Anke Richter — international journalist, author of Cult Trip, and founder of Decult — delivers a clear and uncompromising message about how high-control groups silence their critics.Before Decult’s 2024 cult awareness conference, there was fear about even mentioning the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church because of their reputation for litigation. But the truth was spoken anyway.Anke lays bare the reality survivors face: the shame, the stigma, the loss of privacy, the trauma triggers, the therapy bills — and then the legal threats. Most survivors don’t have publishers or lawyers backing them. They speak out alone. And they pay the price.She calls out the brutality of using “big legal guns” against activists and survivors, especially when it comes from charities acting as the PR front of a coercive religious group. Her message is simple: this is about power, intimidation, and silencing. And she will not shut up about it.To every podcaster, YouTuber, and public speaker being bullied for telling the truth — Kia Kaha. Stand tall. Decult stands with you.#Decult #plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #pbcc #rapidreliefteam #oneschoolglobal #cultawareness #cultescape #cult #csasurvivor
