I had such a fun weekend last week! I went to St. George to visit my bestie Emily—aka Emil Jonas—and her husband Derek—aka Derelique. We did the usual: eat pizza, play games, watch movies, go to a polygamist community, and guzzle tons of Dr. Pepper. Oh wait...did I just say POLYGAMIST COMMUNITY?? That's right, I SURE DID!
On Sunday we decided to go to Colorado City, AZ to check out all the polygamists, and let me tell you something, it was...VERY interesting and something that I will never. Do. Again. When we got to the town, we knew right away that this was most definitely not a normal town. Each house had at least a ten foot tall fence surrounding the yard so people couldn't get in and there were signs plastered on the outsides of the fences that said no trespassing. Not to mention the homes there only had plywood for exterior walls! While we were driving around, we made jokes about there being someone in a white car following us, which turned out to be wrong; once we drove past the church, they turned in and we never saw them again. Can I just say, their church building was creepy too! It was fenced in and even had security at both entrances! Like big, burly guys who don't look nice at all. I don't know about you but I think religions that are that secretive are super sketch.
Any hoo, we decided that since it was a beautiful day, we'd stop by the town park. Right when we pulled up we looked into the park and saw some girls playing on the swing. Emily was freaked out and didn't want to the leave the car, but after MUCH convincing and begging—yes, begging and using our friendship against her—she finally got out. Just making our way to the gate, we all got the heebie jeebies because the entire park looked like it was stuck in time. The playground had to have been constructed some time in the 80's and had a giant tire swing in the middle. Once we walked in, we saw the same girls on the tire swing and as we got closer, they all jumped up and left. Super sketch, right? We decided to play around on the playground just for kicks and giggles, but as we were goofing off a big white suburban with blacked out windows pulled up and we knew for sure that we were being watched.
Feeling awkward, we decided to leave because we still had this eerie feeling that this place was no good. So yeah, that was my experience with a creepy polygamist cult. Have you ever seen a polygamist community? How'd it go? Were you completely sketched out like we were?
