In the final episode of "Devotion: Obedience or Betrayal?", Gloriavale faces growing legal pressure while leaders work to convince the public, and the government, that the abuses of the past are behind them.But have things really changed?As former members continue to speak out and ongoing court cases raise difficult questions, we examine Gloriavale's efforts to reform its image and protect its future. Are meaningful changes being made to create a safer community, or is the leadership simply saying the right things to avoid outside intervention?One of the biggest questions raised in this episode is whether true free will can exist in an isolated community where members are born, raised, educated, and socialized entirely within its walls. When Gloriavale is the only life you've ever known, what does choosing to stay—or leave—actually mean?Join us as we react to the final episode of Devotion: Obedience or Betrayal?, share our perspectives from our own experiences in high-control religious communities, and discuss the complex relationship between faith, obedience, community, and choice.Have you watched the series?
