Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K
John and Chino discuss various aspects of control and abuse in authoritarian religious groups, focusing on the teachings and practices of Hobart Freeman and their impact on women. They explore how doctrines around birth control, gender roles, and marital relations imposed significant physical, emotional, and psychological tolls on women in the Faith Assembly movement. The conversation highlights the broader implications of these practices, including how leadership structures manipulate members and suppress dissent under the guise of spiritual authority.
The dialogue transitions into a critique of cult-like governance in religious communities, comparing them to broader evangelical practices. John and Chino emphasize the need for accountability among leaders and support for survivors. They also reflect on personal experiences with manipulative leadership and the psychological effects on those involved. The episode concludes with a tribute to the resilience of women who endured these hardships and a call for continued exposure of harmful practices within these movements.
