Recap, please???
For those of us who are just human, and not yet sufficiently exalted to use the Portal.

Recap? Get out your wall of BS barf bag. It’s off topic dribble.
Hidden read a written statement in response to a previous interview, as the writer J.G. was name checked. The statement said nothing of importance. It didn’t address the grooming by Julie Rowe and his role in it, which was the subject of the interview he was mentioned in.
J. G. (with Julie Rowe) Was the person Girl on Fire felt was part of grooming her by laying the groundwork for him to have an emotional affair with her, including by love bombing her with a love he rediscovered being that they apparently were married in a past life. Both Girl on Fire and J.G. were married to other people in this life.
Girl on Fire was interviewed on Hidden to explain her being groomed, and gaslighted to the point she was really conflicted and confused and questioned whether NOT getting closer to her past life spouse was in some way an indication the she was interfering with a divine plan for her. During some episodes, such as when J. G. Massaged her feet as a healing technique, she felt a sensation that she described as being hypnotized. In the end, she realized that she loved and was meant for her this-world husband, and the actions by J.G. were wrong. She told her husband the parts of what was going on that she hadn’t admitted before. Obviously, they had a lot to discuss to restore their marriage— and they did, and appeared together on the interview, to explain what they went through.
J. G. denied hypnotizing Girl. J.G. denied believing Joseph Smith was polygamous. J.G. denied believing in plural marriage. He talked down Chad and said he parted ways conveniently around the time Lori and Chad are presumed to have started plotting crimes. He talked up Julie Rowe, and felt that she was completely different from Chad ...because... I m not clear.
J.G. And Julie don’t believe in plural marriage, but they believe in past lives. This flummoxes me because I don’t recall Chad talking about earthly plural marriages. That can’t be the difference. I wondered, did J. G. mean that he and Julie Rowe believe in past lives but, unlike Chad, they believe that you can only marry once per—-spirit life? That is a distinction without a difference, in my opinion. Hardly a reason to splinter. He also talked about his differences with the mainstream church he has loved all his life and how he is the real victim here, grappling with a lifetime of beliefs.
Notably, J.G. limited his denial to hypnotism. He indirectly admitted to taking seductive steps towards Girl by saying he has since discussed this with and apologized to his wife. He admitted to nothing else, but filled paragraphs with the polygamy stuff noted above.
He claimed he was unable to apologize to Girl and hubby because they wouldn’t allow it. Could be, being that he was Hubby’s friend while secretly seducing Girl. J.G. spoke more of the hostility from them than about how much he wished to apologize.
J.G. did not deny or admit to any spiritual abuse/seduction. He did not deny or admit coordinating with anybody in taking these actions. He never explained what prompted him to take the actions he alluded to- I think he only specified texts, which I assume were seductive.
He continued to write positively about Julie Row, as mentioned above. He had had plenty of sentences about her and irrelevant to the point of Girl’s interview. He did not once address her more global experience of being systematically separated from her system of support which I think Girl was suggesting started with Julie; J.G. Just had the bit part of love-bombing.
Hypnotism is not in any way relevant. It is just the way Girl explained what she was going through. And she may be right, or she may not have a word for what it was if she is wrong. What is relevant is Girl related intense grooming that is possibly relevant to atrocities, and J.G. did not address them at all.
