  • Episode 60- The Cult with No Name (or The Garbage Eaters)
    Join us as Sam tells Jon the story of the cult with no name, also known as the Brethren. This was a listener recommendation, thanks Nely!
    In this episode we hear about their eating habits, their beliefs and their fashion- as you can imagine for a group that lives like Jesus' disciples, it's unconventional...
    Also, Sam says the worst thing Jon thinks she’s ever said, Peter learns a new lifestyle and we name our book.
    TW: Strong language, general yuckiness- no gore.

    Join us as Jon tells Sam about the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God- a church that promises to Fill your Void, through the campaign of Israel in the Temple of Solomon.
    Jon visits with (shock!) another friend, and shares with us the story of their encounter, including drinking mysterious substances, attempting to be led towards a true emotional experience, a volcano and a wheely lectern.
    The episode describes the visit, after the visit we learn some more information about this group, their practices, beliefs and crimes.
    Also, Jon doesn’t put his hand up properly, and maybe his wisdom tooth is healed now?
    CW: abuse (not graphic) and general cult warnings
