## Resource

Did Samuel Bateman copy Warren Jeffs… or was he taught?In this video, we break down a side of the Samuel Bateman case that isn’t being widely discussed. While many believe Bateman may have learned from Warren Jeffs’ journals, we’ve come across firsthand accounts and insights that suggest something much deeper may have been happening inside the FLDS community.We talk about reports from former wives and family members of Warren Jeffs, who describe how some of his wives were allegedly going throughout the community “teaching” others what Warren had done—pairing people together, promoting so-called “revelations,” and continuing behaviors even after Warren was in prison.We also discuss the role of individuals like Moroni Johnson and how these situations may not have been isolated—but part of something already unfolding behind the scenes.We bring our perspective to help explain the mindset, the power structure, and how something like this could spread.This isn’t just about one man. It’s about understanding the system.👇 Let us know your thoughts in the comments:Do you think Samuel Bateman was copying Warren Jeffs… or stepping into something that was already happening?Subscribe for more deep dives, reactions, and insider perspectives on Mormonism, polygamy, and cult dynamics.#SamuelBateman #WarrenJeffs #FLDS #TrueCrime #CultDocumentary #ExMormon #Polygamy #BreakingNews #CrimeAnalysis #CultSurvivorIf you or someone you love has left polygamy and needs assistance, please reach out to "Holding Out HELP" at 801-548-3492 or visit their website at www.holdingouthelp.orgAt Growing Up In Polygamy our mission is to "Create compassion for communities that have been misunderstood, marginalized and/or abused by their leaders, and to empower those who have left by giving the…
