On this episode of "The Hidden Truth, Breaking the Silence," our guest today is Cherie Kropp, author of "Preserving the Truth," who shares her personal journey within the fellowship and her extensive research on the subject.
Cherie, a third-generation member, grew up on convention grounds in Mississippi, providing her with a unique perspective on the inner workings of the fellowship.
Leaving home, Cherie got married and lived in Dallas for a while. As she did not have a university education, questions started to form in her mind regarding the strict rules enforced within the fellowship.
These questions, along with a desire for personal freedom, eventually led her to leave the fellowship. Cherie explains that she began questioning the teachings of the church and sought scriptural support, but could not find any.
She recalls asking a worker about the biblical basis for there being only one way to heaven, but the worker was unable to provide any scripture to support the claim. This realization made her question the true nature of the church.
Cherie's research on the fellowship led her to start a website called tellingthetruth.info, where she collected documents and photos related to the fellowship. Eventually, she decided to turn her research into a book, spending 30 years on her research, including trips to the UK to gather more documents. Cherie sent an exit letter to many friends and family during her journey and received few responses, feeling somewhat shunned. During the conversation, Cherie and the host discuss their ongoing research into the origins and growth of the fellowship.
They touch upon interesting documents and court cases related to allegations of human trafficking and child sexual abuse within the fellowship. Cherie's passion for preserving historical information drives her to continue her work, as she believes that everyone associated with the church has the right to know the truth and make informed decisions about their involvement.
I encourage our listeners to read Cherie's book, "Preserving the Truth," for a deeper understanding of the fellowship.
Until next time, thank you for joining us on "The Hidden Truth, Breaking the Silence."
