Was I in a Cult?11 Marras 2025

The LeBaron Polygamy Cult—P1: "Murder in the Name of God"

She was born into one of the most dangerous polygamist cults in modern history — led by the infamous Ervil LeBaron, aptly nicknamed "The Mormon Manson," a man who believed in murder for salvation.

Her father had eleven wives, fifty-seven children, and a thousand secrets.

This is Pamela Jones.

She was six when she became a caretaker.

Eleven when she learned to fear bullets.

And fifteen when she thought marriage might save her.

It didn't.

But what makes her story unforgettable isn't just the horror she survived — it's the woman she became after it.

In this first episode of her stunning three-part story, Pamela pulls back the curtain on the LeBaron cult and shows us how she found light, power, and freedom in the rubble.

Because sometimes, the ones born into darkness become the ones who burn the brightest.
