Summary
This week Ash welcomes her new co-host Michelle and they talk about the Mormon Church and some of its fundamentalist offshoots, as well as the murders of Brenda and Erica Lafferty. Jeepers Creepers!
Ash watched Under the Banner of Heaven last week on Hulu and had to do a deep dive and see what was true or not! Priesthood holders? Secret Ceremonies? Ash explains the differences between Mormonism, fundamental Mormonism and the FLDS, as well as recounts her friend's experience growing up Mormon. She also covers the brutal murders of Brenda and Erica Lafferty at the hands of her husband's fanatical fundamentalist brothers.
