Join us as Jon tells Sam the frankly bonkers tale of a cult set up within a High School Band programme that ended in scandal!

Learn about The Elder Council from a lame youtube channel to life on a compound (no religion needs a compound...) along with some terrible band names, inappropriate behaviour all round and some unorthodox practices.

Also: Christian astral projection, t shirt ideas, speaking in tongues, God's terrible matchmaking and (stay tuned to the very end) a nearly equally bonkers story from Jon's high school.
