TW - Religious Trauma and Sexual Shame
Welcome to another episode of the ExCommunicated podcast. We are two ex-Christians joined every week by a guest as we try to find freedom from the church after decades of control. 

In this week's episode, we continue our new series looking at the Plymouth Brethren and Tom dives into some of his experiences after 18 years in the sect. 
He talks about how the Brethren fiercely condemned 'fornication' and how this led to a generation of guilt-ridden teenagers. Tom gives us some context on why the Brethren practice this, and how he feels about it. He shares some deeply personal family stories of secret children, expulsions from church and the fear that was instilled in him by seeing this all unfold.
