Cult Girls gives you 5 stars baby!
Excellent content! I’m the author of the new release graphic novel CULT GIRLS (on Amazon & Barnes) by Natalie Grand. It’s a light hearted comedy, based on a true story of 4 women born, raised in the Jehovah’s Witness cult.
If you are looking for an anti-cult activist special guest my Twitter is Natalie Grand.
Trap
I don’t agree with a lot of what witness do. However I’ve was burned and raised as a witness. The fact that she opens up saying she totally selfish tells many half truths. This podcast is run by someone who was spurned by bad people not an entire group of people. They spread a ton of disinformation and are extremely opinionated. I’ve had multiple family members and not one person received a “disassociation” letter. This is nothing more then a millennial searching for attention. I think a ton of religions have problems but this isn’t something you should listen to if you want real information.
How can I contact you?
I don’t know a lot about podcast or if there is a way I can contact you but I’m in need of advise that I had rather not share on a review! How can we talk?
