Amanda Rae: Inside the Cult That Used Kids as Income Sources

Support me by reading my latest substack here: https://jadenjeffs.substack.com/p/the... Jaden Jeffs (ex-FLDS) and Amanda Rae (ex-Kingston/“the Order”) discuss how their groups used control, forced labor, and shame to suppress individuality, empathy, and mental health, including dissociation, overanalyzing, and fear of “losing your mind.” They compare polygamy and incest normalization, describe how leaving can make early relationships unhealthy, and talk about reconnecting with the body through yoga, neurofeedback, and somatic healing. Amanda explains Kingston financial practices such as underage kids paying rent, pooled family accounts, and leadership control of members’ money, plus alleged fraud and “bleeding the beast” tactics to take government funds. They explore how denial and inability to process extreme abuse lets systems persist, reference Epstein-related discourse, and debate whether billionaires can have empathy and how power avoids accountability. 00:51 Podcast Intro and Guests 01:24 Healing After Cult Life 03:26 Overthinking and Neurofeedback 05:52 Dissociation and Reclaiming Self 08:04 Incest Normalized in Groups 10:38 Dating After Leaving 12:37 Cults Outside the Cult 15:34 Finding Home After Exit 17:42 Body Shame and Somatic Work 20:30 Men and Emotional Repression 23:55 Cruelty Learned in Childhood 30:21 Money Control and Slave Labor 32:06 Kingston Economy and Fraud 42:14 Power, Greed, and No Empathy 46:48 Favoritism and Control 47:20 Defining Religious Psychosis 49:02 Schizophrenia in a Bubble 50:39 Pedestals and Cult Loyalty 55:21 Depression as Sin 58:00 Neglect and Disability Stories 59:51 Mormon Roots and FLDS History 01:05:16 Money Systems and Cult Economics 01:11:01 Misunderstanding the Order 01:14:07 Epstein Files and Reality Shock 01:20:25 Can Power Be Stopped 01:22:20 Billionaires and Corruption 01:27:54 Playing Dirty to Win 01:29:38 Community and Closing Thanks 👇**SHOP MERCH HERE FROM JADEN** [fromjaden.com](http://fromjaden.com) 👇 *FOLLOW + SUPPORT THE PODCAST* Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3GHUWDy... 🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... ✉️ Newsletter (Substack): https://jadenjeffs.substack.com/ 👇 *MY Website* JadenJeffs.com 👇 *SOCIALS* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/realjadenje...
