There’s a lot of people out there that left and they’re not doing well and they come back because they don’t know how to function in our world.” –Jon Krakauer on those in the FLDS faith that try to escape Generations and generations they’ve lived like this and they don’t know how to function. “It’s like for them the outside world - they’ve been preached that it’s evil and so it’s scary.
