カスタマーレビュー
Thanks!
A 'survivor' of christian science myself, I really enjoyed episode 277. Thanks to you and your guest for getting this knowledge out there. How brave of her to share all of that--and still, it barely scratches the surface of the physical and mental abuse that children and even adults endure in christian science. If a lifetime church member is housebound due to terminal illness, no church members will visit him and there will be no funeral. It's horribly sad and inhuman. I hope more and more people will learn about this and that the shrinking religion will disappear!
You are not alone!
This podcast is so necessary. It really helps to realize you're not alone when weird things have happened to you that are unspeakable. Paul has a kind, friendly and soothing voice. A welcome haven in a world where it's not socially acceptable to struggle with personal pain, depression or anything other than perfection.
