Murder Amongst Friends Murder Amongst Friends

Here we are with episode 71 and we have another recommends for you. Robert Shinn added a twist to his church by recruiting TikTok dancers as his most prominent (and profitable) followers. Is it a cult? Is the documentary worth watching? We can at least answer one of those questions. You can check out all 3 episodes of Dancing for the Devil on Netflix now.
