    S1E51 - Cults, a Sinking Ship

    S1E51 - Cults, a Sinking Ship

    In this enlightening episode of the Mormon Medium Podcast, hosts Nanette and Brad critically examine the defining characteristics and traits of cults, drawing parallels with their experiences within the Mormon church. They discuss topics including information control, mystical science, and the concept of 'us vs them', referencing a list written by Mark Vicente, an ex-member of the NXIVM cult. 

    Nanette also shares intimate experiences and sheds light on issues like victim-blaming, manipulation, denial, accountability, and control prevalent in cult-like structures. This deep dive into the structure of cults is intended to raise awareness and provoke self-evaluation.

    Encore False Prophets

    Encore False Prophets
    We’ve all heard the media reports about cult leaders causing tremendous harm to their followers. But that’s not the kind of false prophecy we are going to be talking about today. Prophecy is truth telling with regard to the nature of the divine and the self. False prophecy is lying with regard to the nature of the divine and self. We all have false prophets within us. And today we are going to differentiate the false from the true prophets within us. Where are we lying to ourselves with regard to the nature of the divine and the self? For to the degree to which we are lying to ourselves, that is the degree to which we lack clear direction, clear guidance about our lives. Don’t miss this one.

    The Ant Hill Kids

    The Ant Hill Kids

    Join the Boozy Bitches as they delve into the disturbing story of the Ant Hill Kids.  This doomsday cult was founded in 1977 by Rock Thériault in Quebec, Canada and lasted until his arrest in 1989.  Please listen with caution because the incidents of abuse within the cult that are discussed are nothing short of nightmarish.

    Jim Jones & The Jonestown People's Temple Movement

    Jim Jones & The Jonestown People's Temple Movement

    We're back! This week Kelsie shares the listener request of the Jonestown Massacre. Some people might know this as the suicide by Kool-Aid case, but it actually goes much deeper than that. Jim Jones was a cult leader who convinced 900+ people to die by suicide (some believe it was a mass murder covered up). There are a lot more twists and turns that brought us from a young boy named Jimmy in Indiana, to a grown cult leader called 'Father' in Guyana.

    Make sure you're following along as we upload new episodes every Monday. As always, thank you for listening!

    In this Janette’s TV & Podcast episode, Janette sits down with Canadian producers, writers, actors, comediennes, besties, and stars of the show New Eden currently streaming on Crave TV, Kayla Lorette, who portrays “Katherine Wryfield” and Evany Rosen, who portrays “Grace Lee” to talk about what motivated them to pair-up and create this eight-episode true crime mockumentary that follows “Katherine” and “Grace” from women’s rights advocates and feminist cult leaders to convicts. The series which starts in a women’s commune that is supposed to be a space for sisterhood and female empowerment, may sound dark. Really it is an exploration of gender and the courts told through a comedic perspective, and an incredible who-done-it murder mystery.

    161 - The Source Family Cult

    161 - The Source Family Cult

    In the late 1960s, James Baker transitioned from the spiritually-minded owner of a vegetarian restaurant on Los Angele's Sunset Strip to Father Yod - the leader of a cult based on the belief that he was, pretty much, god-in-the-flesh. The cult was also based in a lifestyle of sex, drugs, and rock n'roll. And also vegetarianism. Bust mostly sex and rock n'roll. Roughly 150 counter-culture flower children lived together, first in LA, and then in Hawaii, giving themself super cult-y, crystally names like Moonbeam the Aquarian. And then Father Yod lost his faith and the whole cult went down in a tragic hang-gliding accident. It's a strange story and I enjoyed telling it today, on Timesuck!
