About
Here is a podcast where I tell stories about growing up in a fairly well-known cult in the UK and USA. Starting as the Process Church of the Final Judgement and morphing into the Foundation Faith of God- it was controversial in many ways. It evolved over the years and now has no religion, functioning solely as Best Friends Animal Society. The thing is, there's much that hasn't been told about 30+ kids that were 'raised' in this cult. Cult orphans is a fair way to describe us. These are stories of my growing up in this cult. Your questions will be answered. Thirty minutes or less.
