IMO, MG comes across as honest. Like most normal friends and faithful would, MG sounded like she had been concerned that Chad and Lori were entering territory with each other in late 2018 that they shouldn't have been as two people who were each still married to others. MG sounded openly curious, but mildly skeptical about the unconventional beliefs Chad and Lori were selling (married multiple times in past probations; their betrayed spouses would someday understand) that permitted their adulterous relationship.
I find it interesting that even though somewhat skeptical, MG played along some of the unconventional beliefs and with Chad's and Lori's use of the temple while they held and promoted those beliefs (and while Lori didn't attend church), even though their teachings and actions violated church authority. MG also seems very protective of the group, Preparing a People; insisting that they are not a "cult" (while saying that you really need to define what that word means) and that they (PAP) are nice people. It sounds like Lori - dissatisfied with her own marriage at the time as described here by MG - used that group as a jumping off point to go after Chad and once they met and placed each other on pedestals, they were both all in.
I wonder if it is generally understood among participants in PAP that church authority is being violated and undermined, but that those participating must keep the ways in which they do so quiet - like these are "spiritual searchers" who are more open to new beliefs than church-sanctioned, but recognize they are walking on thin ice. MG herself appears somewhat countercultural as far as the church goes, but unwilling to go as far as Chad and Lori go and skeptical about what is driving them. That's really an issue between PAP participants and their church, but interesting dynamics of secrecy and permissiveness that probably facilitated in Lori's and Chad's beliefs that it was up to them to decide what is acceptable and what isn't and whose business it was to know.
Interesting that Lori and Chad had separate, designated phones for communicating with each other. I wonder if the phones had cameras. I wonder if Lori's Chad-only-phone went into the "portal" with her when she was "spiritually" meeting with him. Imagine the data usage during those times. I wonder where Chad's portal was and whether whatever equipped it is now in FBI custody or at the local landfill.
IMO, it would be very nice to see what kind of phone activity occurred during these two around the time some of the life insurance changes were made (CV's account locking CV out; Tammy's policy limit being raised). Because, what's a leader of the 144,000 - or two lovebirds in a Hawaiian paradise who've moved on to the next con - to do without some funds to make it happen?
