insightful but I feel like a lot was skimmed over because just as she gets to making her point they move on to other things.
Yes! Everything feels very vague. I feel like she is holding stuff back because she's uncomfortable with the hosts?
I read alll the comments just to find someone with the same opinion glad to know it’s not just me. I believe it’s her and the interviewers
I was in flagstaff just last week
It’s Unlikely You Out Smarted Anyone-To evaluate This Situation-Jeff’s Actually Wanted to Possess All the Exceptional Children- and Have Children for his own❤️
Where did the money come from to pay for all these compounds ect.?
By saying God created this facility it totally negates and diminishes the hard work she has done. Maybe part of her power is that she gains strength from a belief in a divine being but SHE did the work.
I enjoy these videos. I’m curious about our two hosts. Are you guys pastors? I’m new to this channel and would like to know more. What denomination to you guys preach from? Or is this general discussion with facts based on the Bible? Would love to know. I enjoy these
Not sure if links can be posted but I found a copy of Jeff's 2007 confession to his brother, Nephi. He said that he was deceived and was never the prophet. Instead, Brother William E. Jessop has been the prophet since Jeff's father died. He told Nephi to show a copy of the confession to current & former members of the group and to let gentiles know about it too. I wonder what would have said to wiggle out of the truth if Nephi had done was he was told to do.
Obviously, if he ever believed Warren was "the prophet" he now knows that Warren is lying.
You can search for the videos posted by eldoradosuccess in 2012. They are titled Part 1 and Part 2 "Warren Jeff's 2007 Jail Confession".
