I went on a 3 hour tour with a former FLDS MEMBER. I asked why the houses weren’t finished and brought up that I heard they weren’t finished because of tax reasons. He told me it was not because of tax purposes. It was because the church owned the property the house was built on through the UEP. And it was because they were not allowed by church “policy” to take out a loan to pay for anything for the home. So the house was only to be paid for in cash.
So why weren’t they finished?
@@autumn5852 it’s obvious read my post .
@@autumn5852Sounds like they didn't have enough cash to finish the house. With a prohibition on loans, they would have to wait until they saved enough money.
The house I’m in still has the Zion over the front door way off of jessop ave
It is rare to hear such a good insight. The topic is certainly close to heart.
Love you two thanks for the videos x
We passed through Hilldale and Colorado City on the way to and from Lake Powell and I always wondered why there were so many huge unfinished homes there. I knew there were Mormons there but not that they were FLDS. So interesting.
Ohhh wow thank you guys for sharing this video!
Thanks for sharing this with us blessings from North Texas ❤
I saw your walking tour just yesterday, it was really interesting.
Would you two be interested in doing an episode with Cherish Families? I would love to hear how they are doing, it looks like another group doing amazing things
Get a deadcat (those furry things that go over the mic) to help with the wind interfering with audio outside.
Thank you
Omg the mics are so smooth!
Sam I would love to hear your dad’s story if he ever got out. The tea he could spill
Sam's double-take was fun to see. But I wish the new residents had just painted out the white paint on "Zion." The fence had such permanence, I bet it would have become valued as a fascinating historical artifact eventually.
Strange how a house can be considered unfinished yet able to be inhabited.
Two of my now grown daughters have told others about having to move rocks around when they were kids. They still think it was good for them. They have told some of their friends that they need to bring their kids out to my house to move rocks. I am serious.
Does Sam know where his family lives now?
How’s Jackie? Would love to see her again.
Ok Sam, I, of course, wasn’t watching you but instead the truck behind you & getting PTSD thinking the “God Squad” was tracking you 😂
Same
Hello, I watched another video where your wife was talking about how she was brought up in the LDS church and I was wondering having left the FLDS are you now living within the LDS faith with your children.?.
It must be so hard to see that something that looked so nice and that had so much of your hard work gone
Even an unfinished house would still have a tax bill for the property itself 😢 maybe they just ignored that?
@@UnExcited42you still pay tax on land.
Do you still have the occasional contact with your father and does he know about the podcast?
That double take 🥹
The Southern Baptist church that my family attended for a while (with less than 100 people) had "righteous people pews" and "the other pews". Every church/cult has them. It makes no sense.
Was yours the pink home?
Who was responsible for removing the fence? It seems totally unnecessary. Why didn't they just remove the word or archway?
If your father was David Kilgrow Zitting where does the Zitting -Wyson come in? Was your mother a Wyson? I thought they gave the middle name as the mother's maiden name and the last name from the father? For instance, if the mother's name was Mary Tyler and the father was John Jones - the kid might be named Samuel Tyler Jones, but your group seems to have hyphened the names?
Does someone live in your childhood home now or does it belong to your family?
Im wondering the same as it's my understanding that you can reclaim it if you pay the outstanding taxes taxes on it.
As far as I know, someone owns it but nobody is living there at this time.
If Sam had joined the AUB instead of LDS, I wonder if he would have followed the Principle.
Hi Sam and Melissa Who did the demolition of the high concrete fence fence?
Are you a “lost boy” or did you voluntarily leave?
Is this on Utah ave
These two look like brother and sister.
Sam, where do your parents live now or are they still there?
Your home was a "polygamous house with many bedrooms and such" is it still being used as such? Or, has it been remodeled to just be a large home with large spaces?
Sam's since your dad is no longer with your mom's why don't he live in this house now and why don't you have communication with him.
I think they mentioned in the past that his father is still trying to get back in by being on his best behaviour for the church and since Sam is an apostate (ex-flds) it wouldnt look good to the church. They think apostates are worse than people who were never flds so if the church found out his father, who is already being reprimanded, is talking to "sinners" or apostates then they wouldnt be too happy.
As for the house, i think it might be seen as going against the church if he were to move into a home that was previously possession of the church. Also i heard most (if not all) of the flds moved elsewhere and i assume his father would still want to remain somewhat close to active members.
On that note if his father isnt going to take the house i think Sam or one of his siblings should definitely look into gettting it. It's my understanding that if you can prove you lived there at some point that you just have to pay the outstanding taxes to claim ownership. Even if it's just used as an investment/rental property i think it would be worth it.
@@Lemonade_Stand_ I have not seen all the videos so I wasn’t aware his dad was trying to get acceptance back into the group. Thank you for responding.
Who does Sam look like? Dad or Mom
@@Christmaschoc He must have strong cheek bones because Sam has a really nice chiseled face and even Sam's sister (who i believe was a half sister from his dad's side) had amazing facial structure too.
You can do a search on google.
@@bridgwll i think that would be an invasion of privacy. If they wanted to share his parents then they would have.
@@Lemonade_Stand_ I understand your thought process. I found information on Wikipedia.
Where us your dad?
