As I mentioned upthread, Paedon has a TikTok. Here is a really touching one posted today. It points out how much the kids who had no agency about what or when to film and share were effected by their parents decisions. https://vm.tiktok.com/TTPdhtyy8E/
Yes, and I don't think they have an actual church family. They practice their religion at home because polygamy is so frowned on. It was illegal where they lived and they weren't a part of any sect so they didn't have any priesthood holders above Kody to answer to as far as all that goes. I remember in the early days they talked about this and showed a little bit of them gathered together worshiping. Either they aren't very religious anymore or they chose to keep how they worship off camera. That religion is a bit private unless you are a member. You can't go to their temples and you can't go to their funerals. Most definitely the largest cult out there. If you haven't seen the HBO show "Big Love", you should! It gives away every. single. secret of the church. Both fundamentalist and Latter Day Saints. As crazy as it seems, everything they do in that show is exposing Mormons. From weird things like the "prophet" sticking his face inside a cowboy hat and popping back out with a prophecy, to the Mormon church having a HUGE part in Las Vegas gambling. It will blow your mind! I own the box set The show is about a family exactly like the Browns, trying to hide their lifestyle in Utah, living amongst the regular Mormons and just how important it is to be involved in the church out there. I've told this before too, but for those who haven't been reading along the whole time. I dated a guy that had to move to Salt Lake with his family when he was little and the teacher introduced him to the class as "The little Methodist boy from Oklahoma" or "back East"...something like that. She made it well known that he wasn't "one of them".
I felt so bad for those kids going through the moves and adjustment to Robyn on TV and even just going through puberty with a bunch of people watching and commenting.As I mentioned upthread, Paedon has a TikTok.

You may not have meant to, but your post came across as kind of offensive to me-as a Mormon (our actual name is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Mormon is a nickname.) I don't wish to get points for talking religion, and I am by absolutely no means a doctrine or history expert, but I do feel I need to try and clarify a few things that you brought up. I know the FLDS and other polygamous groups are offshoots of the LDS/Mormon church. But you seem to be using the Brown's religion and the LDS religion interchangeably in your quote above. Please know, they are not the same. Same beginnings, different current religion. Yes, our religion can be a bit private regarding things we consider sacred. We don't wish to handle those in a light or irreverent manner. But we do welcome questions and try to answer as best we can. Regarding temples, you actually can go into any temple after it has been constructed and before it has been dedicated. That is an open house period and everyone is welcome and invited to come inside. Regarding funerals, I have been to several "Mormon" funerals and they have all been open to any and all to attend. They are usually done in the buildings where we regularly attend-the chapels, and those too are always open to the community. And your comment about it being a cult...I honestly don't know where to begin on that. I clearly disagree. But it obviously has a very negative connotation and I ask that you not resort to name calling for things you do not believe in. As for the cowboy hat thing-I don't pretend to know everything about that. But anything religious and sacred can be made to sound silly and absurd. I would suggest if you want to know more about that, that you look at church resources as well as the non-church resources to get a more accurate or complete portrayal. And as for Las Vegas, again, I don't know much, but my understanding is that a "Mormon" individual did facilitate much of the bringing of casinoes to the area. But that is not the same things as the "Mormon Church" bringing casinoes to the area.
She supported the police and came out against the looting of last summer. That gets you fired nowadaysvery inappropriate and social media postings from as recently as 2020. also-just saw today that TLC recently announced a similarly based firing for alina of 90 day fiance-before the 90 days. you would think these reality shows would go through people's social media histories with a fine tooth comb but apparently it's traditionally been very cursory.
I continue to be aghast at with the complete aversion to forgiveness by Kody. Yes, he was hurt by Meti and it would be very tough to accept betrayal but many couples in the real world work thru it. What is he teaching his kids about adult relationships? That once you have been hurt, you throw it away and don’t work through it? I agree that the cat fishing was an emotional affair but his complete refusal to work with her efforts to reconcile and recover, still being very angry about it, is child-like.
Did I hear right that Meri said she and Kody hadn’t been intimate for a decade? Well that was before the catfish incident, so I think he was just using that as a complete out.
Sorry if I offended you. I got all of my information from the LDS girl that I used to work with so I'm definitely no expert on the subject. She was the one who told me that she was married in the temple and her husband's family and her non LDS friends were not allowed to attend so they had a separate reception for us.You may not have meant to, but your post came across as kind of offensive to me-as a Mormon (our actual name is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

I'm guessing she wishes that hadn't slipped out. I guarantee that's going to be what is remembered from this episode.Did I hear right that Meri said she and Kody hadn’t been intimate for a decade? Well that was before the catfish incident, so I think he was just using that as a complete out.

Things like weddings or other ceremonials in the temple are for LDS members only. When my BIL was married, my MIL and her family waited outside.
