She was 12, being heavily drugged, and woke up in an environment that she didn’t recognize at all. Further, the pedo was someone who she trusted very much and he confirmed her story with the aliens. As a young child, it isn’t surprising at all that she believed that.
She beleived it all the way up until her 16th birthday when the "mission" was set to expire. 12 ok I can maaaybe see giving a pass. A 16 year old, drugged up or not, has no business falling for that.

Indoctrination is a hell of a thing.
Being drugged, having a messed up concept of love sent at you, being a kid with an adult you think you can trust. It's going to frick with her head. It's more surprising she managed to come to her senses on her own.
Also this is Mormon afterlife.
So yeah easy, easy prey.

quote:
In Mormonism, the concept of divinity centers around an idea of "exaltation" and "eternal progression": mortals themselves may become gods and goddesses in the afterlife, be rulers of their own heavenly kingdoms, have spirit children, and increase in power and glory forever. Mormons understand that there are many gods and goddesses in the cosmos, including a Heavenly Mother.[6] However, the three persons of Godhead (God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost) are to be the only objects of worship.
quote:
According to the Plan of Salvation, under the direction of God the Father, Jehovah (the premortal Jesus) created the earth as a place where humanity would be tested. After the resurrection, all men and women—except the spirits that followed Lucifer and the sons of perdition—would be assigned one of three degrees of glory. Within the highest degree, the celestial kingdom, there are three further divisions, and those in the highest of these celestial divisions would become gods and goddesses through a process called "exaltation" or "eternal progression". The doctrine of eternal progression was succinctly summarized by LDS Church leader Lorenzo Snow: "As man now is, God once was: As God now is, man may be."[2][3] According to Smith's King Follett discourse, God the Father himself once passed through mortality as Jesus did, but how, when, or where that took place is unclear. The prevailing view among Mormons is that God once lived on a planet with his own higher god.[4][5]
According to Mormon scripture, the Earth's creation was not ex nihilo, but organized from existing matter. The Earth is just one of many inhabited worlds, and there are many governing heavenly bodies, including the planet or star Kolob, which is said to be nearest the throne of God.
So yeah easy, easy prey.

She only had to be tricked at 12. By 13 she had adopted the terminology as the framework for her abuse, but I don't really think she literally believed it.
Also, I'm 99% sure it wasn't "aliens" that spoke to her but was instead "angels", in fitting with LDS cosmology. The Mormon angle was HUGE with this thing but wasn't talked about at all in the doc.
If you strip away the aliens part, this is only mildly dissimilar from the child brides of Mormon cults.
