<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Peaky Blinders, which is about children, right, It's.

<v Speaker 2>About you know, roma people, but there are children in it.

0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:40.319
<v Speaker 1>There's children in it, and there's also children in Portland

0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:43.640
<v Speaker 1>and you help them have access to a museum by

0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:47.680
<v Speaker 1>texting Bastards to five oh one five five to donate

0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 1>to the Flip Museum.

0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:51.200
<v Speaker 2>I could have helped you with that transition.

0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:55.000
<v Speaker 3>Were happening, but I was like, well, I mean it's

0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:58.440
<v Speaker 3>not really well, children just decided to get but to

0:01:58.440 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 3>get that moment.

0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there's there's there's kids all over the place. Sure,

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:05.160
<v Speaker 1>in most places except for in this cult, which is well,

0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:08.880
<v Speaker 1>actually a lot of them are children. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 1>but you know, let's get back to the story. So

0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Joshua Craffield, as we kind of closed out the last

0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:21.480
<v Speaker 1>episode with, I don't really feel strongly that he was

0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:25.120
<v Speaker 1>necessarily worse than the surrounding society. This is one of

0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:29.080
<v Speaker 1>those cases where not really a clear good guy, right,

0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:32.359
<v Speaker 1>but he was a pretty He was still an abusive

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:35.280
<v Speaker 1>cult leader, right right, because it is a cult.

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 3>Leader leader that with it, I think not a good

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 3>guy is kind of relative the cult leader.

0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.520
<v Speaker 2>I think we can say you make your judgment for yourself.

0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah. So one of the things about him as

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:48.320
<v Speaker 1>a cult leader is that he decides after he starts

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.680
<v Speaker 1>having sex with everyone that he has been given quote,

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 1>the authority to regulate the details of their daily life. Now,

0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:58.000
<v Speaker 1>his first new rule is quote, everything except the light

0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 1>of the day is a shoot, which means no lamps,

0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:04.520
<v Speaker 1>no fires, and no electric lights. Right, nothing but daylight.

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Anything else, and you're angering God. I think it might

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:11.600
<v Speaker 1>have been still okay to navigate via like the fires

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:13.560
<v Speaker 1>caused by lightning strikes, but I don't know if this

0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:15.000
<v Speaker 1>ever got brought up to him. Not a lot of

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 1>lightning in Oregon, right.

0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:18.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean? And also, how often are you going to

0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:19.160
<v Speaker 2>be put in that position?

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:19.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:20.200
<v Speaker 2>Right?

0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:21.360
<v Speaker 3>So.

0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Joshua had also declared back on the island that sins

0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:27.799
<v Speaker 1>had to be atoned for by having his followers roll

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:30.640
<v Speaker 1>on the ground until he ordered them to stop. This

0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:34.280
<v Speaker 1>is incorporated into their day long prayer sessions. Creffield also

0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 1>started telling his followers that God only would speak to

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.640
<v Speaker 1>them when they were rolling around on the ground, and

0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.040
<v Speaker 1>that the way to welcome him in was to shout

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 1>prayers as loudly as possible while again rolling around. If

0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:47.760
<v Speaker 1>you don't do this, then God's going to smite you.

0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 1>And again, these are like twenty four hour sessions. Now

0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:52.880
<v Speaker 1>you probably won't be surprised to hear. This makes quite

0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 1>a ruckus, and it was noted that like neighbors as

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:57.760
<v Speaker 1>far as a quarter of a mile away from the

0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Hurtz house could hear them rolling around and screaming all

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:03.640
<v Speaker 1>night long when they would do these day long sessions.

0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:07.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean, you know, it's not exactly an inconspicuous

0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:08.760
<v Speaker 3>way of praying.

0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:09.440
<v Speaker 2>No no.

0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Joshua next announced that he had to sanctify their food

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:16.680
<v Speaker 1>by touching it with his hands. He exercised extreme discrimination

0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:19.920
<v Speaker 1>and what was worthy of sanctification though, So not only

0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:21.760
<v Speaker 1>did he have to sanctify your food, but he would

0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:24.039
<v Speaker 1>decide what he was willing to sanctify, and if he

0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:27.200
<v Speaker 1>didn't sanctify food for a week, you couldn't eat.

0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:34.560
<v Speaker 2>No, that's my hamburger, let me touch it. No, God

0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:39.839
<v Speaker 2>doesn't want you to have this. I love it. He's

0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:41.159
<v Speaker 2>just everyone's big brother.

0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, just jacking their food.

0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:47.480
<v Speaker 2>Stealing from them and saying God, he's.

0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:56.520
<v Speaker 1>The professor from that. I think you should leave that. Yeah,

0:04:56.560 --> 0:05:00.960
<v Speaker 1>that is exactly what he's doing. God, that is that

0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 1>is quite funny. So if he doesn't sanctify food, then

0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:06.560
<v Speaker 1>you can't eat, right, So like one week he'd be

0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:09.320
<v Speaker 1>like God, has only approved me to sanctify bread and

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.400
<v Speaker 1>water because he wants you to know what it's like

0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:13.640
<v Speaker 1>to be hungry. And then the next week he's like,

0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:16.599
<v Speaker 1>you don't know enough yet, so I'm not sanctifying everything.

0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:19.640
<v Speaker 1>You can't even have water. And then when people be like,

0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.800
<v Speaker 1>but we we want water, please don't why why are

0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.520
<v Speaker 1>we starving it and ourselves, he would be like, if

0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:27.520
<v Speaker 1>you don't do this, God's going to take me away,

0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Like he'll make me leave if you guys don't starve

0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:31.920
<v Speaker 1>yourselves this week.

0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:35.200
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, God will get rid of the last good

0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:37.000
<v Speaker 3>dick you've ever seen.

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.920
<v Speaker 2>And they're like, oh fuck, yeah. Can't let the.

0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:44.799
<v Speaker 1>Kind of where this is headed because next from Holy

0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:48.160
<v Speaker 1>Rollers quote, Joshua ruled that men, women, and children were

0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:50.160
<v Speaker 1>all to sleep together on the floor in the same

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.800
<v Speaker 1>room while wearing little clothing. They were to do this so,

0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:56.200
<v Speaker 1>according to Joshua, they wouldn't know cold, or so so

0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:59.440
<v Speaker 1>they would know cold. Joshua established rules about whom they

0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:02.039
<v Speaker 1>could community kate with. If someone wasn't one of God's

0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:05.480
<v Speaker 1>anointed refused to accept the gift of spirit, Joshua told

0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.159
<v Speaker 1>them to have no dealings with the infidels, even if

0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:11.680
<v Speaker 1>the infidels were members of their own families. So he's

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:15.280
<v Speaker 1>he's isolating everybody. He's now much more directly breaking up families.

0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.880
<v Speaker 1>And this creates a problem because Crefield and his cult

0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:20.840
<v Speaker 1>are now living at the Hurt family house. And while

0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:23.599
<v Speaker 1>Maud and most of the rest of the Hurt family,

0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, Maud, her brother, one of her sisters, her mom,

0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:31.560
<v Speaker 1>they've all joined Joshua's cult. Their father, the patriarch of

0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:34.000
<v Speaker 1>the family, Ov Hurt, and the owner of the house,

0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:36.760
<v Speaker 1>has not joined the cult, right he has refused to.

0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:39.160
<v Speaker 1>He's letting them all crash here because he doesn't want

0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:41.599
<v Speaker 1>his daughter to like freeze to death in the woods.

0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:44.680
<v Speaker 1>But he is not in the cult. And Crefield has

0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.960
<v Speaker 1>just said, you have to like shun everyone who's not

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:51.440
<v Speaker 1>in the cult. And this is kind of it. It's

0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:53.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of sad because like in our whole story, Ov

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:57.039
<v Speaker 1>Hurt is the only nice guy, like everyone in town

0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:00.240
<v Speaker 1>basically agrees he was just like a really helpful kind man.

0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:03.120
<v Speaker 1>And he again, he had agreed to let the cult

0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:05.280
<v Speaker 1>live on his family because he loved his family so much.

0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:07.080
<v Speaker 1>And he's like, I don't understand what you're doing, but

0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:08.919
<v Speaker 1>I don't want you to die in the cold, please

0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.600
<v Speaker 1>come in with me. Cheryl'll take your cult leader too.

0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:16.920
<v Speaker 1>And Joshua we call that enabling. He is he is enabling,

0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:20.000
<v Speaker 1>and Joshua punishes him for it because he's like, I

0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:22.000
<v Speaker 1>know that we're living in his house, but you all

0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 1>have to shun your dad. Don't call you can't call

0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:26.760
<v Speaker 1>him dad. God's God's the only fan. There's only one

0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:27.440
<v Speaker 1>dad here.

0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:28.040
<v Speaker 2>It's me.

0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Call him the Black Devil. Yeah, very wild shit. And

0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:39.440
<v Speaker 1>he's like, you need to tell him whenever you have

0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:41.800
<v Speaker 1>a chance, that God's going to kill him, right, Like,

0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:44.760
<v Speaker 1>don't call him your dad and let him knowing he's

0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:45.760
<v Speaker 1>going to be punished.

0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, call him the black Devil and that God wants

0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:51.520
<v Speaker 3>him dad. Yeah, but you know, have a regular relationship.

0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:52.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to tell you otherwise.

0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Sure don't be yeah, now, as you probably would not

0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:59.120
<v Speaker 1>be surprised to hear. This is kind of a bummer

0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:01.440
<v Speaker 1>for ov, right, not a happy way to live. So

0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:04.280
<v Speaker 1>by the end of October, he gives in and he's like,

0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.000
<v Speaker 1>fuck it, I'll join the cult. What else am I

0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:10.360
<v Speaker 1>going to do? Life is terrible? Otherwise, he quits his job.

0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.680
<v Speaker 1>He sends them like his two weeks notice, and he's like,

0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:15.160
<v Speaker 1>I now realize I've been living in sin and I'm

0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.200
<v Speaker 1>going to go join a cult. And he puts a

0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:20.080
<v Speaker 1>note on his front door that says positively, no admittance

0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:22.720
<v Speaker 1>except on God's business, which I also have on my

0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:27.240
<v Speaker 1>front door. Different God, Sure, different God, Think deeper, think older,

0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:32.920
<v Speaker 1>more underwater. Anyway, the Holy Rollers are overjoyed that OV

0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:35.720
<v Speaker 1>has joined them, and like all of us, they knew

0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:38.559
<v Speaker 1>the best way to express their joy was by lighting

0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:42.559
<v Speaker 1>shit on fire, which they did using all of Ovi's

0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:46.360
<v Speaker 1>possessions as kindling. So they take once he joins, they

0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:49.360
<v Speaker 1>take everything he owns, his carpets, his beds, is she

0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:53.320
<v Speaker 1>his like precious family heirlooms, his like things he'd inherited

0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:57.040
<v Speaker 1>from his dad, family photos, and they light them on fire.

0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.920
<v Speaker 1>They build a big bonfire, and they're like, this shit's car,

0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:01.480
<v Speaker 1>so we have to burn it.

0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:03.080
<v Speaker 2>God, damn it.

0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:09.160
<v Speaker 1>You just yeah, this poor motherfucker. Now, Frank, the guy

0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.960
<v Speaker 1>who had made the newspaper because he rode his bike

0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:16.120
<v Speaker 1>to Oregon City, he throws his bike on the pire

0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:17.840
<v Speaker 1>right because he's in the colt, so he has to

0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:21.160
<v Speaker 1>burn his bicycle as carnal and once they finished with

0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:24.080
<v Speaker 1>the furniture, the Colt digs up all the flowers and

0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:27.280
<v Speaker 1>grape vines and fruit trees their garden and they burn

0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:31.120
<v Speaker 1>that too. Last, they take all of the family livestock,

0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:33.560
<v Speaker 1>their chickens, as well as the pet cat and dog

0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:34.680
<v Speaker 1>and burn them alive.

0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:37.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah all right, I officially don't like it.

0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Yes, now, now we're onto the monster part.

0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:42.440
<v Speaker 2>Right. Listen, you can fuck my wife all you want,

0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:44.640
<v Speaker 2>but you leave my kid cat out of this. You

0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:45.640
<v Speaker 2>son them a bitch.

0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so that's good, although there's some debate as to

0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:51.880
<v Speaker 1>whether or not the animals were alive when this happens.

0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.960
<v Speaker 1>So okay, I don't know, imagine that it's the less

0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:55.720
<v Speaker 1>horrible option.

0:09:55.840 --> 0:10:00.480
<v Speaker 2>I guess yeah. I like him again, my wife.

0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:04.079
<v Speaker 1>So they decide next that they should march on another

0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:07.880
<v Speaker 1>family home, the Hartley Residents. Warren Hartley is again not

0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:10.199
<v Speaker 1>a follower of the cult, but his wife and daughter

0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:12.559
<v Speaker 1>are so like his wife and daughter. Well, he's like

0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:14.680
<v Speaker 1>a way at work, start lighting his shit on a

0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:18.959
<v Speaker 1>fire and when he comes back, he like gets a shotgun,

0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:24.040
<v Speaker 1>like fuck you guys, right, And so this whole brew

0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:27.840
<v Speaker 1>haha obviously makes the local papers kind of a kind

0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:30.120
<v Speaker 1>of a wild thing to happen in your small city.

0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:31.920
<v Speaker 2>Did he shoot anybody with the gun?

0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:34.960
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't, sho, No, he should have, Yeah, but he

0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:38.679
<v Speaker 1>does not, probably because it was his family doing a

0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:39.400
<v Speaker 1>lot of the burning.

0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:40.599
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:44.640
<v Speaker 1>So this becomes enough of a story that like several

0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:48.640
<v Speaker 1>thousand Oregonians travel from nearby to like drive and walk

0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:51.080
<v Speaker 1>past the house where this is all happening, just to

0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.440
<v Speaker 1>be like, maybe we'll get to see a crazy person.

0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:56.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's not much going on in Oregon at

0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:56.760
<v Speaker 1>this point.

0:10:57.760 --> 0:10:59.040
<v Speaker 2>We very dressed.

0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:02.480
<v Speaker 3>This enough guy burning a bunch of shit with a

0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:07.400
<v Speaker 3>shotgun nearby is like literally watching nineteen ninety seven's The Titanic.

0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, hey, honey, you know how our lives are unendurable drudgery.

0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Let's risk them by traveling eighteen hours by foot to

0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:15.520
<v Speaker 1>look at a crazy man.

0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:18.319
<v Speaker 2>Wow, look at them, Bud.

0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:21.680
<v Speaker 1>This was worth both of our sons dying of tetanus

0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:22.200
<v Speaker 1>on the road.

0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:26.040
<v Speaker 3>I hate my child, but it's fun to see that

0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:27.920
<v Speaker 3>that lady has almost got a titties.

0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:31.319
<v Speaker 2>How she's dancing oor agaon.

0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:36.840
<v Speaker 1>So this had all gone so oh sorry, So yeah,

0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:40.800
<v Speaker 1>this becomes like a whole thing and a rumor starts

0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:42.880
<v Speaker 1>to spread right based on the fact that they burnt

0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:46.480
<v Speaker 1>their pets on this pire that an adopted child had

0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:48.840
<v Speaker 1>also been like because the Hurts have a kid they

0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:51.680
<v Speaker 1>adopted and no one is able like they no one's

0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:53.400
<v Speaker 1>seen the kid in a while, so they're like a

0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:57.760
<v Speaker 1>shit the coat light a baby on fire because Crayfield

0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:00.680
<v Speaker 1>has been preaching that this adopted child they like, you know,

0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:04.360
<v Speaker 1>you spend some money on the adoption process, right, so

0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.480
<v Speaker 1>that makes this child profane and of the world and

0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:13.600
<v Speaker 1>thus not worth a living dickhead. Yeah, he's really made

0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:14.320
<v Speaker 1>a heel turn.

0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Now I don't like him.

0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:22.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, good stuff. So Craffield has not gone that far, thankfully. No,

0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:24.440
<v Speaker 1>no children get lit on fire as far as we're

0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:26.480
<v Speaker 1>aware of. No kids die in the story, in fact,

0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:29.920
<v Speaker 1>which makes it fairly rare among behind the bathrooms.

0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:32.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I know this is new for you.

0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:36.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, celebrate a cut kid not dying in this by

0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:39.760
<v Speaker 1>donating to the Portland's Children's Missus please right, yeah five

0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:42.880
<v Speaker 1>oh one five five text there then you can donate. Bam,

0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:47.240
<v Speaker 1>that's a fucking plug. Well, Craffield has not lit a

0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:50.320
<v Speaker 1>baby on fire. The rumor is widely believed enough that

0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:53.440
<v Speaker 1>the police have to make a welfare check. And not

0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:56.600
<v Speaker 1>very pro police here, but like, yeah, you probably want

0:12:56.600 --> 0:13:00.319
<v Speaker 1>to check up on that jarlit and cats and rugs

0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:01.800
<v Speaker 1>on fire. They might kill a baby.

0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.560
<v Speaker 2>There's no way to know. I mean, what else is

0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:07.880
<v Speaker 2>your job? You know what I mean? Right? Like you

0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:09.280
<v Speaker 2>like that's a part of it.

0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:11.960
<v Speaker 3>Is like, hey, we got a loose cannon in the neighborhood,

0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:13.959
<v Speaker 3>fucking all the wives pets.

0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:16.120
<v Speaker 1>Maybe maybe we take a look at this.

0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:18.600
<v Speaker 3>Ye, let's just give a little knocking knock on the

0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:19.880
<v Speaker 3>door here and see if.

0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Show up at the hurt house and OV lets them

0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:25.720
<v Speaker 1>in and they they enter to find the house empty

0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:28.160
<v Speaker 1>because everything's been burned. All the furniture has been burned,

0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:30.920
<v Speaker 1>and all of the rollers are lying near naked in

0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:34.040
<v Speaker 1>a pile in an empty room like weeping. Some of

0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:36.720
<v Speaker 1>them are crying, some of them are laughing, all of

0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:39.480
<v Speaker 1>them are chanting loudly in prayer. A lot of them

0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:44.199
<v Speaker 1>are rolling around. They seem kind of like manic and crazy, right, sure,

0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:46.319
<v Speaker 1>none of them have eaten in days. They all look

0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:50.680
<v Speaker 1>exhausted and like starving. So the police are like, well, yeah,

0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:52.800
<v Speaker 1>this does seem like it could be a problem, But

0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:56.400
<v Speaker 1>OV takes them to the adopted daughter, and so like, well,

0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:59.280
<v Speaker 1>the kid's not dead. And so next they're like, did

0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:03.560
<v Speaker 1>you guys kill your pets in a bonfire? And Frank Hurt,

0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:05.640
<v Speaker 1>who's Ov's son and also in the cult, is like,

0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:07.960
<v Speaker 1>we killed a dog and cat. I admit, but we

0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:09.959
<v Speaker 1>did so because we wanted to get rid of them

0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:12.959
<v Speaker 1>but failed. Yeah, no, no, no, that's better.

0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:16.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, listen, we tried to get rid of them. The

0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:18.960
<v Speaker 3>cat came back, you know the song, and sometimes the

0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:20.000
<v Speaker 3>cat comes back, you got.

0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:20.400
<v Speaker 2>To burn it.

0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, they did a real homeword bound thing, so

0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:24.560
<v Speaker 1>we had to fucking light them on fire.

0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:32.000
<v Speaker 4>The alternative endings, that would be a really different movie

0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:34.080
<v Speaker 4>if at the end of that the family is like

0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:36.920
<v Speaker 4>the direct the animals followed us.

0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Studio note is useful.

0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:45.440
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, the cops that ask did you, like, did

0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:49.600
<v Speaker 1>you sacrifice these animals? And Crayfield is like, no, no,

0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:53.200
<v Speaker 1>we didn't sacrifice the animals, but that would be weird. Yeah, yeah,

0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:55.760
<v Speaker 1>and and and Frank says, we have no loss except

0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:58.320
<v Speaker 1>the Bible. You find nothing like that in the Bible.

0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:00.760
<v Speaker 1>And Ov is like, yeah, we killed the dog, but

0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:03.360
<v Speaker 1>it was like a bad dog. It wouldn't obey orders,

0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:09.600
<v Speaker 1>and so we had sentences to death for its disobedience. Right, right,

0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:10.880
<v Speaker 1>We had a trial.

0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:13.600
<v Speaker 3>We had another dog as judge. It was a jer

0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:16.080
<v Speaker 3>of its fears, a bunch of other dogs barking and shit.

0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:19.280
<v Speaker 1>And this is this is this concerns the sheriff because again,

0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:22.320
<v Speaker 1>ov is this nice man, like, he's not the kind

0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:23.840
<v Speaker 1>of guy to murder his dog.

0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:26.600
<v Speaker 2>But you know, a nice guy, you know, not the

0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:27.320
<v Speaker 2>dog murdering.

0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he doesn't seem like the kind of guy who

0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:33.480
<v Speaker 1>would kill his dog on a fire. Who character, Yes,

0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:37.320
<v Speaker 1>it seems kind of weird for you, man, which I

0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:39.480
<v Speaker 1>guess it's nice to be known as not the kind

0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:40.280
<v Speaker 1>of guy who would do.

0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:41.120
<v Speaker 2>I love that.

0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, put that on a resume. Yeah, probably not the

0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:47.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of guy who would light a dog on fire.

0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:48.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, exactly.

0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So the police asked next, hey, if God told

0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:56.200
<v Speaker 1>you that you were supposed to murder your small adopted child,

0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:59.040
<v Speaker 1>would you do that? And Creffield's like, well, you know,

0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:02.400
<v Speaker 1>it's impossible for me to sin since God is scripting

0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:04.920
<v Speaker 1>every action that I take. So if I were to

0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:06.800
<v Speaker 1>burn a child, it wouldn't be wrong.

0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:10.040
<v Speaker 2>Now, well, he tells us to the cops.

0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:11.600
<v Speaker 1>He tells this to the cops.

0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:13.680
<v Speaker 2>Dude, I like, he's going for it.

0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:17.080
<v Speaker 3>He's going for it, right, going for it.

0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:22.280
<v Speaker 1>That is unsettling and honestly probably should be caused for

0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:25.440
<v Speaker 1>some sort of action being taken against you. But it's

0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:28.280
<v Speaker 1>not illegal, right. The cops are like, well, he has

0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:31.760
<v Speaker 1>not committed a crime, right, Like, there's nothing illegal about

0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:34.720
<v Speaker 1>killing your own pets, and there's nothing illegal about saying

0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:36.760
<v Speaker 1>that it wouldn't be wrong for you to murder a

0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:38.640
<v Speaker 1>child if you haven't murdered the child.

0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:41.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you're like, I don't know if it's I mean,

0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:44.200
<v Speaker 3>I guess it's a First Amendment issue here.

0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:46.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there's a lot going on here.

0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:48.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm a free speech absolutist.

0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:50.560
<v Speaker 3>Obviously we live in an organ with a little bit

0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:52.120
<v Speaker 3>of like, uh, whites only whatever.

0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:53.520
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, yeah, I don't know.

0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:57.520
<v Speaker 1>So nineteen oh three not being a high point for

0:16:57.560 --> 0:17:01.120
<v Speaker 1>animal rights. There's nothing the police can do legally here

0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:04.560
<v Speaker 1>right now. Obviously the Oregon police have acted illegally an

0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:07.520
<v Speaker 1>awful lot in this period. Most of them are in

0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:09.840
<v Speaker 1>the KKK and like ten years or so when that

0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:12.240
<v Speaker 1>comes through, so like they're part of why they're not

0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:14.800
<v Speaker 1>willing to do this is like, these are white Christians, right,

0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:17.680
<v Speaker 1>so like what are we supposed to do? So instead

0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.359
<v Speaker 1>of doing anything, the cops are like, well, we can't

0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:22.720
<v Speaker 1>arrest you, but like we should. Let you know, all

0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:24.879
<v Speaker 1>the men in town are really angry and they are

0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:28.160
<v Speaker 1>talking about forming a posse and maybe tarring and feathering

0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:30.639
<v Speaker 1>all of the men running this cult. So you know,

0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:33.479
<v Speaker 1>heads up and you will not be surprised to hear.

0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:36.159
<v Speaker 1>Joshua does not change his behavior as a result of

0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:39.480
<v Speaker 1>this warning, because again, part of what he's been preaching

0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:43.280
<v Speaker 1>is that once we start teaching the true Gospel, all

0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:46.920
<v Speaker 1>of the everyone's gonna hate us. Right, This is within

0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:50.119
<v Speaker 1>his co religious cosmology to be expected.

0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:51.040
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:54.119
<v Speaker 3>The negative attention guy, the more negative attention he gets,

0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:55.280
<v Speaker 3>the more he's like, I'm.

0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:57.320
<v Speaker 1>Right, yeah, they're trying to cancel.

0:17:57.080 --> 0:18:02.160
<v Speaker 3>Us for cancel call culture where you can't just burn

0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:05.360
<v Speaker 3>your pets and fuck everyone's wife, you know, right, right day,

0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:09.280
<v Speaker 3>politically correct man, Portland, Oregon town.

0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:12.960
<v Speaker 1>That's you know what, Matt, that's a great new don't

0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:15.000
<v Speaker 1>tread on me flag, like you still have the snake

0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:17.000
<v Speaker 1>in the middle, but instead don't treat on me. It's

0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:23.920
<v Speaker 1>like kill your pets, fuck your wives. Good stuff, good stuff.

0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:28.040
<v Speaker 1>So after this point, after this police visit ends in nothing,

0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:32.480
<v Speaker 1>harassment of the cult begins by locals. Right, gangs of

0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:35.000
<v Speaker 1>men in the night start running up and like hurling

0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:37.879
<v Speaker 1>rocks through the house windows, banging on the door, and

0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:42.240
<v Speaker 1>then running off. One father kidnaps back his daughter. Now,

0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:45.400
<v Speaker 1>when I say he kidnaps her, she is twenty two

0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:49.360
<v Speaker 1>years old, right, So assuming now legally are women are

0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:52.280
<v Speaker 1>not independent in this short in time, right, they can't

0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:54.800
<v Speaker 1>even vote, So I don't know what the law would

0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:56.760
<v Speaker 1>say about this, but like she's twenty two years old

0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:58.400
<v Speaker 1>in the society, she wants to be here. He does

0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:01.800
<v Speaker 1>steal her, right, right, and he ties her to her

0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:04.120
<v Speaker 1>bed in his house to keep her from going back.

0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:08.200
<v Speaker 1>She spends days like not sleeping, screaming, refusing to eat.

0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:11.760
<v Speaker 1>But like it's it is pretty bad. Again, not a

0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:13.119
<v Speaker 1>clear good guy in this story.

0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:16.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and tied her down so she can't even roll.

0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:19.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, she can't roll, right, God's gonna be pissed.

0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:23.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she's like going through dts from not rolling.

0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:27.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So eventually Crefield and one of his top men, Brooks,

0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:30.720
<v Speaker 1>flee like flee town to try to avoid because they

0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:32.919
<v Speaker 1>think they're gonna get murdered and try to shack up

0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:35.680
<v Speaker 1>at a random house in a nearby town called Wren

0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:38.840
<v Speaker 1>and they're like, knock on this old lady's door. News

0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:41.080
<v Speaker 1>does not purcole it quickly, so she doesn't know who

0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:43.600
<v Speaker 1>they are. She just sees two dirty guys coming off

0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:45.840
<v Speaker 1>the road being like, hey, we need a place to

0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:48.199
<v Speaker 1>stay for the night. You know, we're starving, and you know,

0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:51.199
<v Speaker 1>being a nice person is like, of course you can

0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:54.119
<v Speaker 1>sleep here tonight, right Crefield as soon as she like

0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:59.080
<v Speaker 1>invites him in, is like, hey, you got any pets. Yeah,

0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:03.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm God's prophet. Will you cook me dinner? Now? I

0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:05.159
<v Speaker 1>don't know much about this lady other than this, but

0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:07.399
<v Speaker 1>I like her because as soon as this guy says, hey,

0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:11.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm God's chosen one, make me dinner, lady, She's like, oh, yeah,

0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:13.080
<v Speaker 1>of course, I just got to go to the grocery

0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:15.800
<v Speaker 1>store real quick. So she rolls down to the grocery

0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:18.560
<v Speaker 1>store and then finds the nearest group of armed men

0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:21.360
<v Speaker 1>and it's like, hey, I need you to deal with

0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:25.959
<v Speaker 1>this guy for me, And so a bunch of like

0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:29.520
<v Speaker 1>lumberjacks show up with weapons and are like We're gonna

0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:31.160
<v Speaker 1>make this a problem if you don't get the fuck

0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:34.520
<v Speaker 1>out of this lady's house. Which is pretty cool. That's

0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:35.760
<v Speaker 1>pretty based.

0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:40.040
<v Speaker 2>Lady. You know what, she's got a good head on

0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:40.560
<v Speaker 2>her shoulder.

0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:41.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, smart.

0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:44.080
<v Speaker 3>She saw all the red flags and said, I gotta

0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:45.040
<v Speaker 3>get lumberjacks.

0:20:45.119 --> 0:20:47.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I need yeah, some lumberjacks and suns.

0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:49.800
<v Speaker 3>Got that probably look like a tree trunk. We gotta

0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:51.240
<v Speaker 3>get some lumberjacks here.

0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:53.160
<v Speaker 2>There you go.

0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:57.520
<v Speaker 1>So Crefield and this other guy returned to the herd

0:20:57.520 --> 0:21:00.639
<v Speaker 1>house right because they can't make it, and wrin Ov,

0:21:00.840 --> 0:21:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Hurt by this point, has gotten tired of being in

0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:04.920
<v Speaker 1>the cult. He was never really into it. He just

0:21:05.000 --> 0:21:07.439
<v Speaker 1>didn't want his wife and kids to hate him. So

0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:10.160
<v Speaker 1>a friend of his is like, hey, you seem really

0:21:10.200 --> 0:21:12.920
<v Speaker 1>depressed and you lit your dog on fire. You want

0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:15.640
<v Speaker 1>to like go to Portland with me for a week,

0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:18.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, just kind of clear your head, right, And

0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:21.800
<v Speaker 1>he's like, yeah, that actually seems like a good idea.

0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:23.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, yeah.

0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:27.200
<v Speaker 1>And then this friend is his daughter's former fiance, James. Right,

0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:29.080
<v Speaker 1>they got the rich guy we heard about earlier. So

0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:31.119
<v Speaker 1>James is like, why don't we take a drive.

0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:37.520
<v Speaker 3>You look like you needed man to not be around

0:21:37.560 --> 0:21:38.760
<v Speaker 3>the ashes of your form.

0:21:40.280 --> 0:21:42.719
<v Speaker 1>So as soon as he gets away from this, he's like,

0:21:42.760 --> 0:21:44.400
<v Speaker 1>oh fuck, I don't want to be in a cult, man,

0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:47.160
<v Speaker 1>this is this is terrible. I made a horrible mistake.

0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:53.679
<v Speaker 1>And so he returns home now de radicalized. I guess

0:21:53.880 --> 0:21:56.960
<v Speaker 1>just in time to learn like everyone else, that God

0:21:57.040 --> 0:22:00.800
<v Speaker 1>has given another message to Joshua Craffield is pointed great,

0:22:01.160 --> 0:22:02.679
<v Speaker 1>and I bet you're not going to be surprised to

0:22:02.680 --> 0:22:05.520
<v Speaker 1>hear that messages you should marry a sixteen year old.

0:22:06.119 --> 0:22:09.720
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that was going yeah, that's always

0:22:09.760 --> 0:22:10.440
<v Speaker 5>where this was.

0:22:10.480 --> 0:22:12.480
<v Speaker 2>Ends, always where it's going to end up.

0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:15.760
<v Speaker 3>You know, there's a lot of roundabout ways that people

0:22:15.920 --> 0:22:18.080
<v Speaker 3>try to eventually marry a sixteen year old, and this

0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:18.320
<v Speaker 3>is one.

0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:20.760
<v Speaker 1>Well that's that's the thing for all of this, the

0:22:20.880 --> 0:22:23.399
<v Speaker 1>enjoyment that I have about the concept of sex cults.

0:22:23.440 --> 0:22:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Whenever you're talking sex holt, there is a moment in

0:22:26.320 --> 0:22:28.440
<v Speaker 1>which the leader is going to marry a sixteen year old.

0:22:28.480 --> 0:22:30.679
<v Speaker 1>And that's every one of these stories. I've read a

0:22:30.680 --> 0:22:31.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of them.

0:22:31.240 --> 0:22:33.800
<v Speaker 3>It always goes in that direction. And it's just like

0:22:33.920 --> 0:22:36.680
<v Speaker 3>every single time you've ruined sex cults.

0:22:36.400 --> 0:22:39.520
<v Speaker 1>For me, yeah, exactly. It's really we need a new

0:22:40.040 --> 0:22:41.920
<v Speaker 1>non problematic sex quest.

0:22:42.000 --> 0:22:45.159
<v Speaker 3>Honestly, it's like an ethical sex cult where you know,

0:22:45.800 --> 0:22:46.639
<v Speaker 3>sent is key.

0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:49.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and there's none of this.

0:22:50.240 --> 0:22:53.200
<v Speaker 1>Let's just say the minimum age twenty eight, right, We're

0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:55.560
<v Speaker 1>really going to go in above the line, you know, right.

0:22:56.760 --> 0:22:58.040
<v Speaker 1>I think this is I think we can make a

0:22:58.040 --> 0:22:58.879
<v Speaker 1>lot of money. Just do it.

0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:01.800
<v Speaker 2>Let's get that island, Robert, Let's do it.

0:23:01.880 --> 0:23:03.600
<v Speaker 1>This is a good idea. This is a good idea.

0:23:04.240 --> 0:23:07.840
<v Speaker 1>So so yeah, the sixteen year old that God has

0:23:07.920 --> 0:23:10.840
<v Speaker 1>told Joshua Crefield to marry is a cult member named

0:23:11.040 --> 0:23:15.119
<v Speaker 1>Esther Mitchell, and so he's like, yep, we're gonna get hitched.

0:23:15.160 --> 0:23:17.520
<v Speaker 1>God says it. She's gonna be the new Mary. But

0:23:17.640 --> 0:23:20.919
<v Speaker 1>before this can all happen, Esther's sister commits her to

0:23:20.920 --> 0:23:25.639
<v Speaker 1>an insane asylum in Portland, which is again, everything about

0:23:25.680 --> 0:23:30.040
<v Speaker 1>all of this story is problematic, right, Like, involuntary commitment

0:23:30.160 --> 0:23:32.240
<v Speaker 1>is a huge part of what's going to happen, not

0:23:32.320 --> 0:23:35.480
<v Speaker 1>just to Esther here but the asylum. Because she's too

0:23:35.520 --> 0:23:38.560
<v Speaker 1>young for the straight up insane asylum, she's sent to

0:23:38.600 --> 0:23:41.119
<v Speaker 1>the Boys and Girls Aid Society, which is both like

0:23:41.200 --> 0:23:43.760
<v Speaker 1>if you're an orphan. If you're like a homeless youth,

0:23:43.800 --> 0:23:46.119
<v Speaker 1>it's where you'll go. But it's also where kids who

0:23:46.160 --> 0:23:48.200
<v Speaker 1>are declared insane go because they can't go to the

0:23:48.240 --> 0:23:49.560
<v Speaker 1>adult asylum quite yet.

0:23:49.640 --> 0:23:50.320
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:23:50.840 --> 0:23:53.840
<v Speaker 1>This is again a lot that's problematic about this, and

0:23:54.000 --> 0:23:57.840
<v Speaker 1>Esther fights like hell. As soon as she's institutionalized for days,

0:23:57.840 --> 0:24:00.000
<v Speaker 1>she would refuse to eat. She would just shout glory

0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:02.879
<v Speaker 1>to God and other such things. Her brother, this is

0:24:02.920 --> 0:24:05.880
<v Speaker 1>one of the Her brother George visits her and is like, hey,

0:24:06.040 --> 0:24:08.080
<v Speaker 1>me and your other brother, we really love you. We

0:24:08.080 --> 0:24:10.040
<v Speaker 1>want you to come home. And she was like, you

0:24:10.119 --> 0:24:11.520
<v Speaker 1>are only my brother's in name.

0:24:12.640 --> 0:24:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Ah.

0:24:13.760 --> 0:24:17.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that'll definitely fuck you up. That is not a

0:24:17.440 --> 0:24:18.359
<v Speaker 1>cool thing to say.

0:24:18.880 --> 0:24:22.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah you're well, you're fucking bitch.

0:24:22.160 --> 0:24:24.440
<v Speaker 2>That's what I would have said. Yeah, yeah, well you're

0:24:24.440 --> 0:24:26.200
<v Speaker 2>fucking stupid.

0:24:26.640 --> 0:24:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, she has reason to be angry, let's not anyway,

0:24:30.160 --> 0:24:33.480
<v Speaker 1>It's it's messy. So Esther may have been the most

0:24:33.480 --> 0:24:37.320
<v Speaker 1>dedicated of Crefield's believers. One night, she told the matron

0:24:37.400 --> 0:24:40.000
<v Speaker 1>of the facility that she's stuck at that God had

0:24:40.040 --> 0:24:42.840
<v Speaker 1>started speaking directly to her, and the matron for whatever

0:24:42.920 --> 0:24:44.720
<v Speaker 1>whatever she says. The woman who runs this is like,

0:24:44.800 --> 0:24:46.679
<v Speaker 1>I think she is going to murder one of the

0:24:46.720 --> 0:24:49.919
<v Speaker 1>other children. Yeah, we need to go Yeah, not unfair.

0:24:51.160 --> 0:24:52.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't think she's reasonable.

0:24:52.880 --> 0:24:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:24:53.480 --> 0:24:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So all of this enrages the community even more,

0:24:58.119 --> 0:25:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Like this is not nothing is fun about this anymore.

0:25:01.200 --> 0:25:03.720
<v Speaker 1>This is like a virus sweeping through our young women.

0:25:03.840 --> 0:25:06.240
<v Speaker 1>That's how the men are treating it, and like, we

0:25:06.320 --> 0:25:09.840
<v Speaker 1>need to fucking do something here. And Sophie co One

0:25:09.880 --> 0:25:11.760
<v Speaker 1>of the reasons I like her essay here is that

0:25:11.920 --> 0:25:13.760
<v Speaker 1>it does a good jomb of describing how a lot

0:25:13.800 --> 0:25:17.000
<v Speaker 1>of this anger comes not just out of the fact,

0:25:17.119 --> 0:25:18.920
<v Speaker 1>not out of the fact that like aspects of what

0:25:19.040 --> 0:25:21.639
<v Speaker 1>Joshua was doing are really abusive, which they are, but

0:25:21.800 --> 0:25:25.040
<v Speaker 1>out of the fact that Joshua has made the local

0:25:25.119 --> 0:25:30.520
<v Speaker 1>women ungovernable. Right, And here's what Sophie writes. The Corvalis

0:25:30.600 --> 0:25:33.159
<v Speaker 1>Times reassured the public of their feelings, saying that they

0:25:33.200 --> 0:25:36.119
<v Speaker 1>had good reason to be against Crefield for leading women,

0:25:36.240 --> 0:25:39.639
<v Speaker 1>girls and others into delusions and unnatural conditions, into a

0:25:39.680 --> 0:25:42.000
<v Speaker 1>state of mind where there is more frenzy than reason,

0:25:42.080 --> 0:25:45.280
<v Speaker 1>more folly than since people were not angry that he

0:25:45.359 --> 0:25:48.399
<v Speaker 1>had female followers, but that they were only female The

0:25:48.480 --> 0:25:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Corvalus Times also explained why this aspect was so significant,

0:25:51.920 --> 0:25:54.439
<v Speaker 1>claiming that the idea of women freely running around and

0:25:54.480 --> 0:25:57.040
<v Speaker 1>abandoning their husbands, fathers, and brothers was what made it

0:25:57.080 --> 0:25:59.359
<v Speaker 1>so maddening. She was out of the world and he

0:25:59.520 --> 0:26:01.320
<v Speaker 1>was of the earth, and she would have nothing to

0:26:01.359 --> 0:26:04.040
<v Speaker 1>do with him. The fact that women were engaging in

0:26:04.080 --> 0:26:07.359
<v Speaker 1>such wild behavior without men threw off the balance of Corbalis,

0:26:07.359 --> 0:26:10.000
<v Speaker 1>both in perceptions of social roles and in daily life.

0:26:10.400 --> 0:26:13.199
<v Speaker 1>Crawfield was altering the community already, and this was just

0:26:13.240 --> 0:26:13.800
<v Speaker 1>the beginning.

0:26:14.480 --> 0:26:18.840
<v Speaker 3>So I love that that was of course, that's the

0:26:18.880 --> 0:26:22.520
<v Speaker 3>main issue of these men is they're just like, listen,

0:26:22.600 --> 0:26:25.719
<v Speaker 3>I have no problem with like, you know, you guys

0:26:25.800 --> 0:26:28.840
<v Speaker 3>fucking like like you'd fuck my wife, but like I

0:26:29.119 --> 0:26:30.200
<v Speaker 3>have to watch.

0:26:30.880 --> 0:26:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I like that's my thing, bro.

0:26:34.760 --> 0:26:37.520
<v Speaker 3>Like The fact is is that like, it ain't fun

0:26:37.520 --> 0:26:40.400
<v Speaker 3>if the domies can't have none, dog, you're just you're

0:26:40.440 --> 0:26:42.560
<v Speaker 3>doing some real selfish shit.

0:26:43.600 --> 0:26:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, and you're letting them. You're letting them dress slutty,

0:26:46.840 --> 0:26:49.320
<v Speaker 1>you're letting them like they do their heads aren't covered.

0:26:49.359 --> 0:26:51.280
<v Speaker 1>They spend a lot of time about how these women

0:26:51.359 --> 0:26:52.560
<v Speaker 1>do not wear hats.

0:26:52.920 --> 0:26:56.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh my God, they're not even wearing a hat as hair.

0:26:56.600 --> 0:27:01.359
<v Speaker 1>Crazy. Yeah. Speaking of slutty ass hair, there's nothing slightier

0:27:01.400 --> 0:27:03.119
<v Speaker 1>than the sponsors of this podcast.

0:27:03.400 --> 0:27:07.040
<v Speaker 3>That's right when they show their hair. Oh my God,

0:27:07.119 --> 0:27:12.960
<v Speaker 3>does God cry? God cries the devil jacks off? Great sponsors.

0:27:13.520 --> 0:27:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. By the way, listen to Matt Leib's new three

0:27:16.720 --> 0:27:22.160

<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Yeah, God cries the devil jacks off.

0:27:28.000 --> 0:27:30.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Here's here's a little preview.

0:27:32.200 --> 0:27:35.879
<v Speaker 3>God cry the devil jacks off?

0:27:36.119 --> 0:27:39.639
<v Speaker 2>What sea so warm?

0:27:39.920 --> 0:27:44.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Oh, I'm sorry if you want to hear the

0:27:44.600 --> 0:27:47.679
<v Speaker 1>entire long version of that. Matt is performing every night

<v Speaker 1>at Hillsdale College for the next eleven months, So check

0:27:51.200 --> 0:27:51.679
<v Speaker 1>him out.

0:27:51.560 --> 0:27:54.199
<v Speaker 2>There, check me out in Hillsday.

0:27:55.480 --> 0:28:12.400
<v Speaker 5>All right, Ah, we are back back, baby, that's right, motherfucker.

0:28:16.119 --> 0:28:17.880
<v Speaker 1>So good night.

0:28:18.880 --> 0:28:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Bye.

0:28:19.800 --> 0:28:25.960
<v Speaker 1>Wait, shit, hello, we're back. So that December, Crafield addressed

0:28:26.160 --> 0:28:28.280
<v Speaker 1>his flock at the Hurt Home and told them that

0:28:28.320 --> 0:28:30.760
<v Speaker 1>God had given him a new message. He strips in

0:28:30.760 --> 0:28:32.560
<v Speaker 1>front of his colt after reading them the story of

0:28:32.640 --> 0:28:35.800
<v Speaker 1>David and Bethsheba, and he tells them. Clothing was intended

0:28:35.800 --> 0:28:37.640
<v Speaker 1>to cover up sin and shame, and if the heart

0:28:37.720 --> 0:28:40.080
<v Speaker 1>was made pure, there was no sin, therefore should be

0:28:40.160 --> 0:28:43.160
<v Speaker 1>no shame. So like you could be naked again, just

0:28:43.160 --> 0:28:45.240
<v Speaker 1>like in the Garden of Eden because you haven't sinned

0:28:45.240 --> 0:28:46.760
<v Speaker 1>since you're following me, right.

0:28:47.120 --> 0:28:51.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, it makes it actually kind of, it does sense.

0:28:52.120 --> 0:28:54.320
<v Speaker 1>It makes sense. But what it's the lead in for

0:28:54.480 --> 0:28:56.600
<v Speaker 1>as soon as he's got them all naked, they all

0:28:56.640 --> 0:28:59.320
<v Speaker 1>start having sex, right, is that is the goal that

0:28:59.360 --> 0:29:01.320
<v Speaker 1>he's leading into here, is like, once I get them

0:29:01.320 --> 0:29:04.000
<v Speaker 1>all naked, starting the orchie's gonna be a lot easier.

0:29:04.120 --> 0:29:06.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's way easier when you're have to fumble around

0:29:06.720 --> 0:29:08.640
<v Speaker 3>with Yeah, fruit of the loom under loose.

0:29:09.000 --> 0:29:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, as the book Holy Rulers describes quote and so,

0:29:13.400 --> 0:29:15.840
<v Speaker 1>orgies in the name of God and Purification were held

0:29:15.880 --> 0:29:18.600
<v Speaker 1>in Frank's house during the Christmas season of nineteen oh three.

0:29:18.800 --> 0:29:21.600
<v Speaker 1>Mothers were debauched in the presence of their daughters, and

0:29:21.720 --> 0:29:24.240
<v Speaker 1>daughters were debauched in the presence of their mothers, and

0:29:24.280 --> 0:29:27.520
<v Speaker 1>after all had been debauched purified, Joshua instructed the women

0:29:27.560 --> 0:29:30.560
<v Speaker 1>and girls to submit themselves to the lust of other men.

0:29:30.880 --> 0:29:33.160
<v Speaker 1>The only other men left in the in the flock

0:29:33.200 --> 0:29:36.280
<v Speaker 1>where Frank hurt, Charles Brooks, Sampson Levin's, and Lee Campbell,

0:29:36.680 --> 0:29:39.680
<v Speaker 1>all of them, that is, but Sarah hurt. She refused

0:29:39.720 --> 0:29:42.240
<v Speaker 1>to submit to him, to make love to him. Joshua

0:29:42.280 --> 0:29:44.479
<v Speaker 1>finally said that if Sarah would not submit to him,

0:29:44.520 --> 0:29:46.280
<v Speaker 1>he would drive her out of the church and God

0:29:46.320 --> 0:29:48.680
<v Speaker 1>would smite her. All she would see in the hereafter

0:29:48.880 --> 0:29:51.840
<v Speaker 1>was her soul plunging into an everlasting, burning, seething hell.

0:29:52.320 --> 0:29:55.120
<v Speaker 1>So rather than risk eternal damnation, Sarah risked hell on

0:29:55.160 --> 0:29:57.480
<v Speaker 1>earth and became a bride of Christ by making love

0:29:57.560 --> 0:29:59.400
<v Speaker 1>to her son in law in front of her children,

0:29:59.480 --> 0:30:01.240
<v Speaker 1>just as they had made love to others in front

0:30:01.240 --> 0:30:01.520
<v Speaker 1>of her.

0:30:02.040 --> 0:30:06.320
<v Speaker 2>It was almost cool. It was almost cool.

0:30:06.760 --> 0:30:09.240
<v Speaker 1>This is the first definite evidence I get that there

0:30:09.320 --> 0:30:11.760
<v Speaker 1>was like a significant amount of coercion involved in at

0:30:11.840 --> 0:30:13.280
<v Speaker 1>least some of these relationships.

0:30:13.360 --> 0:30:16.600
<v Speaker 3>I was like, like, yes, fuck, yeah, Frank's gonna fuck

0:30:17.280 --> 0:30:18.880
<v Speaker 3>you know, Samson or whatever.

0:30:19.200 --> 0:30:21.120
<v Speaker 2>And then you said that part. You should have just

0:30:21.200 --> 0:30:22.560
<v Speaker 2>left that part out, man.

0:30:22.680 --> 0:30:25.200
<v Speaker 1>So I know it's a lot. It's pretty abusive.

0:30:25.560 --> 0:30:26.440
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty now.

0:30:26.480 --> 0:30:29.760
<v Speaker 1>I think it escalates in its abusiveness over time. Damn,

0:30:29.960 --> 0:30:32.360
<v Speaker 1>I think part of why these people get so into

0:30:32.400 --> 0:30:35.480
<v Speaker 1>it is that for a while it is much less

0:30:35.760 --> 0:30:39.520
<v Speaker 1>abusive than aspects of their daily life. Yeah, but the

0:30:39.640 --> 0:30:41.240
<v Speaker 1>clamp down has occurred by this.

0:30:41.440 --> 0:30:42.800
<v Speaker 2>That's always how it goes, man.

0:30:42.920 --> 0:30:43.120
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:30:43.240 --> 0:30:45.440
<v Speaker 3>You start off, you're just like, you know, it's a

0:30:45.440 --> 0:30:47.800
<v Speaker 3>little bit of just like a little porn here and there,

0:30:47.840 --> 0:30:50.120
<v Speaker 3>and then one thing leads to another and you're like,

0:30:50.320 --> 0:30:54.440
<v Speaker 3>have to have pissing it. Everyone's pissing and pissing on

0:30:54.480 --> 0:30:55.560
<v Speaker 3>each other, and you're.

0:30:55.360 --> 0:30:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Like, what if I be calm? Is that relatable?

0:30:58.280 --> 0:31:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's very relatable, Matt. I'm glad. I'm glad that

0:31:01.520 --> 0:31:04.240
<v Speaker 1>we've we've increased your backstory with that at.

0:31:06.600 --> 0:31:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Buildings.

0:31:07.440 --> 0:31:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the fans are really putting together a more complete

0:31:10.880 --> 0:31:11.760
<v Speaker 1>picture of your life.

0:31:11.800 --> 0:31:14.360
<v Speaker 2>A heroin addict and he likes pisspoor with the fu.

0:31:15.080 --> 0:31:18.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, of course that's like, uh, I don't actually want

0:31:18.960 --> 0:31:24.320
<v Speaker 1>to continue that bit. So after quite a lot of orgies,

0:31:24.400 --> 0:31:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Joshua informed his followers of the new org chart. God is,

0:31:28.520 --> 0:31:31.120
<v Speaker 1>of course the head of the church, Joshua is the

0:31:31.360 --> 0:31:35.800
<v Speaker 1>visible head, Maud is now the spiritual mother, and Esther,

0:31:36.320 --> 0:31:39.840
<v Speaker 1>who is still in an asylum, was a saint and confusingly,

0:31:40.240 --> 0:31:42.280
<v Speaker 1>now the church's spiritual God.

0:31:43.000 --> 0:31:44.960
<v Speaker 2>And that's a weird or chart.

0:31:45.400 --> 0:31:47.640
<v Speaker 1>It is a weird org chart. I'm not sure how

0:31:47.680 --> 0:31:50.840
<v Speaker 1>that grabs. But he he tells them all that God

0:31:50.920 --> 0:31:53.840
<v Speaker 1>has chosen Esther to be the mother of the New Christ.

0:31:54.000 --> 0:31:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Now again, Esther is sixteen. She is also institutionalized. Crayfield

0:31:58.920 --> 0:32:01.160
<v Speaker 1>is still obsessed with her, though, because she is. Part

0:32:01.200 --> 0:32:03.040
<v Speaker 1>of why, at least part of why the authors of

0:32:03.080 --> 0:32:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Holy Rulers suggest he's obsessed with her is because at

0:32:05.360 --> 0:32:08.360
<v Speaker 1>this point she is the only virgin left in the church, right,

0:32:09.000 --> 0:32:12.120
<v Speaker 1>so he attempts to have several of his followers break

0:32:12.160 --> 0:32:15.400
<v Speaker 1>her free of her asylum. But her mother, sensing this,

0:32:15.600 --> 0:32:17.520
<v Speaker 1>being like, I'm pretty sure he's going to come for

0:32:17.600 --> 0:32:20.720
<v Speaker 1>her and he might succeed, moves his daughter or moves

0:32:20.760 --> 0:32:23.400
<v Speaker 1>her daughter to Illinois to be with her estranged father.

0:32:24.040 --> 0:32:26.760
<v Speaker 1>So daddy abandoned them a while ago. But she's like, hey,

0:32:26.880 --> 0:32:29.600
<v Speaker 1>I need you to like do your job by keeping

0:32:29.640 --> 0:32:30.840
<v Speaker 1>your daughter out of this cult.

0:32:31.480 --> 0:32:35.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like one thing, one thing, just one thing you

0:32:35.760 --> 0:32:39.520
<v Speaker 2>don't even have to know, and the kidnap her. Yes. Yeah.

0:32:40.040 --> 0:32:42.240
<v Speaker 1>So the men of the town, who'd spent weeks gathering

0:32:42.280 --> 0:32:45.560
<v Speaker 1>at night and vandalizing the Hurt House. Took to calling

0:32:45.640 --> 0:32:48.640
<v Speaker 1>themselves the white Caps because they're all wearing these hats

0:32:48.720 --> 0:32:51.400
<v Speaker 1>to recognize each other. And this ties into the fact

0:32:51.440 --> 0:32:54.680
<v Speaker 1>that again, like a decade after this, all of these

0:32:54.760 --> 0:32:56.720
<v Speaker 1>guys are going to be in the KKK. I was

0:32:56.800 --> 0:33:00.760
<v Speaker 1>right saying it's huge in Oregon. This is very much

0:33:00.920 --> 0:33:04.720
<v Speaker 1>in line with that period of our of our state history, right.

0:33:04.760 --> 0:33:07.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's where I was. I was like, why they

0:33:07.240 --> 0:33:08.840
<v Speaker 2>just have white hats around?

0:33:08.960 --> 0:33:12.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, very ready at but let's have it cover the

0:33:12.720 --> 0:33:14.880
<v Speaker 3>rest of the face and let's bring wizards.

0:33:14.560 --> 0:33:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Into this for some reason.

0:33:15.720 --> 0:33:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, these guys are so ready to be a vigilante mob. Again,

0:33:20.000 --> 0:33:21.800
<v Speaker 1>very little is happening in Corvallis.

0:33:22.200 --> 0:33:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:33:22.920 --> 0:33:26.360
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, these guys all eventually corner Crayfield and ov

0:33:26.520 --> 0:33:29.160
<v Speaker 1>hurt Son Frank outside of the hurt House and tar

0:33:29.320 --> 0:33:32.120
<v Speaker 1>and feather them sick. Uh Yeah, Yeah, I don't have

0:33:32.160 --> 0:33:34.239
<v Speaker 1>a problem with this. They have that coming. They've got

0:33:34.320 --> 0:33:34.760
<v Speaker 1>it coming.

0:33:34.920 --> 0:33:39.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I've been asking for a Yeah, worn for it.

0:33:39.480 --> 0:33:40.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god.

0:33:40.960 --> 0:33:44.320
<v Speaker 1>So one local paper describes the incident thus Lee quote,

0:33:44.440 --> 0:33:46.720
<v Speaker 1>there was no attempt at secrecy by those who took

0:33:46.760 --> 0:33:49.320
<v Speaker 1>part in the affair, none more masks and none affected

0:33:49.360 --> 0:33:52.200
<v Speaker 1>a diskies. The identity of many of the party is known,

0:33:52.280 --> 0:33:54.480
<v Speaker 1>and these are men of standing in character that a

0:33:54.560 --> 0:33:55.920
<v Speaker 1>boy or hoodlum in the party.

0:33:57.720 --> 0:34:02.120
<v Speaker 3>That's fun, Yeah, good stuff, standing members of society, you know,

0:34:02.360 --> 0:34:06.560
<v Speaker 3>turning a weird you know, rapist fault into yeah, little

0:34:06.600 --> 0:34:07.320
<v Speaker 3>birds or whatever?

0:34:07.560 --> 0:34:09.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Is this supposed to make you look like a bird?

0:34:09.920 --> 0:34:12.200
<v Speaker 2>I tarring a feathering thing?

0:34:12.320 --> 0:34:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So it's not clear to me if the police

0:34:15.400 --> 0:34:18.520
<v Speaker 1>refuse to intervene here because they supported the White Caps

0:34:18.560 --> 0:34:20.719
<v Speaker 1>and doing violence to Craffield, or if they're just like,

0:34:21.080 --> 0:34:24.080
<v Speaker 1>if we intervene, our neighbors will murder us. Right, both

0:34:24.120 --> 0:34:28.520
<v Speaker 1>are plausible, you know, sure, like either cowardice or complicity,

0:34:28.640 --> 0:34:32.399
<v Speaker 1>perhaps a mix of the two either to me, yep, yep.

0:34:32.640 --> 0:34:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Either way, nothing is done about this. Creffield promises that

0:34:36.160 --> 0:34:39.160
<v Speaker 1>he will not let the actions of criminals stop his preaching,

0:34:39.600 --> 0:34:41.920
<v Speaker 1>but he's also smart enough to know that, like, well,

0:34:41.960 --> 0:34:43.799
<v Speaker 1>if turing and feathering doesn't work, they're going to try

0:34:43.840 --> 0:34:47.000
<v Speaker 1>to murder me next, right, that's the only place to go. Yeah,

0:34:47.640 --> 0:34:51.640
<v Speaker 1>I should probably take evasive action. Yes, So he has

0:34:51.719 --> 0:34:54.719
<v Speaker 1>his followers clean him up and then still reeking of Tar.

0:34:55.360 --> 0:34:58.520
<v Speaker 1>He gets married, right, and after this he announces that

0:34:58.640 --> 0:35:01.880
<v Speaker 1>the cult will be moving to Portland together, inaugurating a

0:35:02.000 --> 0:35:06.200
<v Speaker 1>grand tradition that continues to this very day. Now, this

0:35:06.520 --> 0:35:09.440
<v Speaker 1>pisss off the men of Corvallis, right, who see their

0:35:09.560 --> 0:35:12.000
<v Speaker 1>chance to get their wives and daughters back from Creffield

0:35:12.080 --> 0:35:15.320
<v Speaker 1>slipping away. If he gets to this degenerate, big city,

0:35:15.520 --> 0:35:18.839
<v Speaker 1>right then there will be nothing stopping him, you know. Yeah,

0:35:19.480 --> 0:35:21.920
<v Speaker 1>And Portland is you know, it's still a much more

0:35:21.960 --> 0:35:23.919
<v Speaker 1>conservative place than it is today, but it is also

0:35:24.000 --> 0:35:26.000
<v Speaker 1>the kind of place where maybe a guy like him

0:35:26.040 --> 0:35:29.000
<v Speaker 1>could get away from the justice a bunch of drunk rednecks.

0:35:28.960 --> 0:35:32.759
<v Speaker 2>Right, He's one of many sex cult leaders you know. Yeah, yeah,

0:35:32.880 --> 0:35:33.479
<v Speaker 2>get in line.

0:35:33.880 --> 0:35:37.440
<v Speaker 1>So fortunately for them, for the men of Corvallis, Joshua

0:35:37.520 --> 0:35:40.719
<v Speaker 1>Craffield was incapable of exactly one thing, and that one

0:35:40.800 --> 0:35:44.120
<v Speaker 1>thing is not being on his bullshit. So as soon

0:35:44.960 --> 0:35:47.600
<v Speaker 1>as soon as the cult moves to Portland, he tells

0:35:47.640 --> 0:35:50.840
<v Speaker 1>them all that we're staying here until the annihilation of

0:35:51.000 --> 0:35:52.880
<v Speaker 1>material things, which I think is going to come in

0:35:52.880 --> 0:35:55.000
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks, So we'll move to China after

0:35:55.080 --> 0:35:57.919
<v Speaker 1>that to preach the gospel, right, that's the plan. Yeah,

0:35:58.239 --> 0:36:00.880
<v Speaker 1>well they wait for that. He renews his relationship with

0:36:00.960 --> 0:36:03.920
<v Speaker 1>the wife of Burgess Star, one of his early followers

0:36:03.960 --> 0:36:06.640
<v Speaker 1>who had left once you know, the wife fucking started.

0:36:07.080 --> 0:36:09.960
<v Speaker 1>So Star at this point goes to the cops. Because

0:36:10.000 --> 0:36:13.640
<v Speaker 1>adultery is illegal in Oregon. You can you can, it's punishable,

0:36:13.640 --> 0:36:16.080
<v Speaker 1>wipe to two years in jail. So and this is

0:36:16.600 --> 0:36:19.160
<v Speaker 1>it's very rare for this to get prosecuted. Not because

0:36:19.160 --> 0:36:21.960
<v Speaker 1>adultery is where I think adultery is about equally common

0:36:22.000 --> 0:36:25.600
<v Speaker 1>in every era. It's because if you're going to press charges,

0:36:25.680 --> 0:36:27.520
<v Speaker 1>you have to admit that your wife cheated on you,

0:36:27.719 --> 0:36:31.879
<v Speaker 1>and like most men would rather die. But it says

0:36:31.960 --> 0:36:33.960
<v Speaker 1>something about the kind of guy Burgess is that he

0:36:34.160 --> 0:36:37.480
<v Speaker 1>is willing to like kind of take this hit because

0:36:37.480 --> 0:36:40.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of men could press charges for this in Corvalis,

0:36:41.360 --> 0:36:44.160
<v Speaker 1>he decides to take this hit on himself, this burden

0:36:44.280 --> 0:36:47.600
<v Speaker 1>and report Joshua. And this opens the floodgates. And are

0:36:47.640 --> 0:36:50.160
<v Speaker 1>the twelve men who are all former cult members kind

0:36:50.200 --> 0:36:53.719
<v Speaker 1>of like come up afterwards and make similar allegations. And

0:36:53.800 --> 0:36:55.239
<v Speaker 1>it's one of those things, this is where things get

0:36:55.280 --> 0:36:57.920
<v Speaker 1>fucked up. Like obviously I don't think it's super fucked

0:36:57.960 --> 0:37:00.840
<v Speaker 1>up for Burgess, given the sitution situation, to do this,

0:37:01.239 --> 0:37:02.879
<v Speaker 1>But what is fucked up is what has to happen

0:37:02.960 --> 0:37:05.000
<v Speaker 1>to his wife, Donna as a result of this, because

0:37:06.320 --> 0:37:10.320
<v Speaker 1>since he's making this allegation for it to be taken seriously,

0:37:10.480 --> 0:37:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Donna Starr has to testify that she has slept with

0:37:13.080 --> 0:37:16.279
<v Speaker 1>Joshua Craffield, and she is still very much in the cult,

0:37:16.600 --> 0:37:18.400
<v Speaker 1>so you might think that it'd be difficult right for

0:37:18.520 --> 0:37:20.959
<v Speaker 1>her to get her to admit this, But in this case,

0:37:21.600 --> 0:37:24.000
<v Speaker 1>rampant sexism kind of comes to the rescue of the

0:37:24.040 --> 0:37:27.920
<v Speaker 1>men of Corvalis once again. So basically Burgess brings his

0:37:28.000 --> 0:37:31.000
<v Speaker 1>wife to the police station and the police are like, yeah,

0:37:31.040 --> 0:37:33.279
<v Speaker 1>we need you to sign this affid David saying that

0:37:33.440 --> 0:37:37.480
<v Speaker 1>you've had improper relations with Joshua Craffield. Well, we need

0:37:37.560 --> 0:37:39.360
<v Speaker 1>you to sign this affid David. They don't tell her

0:37:39.400 --> 0:37:41.560
<v Speaker 1>what it says, just tell her she has to sign it,

0:37:41.640 --> 0:37:44.600
<v Speaker 1>and she can't really read. So they have her sign

0:37:44.680 --> 0:37:46.640
<v Speaker 1>a thing that says I fucked the prophet, but she

0:37:46.760 --> 0:37:48.719
<v Speaker 1>doesn't actually know what she's signing, right.

0:37:48.840 --> 0:37:52.279
<v Speaker 2>Right, right, yeah, yeah, that sounds also like classic cop shit, right.

0:37:52.440 --> 0:37:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Very very classic cop shit, very classic misogyny shit, right,

0:37:56.239 --> 0:37:59.640
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, a warrant is issued for Joshua Craffield's arrest.

0:38:00.000 --> 0:38:03.759
<v Speaker 1>So this police dragnet starts across the northern chunk of

0:38:03.800 --> 0:38:08.640
<v Speaker 1>the state northwest Oregon. But Joshua Creffield fucking disappears, right,

0:38:08.719 --> 0:38:11.800
<v Speaker 1>this guy who had been everywhere, who was a publicity hound,

0:38:12.040 --> 0:38:14.920
<v Speaker 1>who's got all these cult members, suddenly nobody can fucking

0:38:15.040 --> 0:38:18.319
<v Speaker 1>find him. After a couple of weeks, locals assume, well, shit,

0:38:18.440 --> 0:38:20.920
<v Speaker 1>maybe he just left the state, right, and we're fucking

0:38:21.000 --> 0:38:24.080
<v Speaker 1>done with him, you know. So newspapers start publishing articles

0:38:24.120 --> 0:38:27.280
<v Speaker 1>celebrating the end of Crefieldism. We beat him, he ran scared,

0:38:27.640 --> 0:38:30.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, we got it. Hallelujah. The cult is over,

0:38:30.760 --> 0:38:34.320
<v Speaker 1>you know. So the men who had had their lives

0:38:34.520 --> 0:38:38.640
<v Speaker 1>upended by Crefield's cult, like Oah Hurt, tried to move forward.

0:38:39.160 --> 0:38:42.400
<v Speaker 1>This also proved difficult. His daughter, Maud, was still in

0:38:42.520 --> 0:38:45.960
<v Speaker 1>love with Joshua, and other cult members continued to congregate

0:38:46.080 --> 0:38:49.399
<v Speaker 1>curiously at their house. Maud still refused to call him

0:38:49.440 --> 0:38:51.960
<v Speaker 1>father because that was reserved for God, and so she

0:38:52.040 --> 0:38:55.120
<v Speaker 1>started calling her father old man Hurt. She turned all

0:38:55.200 --> 0:38:58.279
<v Speaker 1>of the pictures on their walls around, calling them vain,

0:38:58.680 --> 0:39:00.680
<v Speaker 1>and she would fast for days at a time. When

0:39:00.719 --> 0:39:03.160
<v Speaker 1>she would agree to eat, she would demand that she'd

0:39:03.160 --> 0:39:06.640
<v Speaker 1>be allowed to eat alone. Other female Holy Rollers were

0:39:06.680 --> 0:39:11.680
<v Speaker 1>similarly recalcitrant. Newspapers complained that these women in the colt would,

0:39:11.800 --> 0:39:14.400
<v Speaker 1>even now that Crafield was gone, we're still parading around

0:39:14.440 --> 0:39:18.920
<v Speaker 1>in public quote, with hair unbraided and unkempt, flowing entangled masses.

0:39:19.680 --> 0:39:23.120
<v Speaker 1>This was seen as evidence of mental illness. The Albany

0:39:23.160 --> 0:39:26.160
<v Speaker 1>Harold wrote, sane people don't go bare headed?

0:39:28.600 --> 0:39:31.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I love that. I love that. There was a

0:39:31.640 --> 0:39:33.920
<v Speaker 2>time where that was the hottest thing ever. Was just

0:39:34.080 --> 0:39:35.760
<v Speaker 2>like your hair show.

0:39:35.640 --> 0:39:39.960
<v Speaker 1>And not godless women. Yeah. Now for the kind of

0:39:40.239 --> 0:39:43.320
<v Speaker 1>sane people don't go bare headed line, Sophie Coe provides

0:39:43.360 --> 0:39:46.960
<v Speaker 1>some valuable context here. In her paper, Minerva Hyjer Reynolds

0:39:47.000 --> 0:39:49.360
<v Speaker 1>explained that one day her and her family were shocked

0:39:49.400 --> 0:39:51.480
<v Speaker 1>when we saw the women pass our house their hair

0:39:51.560 --> 0:39:54.919
<v Speaker 1>hanging down their backs, barefooted. Because of how confined women

0:39:54.960 --> 0:39:56.799
<v Speaker 1>were to their social roles, if they did not keep

0:39:56.880 --> 0:39:59.160
<v Speaker 1>up their image, even to the smallest detail of tying

0:39:59.239 --> 0:40:02.040
<v Speaker 1>up their hair, the public might believe they were crazy. Some,

0:40:02.320 --> 0:40:06.000
<v Speaker 1>including Esther Mitchell were taken to other places by their

0:40:06.040 --> 0:40:08.560
<v Speaker 1>families or partners to separate them from the lifestyle of

0:40:08.600 --> 0:40:13.799
<v Speaker 1>the Holy Rollers and Edmund Craffield. So you know, bad

0:40:14.360 --> 0:40:18.200
<v Speaker 1>not great. Mad Hurt gets institutionalized as a result of

0:40:18.239 --> 0:40:21.560
<v Speaker 1>this behavior she has admitted. About a month after Crefield disappears,

0:40:21.840 --> 0:40:25.239
<v Speaker 1>she is admitted to the Insane Asylum. The intake paperwork

0:40:25.360 --> 0:40:28.280
<v Speaker 1>declares that this is because she refused to wear quote

0:40:28.320 --> 0:40:31.400
<v Speaker 1>any covering for the head, and in fact, when she

0:40:31.560 --> 0:40:34.520
<v Speaker 1>was given bonnets and stuff, she would destroy them. May

0:40:34.600 --> 0:40:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Hurt was also committed to the asylum, so was Sophie Hartley,

0:40:37.920 --> 0:40:41.440
<v Speaker 1>and eventually basically all of the Holy Roller cult are

0:40:41.480 --> 0:40:43.520
<v Speaker 1>admitted to insane asylums.

0:40:43.680 --> 0:40:44.680
<v Speaker 2>And at least one.

0:40:44.760 --> 0:40:47.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean, like, the thing is is like some of

0:40:47.320 --> 0:40:52.600
<v Speaker 3>the behavior feels like psych like maybe psych word adjacent,

0:40:52.800 --> 0:40:56.480
<v Speaker 3>Like I would be like, yeah, maybe you know, I'll

0:40:56.520 --> 0:40:59.120
<v Speaker 3>get on a little bit of that Gaba Pensen, some

0:40:59.239 --> 0:41:01.560
<v Speaker 3>of that Sarah well Dog like that. I think that

0:41:01.840 --> 0:41:05.080
<v Speaker 3>that would help. But it sounds like they the reason

0:41:05.160 --> 0:41:07.640
<v Speaker 3>they chose was just of the time.

0:41:08.200 --> 0:41:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know, not wearing a hat.

0:41:09.840 --> 0:41:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Not wearing a hat, you know what else has hair?

0:41:12.080 --> 0:41:13.640
<v Speaker 2>The pussy put her and jail.

0:41:14.080 --> 0:41:16.879
<v Speaker 1>No, they're actually all very lucky that this was when

0:41:16.920 --> 0:41:18.520
<v Speaker 1>it was, because if it was a little bit later,

0:41:18.600 --> 0:41:21.640
<v Speaker 1>they'd have had their fucking brains scrambled by a mootomist.

0:41:22.000 --> 0:41:23.000
<v Speaker 2>That's a very good point.

0:41:23.080 --> 0:41:25.640
<v Speaker 1>That's she's going around hatless. Break her brain.

0:41:25.920 --> 0:41:30.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, break the nose. She's making me horny.

0:41:32.239 --> 0:41:34.160
<v Speaker 1>I should say, just to give you some context, they

0:41:34.160 --> 0:41:37.560
<v Speaker 1>are they have institutionalized basically the whole cult at this point,

0:41:37.600 --> 0:41:39.719
<v Speaker 1>which is fucked up. It is worth noting that in

0:41:39.800 --> 0:41:42.360
<v Speaker 1>this period of time, one out of every two hundred

0:41:42.440 --> 0:41:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Oregonians is institutionalized.

0:41:44.760 --> 0:41:45.520
<v Speaker 2>God damn.

0:41:46.080 --> 0:41:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Like they a lot of people get thrown in crazy

0:41:48.960 --> 0:41:52.200
<v Speaker 1>people jail, and basically all of them for no good reason.

0:41:52.640 --> 0:41:55.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and like, but is it weird that I'm like,

0:41:55.920 --> 0:42:01.720
<v Speaker 3>low key jealous of their robustal services budget.

0:42:02.239 --> 0:42:04.960
<v Speaker 1>I think you might want to google a little bit

0:42:05.360 --> 0:42:08.280
<v Speaker 1>about how institutions were in this period of time before

0:42:08.320 --> 0:42:09.040
<v Speaker 1>you get jealous.

0:42:09.280 --> 0:42:11.759
<v Speaker 2>You mean they didn't have jello putting pops and TV

0:42:12.000 --> 0:42:12.600
<v Speaker 2>in every room.

0:42:13.080 --> 0:42:15.280
<v Speaker 1>I'll have to google when jello was invented.

0:42:15.680 --> 0:42:18.840
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well we know TV was like steen hundreds.

0:42:18.600 --> 0:42:20.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, seventeen hundreds, So like, yeah, I think all in

0:42:20.960 --> 0:42:22.600
<v Speaker 1>the family is really big in this point.

0:42:22.680 --> 0:42:25.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. I mean that's good enough,

0:42:25.280 --> 0:42:30.360
<v Speaker 2>that's not bad. Yeah. So jello invented in eighteen ninety seven.

0:42:30.520 --> 0:42:32.440
<v Speaker 1>Mother, Oh yeah, they got jello.

0:42:32.600 --> 0:42:36.359
<v Speaker 2>Baby, they got jello. They got Jello. I take it back,

0:42:36.920 --> 0:42:37.759
<v Speaker 2>how this is good?

0:42:38.400 --> 0:42:42.880
<v Speaker 1>This is fine? Yeah, this is fine. So, as the

0:42:42.920 --> 0:42:47.480
<v Speaker 1>months after Joshua's disappearance ruled on, the scale of commitments

0:42:47.520 --> 0:42:50.239
<v Speaker 1>expanded as cult members refused to turn away from their

0:42:50.280 --> 0:42:53.640
<v Speaker 1>beliefs and reintegrate with society. The last of the cult

0:42:53.680 --> 0:42:57.520
<v Speaker 1>to be institutionalized was Sarah hurt Ovi's wife, after he

0:42:57.600 --> 0:43:01.000
<v Speaker 1>announced that she had been willing to sacrifice their adopted baby.

0:43:01.280 --> 0:43:04.279
<v Speaker 1>He's like, hey, actually, you know, and I said, we

0:43:04.320 --> 0:43:06.120
<v Speaker 1>were never going to kill that baby. I actually had

0:43:06.160 --> 0:43:09.440
<v Speaker 1>to stop my wife from killing that baby. And when

0:43:09.920 --> 0:43:12.960
<v Speaker 1>he wouldn't let them do it, Joshuas was like, all right, well,

0:43:13.280 --> 0:43:15.239
<v Speaker 1>we're not going to burn the baby alive, but you're

0:43:15.280 --> 0:43:16.680
<v Speaker 1>not allowed to feed it or wash it.

0:43:17.560 --> 0:43:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Jesus Christ.

0:43:19.440 --> 0:43:22.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he hurt later said, quote, my wife and daughters

0:43:22.800 --> 0:43:24.600
<v Speaker 1>came to believe that I was defiled and that this

0:43:24.760 --> 0:43:27.160
<v Speaker 1>little one was defiled. At the suggestion of that viper.

0:43:27.480 --> 0:43:30.360
<v Speaker 1>They talked of making the sacrifice of the child. They

0:43:30.360 --> 0:43:32.720
<v Speaker 1>would have burned her, along with their clothing, their furniture,

0:43:32.760 --> 0:43:34.800
<v Speaker 1>and the cats and dogs which they declared to be

0:43:34.880 --> 0:43:38.120
<v Speaker 1>of this world and unfit to live. They were all crazy, yes, crazy.

0:43:38.200 --> 0:43:40.279
<v Speaker 1>I was pleading, threatening and trying with all my power

0:43:40.360 --> 0:43:42.560
<v Speaker 1>to bring my wife and daughters back to sanity, but

0:43:42.680 --> 0:43:47.080
<v Speaker 1>without avail. And again this dude, who's generally considered to

0:43:47.160 --> 0:43:49.360
<v Speaker 1>be like the nicest guy in town is then like

0:43:49.760 --> 0:43:52.000
<v Speaker 1>I would, I would like to hurt Creyfield with a

0:43:52.080 --> 0:43:55.960
<v Speaker 1>bullet if I could. It's just such like such a

0:43:56.200 --> 0:43:58.839
<v Speaker 1>childish way of saying I want to shoot a guy. Yeah,

0:43:58.840 --> 0:44:00.320
<v Speaker 1>I want to kill him, but I woant to wound

0:44:00.440 --> 0:44:00.960
<v Speaker 1>him with a guy.

0:44:00.960 --> 0:44:02.680
<v Speaker 2>I just want to wound him, like in the knee.

0:44:03.000 --> 0:44:04.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, get him right in the knee.

0:44:04.920 --> 0:44:07.480
<v Speaker 3>Fleshy part of the thigh or something. But like, you know,

0:44:07.640 --> 0:44:08.880
<v Speaker 3>I want him to be okay.

0:44:09.200 --> 0:44:11.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, I don't want him to die. I'll take

0:44:11.239 --> 0:44:12.120
<v Speaker 1>care of him after.

0:44:12.080 --> 0:44:15.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, we can be friends. I just think

0:44:15.160 --> 0:44:17.440
<v Speaker 2>he deserves a little bullet. Bullet, It's just a little bullet.

0:44:17.440 --> 0:44:24.160
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, now after July or like so, Crayfield stays missing,

0:44:24.360 --> 0:44:27.359
<v Speaker 1>everyone's fucking locked up. And then on July twenty ninth,

0:44:27.400 --> 0:44:29.440
<v Speaker 1>when he's been missing, like four months something like.

0:44:29.480 --> 0:44:31.959
<v Speaker 3>That, he bursts out of the center of the earth

0:44:32.280 --> 0:44:34.520
<v Speaker 3>with the loveest man you've ever seen.

0:44:34.960 --> 0:44:39.960
<v Speaker 1>That you literally called it. That is exactly what happens. Yes,

0:44:40.719 --> 0:44:43.360
<v Speaker 1>so this is that's that's so funny.

0:44:43.760 --> 0:44:48.400
<v Speaker 2>So I feel like I've called multiple different like acts.

0:44:49.320 --> 0:44:52.040
<v Speaker 1>This is like, this one is weirdly exact because what

0:44:52.200 --> 0:44:56.120
<v Speaker 1>happens is the Hurts adopted son, Roy is like looking

0:44:56.239 --> 0:44:58.480
<v Speaker 1>for worms because he wants to go fishing, and the

0:44:58.520 --> 0:44:59.880
<v Speaker 1>best way to do him he like goes under the

0:45:00.040 --> 0:45:02.600
<v Speaker 1>foundation of the house to like dig for worms, and

0:45:02.719 --> 0:45:04.520
<v Speaker 1>he like as he gets under there, he like looks

0:45:04.600 --> 0:45:07.440
<v Speaker 1>up and he sees a naked, emaciated man with a

0:45:07.560 --> 0:45:12.280
<v Speaker 1>wild beard like staring at him with crazy eyes. And eventually,

0:45:12.440 --> 0:45:14.640
<v Speaker 1>because you know Roy's family was in the cult, He's like,

0:45:14.680 --> 0:45:19.319
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, that's Joshuama Crefield. He's naked and under

0:45:19.480 --> 0:45:23.120
<v Speaker 1>he's been living under our house, not eating for three

0:45:23.280 --> 0:45:24.359
<v Speaker 1>or four months.

0:45:24.960 --> 0:45:26.320
<v Speaker 2>Just quietly whispering.

0:45:28.280 --> 0:45:32.759
<v Speaker 1>That's almost exist. So it turns out that Maud and

0:45:32.880 --> 0:45:34.960
<v Speaker 1>May had been feeding him. That's why they were like

0:45:35.040 --> 0:45:37.440
<v Speaker 1>they would starve themselves, and they like, all eat, but

0:45:37.600 --> 0:45:41.440
<v Speaker 1>only if you don't watch. They've been giving him their food, right,

0:45:41.840 --> 0:45:44.880
<v Speaker 1>and then when they get institutionalized, he had started to starve.

0:45:45.520 --> 0:45:48.960
<v Speaker 1>So Roy, obviously having a good head on his shoulders,

0:45:49.000 --> 0:45:52.640
<v Speaker 1>calls the cops and is like, there's a cult leader

0:45:52.760 --> 0:45:55.960
<v Speaker 1>living under my house. And the cops show up and

0:45:56.040 --> 0:45:58.640
<v Speaker 1>they grab him and they're like, were you just gonna

0:45:58.719 --> 0:46:01.560
<v Speaker 1>like stay there until you starve to death? And Crayfield

0:46:01.719 --> 0:46:04.320
<v Speaker 1>was like, I went under the house because I was

0:46:04.360 --> 0:46:07.040
<v Speaker 1>told to hide away by the Lord. I was crucified

0:46:07.080 --> 0:46:09.480
<v Speaker 1>while I was there. God came to me. I was

0:46:09.520 --> 0:46:11.560
<v Speaker 1>to suffer from my people. I was to die from

0:46:11.640 --> 0:46:12.840
<v Speaker 1>hunger and from the cold.

0:46:13.680 --> 0:46:18.360
<v Speaker 2>Soone's patting him on the back, all right, buddy, sure, yeah, yeah, sure.

0:46:18.719 --> 0:46:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Let's get you somewhere else.

0:46:20.080 --> 0:46:22.320
<v Speaker 2>Are you hungry, you're hungry, let's go.

0:46:22.920 --> 0:46:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Well, they do feed him next, so he gets he

0:46:25.600 --> 0:46:27.799
<v Speaker 1>gets this is where I said, you were exactly right.

0:46:28.120 --> 0:46:30.400
<v Speaker 1>They pull him out of this hole in the ground,

0:46:30.680 --> 0:46:33.960
<v Speaker 1>naked and in broad daylight. The men of Corvallis, who

0:46:33.960 --> 0:46:36.839
<v Speaker 1>have assembled to watch this, get to see why he's

0:46:36.880 --> 0:46:40.400
<v Speaker 1>so popular, Because this dude is a hung leg of

0:46:40.760 --> 0:46:45.440
<v Speaker 1>fucking stallion. Like the sheriff step you describes it as

0:46:45.600 --> 0:46:47.640
<v Speaker 1>wonderfully endowed by Mona natcha.

0:46:50.239 --> 0:46:51.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh I love it.

0:46:51.719 --> 0:46:59.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, everyone just just like collectively went, oh, okay, this

0:46:59.200 --> 0:47:00.640
<v Speaker 3>all makes a lot more sense.

0:47:01.960 --> 0:47:04.480
<v Speaker 2>We should get my wife out of the insane side.

0:47:05.880 --> 0:47:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh fuck, they didn't say it was massive. Yeah, oh

0:47:11.160 --> 0:47:11.600
<v Speaker 2>my god.

0:47:12.040 --> 0:47:14.960
<v Speaker 1>So he gets taken to Portland. He's put in jail

0:47:15.120 --> 0:47:17.360
<v Speaker 1>and like they feed him and stuff. He's given some

0:47:17.520 --> 0:47:20.280
<v Speaker 1>time to regain his strength before they put him on trial,

0:47:20.880 --> 0:47:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Sophie co writes quote. Appearing for Judge Alfred F. Sears,

0:47:24.560 --> 0:47:28.080
<v Speaker 1>Crefield continued to speak as Joshua in court. He claimed

0:47:28.120 --> 0:47:29.879
<v Speaker 1>that he did not need a lawyer and that God

0:47:29.920 --> 0:47:32.200
<v Speaker 1>would will whatever was meant to happen. If he were

0:47:32.280 --> 0:47:35.760
<v Speaker 1>found guilty, he would he would receive it joyfully. Donnas

0:47:35.760 --> 0:47:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Starr admitted to the actions that Creffield was accused of,

0:47:38.280 --> 0:47:40.920
<v Speaker 1>claiming that she was inspired by God and truly believed

0:47:40.920 --> 0:47:44.120
<v Speaker 1>that relations with Creffield allowed her to purify herself. Four

0:47:44.160 --> 0:47:47.319
<v Speaker 1>other witnesses testified against Creffield, claiming that not only had

0:47:47.360 --> 0:47:50.640
<v Speaker 1>he committed adultery with many women, but also that was

0:47:50.680 --> 0:47:53.120
<v Speaker 1>the reason that their mother's daughters and sisters were going

0:47:53.160 --> 0:47:55.800
<v Speaker 1>insane was because he had made them brides of Christ.

0:47:56.160 --> 0:47:59.000
<v Speaker 1>The evening Telegram described the courtroom as being crowded to

0:47:59.120 --> 0:48:02.359
<v Speaker 1>all doors in all forenoon by staring morbid crowd bent

0:48:02.480 --> 0:48:04.919
<v Speaker 1>on catching a glimpse of the religious rank.

0:48:05.760 --> 0:48:09.440
<v Speaker 3>Now just the whole jury and judge while he's talking,

0:48:09.520 --> 0:48:14.200
<v Speaker 3>are just staring at his pants, going, come on, I want.

0:48:14.080 --> 0:48:14.400
<v Speaker 2>To see it.

0:48:15.000 --> 0:48:16.920
<v Speaker 1>I want to see it, want to see in twitch

0:48:17.080 --> 0:48:24.399
<v Speaker 1>like a cat's tale. So he acting as his own

0:48:24.480 --> 0:48:27.960
<v Speaker 1>lawyer and justifying his crimes by saying he had to

0:48:28.040 --> 0:48:31.640
<v Speaker 1>make brides of Christ. Doesn't in a winning strategy, doesn't

0:48:31.640 --> 0:48:34.680
<v Speaker 1>work out, No, no, no. Crefield also refuses to call

0:48:34.719 --> 0:48:37.800
<v Speaker 1>any witnesses in his defense, and instead he quotes the

0:48:37.880 --> 0:48:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Bible repeatedly and describes as sex with Donna as a

0:48:41.040 --> 0:48:45.040
<v Speaker 1>purification right. He is found guilty and sentenced to a

0:48:45.080 --> 0:48:48.360
<v Speaker 1>bit less than two years in prison. He serves seventeen

0:48:48.440 --> 0:48:50.680
<v Speaker 1>months and is let out early on good behavior and

0:48:50.840 --> 0:48:54.719
<v Speaker 1>as thanks for performing community service. While inside, he moderates

0:48:54.800 --> 0:48:57.920
<v Speaker 1>his behavior slightly and some people start to think like, oh,

0:48:58.000 --> 0:49:00.359
<v Speaker 1>maybe he's turning over a new leaf. But then as

0:49:00.400 --> 0:49:02.720
<v Speaker 1>soon as he's let out, he gets right back together

0:49:02.840 --> 0:49:05.080
<v Speaker 1>with his followers and the Hurt family. They've all been

0:49:05.160 --> 0:49:08.440
<v Speaker 1>let out of the institution now, and he's like, hey, guys,

0:49:08.920 --> 0:49:13.799
<v Speaker 1>let's all get back together, right God, I'm back. Yeah.

0:49:14.040 --> 0:49:14.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:49:14.640 --> 0:49:17.200
<v Speaker 1>So he had, you know, he had married Maud since

0:49:17.239 --> 0:49:21.320
<v Speaker 1>he couldn't marry Esther, but they got divorced while he

0:49:21.440 --> 0:49:23.520
<v Speaker 1>was in jail, so he remarries her as soon as

0:49:23.560 --> 0:49:26.120
<v Speaker 1>they're out. She seems to be down with this. Maud

0:49:26.239 --> 0:49:28.480
<v Speaker 1>is definitely one of the women who is all on

0:49:28.600 --> 0:49:31.520
<v Speaker 1>board with this cult. So is Esther Mitchell. You know,

0:49:31.640 --> 0:49:33.520
<v Speaker 1>she had been moved to Illinois to live with her

0:49:33.560 --> 0:49:36.239
<v Speaker 1>absent and uncaring father, and as soon as she hears

0:49:36.239 --> 0:49:39.440
<v Speaker 1>that Crefiel's out of jail, she moves right back to Oregon.

0:49:39.640 --> 0:49:42.120
<v Speaker 1>So she has become even more devoted in her time

0:49:42.200 --> 0:49:44.640
<v Speaker 1>away and would now tell anyone who would listen that

0:49:44.719 --> 0:49:48.279
<v Speaker 1>Joshua is not just a prophet but God himself. Now

0:49:49.320 --> 0:49:51.759
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of unclear exactly how this all times out,

0:49:52.080 --> 0:49:55.759
<v Speaker 1>but soon after this point, Joshua starts stops referring to

0:49:55.880 --> 0:49:58.280
<v Speaker 1>himself as an apostle searching for the bride of Christ,

0:49:58.640 --> 0:50:02.000
<v Speaker 1>and starts declaring himself to just be Jesus. Right, that's

0:50:02.120 --> 0:50:04.080
<v Speaker 1>that's where we are now, right. I am the second

0:50:04.120 --> 0:50:07.479
<v Speaker 1>Coming all that good stuff. Yeah, it's a third act.

0:50:07.640 --> 0:50:11.399
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's uh, he's got to go there, he's

0:50:11.440 --> 0:50:13.160
<v Speaker 1>got to go. There's nowhere else to go.

0:50:13.360 --> 0:50:14.200
<v Speaker 2>But I am God.

0:50:14.680 --> 0:50:17.239
<v Speaker 1>And you know what else signifies that we're in the

0:50:17.320 --> 0:50:21.719
<v Speaker 1>third act? What our second dad break?

0:50:23.680 --> 0:50:26.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I love ads, man, so do I. I love

0:50:26.560 --> 0:50:28.880
<v Speaker 2>when they tell me what to buy. Oh that's my

0:50:29.000 --> 0:50:30.920
<v Speaker 2>favorite because I don't know what to buy most of

0:50:30.960 --> 0:50:31.279
<v Speaker 2>the time.

0:50:31.800 --> 0:50:34.440
<v Speaker 3>Well that's like I guess I'll just buy drugs and

0:50:34.520 --> 0:50:37.440
<v Speaker 3>they're like, no, have you ever thought of buying a lawnmower.

0:50:37.320 --> 0:50:40.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, a meal box, a bed, a mattress.

0:50:40.480 --> 0:50:43.680
<v Speaker 2>Exactly, or an online therapy.

0:50:44.440 --> 0:50:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Sure, check it all out, all of it. Buy everything.

0:50:56.640 --> 0:51:02.800
<v Speaker 1>We're back back way, baby. So we're talking Jay Crizzy

0:51:03.040 --> 0:51:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Joshua Craffield. So yeah, he's back. He's walking around and

0:51:08.080 --> 0:51:10.640
<v Speaker 1>basically all of his cult members are like, life Share

0:51:10.680 --> 0:51:13.600
<v Speaker 1>has sucked without you because it's Oregon in nineteen oh six.

0:51:14.200 --> 0:51:15.279
<v Speaker 1>Can we join up again?

0:51:15.400 --> 0:51:15.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:51:16.520 --> 0:51:19.359
<v Speaker 1>Nobody else here has as good dick game. Let's get

0:51:19.440 --> 0:51:22.319
<v Speaker 1>back into it, right, Sophie co writes quote as men

0:51:22.400 --> 0:51:25.200
<v Speaker 1>were experiencing their wives and daughters, abandoning them to follow

0:51:25.280 --> 0:51:28.279
<v Speaker 1>Craffield for a second time. Anger rose again among those

0:51:28.320 --> 0:51:31.720
<v Speaker 1>in Corvallis. Many were plotting against Craffield, some half heartedly

0:51:31.800 --> 0:51:34.880
<v Speaker 1>and some very seriously. Lewis Hartley, a father of one

0:51:34.880 --> 0:51:37.440
<v Speaker 1>of the brides, attempted to shoot Craffield five times, but

0:51:37.560 --> 0:51:40.120
<v Speaker 1>each time the gun failed to shoot a bullet. Now,

0:51:40.160 --> 0:51:42.760
<v Speaker 1>there was a belief within the cult that Craffield being Joshua,

0:51:42.880 --> 0:51:43.760
<v Speaker 1>could not be killed.

0:51:44.320 --> 0:51:49.399
<v Speaker 2>So like, that's uh, that's not going to work out. Well,

0:51:49.480 --> 0:51:51.120
<v Speaker 2>I can feel that. No, nope.

0:51:51.360 --> 0:51:53.279
<v Speaker 1>And this is, by the way, the fact that this

0:51:53.440 --> 0:51:56.200
<v Speaker 1>guy fails to shoot him six times is less miraculous

0:51:56.239 --> 0:51:59.560
<v Speaker 1>than it may sound, because Hartley does not know anything

0:51:59.600 --> 0:52:03.880
<v Speaker 1>about So he buys a thirty two caliber revolver, and

0:52:03.960 --> 0:52:06.720
<v Speaker 1>then he buys thirty two caliber AMMO. But his revolver

0:52:06.960 --> 0:52:10.400
<v Speaker 1>is a center fire revolver, and he buys rim fire

0:52:10.560 --> 0:52:13.759
<v Speaker 1>thirty two caliber AMMO. And the difference between the two.

0:52:13.840 --> 0:52:16.120
<v Speaker 1>So bullets have a thing called a primer in them, right,

0:52:16.200 --> 0:52:18.800
<v Speaker 1>and the hammer strikes the primer, the primer ignites the

0:52:18.840 --> 0:52:23.720
<v Speaker 1>gunpowder that makes bullet go right. Sure, most modern bullets

0:52:23.719 --> 0:52:25.839
<v Speaker 1>are centerfire. So there's a little primer. If you look

0:52:25.840 --> 0:52:27.520
<v Speaker 1>at the back of a bullet, there's this little silver

0:52:27.680 --> 0:52:29.520
<v Speaker 1>thing that's the primer in the back of the bullet.

0:52:29.960 --> 0:52:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Rim fire, it's on the rim. So if you're if

0:52:32.440 --> 0:52:34.479
<v Speaker 1>you're shooting a rim fire bullet out of a center

0:52:34.560 --> 0:52:38.560
<v Speaker 1>fire gun, the hammer, the firing pin is not going

0:52:38.640 --> 0:52:40.719
<v Speaker 1>to hit the fucking primer, right, It.

0:52:40.800 --> 0:52:43.560
<v Speaker 2>Just totally yeah, no, I get it now. Yeah, I'm

0:52:43.560 --> 0:52:45.280
<v Speaker 2>the wrong bullet. I know about guns.

0:52:45.719 --> 0:52:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this is this is it. I just want to

0:52:47.960 --> 0:52:50.840
<v Speaker 1>note it's not inexplicable, right, this guy bought the wrong bullet.

0:52:50.880 --> 0:52:58.399
<v Speaker 2>You're saying, you're saying he's not God Robert because his hog. Yeah,

0:52:58.680 --> 0:52:59.960
<v Speaker 2>he's got a god size houll.

0:53:00.440 --> 0:53:03.960
<v Speaker 1>He does have a god sized hog. And fortunately the

0:53:04.040 --> 0:53:07.600
<v Speaker 1>men of corvalis not arms experts, which really gonna work

0:53:07.640 --> 0:53:08.239
<v Speaker 1>out for him.

0:53:08.600 --> 0:53:13.480
<v Speaker 2>One god sized hog or a hundred hog sized gods?

0:53:14.200 --> 0:53:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh man, keep going.

0:53:16.120 --> 0:53:20.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if they're havevelina sized I bet repeatedly killing

0:53:20.800 --> 0:53:23.480
<v Speaker 1>like God in havevelina form would be delicious.

0:53:24.080 --> 0:53:27.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I agree, yeah, yummers, yummers.

0:53:28.120 --> 0:53:34.360
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, Crefield himself veers in this story between like

0:53:34.480 --> 0:53:38.239
<v Speaker 1>again being this monster abusive monster and also being like

0:53:39.080 --> 0:53:42.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of you have to you have to accept Again,

0:53:42.640 --> 0:53:45.000
<v Speaker 1>all of these women were freed and spent two years

0:53:45.080 --> 0:53:46.880
<v Speaker 1>not under his influence, and as soon as he came back,

0:53:46.920 --> 0:53:48.880
<v Speaker 1>we're like, yes, this is much better than our lives.

0:53:49.120 --> 0:53:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Let's go back, right. That's that's an undeniable aspect of

0:53:53.719 --> 0:53:57.280
<v Speaker 1>this story. He is, of course, also a giant asshole.

0:53:57.360 --> 0:53:59.000
<v Speaker 1>And one of the things that happens is they're all

0:53:59.080 --> 0:54:01.960
<v Speaker 1>getting out of town together. The city of San Francisco

0:54:02.080 --> 0:54:04.640
<v Speaker 1>burns to the ground after the nineteen oh six were earthquake,

0:54:04.760 --> 0:54:07.560
<v Speaker 1>killing a shitload of people, and Joshua is like, I

0:54:07.719 --> 0:54:11.200
<v Speaker 1>did that. I was angry at San Francisco, so I

0:54:11.360 --> 0:54:14.000
<v Speaker 1>killed them all. I'll do it to Portland and Seattle

0:54:14.239 --> 0:54:16.600
<v Speaker 1>if you fuck with us, I'll burn your cities down.

0:54:17.320 --> 0:54:20.040
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco is a warning shot, motherfuckers.

0:54:20.480 --> 0:54:21.040
<v Speaker 2>I love that.

0:54:21.560 --> 0:54:24.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he here's about a big fire and he goes like, hey, guys,

0:54:24.600 --> 0:54:25.880
<v Speaker 3>remember when I made fire?

0:54:26.200 --> 0:54:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, that was me. Yeah, it's very funny. So again,

0:54:31.000 --> 0:54:34.160
<v Speaker 1>it remains up for debate how much Creffield really believed,

0:54:34.239 --> 0:54:35.800
<v Speaker 1>but he seems to have been aware that this was

0:54:35.840 --> 0:54:39.320
<v Speaker 1>a bluff because immediately after making this threat, he leads

0:54:39.360 --> 0:54:41.799
<v Speaker 1>his cult on a star fation march out of town

0:54:41.960 --> 0:54:44.640
<v Speaker 1>and towards the location on the Oregon coast along the

0:54:44.719 --> 0:54:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Yatchetts River. Now along the way, Creffield's preferences for nudity increased,

0:54:50.560 --> 0:54:53.680
<v Speaker 1>and so his followers basically don't bring any clothes with them.

0:54:53.760 --> 0:54:55.960
<v Speaker 1>They have like one blanket for the whole group. And

0:54:56.680 --> 0:54:58.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you've ever been to the coast

0:54:58.080 --> 0:55:00.680
<v Speaker 1>of Oregon, but the dead in the dead of summer,

0:55:00.760 --> 0:55:05.640
<v Speaker 1>it's not warm, right, Like it's a cold coaches. Yes, yes,

0:55:06.040 --> 0:55:09.200
<v Speaker 1>it's not a warm place. No, And it's it's warmer

0:55:09.280 --> 0:55:11.319
<v Speaker 1>today than it would have been in nineteen oh six.

0:55:11.440 --> 0:55:13.640
<v Speaker 1>So you have to think pretty cult miserable to be

0:55:13.719 --> 0:55:16.600
<v Speaker 1>a naked person on the Oregon coast in nineteen oh six.

0:55:17.239 --> 0:55:20.120
<v Speaker 1>So he leads them all to like literally the middle

0:55:20.160 --> 0:55:22.880
<v Speaker 1>of nowhere they have nothing, and then is like, all right,

0:55:22.920 --> 0:55:26.040
<v Speaker 1>you guys stay here, I'm gonna go to Seattle with

0:55:26.239 --> 0:55:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Maud and we're gonna like we're gonna figure some shit

0:55:29.200 --> 0:55:30.320
<v Speaker 1>out right, We're gonna.

0:55:30.120 --> 0:55:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Like start a band. Yeah, it's just chill here for

0:55:33.800 --> 0:55:34.000
<v Speaker 2>a bit.

0:55:34.120 --> 0:55:35.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna find you guys a new home. No, worry.

0:55:36.280 --> 0:55:39.520
<v Speaker 1>So by this point the men of corp Vallis are

0:55:39.760 --> 0:55:43.239
<v Speaker 1>shitting themselves with rage. Two men who had family in

0:55:43.280 --> 0:55:46.719
<v Speaker 1>the cult, George Mitchell and Edwin Baldwin, armed themselves and

0:55:46.880 --> 0:55:51.520
<v Speaker 1>set off on separate vengeance quests to kill Joshua. Mitchell

0:55:51.640 --> 0:55:53.640
<v Speaker 1>is the one who proves most adept at the task,

0:55:53.840 --> 0:55:56.960
<v Speaker 1>tracking maud Heart to Seattle and Hurt to Seattle and

0:55:57.080 --> 0:56:00.080
<v Speaker 1>sneaking around until he he spots the Messiah and his

0:56:00.160 --> 0:56:04.239
<v Speaker 1>wife outside of a convenience store. So he they're like

0:56:04.440 --> 0:56:07.560
<v Speaker 1>milling around outside of the fucking well. It's uh, it's

0:56:07.640 --> 0:56:10.279
<v Speaker 1>the Northwest. That's side of the plaid pantry, and so

0:56:10.440 --> 0:56:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if they have those in Washington whatever.

0:56:12.120 --> 0:56:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Maybe is seven to eleven, he pulls out a revolver

0:56:14.200 --> 0:56:17.640
<v Speaker 1>and he shoots it. Edmund Joshua Creffield fucking dead.

0:56:17.760 --> 0:56:21.440
<v Speaker 2>Like, oh no, yeah, he gets to eat those Halapano

0:56:21.520 --> 0:56:22.280
<v Speaker 2>cream trees.

0:56:22.160 --> 0:56:24.839
<v Speaker 1>Rollers, Yeah nah, he sure doesn't. He shared does.

0:56:24.880 --> 0:56:27.120
<v Speaker 2>Comes out and there were two for three point thirty three.

0:56:29.320 --> 0:56:30.080
<v Speaker 2>They're really good.

0:56:30.200 --> 0:56:33.520
<v Speaker 1>So he is not a good dude. I should say

0:56:33.560 --> 0:56:36.760
<v Speaker 1>this right now, Mitchell, because his primary complaint with Creffield

0:56:36.880 --> 0:56:41.879
<v Speaker 1>is that by sleeping with his sisters, Joshua had ruined them, right, Yeah, yeah,

0:56:42.000 --> 0:56:46.560
<v Speaker 1>so again, nobody's not no clear good guy here, sure,

0:56:46.840 --> 0:56:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Sophie worse, Yeah, yeah, one is worse. One is worse.

0:56:50.480 --> 0:56:53.719
<v Speaker 1>Sophie co analyzes this further. The fact that women were

0:56:53.760 --> 0:56:56.200
<v Speaker 1>still considered the lesser sex created a role that helped

0:56:56.239 --> 0:56:58.560
<v Speaker 1>make an enemy out of Creffield while withholding any power

0:56:58.600 --> 0:57:01.480
<v Speaker 1>given to his female followers for straying from their social role.

0:57:02.000 --> 0:57:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Arguments of the time included that by leaving their home

0:57:04.480 --> 0:57:07.960
<v Speaker 1>and husband overtaxed their brains and their mental agitation caused

0:57:08.000 --> 0:57:10.919
<v Speaker 1>wounds that would never heal. Women were not blamed, however,

0:57:11.040 --> 0:57:13.560
<v Speaker 1>for leaving their families in previous lives. There was a

0:57:13.640 --> 0:57:16.680
<v Speaker 1>general agreement throughout the public, impressed that these brides of

0:57:16.720 --> 0:57:19.280
<v Speaker 1>Christ were not to blame for their misguided devotion to

0:57:19.360 --> 0:57:22.960
<v Speaker 1>him because by nature they were weak creatures easily led astray.

0:57:24.120 --> 0:57:30.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you know, yeah, there's a lie.

0:57:30.320 --> 0:57:35.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, Wow, Sophie's giving you quite a lok. Just kiddy,

0:57:36.680 --> 0:57:37.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to keep my mouth shut.

0:57:38.600 --> 0:57:46.280
<v Speaker 3>So Mitchell so easily digmatized role fucking clearly.

0:57:47.400 --> 0:57:51.160
<v Speaker 1>So No, that's Mitchell ghost on Mitchell Ghosts on trial

0:57:51.240 --> 0:57:54.720
<v Speaker 1>at Seattle and officials in Portland try to extrad dite him.

0:57:54.720 --> 0:57:57.080
<v Speaker 1>They're like, we should try him here because his crimes

0:57:57.120 --> 0:57:59.640
<v Speaker 1>were mostly here except for the murder part. But like,

0:57:59.760 --> 0:58:02.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, so they were like, yeah, they try to

0:58:02.720 --> 0:58:05.880
<v Speaker 1>extradite him, but everyone in Washington is like, no, you

0:58:06.040 --> 0:58:08.400
<v Speaker 1>can't let them hold the trial in Oregon. They'll just

0:58:08.600 --> 0:58:11.440
<v Speaker 1>murder the man. Everyone in Oregon is too lawless and

0:58:11.520 --> 0:58:17.920
<v Speaker 1>anarchic for a real trial. And in fact, there's a

0:58:18.080 --> 0:58:21.680
<v Speaker 1>quote from some Washington prosecutors that in Oregon, lynch, mobs

0:58:21.680 --> 0:58:25.080
<v Speaker 1>and anarchy rule. So again, nothing has changed. Yeah, nothing

0:58:25.120 --> 0:58:27.560
<v Speaker 1>at all has changed. Yeah, it's all exactly the same.

0:58:28.080 --> 0:58:30.959
<v Speaker 1>So they have the trial here, and despite the fact

0:58:30.960 --> 0:58:34.760
<v Speaker 1>that Mitchell had absolutely committed the crime, he was declared

0:58:34.880 --> 0:58:37.720
<v Speaker 1>not guilty basically because everyone of the jury was like, well,

0:58:37.720 --> 0:58:39.480
<v Speaker 1>I would have done the same thing in his shoes.

0:58:39.600 --> 0:58:39.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:58:40.080 --> 0:58:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. This winds up not being a good thing for

0:58:43.520 --> 0:58:46.360
<v Speaker 1>George Mitchell, though, because the jury had been debating not

0:58:46.480 --> 0:58:50.720
<v Speaker 1>guilty by reason of insanity, insanity, or guilty right. If

0:58:50.760 --> 0:58:53.000
<v Speaker 1>it had been not guilty by reason of insanity, he

0:58:53.000 --> 0:58:55.480
<v Speaker 1>would have been remanded to state custody. As it was,

0:58:55.680 --> 0:58:58.440
<v Speaker 1>he walks out of court a free man, right, this

0:58:58.600 --> 0:59:00.280
<v Speaker 1>is going to be a problem for him because his

0:59:00.440 --> 0:59:06.440
<v Speaker 1>sister is Esther, right yeah, and Esther. So Esther's like, hey, brother,

0:59:07.000 --> 0:59:10.120
<v Speaker 1>let's meet up at the trade station to talk about

0:59:10.520 --> 0:59:11.800
<v Speaker 1>you killing my cult leader.

0:59:12.280 --> 0:59:15.080
<v Speaker 2>And so he had to know this, he had to know.

0:59:15.400 --> 0:59:18.160
<v Speaker 1>So he shows up and Esther shoots him in the

0:59:18.200 --> 0:59:21.360
<v Speaker 1>back of the head with the pocket pistol, just fucking

0:59:21.560 --> 0:59:27.680
<v Speaker 1>guns her brother down. Now, you won't be surprised to

0:59:27.720 --> 0:59:30.320
<v Speaker 1>hear this becomes quite a story in the media.

0:59:30.600 --> 0:59:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, in the newspapers.

0:59:32.160 --> 0:59:35.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they're they're finally, they're like, finally, we don't have

0:59:35.280 --> 0:59:37.520
<v Speaker 3>to write about a fucking bicyclist.

0:59:37.640 --> 0:59:40.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, And it was you know, the newspaper

0:59:41.040 --> 0:59:43.480
<v Speaker 1>wants the news, like keeps interviewing her. They want her

0:59:43.520 --> 0:59:45.880
<v Speaker 1>to say God told me to do it or whatever,

0:59:46.080 --> 0:59:48.120
<v Speaker 1>or I was in a religious frenzy. But all she'll

0:59:48.160 --> 0:59:51.240
<v Speaker 1>say is like, I did the same thing my brother did. Right,

0:59:51.640 --> 0:59:54.200
<v Speaker 1>the law is inadequate to the task of punishing a

0:59:54.280 --> 0:59:56.760
<v Speaker 1>murderer because he was acquitted. So I did the same

0:59:56.840 --> 0:59:58.920
<v Speaker 1>thing to him that he did to Crayfield. And she

0:59:59.080 --> 1:00:03.160
<v Speaker 1>uses kind of the same justification your brother has done. Yeah, yeah,

1:00:03.320 --> 1:00:06.160
<v Speaker 1>she'd also pointed out that like my brother did what

1:00:06.640 --> 1:00:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Like my brother accused Jeff like Craffield of making me

1:00:09.760 --> 1:00:13.720
<v Speaker 1>into a fornicator, but by claiming that that he did

1:00:13.800 --> 1:00:16.160
<v Speaker 1>the same thing that he was saying, Craffield died to me.

1:00:16.320 --> 1:00:19.040
<v Speaker 1>He got me branded a fornicator in society and ruined

1:00:19.080 --> 1:00:22.640
<v Speaker 1>my reputation. She insisted that Craffield never had sex with her,

1:00:22.880 --> 1:00:25.680
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, this is uh, she kind of has a

1:00:25.720 --> 1:00:26.280
<v Speaker 1>point that, like.

1:00:26.360 --> 1:00:28.680
<v Speaker 3>She does kind of a point here, Yeah, Like she

1:00:28.840 --> 1:00:31.560
<v Speaker 3>is not wrong about this, right, Yeah. I mean it's

1:00:31.560 --> 1:00:33.000
<v Speaker 3>a hell of a way to make a point with it.

1:00:33.120 --> 1:00:36.520
<v Speaker 1>It's quite a point. Yeah, but she's not incorrect here.

1:00:36.880 --> 1:00:41.280
<v Speaker 3>I mean, listen, people you know have gone through yeah,

1:00:41.720 --> 1:00:44.760
<v Speaker 3>far less to make an argument. Yes, I'm glad that

1:00:44.960 --> 1:00:47.080
<v Speaker 3>she uh went all the way there.

1:00:47.080 --> 1:00:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I guess I guess what we're saying is, we're proud

1:00:49.080 --> 1:00:49.560
<v Speaker 1>of you, esther.

1:00:49.840 --> 1:00:52.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we're proud of you. Yeah. Stuck up for your man, yeah,

1:00:52.920 --> 1:00:53.960
<v Speaker 2>stuck up for yourself.

1:00:54.240 --> 1:00:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I mean, bad pick on the man, but good

1:00:56.760 --> 1:00:58.200
<v Speaker 1>and you for sticking up for yourself.

1:00:58.320 --> 1:01:02.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah, And honestly, good for you for pointing out hypocrisy,

1:01:02.520 --> 1:01:04.200
<v Speaker 3>which I think is always that's.

1:01:04.080 --> 1:01:08.280
<v Speaker 1>The most important part. So esther refuses to claim insanity,

1:01:08.680 --> 1:01:11.000
<v Speaker 1>the state forces it on her anyway, because we don't

1:01:11.000 --> 1:01:11.880
<v Speaker 1>care what a woman says.

1:01:13.720 --> 1:01:16.320
<v Speaker 2>Of course, she's not going to say she's crazy. We're

1:01:16.440 --> 1:01:19.400
<v Speaker 2>the state, yep.

1:01:20.280 --> 1:01:24.120
<v Speaker 1>So she gets committed to an asylum and yeah, eventually

1:01:24.200 --> 1:01:27.959
<v Speaker 1>she gets out after a couple of years, and she's,

1:01:28.240 --> 1:01:31.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, living at a family friend's place after getting

1:01:31.040 --> 1:01:33.960
<v Speaker 1>out of the asylum and takes a massive dose of

1:01:34.000 --> 1:01:38.440
<v Speaker 1>strychnine and commits suicide. Oh geez, Maud Hurt does the

1:01:38.520 --> 1:01:42.880
<v Speaker 1>same thing right right after the trial. So like, the

1:01:42.960 --> 1:01:45.400
<v Speaker 1>two women who are closest to Craffield killed themselves as

1:01:45.520 --> 1:01:47.680
<v Speaker 1>soon as they possibly can. And that's the end of

1:01:47.720 --> 1:01:48.120
<v Speaker 1>the story.

1:01:49.320 --> 1:01:54.280
<v Speaker 3>And that is the story of Pete Davidson. Yeah, the

1:01:54.440 --> 1:01:56.080
<v Speaker 3>man with the magic cock.

1:01:57.240 --> 1:02:00.400
<v Speaker 1>He would Pete Davidson would have been murdered by a

1:02:00.520 --> 1:02:03.280
<v Speaker 1>small town in Oregon if like, if he was had

1:02:03.320 --> 1:02:05.360
<v Speaker 1>been alive in nineteen oh six. There's no other way,

1:02:05.800 --> 1:02:08.320
<v Speaker 1>there's no other way. Probably would have been corn alice.

1:02:08.480 --> 1:02:13.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's not even that funny. Kate beckl say, what

1:02:13.760 --> 1:02:14.360
<v Speaker 2>the fuck?

1:02:16.880 --> 1:02:21.400
<v Speaker 3>No, people are reacting to him throughout the story exactly

1:02:21.760 --> 1:02:27.400
<v Speaker 3>like I react. That's a new girlfriend. Yeah, I'm just

1:02:27.520 --> 1:02:35.840
<v Speaker 3>like that motherfucker better have ten dicks. That is like,

1:02:36.240 --> 1:02:40.000
<v Speaker 3>that is such a wild story because of the fact that,

1:02:40.240 --> 1:02:42.520
<v Speaker 3>like the dick reveal.

1:02:43.320 --> 1:02:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Pos's all in a perspective, Yeah, this mysterious man. Is

1:02:50.400 --> 1:02:52.800
<v Speaker 1>he a hypnotist? I don't know. And then you see

1:02:52.840 --> 1:02:54.920
<v Speaker 1>his huge Oh okay.

1:02:55.120 --> 1:02:58.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh it's like I love that they pulled out a

1:02:58.160 --> 1:03:01.800
<v Speaker 3>really skinny guy in his massive hog and they were

1:03:01.920 --> 1:03:03.840
<v Speaker 3>just like, ah, he's the same thing.

1:03:04.480 --> 1:03:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Like the whole crowd is silent, and then suddenly like

1:03:06.880 --> 1:03:08.880
<v Speaker 1>the town and it's like, oh, because we all got

1:03:08.960 --> 1:03:10.120
<v Speaker 1>tiny dicks, I get it.

1:03:10.840 --> 1:03:20.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, fuck, good piece of ship. But everyone's bad

1:03:20.240 --> 1:03:20.840
<v Speaker 2>in some way.

1:03:21.320 --> 1:03:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, everyone's bad in some way, not all in this way,

1:03:24.120 --> 1:03:24.800
<v Speaker 1>most not in this.

1:03:24.880 --> 1:03:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Way, most not in that way. Yeah.

1:03:27.080 --> 1:03:30.360
<v Speaker 3>I just like I've yet to hear the story of

1:03:30.440 --> 1:03:34.600
<v Speaker 3>the perfect sex cult. Like so far, the closest is

1:03:34.760 --> 1:03:40.200
<v Speaker 3>like being in like theater crew. That's the closest to

1:03:40.320 --> 1:03:42.880
<v Speaker 3>a sex cult that exists. Yeah, all the you know,

1:03:43.200 --> 1:03:46.680
<v Speaker 3>just like you know, join the theater program at your

1:03:46.760 --> 1:03:47.640
<v Speaker 3>high school or.

1:03:48.040 --> 1:03:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, don't do not be telling our listeners to

1:03:50.640 --> 1:03:51.320
<v Speaker 1>do that. Man.

1:03:52.640 --> 1:03:55.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, if you're in I'm.

1:03:54.480 --> 1:03:56.520
<v Speaker 1>Just if you're in high school.

1:03:58.720 --> 1:04:03.120
<v Speaker 2>You're in high school. Well, I thought that that was implied.

1:04:03.640 --> 1:04:06.320
<v Speaker 1>No, I think the whole history of sex cults means

1:04:06.400 --> 1:04:07.720
<v Speaker 1>that shouldn't be implied.

1:04:08.000 --> 1:04:10.000
<v Speaker 2>You're right, you make a good point. You make a

1:04:10.200 --> 1:04:10.840
<v Speaker 2>great point.

1:04:11.880 --> 1:04:15.680
<v Speaker 3>You know. I'm saying, join your local theater company and

1:04:15.960 --> 1:04:17.040
<v Speaker 3>you don't even have to act.

1:04:17.200 --> 1:04:19.920
<v Speaker 2>You just run the lights and you'll that's like a

1:04:19.960 --> 1:04:21.520
<v Speaker 2>sex cult. That's what I'm saying.

1:04:22.320 --> 1:04:25.400
<v Speaker 3>Please do not just go to a high school and say,

1:04:25.560 --> 1:04:29.880
<v Speaker 3>Matt Leib sent me here to join the cult.

1:04:30.440 --> 1:04:33.440

1:04:33.520 --> 1:04:37.240
