Incestuous cult survivor reveals disturbing rules she was forced to follow when it came to marriage and family

While we've heard plenty about celebrities who have been coerced into joining a cult, there are many who suffer the fate of being born into one.

That's the case with TikTok user Allison Eames, who became the 97th child born to her father as part of a secretive, polygamous fundamentalist Mormon sect known as the Kingston Group.

Once you've been born into a certain way of living and indoctrinated with those beliefs, it can be very hard to escape from, as one cult survivor revealed when he spoke to LADbible about the personality traits that can make you susceptible to one.

But even from the young age of 11, Allison realised that some of the things she was being taught simply did not make sense, as she was forced to take marriage preparation lessons alongside her many siblings.

Speaking on social media, she said: "I started going to preparation for marriage classes when I was 11 years old. I was born and raised in an incestuous polygamous cult here in Utah known as the Kingston's.

"My dad had 14 wives and over 160 kids. I'm his 97th child. I went to these preparation for marriage classes with all of my other sisters about my age and older who were still single.

"Different mums in the family would teach some of them.Sometimes my dad taught some of them."

The cult was founded by Charles Elden Kingston in the 1930s and its current leader, Paul Elden Kingston, is thought to have over 300 children and 27 different wives.

Alisson added: "Some of the things that they taught us were; how to budget for a big family, how to feed a big family, how to meal plan and meal prep for a huge family.

"And then how to maximise your fertility window in your lifetime, how to work on finding direction in marriage, how to recognise if the direction is from God versus not God, AKA, whether they agree with it or they don't agree with it.

"And then they also taught how to be a good wife. They got it from a little, pamphlet or newspaper from way back in the day, before women were allowed to have bank accounts.

"This was their template. And what they taught us in these preparation for marriage classes that I was going to when I was 11, but it was stuff like, always do your hair and makeup, always look nice for your husband when he gets home, make sure that the house is quiet, the vacuum's off, the kids aren't crying.

"Don't dump all of your problems onto him. When he walks through the door, let him have a chance to vent to you and release onto you. And I remember even being 11 years old and thinking, this is crazy.

"There is no way all of these women are acting like this, And well, there's no way I'm gonna do that."

Fortunately, Alisson was able to get out of the cult at the age of 16, before she was forced into any incestuous marriages, but in another video she does discuss how one of her brothers ended up married to his sister.
