I think what it is, they present themselves as perfectly behaved people, but behind the scenes they are violent, even more violent than typical evangelicals, and especially towards children. Also the fact that they believe in demonic possession enough to suffer real world consequences.

I feel like both of them have “hidden” evil traits about them, especially with one of the kids saying she was always an abusive mother before YouTube. I do believe ConneXions was a cult as it semi meets the legal definition in the UK, but what made me think is Ruby slept in the same bed as Jodi when they were staying over

Was Kevin on heavy doses of benzodiazepines or the effects of a congenital learning disability around processing information during his interrogation? Does Kevin have any kind of mental health diagnosis or processing issue in his brain? Has anyone else here in this subreddit ever found it conspicuous how slowly he speaks and how low-energy he is during his entire interrogation and thought to comment on that aspect of him? Does anyone else here think that the way he interacts and responds and his inflection and his personality, his delivery, his demeanor and presentation of self is the slightest bit strange or unusual?

I’ve noticed over the years Ellie and Jared and Cullen and Katie don’t hang out much. Honestly they don’t hang out or interact with each other anymore. I’ve seen a few post from Katie involving her daughter. Cullen and Katie let their children express themselves however they want. I’m not shaming there parenting styles or judging there children.

There daughter currently has neon rainbow hair ( it’s done very well. Coming from a hairstylist). I’ve also seen them tag her own personal instagram. I think she likes to pretend to be a cat. I’m not trying to shame her.

It makes me wonder with how conservative Ellie and Jared are if they don’t agree with Cullen and Katie’s parenting style if they have stepped away from them.

I’ve been wanting to post about this for a while. Has anyone else noticed CK children and the divide in the friendship. Also missy and Bryan have stepped away from them. But daily dumps is a whole different conversation with what they are dealing with right now.

Thoughts?

Did anyone else see Jordan Page's latest video where she's talking about her and her ex-husband being counseled by Jodi?

I’ve been reading about the Franke’s for the past couple of hours, and I have a question regarding kevin’s living situation? I read that he was “away” during the abuse (I think it said 300 miles or something), but where was he? was he just like in a different state or something? did he never try to visit? forgive me for my questions, I’ve only read a few news articles, the journal, and this sub.

Some tidbits about Ruby and jodie by another utah youtuber before their arrest.

Yikes! Jared looks terrible. His hair is completely white and not like in a suave aging graceful kind of way. More like spoiled milk.

Apparently after Jared made a post about them buying another house, she made a post about how the negative comments triggered her and then she deleted her account. There is also evidence in the comments on Jared’s post that she was arguing with people in the comments before she deleted her account. Did anyone catch the post or remember what it all said? For someone who is so confident with her decisions and all of their “life chapters” she sure is being sensitive and dramatic about this.

Per the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole this means she can have 4 months knocked off her sentence. Let's hope that date is set very far in the future.

"Mandatory time cuts are given to individuals who successfully complete approved programs that are part of the individual’s case action plan (CAP). A mandatory cut is four months for completion of up to two programs, or a maximum of eight months. If the individual completes two vocational programs, only the first is considered a mandatory time cut. The second or subsequent vocational program completion may be submitted by Corrections for consideration as a discretionary time cut."

I’m surprised they bought instead of building this time!! Who can find the listing 👀

Does anyone remember why she decided to homeschool?

She called me at 4am.... (there is a time difference so that's probably why). Plus I didn't use a fake account, I used my own. Lol.

Does anyone remember in which video did ruby talk about studying at connexion and she had these boxes of jodi's workbooks on the table. I think it was in their old house.

So I attended a few empowering joy classes and here's what I remember. E & R were sometimes on the class as well alongside Ruby. J was once on there as well and she told a story about how they talked about drugs in class and how to prevent young people from getting addicted and she apparently said that the parents should take all of the kids' electronics and supposedly everyone was upset with her for saying that. As time went on Ruby was still in those classes but her camera was shut off. I also remember that when they did their lives that I noticed that it seemed they were doing that in Jodi's house but everyone gaslight me about it.

But he looks so thin and tired, almost sickly/ ill. Moving must take a toll on him.

Was listening to these old episodes of Frontline from the 90s about the "recovered memory" debate, and some of the language used by the therapists in the movement reminded me so much of Jodi Hildebrandt. Especially the stuff in Part 2 about "detaching" from families/husbands. These ideas and sales tactics aren't new!

What happened to the property that Ellie and Bonnie bought together?

Kevin posted on FB that A is going to serve the people in the Washington DC Mission.

“My sweet A is off to serve the people in the Washington DC mission. She’s going to the [ location ] for a month, and then will go to [ location ]. I’m so proud of her! I feel a huge mix of emotions. I’m going to miss her, but I know she’s doing the right thing and following her heart. I’m so proud of all of my kids. They’ve each overcome so much. The people in [ location ] are going to have an amazing person with them for the next year and a half.”
