These guys have zero self- awareness

“After listening to 2 episode series (Lindsay Davis on Bethel, and the Worldwide Church of God) I realized that the hosts have absolutely no self-awareness about their hypocrisy. The episodes begin with background on the relevant topic, which is usually not too terrible. However once they get past that they begin to delve into their own theology— this is where things go downhill. It seems that their definition of a cult is someone having any belief that does not conform to what they consider to be right Christian doctrine. Listen, I’m a Christian so I’m not bashing Christianity as a whole (though there are absolutely things to criticize about how some people weaponize it and twist things), but you can’t criticize Herbert Armstrong for discouraging his members to read the Bible themselves and use their own discernment to see if his interpretations were true, and then turn around and say that people who don’t believe exactly what you believe are cultish. If fear is used to control and questioning is not allowed, that’s cultish in my opinion and that is exactly what the hosts seem to be promoting with their own beliefs. I guess everyone should be able to question beliefs unless they are questioning what the hosts believe is right doctrine. How hypocritical.
I did have a laugh when the guest on part 2 of the WCG episode seemed to think one of the major clues that her family member’s church was cultish/promoting bad theology was that a book written by the organization included a quote from Gandhi. The quote itself was not revealed, so the issue was clearly not with the content as much as it was with the person who produced the content. I guess anyone who isn’t a Christian can’t have anything truthful or edifying to say? Bizarre.
I’d recommend finding a different podcast to listen to. These guys seem to have an inconsistent definition of what cults are, and they honestly don’t provide any valuable insight to the topics presented.”

“I listened to all the episodes in a week. Absolutely mind blowing and eye opening. The reason that I am giving this podcast a 3 stars is because in the A.I. Episodes it was stated that “as the gospel goes forth we come up with antibiotics and vaccines” etc. Please research Stanley Plotkin and his...”Read full review »

“I love this podcast and look forward to new episodes each week. Only suggestion is that the cult needs to be developed more before diving into the details. For example, I just finished the 2nd episode of the Bethel episode and am still not entirely sure what their history or theology is. It would...”Read full review »
