“Only issue is the sound design, I find it a bit too on the nose and at times spoiling the atmosphere instead of enhancing it. It’s not subtle at all and a bit unimaginative. For example someone says farm- sound library pigs noises inserted, they says baby- library cries inserted all in a clumsy...”Read full review »

“An invaluable insight into how wonderful humans ended up trapped in a cult that stole their future.
Our vulnerabilities are what makes us easy targets for such organisations. The financial side is mind blowing while the members who left were penniless.
I recall Children of God when I was in my...”Read full review »

“I couldn’t finish this podcast, although it was well done, I found I just couldn’t listen any more about these horrible people who beat their children to almost death. All because they didn’t want to burn in hell. Well I hope they all do burn in hell for being such idiots.”

Not one human being on this earth knows what’s best for another and intimidation of the vulnerable through control and fear is abuse. So many...”Read full review »

“This series has really captivated me, not only from the storyline itself but the narration and witness/victim testimony was both brutal, shocking but also so very enlightening and shed the light on this outwardly-seeming benign cult that is so much more sinister. An excellent pod!”

“As an expat living in Australia I found this podcast fascinating and well produced. The only thing I would ask to please be edited *please* is the song they sing at the beginning and end of each episode. It’s creepy and almost feels like one is trying to indoctrinate.”

We also used to have a Common Ground restaurant. Every once in a while there are news stories. Mainly regarding children.
Good job. Love the story.”

Certainly helps one understand how some people can pray on the vulnerable for their gain.
Eye opening for sure.
