The FLDS Prophet and Scientology’s Pope | Parallels in Power

In this episode, we dive into Scientology and the Aftermath Season 1, Episode 5, and explore the striking similarities between two powerful and controversial leaders: Warren Jeffs of the FLDS Church and David Miscavige of Scientology.

Sam, who grew up in the FLDS under Warren Jeffs’ leadership, shares his firsthand perspective on the control, manipulation, and fear tactics that mirror what Leah Remini and Mike Rinder expose about Scientology. Together, Sam and Melissa break down the patterns of abuse, secrecy, and loyalty demands that connect these two worlds.

Whether it’s through isolation, unquestioned authority, or the silencing of dissent, both Jeffs and Miscavige reveal how high-demand groups can trap their followers in systems of control.

👉 Join us as we compare these two leaders, react to Leah’s powerful series, and uncover the deeper truths about life inside destructive religious groups.
