Yes. It's just something in those old home videos that really gives me a bad vibe about him. We don't really see much of him now, but in those videos (videos that were ACTUALLY meant to be seen only by themselves for the actual memories, and not completely phony), we do see snippets of something weird.sasperillo wrote:Chad seems like a laid back grandpa now but he gave me MAJOR creepy vibes in the home videos. The way they both spoke reminds me so much of the FLDS people (the polygamist cult where he girls are told to “keep sweet, basically being groomed for abuse since early childhood). Something about that video in the trailer and the way Chad said “Ruby” just freaked me out.
And I don't know where the "mormon/Griffiths" men are completely subservient to their wives" thing came from, but having lived in Utah with mostly Mormon friends, I highly, highly doubt these men are letting themselves be completely overruled by their wives. Joel, I can see it. The rest of them, especially Chad, no.
I think C+J are just a duo team that groomed their kids in a really creepy, toxic way. Both of them.
