Manage episode 434611966 series 3361055
A note on content for this ep: CSA and other abuse
There are many cults or high-control groups that are rooted in Christianity or are Christian-adjacent (and some groups toe the line of being one…*coughHillsongcough*). In this episode, we give an overview of just a handful of them: Christian Science, Jehovah’s Witnesses, the FLDS, Twin Flames Universe, and self-help scammers like Jodi Hildebrandt. We explore the ways these groups harm the people in them and the people who leave them with medical neglect, shunning, abuse, and manipulation. To learn more about these cults and other high control groups, check out the resources below!
Resources mentioned in this episode:
Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey on Netflix
Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer
Escaping Twin Flames on Netflix
Jordan and McKay, ex-Mormons
