Rainy Day Rabbit Holes: Pacific Northwest History and Humor Shea And Jody

When does a religious group become a cult? In this episode, we venture into the scandalous world of the Community Chapel and Bible Training Center, nestled in the quiet community of Normandy Park, Washington (Shea's former home). This Pentecostal religious group had a dark underbelly of secrets and peculiar sexual practices, prompting speculation of cult-like tendencies veiled behind the guise of spirituality. This story of lust and faith in the Pacific Northwest has it all-money, sex, demons, ugly carpet-even murder.

Part 1 available now on Effed Up History! Listen to Part 1 first! https://open.spotify.com/show/02rG1jbgTKvvCLE33S6QvJ?si=3c0ef33553d84746

This episode is a continuation of a conversation with Krystina at Effed Up History. She told us all about the origins of Satan or Lucifer in mythology, and his role in the Witch Trials of Salem and other time periods. We take the panic into modern times, exploring the origins of the Satanic Panic of the 1980's, the figures like Aleister Crowley and Anton LaVey, and the book "Michelle Remembers" from Victoria B.C. that sparked a full blown madness. From there, we follow the repercussions into mass child abuse accusations in the Pacific Northwest in the 1990's, all the way to the QAnon craziness of the current day.

So, strap in, get yourself a cup of Northwest roasted coffee, and get ready to laugh, learn, and practice your "oh good God, what the F*(%" faces!

This is an excellent video about the Satanic Panic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgmPQGWn8pI
