The documentary explores the polygamous practices of the group, with episode 1 introducing us to Rebecca Wall, a woman who married the church\u2019s previous leader and \u201cProphet\u201d Rulon Jeffs, who at the time was 85 while she was 19.<\/p>\n
The revelation comes in the first episode, when it is claimed that only Rulon Jeffs at that time could decide the marriage partners of the women who were a part of the church. They would be \u201cturned in\u201d to Rulon AKA The Prophet, by their fathers and he would then make his decision.<\/p>\n
In the episode, Wall explains: \u201cIt had become known that there was a specific handshake that he would give to girls that would then later become his wife. And that day he shook my hand and he squeezed it three times and it meant I was supposed to marry him.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I was just like \u2018ew\u2019. Rulon Jeffs was 85 when I married him and I was 19.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her mother was the second he had married, named Sharon.<\/p>\n
In the episode, Rebecca talks of how her father had been \u201cso excited\u201d that she would be marrying Rulon Jeffs as he felt he was \u201cgetting the respect that he was entitled to and that he deserved\u201d.<\/p>
Lloyd Wall has since left the FLDS Church, and has given interviews to explain why he allowed his daughter to be married to Rulon.<\/p>\n
Speaking on Dr Phil<\/a> in 2014, he said: \u201cYou\u2019ve got to realise that fathers in this cult were programmed for the very same issue that Rebecca brought up \u2013 we thought it was a privilege and an honour to have your daughter married to the Prophet.\u201d<\/p>\n The Netflix series uses unseen archive footage and interviews with survivors, in order to show what life was like inside the group, and the rise and fall of Rulon\u2019s son Warren, who in 2011 was sentenced for child sex abuse.<\/p>\n You can read more about where Warren Jeffs is now here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey is available on\u00a0Netflix<\/a> now. <\/strong>Check out more of our Entertainment<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Documentaries<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0to see what\u2019s on tonight.<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Netflix from \u00a36.99 a month<\/a>.
