I love a good cult documentary or podcast and I've come across one that I've been binging on recently. It The Cult I left Behind (Spotify link with Amanda Briggs. She grew up in the IBLP cult. (of the Duggar family/quiverfull infamy). Some of the episodes deal with some heavy topics (CSA among them) but on the other hand, she has mentioned loving Harry Potter 3 or 4 times so far but not once qualified that with an anti-JKR statement, and she is anti-porn and prostitution from a pro-female position (neither are really major episode topics as of 26 episodes in, but it is refreshing).
I thought I would recommend it. And if anyone has other cult documentary or podcast suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
I’ve enjoyed that podcast too :) I was thrilled when she mentioned her anti-porn stance. I do feel it’s gotten a bit boring now in further episodes though. Also, I don’t think her husband has anything insightful to add and he kind of dragged it down for me. I mean, nothing he said offended me at least, it just felt like wasted time. Even his questions were very surface level.
Yeah, he doesn't bring much. I imagine though that it's easier to have an actual human to talk to rather than talking to a mic ( I'd feel awkward anyways) and a spouse would be the easy choice in terms of coordination.
Yeah, that’s probably true. Maybe I need to reframe my thinking so I don’t get so annoyed by him 😅 I’m sure it’s easier for her to do it with somebody who cares about her.
