Guy that freaked out!!! ,

Awesome content!!

Love the content! You guys just need to do more research on the policies on JWs. There is a lot of assumptions of misconceptions on their policies. I am not a JWs, but I do like diving deep into the rabbit hole of knowledge. Believe me, this group IS NOT A CULT!!!

Love Always and god bless everyone!!!

Megs1076 ,

I’m confused

How are you going to have a podcast about escaping cults when the hosts are in one? The way they talk about Christianity is more cultish then many of the cults they cover. Total lack awareness of what they’re preaching. Is podcast just to get people to join a Jesus cult???

drrrefredredre ,

The Orthodox Church is not a cult.

Wow. These guys have very little understanding of church history. Did y’all know that the church didn’t just begin in the 1500’s?! The Christian Orthodox Church is the original Church - way before the Roman Catholics and the Protestant Reformation. You can’t say that anything that isn’t in your Calvinist worldview is just some kid of cult. I love when “church lite” Americans who have never set foot in an Orthodox Church run their mouths about what they think they know about The Orthodox Church. If you spent any time trying to just understand the traditions of The Orthodox Church, you’d find that it’s incredibly Biblical. I’m highly offended.
Oh and if you have a Bible, you can thank The Orthodox Church for preserving it. Lots of beautiful Orthodox Christians died to protect the holy scriptures so that it’s still around. BTW Orthodox Christians are encouraged to read their Bibles daily. We don’t put the words of an Orthodox pastor above scripture (as was stated on your program).
I generally wouldn’t leave a 1 star rating. But this misinformation is dangerous and offensive. I was born into a family that was in a cult. I know what a real cult is and what it’s not. Cults are dangerous and destructive. Don’t mislabel the original church as a cult because you don’t understand it. SMH.
